Terms and conditions.

By accessing and using Galerly, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of Galerly after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.

Galerly provides cloud-based tools for photographers to create, manage, and share professional photo galleries with clients.

Services include photo storage, gallery creation, client sharing, download management, branding customization, and analytics tools.

To use Galerly, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

You may not share your account with others. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

Your Content: You retain all ownership rights to photographs and content you upload to Galerly. By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and process your content solely to provide our services.

Our Platform: All content on this website, including software, design, logos, and text, is owned by Galerly and protected by copyright laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of our platform without written permission.

Copyright Infringement: If you believe content on Galerly infringes your copyright, reach us through our contact form with detailed information about the alleged infringement.

You agree to use Galerly only for lawful purposes. You may not upload content that is illegal, offensive, defamatory, violates intellectual property rights, or infringes on others' privacy.

Prohibited activities include: attempting to breach security, accessing other users' accounts without permission, distributing malware, spamming, or using automated tools to scrape content.

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

Galerly offers four subscription plans: Free, Starter ($9/month or $90/year), Pro ($29/month or $290/year), and Business ($69/month or $690/year). Paid subscriptions require payment in advance and automatically renew unless canceled.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe, in the currency shown at checkout: US dollars, Swiss francs, euros or British pounds, depending on your country. You are responsible for any applicable taxes for your jurisdiction. By subscribing, you accept these billing terms.

Upgrades: Plan upgrades and monthly-to-annual switches take effect immediately. You are charged the full price of the new plan, minus a credit for the unused portion of your current subscription. The credit is calculated as: (current plan price / total days in period) x remaining unused days.

Downgrades: Plan downgrades and annual-to-monthly switches take effect at the end of your current billing period only. You retain full access to your current plan until then.

No Refunds: All payments are final. No refunds or credits are provided under any circumstances, including for downgrades, cancellations, or unused portions of a billing period after a downgrade. Swiss consumer protection laws apply.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No refund is provided for the remaining period.

Client Payment Fees: On the Free plan, Galerly charges a platform fee of 15% on client payments collected through the Stripe account connected to your Galerly account. This applies to every payment method offered through Stripe, such as card or PayPal, and to payments for invoices, booking deposits and store purchases.

The 15% fee is calculated on the amount payable after any discount and before taxes and shipping charges. No Galerly platform fee is charged on payments you collect outside Stripe, such as a bank transfer to your own bank account. Paid Galerly plans do not incur this platform fee.

You remain responsible for all Galerly platform fees arising from client payments made through your account. If a platform fee is not deducted automatically at the time of payment, the corresponding amount remains payable by you to Galerly. Deleting your Galerly account does not discharge any outstanding platform fees incurred before deletion.

Outstanding Fees Following Account Deletion: Deletion of an account does not release the account holder from any payment obligation that accrued before deletion. Any fees that remain due to Galerly remain payable notwithstanding the deletion of the account.

Where fees remain outstanding following account deletion, Galerly may refuse to create a new account using the same email address until the outstanding fees have been paid or the matter has otherwise been resolved. Galerly may retain limited information for these purposes in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

Any refusal to create a new account under this provision is without prejudice to the account holder's right to contact Galerly to dispute the outstanding fees or request a review of the relevant account status.

Canceled Subscriptions: Cancelling a paid subscription does not immediately delete your account or its data. Your access remains available until the end of the applicable billing period, after which your account continues on the Free plan. Account deletion is a separate process and takes effect 30 days after you request deletion of your account, subject to the limited retention described in our Privacy Policy and any retention required by law.

Manual Deletions: Content that you manually delete, including photos and galleries, is removed from Galerly's active systems in accordance with our applicable deletion procedures, subject to any retention that is required by law or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Account Deletion: If you request deletion of your account, the account is scheduled for deletion 30 days after your request. You may cancel the deletion request during this period. Following deletion, Galerly will remove your account data and content in accordance with its applicable retention procedures. In limited circumstances, Galerly may retain a restricted amount of information where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, including the recovery of outstanding fees.

Storage Exceeding the Plan: If an account stores more than the storage included in its plan, Galerly may make galleries unavailable to clients until the account is within that limit. Galerly reviews the galleries from the most recently created to the oldest: each gallery that fits within the remaining storage stays available; a gallery that does not fit is made unavailable, and Galerly continues with the older galleries. Archived galleries count toward storage and are reviewed after the other galleries. Instead of this automatic order, the account holder may choose in the account which galleries stay available, provided that together they fit within the limit; the other galleries are then made unavailable. If the account has had galleries unavailable to clients for sixty (60) consecutive days, counted from the day the first of them was made unavailable, Galerly may schedule the unavailable galleries and their associated content for deletion by sending the deletion notice described below. Changing which galleries are unavailable does not restart this period; the period ends when the account no longer has unavailable galleries. The deletion notice identifies each gallery concerned and its scheduled deletion date, which is no earlier than thirty (30) days after the notice; only galleries identified in it that are still unavailable on that date are deleted. A gallery that becomes unavailable after the notice is deleted only after a separate deletion notice and a further period of at least thirty (30) days. For accounts that already have unavailable galleries on 14 December 2026, the sixty-day period starts on that date. The account and its other content are not deleted under this paragraph. The account holder may prevent deletion by bringing the account within the storage limit, or by changing to a plan that provides sufficient storage, before the scheduled deletion date.

Inactive Accounts: To avoid retaining personal data for longer than necessary, Galerly may delete a free account (an account without a paid subscription or other paid entitlement), including its associated content, if the account holder has not signed in to or otherwise actively used the account for twelve (12) consecutive months. Access to a gallery by a client or other visitor does not, by itself, constitute use of the account.

Deletion Notice: Before deleting galleries or an account under this section, Galerly will send a deletion notice to the email address registered to the account at least thirty (30) days before the scheduled deletion date, followed by reminders seven (7) days and one (1) day before that date. The notice identifies the galleries or the account concerned, the scheduled deletion date and how to prevent the deletion. During the notice period the account holder can download or export the content concerned. For galleries affected by the storage limit, deletion will not take place if, before the scheduled date, the account has been brought within the storage limit or has changed to a plan providing sufficient storage. For inactive accounts, deletion will not take place if the account holder signs in or otherwise actively uses the account before the scheduled date. Deletion includes the personal data and content relating to the affected galleries or account, subject to retention obligations imposed by law. Records that Galerly must retain by law, including certain accounting and payment records, are retained only for the applicable legal purpose and period, as described in the Privacy Policy.

The three provisions above apply from 14 December 2026.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or Swiss law.
