Terms of Use

Agreement

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Kerem Serinkan, the independent developer in Türkiye who makes Shared Gallery. Throughout these terms, “we” and “us” mean Kerem Serinkan. By creating an account or using the Shared Gallery app or sharedgallery.app, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use Shared Gallery.

Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need the permission of a parent or guardian.

Your account

You sign in with a code sent to your email, or with Apple or Google. Keep access to your email account secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You are responsible for what happens in your account. You can preview a gallery from an invite without an account; adding photos, liking, downloading and joining need one.

Galleries and invitations

• Everyone in a gallery can see everything in it, add photos and videos, like them, download them and invite others.
• Anyone in a gallery can delete any photo in it, unless its owner turns on “Everyone can only delete their own photos”.
• The owner can rename the gallery, change its cover, and remove or block people. Removing or blocking someone permanently deletes the photos and videos that person added to the gallery.
• An invite code or link works like a key: anyone who has it can preview the gallery and join it. Codes expire 24 hours after they are created, and anyone in the gallery can make a new code, which stops the old one from working. Share invites only with people you want in the gallery.

Your content

The photos and videos you add remain yours. To run Shared Gallery, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, copy and process them (for example, to make previews and remove location data) and to show them to the people in the gallery and, as a preview, to people holding an invite to it. This permission is only for operating Shared Gallery and ends when the content is deleted.

Only add content you have the right to share. Remember that people in a gallery can download what you add and keep their own copies.

Community rules

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Don’t use Shared Gallery to share or do any of the following:

• anything illegal;
• any sexual content involving minors — we report it to the authorities;
• nudity or sexual content of someone without their consent;
• harassment, threats, bullying or hate speech;
• violent or graphic content meant to shock or glorify harm;
• spam, scams or impersonation;
• content that violates someone else’s copyright, privacy or other rights;
• attempts to break into, overload, scrape or get around the limits of the service.

You can report a photo, video or person from the app, and a gallery owner can remove or block people. We review reports within 24 hours. When content or behavior breaks these rules, we may remove the content and suspend or delete the accounts involved, with or without notice.

Plans and limits

On the free plan, a gallery holds up to 100 items (photos and videos together), and you can own one gallery. Joining other people’s galleries doesn’t count toward this.

Every plan also has limits that keep the service working, such as how large a file can be and how many galleries or people an account or a gallery can have. The app tells you when you reach one.

We may change these limits. If a change affects content you already have, we’ll tell you in advance.

Shared Gallery Pro

What it does. When anyone in a gallery has an active Shared Gallery Pro subscription, the gallery’s free limits are lifted for everyone in it and videos can be added to it. With your own subscription, you can also download originals at full quality and create more galleries. Each subscription includes 25–200 GB of storage, depending on your country. The amount is shown in the app before you buy.

Billing. Shared Gallery Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. The price is shown in the app before you buy and is charged to your Apple Account or Google Account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it before the current period ends — on the App Store, at least 24 hours before. On iPhone, you can manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions; on Android, in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or by Google under Google Play’s refund policies.

Your Apple or Google account. A subscription belongs to the Apple Account or Google Account that bought it. It is active on the Shared Gallery account that most recently bought or restored it with that store account, and on one Shared Gallery account at a time. Deleting your Shared Gallery account doesn’t cancel the subscription.

When a subscription ends. If no one in a gallery has an active subscription anymore, the gallery returns to the free plan’s limits: everything already in it stays, but nothing beyond the free limits can be added. In the future we may move the content of galleries without an active subscription to slower, lower-cost storage, or delete it after a period without one. Before any such change applies to your galleries, we will tell you in advance.

Deleting content and accounts

Deleting in Shared Gallery is permanent: there is no trash and it can’t be undone.

• Leaving a gallery deletes the photos and videos you added to it, for everyone.
• Deleting a gallery deletes everything in it, including what others added.
• Deleting your account deletes the galleries you created (including photos others added to them) and the photos you added to other galleries.

Shared Gallery is not a backup service. Keep your own copies of anything you want to keep.

Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep Shared Gallery running and your content safe, but the service is provided “as is” and “as available”. It may be interrupted, and we may change, add or remove features.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for loss of content, data or profits, arising from your use of Shared Gallery, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for Shared Gallery in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or the rights you have as a consumer under the laws of the country where you live.

Ending your use

You can stop using Shared Gallery at any time and delete your account in the app. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other people or the service.

If you downloaded the app from Google Play

Your use of Google Play is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service, and these terms apply in addition to them. These terms are between you and us, not Google, and we, not Google, are responsible for the app and its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For important changes, we tell you in advance in the app or by email. If you keep using Shared Gallery after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms; if you don’t accept them, you can delete your account.
