Terms & Services

Last updated: October 2026

App: Walldrop

Provider / Contracting party ("we", "us", "Provider"): Matthias Hausberger

Germany

E-mail: terms@walldropapp.com

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.


1Who can use the App (age requirements)

The App is intended for users aged 13 or older.

If you are under 18, you may use the App only if your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the App.

You represent that you meet the age requirements above and that all information you provide is accurate.

Note: Platform rules and Apple account requirements vary by country/region; you must still comply with these Terms regardless of platform eligibility.


2The App and what it does

Walldrop is an iOS application that lets you:

  • upload and store images,
  • organize images into "spaces" that can be shared by invitation, and
  • apply AI-based edits using predefined styles (you cannot enter free-form prompts).

Core features of the App are offered free of charge. Some features may be offered as an optional paid subscription, as described in Section 3.

2.1 Product analytics

To understand how people use Walldrop and improve the App, we use product analytics. Product analytics is enabled by default when you accept these Terms during registration and may include screens viewed, feature usage, app lifecycle events, and device/app metadata. We do not use this information for targeted advertising across other companies' apps or websites.

You can turn product analytics off at any time in Settings → About by selecting “Help us improve the product.” This choice does not affect your account, access to the App, or paid functionality. More information is in our Privacy Policy.


3Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Some features of the App may be offered as an optional paid subscription ("Subscription"). Where a Subscription is offered, the following terms apply. If you never purchase a Subscription, this section does not affect you.

3.1 Purchases are made through Apple

Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through your App Store account. We never receive or store your payment card details. Apple's payment terms and privacy policy apply to the transaction.

3.2 Price, term, and automatic renewal

Before you confirm a purchase, Apple shows you the price, the billing period, and the renewal terms. By confirming, you agree to those terms.

  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your App Store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the start of the new period.
  • We will give you reasonable advance notice of any price increase, and the increase will only take effect for billing periods beginning after that notice.

3.3 Free trials and introductory offers

If a free trial or introductory offer is provided, it converts into a paid, automatically renewing Subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends.

We will remind you before the trial converts. We will send you a reminder, at the latest, a reasonable period before the end of the free trial, stating when the trial ends, the price that will then be charged, and how to cancel. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a Subscription.

3.4 How to cancel

Cancelling is at least as easy as subscribing, and takes no more steps. You can cancel at any time, without giving a reason, and without contacting us first.

  • In the App: open Settings and select "Manage Subscription", which takes you directly to the cancellation screen.
  • On your device: open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Walldrop, then Cancel Subscription.
  • By e-mail: write to terms@walldropapp.com and we will help you cancel.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep access to paid features until then. Because Apple processes the transaction, only Apple can cancel a Subscription on your behalf; we cannot do it for you, which is why the routes above lead to Apple's cancellation screen.

3.5 Refunds and your right of withdrawal (EU/UK consumers)

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's refund policy. We are not able to issue refunds for purchases made through Apple.

If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days. By starting to use paid digital content immediately, you may be asked to consent to immediate performance and to acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. Where that consent has not been given, your 14-day withdrawal right is unaffected by these Terms.

3.6 Changes to paid features

If we materially reduce the features included in a Subscription you are paying for, we will notify you and you may cancel as described in Section 3.4. Statutory rights to a price reduction or termination under applicable consumer law remain unaffected.


4Accounts

You may need to create an account to use certain features.

You are responsible for:

  • maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials,
  • all activity under your account, and
  • promptly notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may refuse registration, suspend, or terminate accounts as described in Section 12.


5User content and sharing

4.1 Your content

"User Content" means any images or other content you upload, generate, or store through the App (including AI-edited outputs based on your uploads).

Private by default: Content is private unless you share it via a space and invite others.

4.2 Spaces, invitations, and downloads

If you invite others to a space, you understand:

  • invited users may be able to view, download, export, and share content available in that space (as permitted by the App's features), and
  • you are responsible for sharing only content you have rights to share.

6Your rights and our limited license to operate the App

You keep your rights in your User Content, subject to applicable law.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use your User Content only as necessary to:

  • operate, maintain, secure, and provide the App,
  • perform AI processing you request through the App's features,
  • troubleshoot, prevent abuse, and enforce these Terms.

This license ends when your content is deleted from our systems, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate security/back-up purposes for a limited time (see Section 13).


7AI features and third-party processing

The App uses third-party AI providers (currently including OpenAI and Google (Gemini)) to perform AI edits via predefined styles.

When you use AI editing features, your relevant inputs (e.g., the image you submit for editing) may be processed by these providers to produce the output. Your use is also subject to our Privacy Policy and (where applicable) the providers' terms.

No guarantee of results: AI outputs can be unpredictable and may contain errors or undesired results. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before using or sharing them.


8Acceptable use and prohibited content

You may not use the App to upload, generate, share, store, or distribute any content that:

  • Breaks the law or promotes illegal activities.
  • Is sexual content involving minors or exploits minors in any way (zero tolerance).
  • Is hateful, harassing, threatening, or incites violence.
  • Infringes intellectual property rights (including copyrighted images you do not have rights to use).
  • Violates privacy or data protection rights (e.g., doxxing, sharing someone's personal data without permission).
  • Contains malware, attempts to gain unauthorized access, or disrupts the App or infrastructure.
  • Is fraudulent, deceptive, or impersonates others.
  • Attempts to bypass restrictions, scrape the service, or reverse engineer the App except to the extent permitted by law.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We remove such content and may restrict, suspend, or terminate the accounts responsible (see Sections 9 and 12).


9Reporting content, copyright complaints, and takedowns

9.1 Reporting from inside the App

The App provides a way to report content or behaviour. If you report something, please provide enough detail for us to evaluate the report. We may remove content or restrict access if we believe it violates these Terms or may create risk or harm.

