AI features are provided as optional tools.

Uploaded content processed by AI is used only to deliver the requested feature (e.g. transcription, title or summary generation). We do not use user content to train our own AI models.

AI-generated outputs are provided "as is" and may contain inaccuracies.

7. Subscriptions, Payments & Refunds

7.1 Merchant of Record

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Polar.sh. Polar.sh is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. They are responsible for processing payments, managing tax compliance (including VAT), and handling billing-related customer inquiries. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to Polar.sh's Terms of Service.

7.2 Subscription Terms

By choosing a paid plan, you authorize Polar.sh to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) at the then-current rate. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings; cancellation stops future billing but does not trigger an automatic refund for the current billing period.

7.3 EU Right of Withdrawal & 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

In accordance with EU consumer law, residents of the European Union have the right to withdraw from their initial subscription within 14 days of purchase.

BuildAGallery extends this 14-day money-back guarantee to all users worldwide. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase. For detailed instructions on how to exercise this right, please visit our Refund Policy.

8. Referral Program & Bonus Storage

8.1 Program Participation

BuildAGallery offers a referral program where users can earn additional storage capacity ("Bonus Storage"). By participating in this program, you agree to these terms and conditions.

8.2 Earning Bonus Storage

Bonus Storage is granted when a new user signs up via your unique referral link and successfully completes the email verification process. Both the referrer and the referred user will receive 500MB of storage. This bonus is capped at a maximum of 10GB of total earned storage per account, which is added to the base storage of your current subscription tier.

8.3 Branding Badge

For users on the Free Tier, the "Powered by BuildAGallery" badge is a mandatory component of the Service and serves as an automated referral vehicle. Attempting to hide, remove, or tamper with this branding (e.g., via custom CSS or scripts) is a violation of these Terms and may result in the immediate removal of all Bonus Storage or account termination.

8.4 Abuse and Fraud Prevention

Bonus Storage is granted at our sole discretion and is subject to verification. We reserve the right to audit, reset, or revoke any Bonus Storage and/or suspend accounts found to be engaging in:

If suspicious or fraudulent activity is detected, we may reduce your storage limit to the base level of your current plan without prior notice.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for:
