Short terms for a small app.

GridMakr is published by Dennis Schmidt, an independent software developer based in Berlin, Germany. There is no company behind it — "we" in these terms means Dennis Schmidt as a sole proprietor. Formal contact details are listed in the imprint.

These terms apply to your use of the GridMakr iPhone app, distributed through the Apple App Store. They do not cover any service operated by Apple (the App Store itself, your Apple ID, in-app purchase processing) — those are governed by Apple's own terms.

We do not run any web service related to GridMakr. The marketing site you're reading these terms on is static content; no account or login exists.

Subject to Apple's standard App Store EULA, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use GridMakr on devices you own or control. You may use the app for both personal and commercial projects — the images you export are yours, with no claim attached.

You may not redistribute the app or reverse-engineer it beyond what applicable law allows.

GridMakr is free to download, and every feature is free to use. Exports from the free version carry a small GridMakr mark on each slide; removing it takes GridMakr Pro, an auto-renewing subscription sold and processed by Apple via in-app purchase — your contract for it is with Apple, under Apple's standard EULA.

Pro is billed weekly or yearly. The yearly plan may start with a free trial; if you don't cancel before the trial ends, the first year is charged. A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before, in your Apple Account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation or when the trial ends, renewals within the 24 hours before a period ends, and unused trial time is forfeited when you subscribe. Prices (from US$6.99 a week or US$39.99 a year) are shown in the app before you buy. Refunds are handled by Apple.

GridMakr is provided as-is. We make no guarantee that it is free of bugs, that Instagram or any other service will display an exported image exactly as previewed, or that it will be compatible with every future version of iOS. Where the law allows, all implied warranties beyond the statutory minimum are excluded.

Your statutory rights as a consumer — including the warranty rights granted by German and EU consumer law — remain unaffected by this section.

We are liable without limitation for damages arising from intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). For simple negligence, liability is limited to a breach of essential contractual obligations and capped at typical, foreseeable damage.

Beyond that, our liability is excluded to the extent legally permitted. Because the app runs locally, keep a backup of any photo you care about before running it through any processing tool — GridMakr included.

We may update these terms when the app materially changes. The effective date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. If a change would meaningfully restrict your existing rights, we'll call it out in the app's release notes.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence apply in addition.

The place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants is Berlin, Germany, to the extent permitted by law. We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).
