Terms and Conditions

These Terms govern the BLUEGRADE website. Once the BLUEGRADE iPhone application is released, they will also supplement the applicable App license terms. Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement will apply unless a custom EULA is supplied through App Store Connect.

1. Operator

2. BLUEGRADE service

BLUEGRADE is currently presented before its public App Store release. The planned App includes photo presets, editing tools, crop and export controls, educational material, and a curated Explore catalog. Features, compatibility, launch timing, and Free or Pro availability may change before release. The binding feature set will be the one shown in the released App and its App Store product page.

3. App license

The App is licensed, not sold. Subject to these Terms and Apple’s applicable Usage Rules and Standard EULA, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use BLUEGRADE on Apple-branded products you own or control. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

4. Your photographs

You retain ownership of your photographs and edits. You are responsible for having the rights, releases, and permissions required to edit, export, publish, or commercially use an image. BLUEGRADE does not claim ownership of your content.

5. BLUEGRADE intellectual property

The App, website, interface, marks, documentation, preset designs, graphics, and original content are owned by or licensed to the operator and protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may not redistribute presets, extract or resell assets, copy the service, or use BLUEGRADE branding without permission.

6. Free and Pro access

The planned Free version includes the features identified as Free on this website. The planned Pro tier unlocks the features identified as Pro. The intended Austrian launch reference prices are €6.99 per month and €59.99 per year for auto-renewable subscriptions, including applicable tax. These are pre-release reference prices and may change. After release, Apple will display the binding localized price, included features, and renewal terms before purchase. No free trial or lifetime purchase is currently planned.

7. Purchases and subscriptions

No BLUEGRADE subscription can be purchased through this website before the App is released. Once in-app purchases become available, they will be processed by Apple. The product, billing period, localized gross price, applicable taxes, renewal information, and cancellation options will be displayed before confirmation. Auto-renewable subscriptions continue for the selected billing period until cancelled through Apple Account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the already-paid period. Apple controls payment processing and refunds under its rules and applicable mandatory law. Restore Purchases will be available for eligible entitlements through the Apple Account used for purchase.

8. Acceptable use

You must not misuse the App or website, interfere with security or availability, introduce malicious code, unlawfully scrape or redistribute content, attempt unauthorized access, reverse engineer except where law expressly permits, infringe third-party rights, or use BLUEGRADE for unlawful activity.

9. Third-party services

Distribution, purchases, photo selection, and sharing rely on Apple services. External links and services are governed by their own terms. BLUEGRADE is responsible for its App and support; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for BLUEGRADE beyond obligations it separately accepts.

10. Updates and availability

We may update, replace, or discontinue features, presets, compatibility, or online catalog content for security, legal, technical, or product reasons. We do not promise uninterrupted service, but paid entitlements and mandatory consumer protections will be respected.

11. Warranty and consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory conformity, warranty, refund, or other consumer rights that cannot be waived. Subject to those rights, the service is provided with reasonable care and without a promise that every creative result will match personal expectations.

12. Liability

Liability is not excluded for intent, gross negligence, personal injury, mandatory product liability, or any matter that law does not permit us to limit. To the extent legally permitted, we are not responsible for indirect loss caused by misuse, incompatible third-party services, or failure to maintain independent backups of photographs.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the website at any time. After subscriptions become available, an active subscription may be cancelled through Apple. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address fraud, abuse, security threats, legal requirements, or material breach. Rights that by nature survive termination—including intellectual-property provisions and accrued claims—remain in effect.

14. Governing law and disputes

Austrian law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections of their habitual residence. Mandatory consumer venues remain available. The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform was discontinued in 2025 and is therefore not linked.

15. Changes and contact

Material changes will be published with a new effective date. Questions, complaints, and support requests can be sent through the support page.
