AI-Enabled Tools
Some of our product and service offerings utilize or are developed with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. These AI tools are designed to process vast amounts of data and generate outputs using algorithms, without human-like understanding or discretion.
Artificial intelligence, being in its nascent stage globally, might not always produce perfect or universally agreeable results. The outputs from our AI tools may sometimes not align with users’ expectations, personal beliefs, or sensitivities. It is crucial to understand that these results, being generated by algorithms, do not represent BeFunky’s views or intentions. While we strive to provide the most accurate and user-friendly experience possible, please be aware that the results from these AI tools are inherently probabilistic and might contain omissions, inaccuracies, or errors.
BeFunky neither warrants nor guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of outputs from our AI tools. We disclaim any liability or responsibility arising from the use, interpretation, or reliance on these outputs, including any indirect or consequential effects they might cause.
We value our users’ insights and feedback. If you have concerns, suggestions, or feedback regarding our AI-enabled features, or if you believe that the AI has produced content that may be considered offensive or inappropriate, please reach out to us:

Plus Account Subscription Renewal
Your BeFunky subscription will automatically renew at its expiration date unless you cancel it prior to your payment date.

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your My Account page. Due to security and privacy reasons, under no circumstances will BeFunky cancel a subscriber’s subscription via email or phone. A subscription cancellation can only be made by the respective subscriber from their My Account page.