9.2 Notice and action (EU Digital Services Act, Art. 16)

Anyone may notify us of content in the App they consider illegal. Send notices to copyright@walldropapp.com. To let us act on a notice, please include:

  • a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the content illegal;
  • a clear indication of the exact electronic location of the content (for example, the space and the image concerned, or a share link);
  • your name and e-mail address, except where the content concerns child sexual abuse material or certain offences against the person, where you may notify us anonymously; and
  • a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information in the notice is accurate and complete.

We will confirm receipt without undue delay and decide in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner. Where we remove content or restrict an account, we will give the affected user a statement of reasons explaining the decision and the redress available, in line with Art. 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, unless we are legally prevented from doing so.

9.3 Copyright complaints

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement and remove infringing content expeditiously once we have been properly notified. If you believe content in the App infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the contact below containing:

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf;
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
  • identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it;
  • your contact information (address, telephone number, and e-mail address);
  • a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Copyright complaints contact

Matthias Hausberger

Germany

E-mail: copyright@walldropapp.com

Counter-notice: if your content was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same contact including identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement explaining why you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, and your contact information. We will review it and may restore the material.

Please submit notices and counter-notices in good faith. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation may expose you to liability for the resulting damages under applicable law.

9.4 Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright or who repeatedly provide manifestly illegal content. We may also suspend, for a reasonable period and after prior warning, the processing of notices or complaints from people who frequently submit ones that are manifestly unfounded.


10Intellectual property in the App

The App, including its software, design, trademarks, and underlying content (excluding User Content), is owned by the Provider or licensors and is protected by applicable laws.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms.


11Third-party services and infrastructure

The App relies on third-party infrastructure and services (including Cloudflare for hosting/storage and AI providers for AI editing). We are not responsible for outages or failures caused by third parties, though we will try to restore service as reasonably possible.


12Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict access to features, if we believe you:

  • violated these Terms,
  • created risk or potential harm,
  • attempted abuse, fraud, or security attacks, or
  • used the App in a way that could expose us or others to liability.

Inactive accounts

We may terminate accounts that have been inactive for more than 1 year. Where reasonable, we may provide notice before doing so.


13Deletion and retention

If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data and content within 90 days, unless:

  • retention is required by law, or
  • we need limited retention for security, fraud prevention, backups, or dispute handling.

Details are in the Privacy Policy.


14Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The App is provided "as is" and "as available."
  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that AI outputs will meet your expectations.
  • You are responsible for your use of the App and any decisions made based on content or AI outputs.

15Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption.

Liability cap

Where liability is permitted but limited, the Provider's total liability arising out of or related to the App will not exceed the greater of:

  • the amounts you paid to the Provider for the App in the six (6) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or
  • EUR 50.

Important legal carve-outs

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for:

  • intent (Vorsatz),
  • gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit),
  • liability for injury to life, body, or health,
  • mandatory statutory liability that cannot be excluded (including certain product liability),
  • or other rights that cannot be waived under applicable consumer laws.

16Changes to the App and the Terms

We may change the App and these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes to the Terms, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., in-App notice or on our website). Your continued use after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance.


17Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

If you are a consumer and mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence grant you additional rights, those rights remain unaffected.

If you reside in the United States, Section 18 (arbitration and class action waiver) also applies to you and governs how disputes are resolved.

Jurisdiction

  • If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, exclusive place of jurisdiction is the Provider's registered place of business in Germany.
  • Otherwise, the statutory rules on jurisdiction apply.

18Dispute resolution for United States users (arbitration and class action waiver)

Please read this section carefully.

It applies only if you are a resident of the United States. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual binding arbitration instead of in court, and it waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You can opt out within 30 days — see Section 18.6.

18.1 Scope

This Section 18 applies only to users who reside in the United States. It does not apply to users in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, or any other jurisdiction where such an agreement is unenforceable, and nothing in it limits rights that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.

18.2 Informal resolution first

Before starting arbitration, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek to terms@walldropapp.com. Both sides agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter for 60 days after the notice. This step is a precondition to starting arbitration.

18.3 Agreement to arbitrate

If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and the Provider agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court, except as stated in Section 18.5.

  • The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms.
  • The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator.
  • Unless you and the Provider agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in the US county where you reside, or may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or on written submissions.
  • The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and any award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 18.

Questions about whether a claim is subject to arbitration are for the arbitrator to decide, except that a court decides disputes about the scope or enforceability of Section 18.4.

18.4 Class action and jury trial waiver

You and the Provider agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding.

You and the Provider each waive any right to a jury trial for disputes covered by this Section 18.

If this Section 18.4 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court, while all other claims remain in arbitration.

18.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may:

  • bring an individual claim in small claims court, if it qualifies;
  • seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property; and
  • bring an individual action before a government agency, where applicable law permits.

18.6 Your right to opt out (30 days)

You can reject this arbitration agreement and keep your right to sue in court. Send an e-mail to terms@walldropapp.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out", stating your name and the e-mail address on your account, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or of the date this Section was first added, if you already had an account).

Opting out affects nothing else. Your account, your use of the App, and the rest of these Terms are unchanged, and we will not treat an opt-out as a reason to restrict your account.

18.7 Costs and severability

Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees is governed by the AAA rules, and we will pay the portion of those fees the AAA rules require us to pay for consumer arbitrations. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys' fees unless a statute or the arbitrator's award provides otherwise.

If any part of this Section 18 other than Section 18.4 is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.


19Apple-specific terms (iOS)

These Terms are between you and the Provider, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

You acknowledge that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries may be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may have the right to enforce them against you.
