Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of Galrivo. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. Please read them. They are written to be clear, not to bury anything.

The service

Galrivo lets anyone create shareable galleries from the photos and videos in their Google Drive. We provide a presentation layer on top of Google Drive. We do not host, store, or own any of your files.

Your account

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Galrivo. By signing up, you confirm you meet this requirement.

Account security

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Do not share your password. If you think your account has been compromised, contact us immediately and change your password.

Accurate information

Please provide accurate information when creating your account. Do not impersonate another person or use a misleading name or display name.

Acceptable use

You may use Galrivo only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Share galleries containing content that is illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others
• Use Galrivo to distribute spam, malware, or phishing material
• Attempt to access accounts or data belonging to other users
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Galrivo application
• Use the service in a way that places excessive load on our infrastructure
• Resell or sub-license access to Galrivo without our written permission

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Your content

Photos, videos, and files you display through Galrivo remain entirely yours. You grant Galrivo only the minimal permissions needed to read the specific Google Drive files you pick and display them to the people you share your gallery link with. We do not claim any ownership over your content.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share content through your galleries. This includes having appropriate model releases, licences, or permissions for any identifiable people or copyrighted material.

If you turn on a public profile, the details you choose to show there (such as your name, contact details, location, links, and any featured Instagram post) become publicly visible. You are responsible for that information being accurate and for having the right to publish it, including not posting anyone else's private contact details without permission. You can make your profile private or remove any detail at any time from your dashboard.

Google Drive integration

By connecting Google Drive, you authorise Galrivo to access only the specific files you pick using Google's file picker (Google's drive.file permission). We do not gain access to anything else in your Drive. We use this access solely to read those files and display them in your galleries; we never change, move, rename, or delete them. You can revoke this access at any time by disconnecting Drive in your settings, or by visiting your Google Account permissions page. Revoking access will take your galleries offline until you reconnect.

Galrivo's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Your use of Google Drive is also subject to the Google Terms of Service.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep Galrivo running reliably, but we cannot guarantee 100% uptime. We may perform maintenance, add features, or change parts of the service from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will give you reasonable notice.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the service. If we ever shut down Galrivo, we will give you at least 30 days notice to export your gallery settings.

Pricing and payments

Galrivo is currently free to use. We may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, pricing will be shown on our website before you are charged, and existing subscribers will receive at least 30 days notice before any price increase takes effect.

Should paid plans become available, refunds will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact us within 14 days of the charge.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Galrivo is provided on an as-is basis without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of business.

Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or £100, whichever is greater.

Intellectual property

The Galrivo name, logo, and application code are our intellectual property. You may not copy, imitate, or use them without our permission.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Termination

You can close your account at any time from your account settings. We may terminate your account if you breach these terms, after giving you reasonable notice where possible. On termination, your account data will be deleted within 30 days.

Changes to these terms

If we make material changes to these terms, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of Galrivo after that date constitutes acceptance.
