Terms of Service
Effective date: September 28, 2026
These terms govern your use of FixMyTakeout at fixmytakeout.com, a browser tool that writes the dates, places and captions from a Google Takeout export back into the photos and videos. FixMyTakeout is a trading name of CHM Capital Ltd ("we"). By using the tool or buying the unlock, you agree to these terms.
1. What you get
You may use the tool free of charge on the first 50 photos and videos in each browser. A one-time payment of $19 unlocks unlimited files in the browser where you paid. If you clear that browser's data, the link in your receipt email restores the unlock. Your receipt also includes a PDF guide to importing the fixed files.
2. How the tool works on your files
The tool runs on your computer. It reads your export and writes new zip files containing fixed copies; it does not change the zips or folders you give it. Keep your original export until you have checked the fixed files in the app you are moving to. The tool matches files to their JSON data using the naming rules described on this site, and some files may have no match, or be in formats that cannot hold a date; each of these is listed in the report the tool produces.
3. No warranty
The tool is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Google does not document the Takeout format and may change it, and each photo app decides for itself which dates it reads, so we do not warrant that every file will be matched or that any particular app will display every date as you expect.
4. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the tool. Our total liability for any claim relating to the tool or these terms is limited to the amount you paid us ($19, or nothing if you used only the free allowance). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
5. Refunds
If the unlock does not work, or the tool cannot process your export in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a computer, email [email protected] and we will fix the problem or refund your payment. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.
6. Acceptable use
The unlock is for your own use. Please do not share or resell your restore link, copy or resell the tool, or try to disrupt the site or its payment system.
7. Intellectual property and open-source parts
The site, its design and its text belong to CHM Capital Ltd. The tool uses open-source software under its own licenses, including ExifTool by Phil Harvey (Perl license), its WebAssembly build (@uswriting/exiftool and zeroperl, Apache License 2.0), @photostructure/tz-lookup (CC0) and the DM Sans and DM Mono fonts (SIL Open Font License). Your photos remain yours.
8. Third parties and trademarks
Payments are processed by Stripe under its terms. FixMyTakeout works with exports from Google Takeout; it is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google. Google, Google Photos and Google Takeout are trademarks of Google LLC. Other product names on this site belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in your local courts.
10. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date above will change when we do. An unlock you have already bought stays valid on the terms in force when you bought it.
