Terms & Conditions

By creating an account, uploading content, or otherwise using the Grainium mobile applications (iOS and Android), website, or professional tools (collectively, the 'Service'), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, photographers, and visitors. Capitalised terms used here have the meaning given in our Privacy Policy.

• You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account and use Grainium. • By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. • If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must additionally have the permission of a parent or legal guardian. • Accounts that fail age verification at signup are blocked. Accounts later determined to belong to someone under 16 are terminated and their data deleted.

• Account Creation: To access features such as uploading images, following users, and commenting, you must register for an account via Apple Sign In or Google Sign In. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. • Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Grainium is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account. • Account Deletion: You may delete your account at any time inside the app (Profile → Account Settings → Delete Account). Deletion is immediate and irreversible: all of your profile data, uploads, comments, AI history, and follower relationships are removed from production systems within 24 hours and from backups within 30 days. If you cannot access the app, email grainium@nicoleslittlebrother.tech.

• Your Content: You retain all ownership rights to the photographs, comments, and other content you upload. • Licence to Grainium: You grant Grainium a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical formats, and display your content specifically for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Service. • Your Responsibilities: You warrant that you own the rights to your content or have obtained all necessary permissions (including model releases) for global sharing. • You may delete individual posts at any time. Deletion revokes the licence above on a going-forward basis.

Grainium is a respectful community. You agree not to post content that: • Is Illegal: promotes illegal acts or contains child sexual abuse material (which is reported to authorities immediately). • Infringes IP: contains copyrighted material without permission. • Hate Speech: promotes violence, discrimination, or harassment. • Violates Privacy: shares personal information about others (doxxing). Artistic Content Policy: Grainium celebrates film photography as an art form. • Artistic nudes are permitted only if genitalia and explicitly sexual acts are fully obscured. • Pornography and uncensored nudity are strictly prohibited. • You are responsible for ensuring your subjects have consented to being photographed and shared.

• Strike 1 (Warning): Offending content removed; formal warning issued. • Strike 2 (Suspension): Account suspended for 7–14 days. • Strike 3 (Removal): Immediate and permanent termination of account and ban. Note: Severe violations (CSAM, credible threats of violence) result in immediate termination, bypassing this policy and a report to relevant authorities.

• Grainium provides AI-assisted tools for negative inversion, film identification, and image enhancement, powered by Google's Gemini family of models. • These tools process your images to provide previews and suggestions; Grainium does not claim ownership over any derivative work created using these tools. • AI analysis is used solely for image correction and metadata extraction. We do not perform biometric identification of individuals. • AI-generated recipes, film identifications, and development times are experimental and provided for assistance only. Always cross-reference AI suggestions with manufacturer-provided data sheets before committing real film to a process.

• To use Near Me, Map, and Events discovery, the Service requires access to your device's location. • Your precise location is never shared with other users unless you explicitly check in or tag a specific location on a public post. • Aggregated, non-identifying location data may be used to improve community event discovery and to surface relevant stores.

• Grainium facilitates discovery of photo walks, workshops, exhibitions, and lab services. • Grainium is not a party to any transactions between users and third-party labs or event organisers, and does not warrant the quality, safety, or legality of any such service. • Users participate in community events at their own risk; organisers are responsible for attendee safety and for complying with local law.

Certain features of Grainium (collectively, 'Grainium Pro') require a paid subscription. • Pricing: Subscription prices are displayed in your local currency in the in-app paywall before purchase. Prices are set by Apple App Store and Google Play according to their pricing tiers for your region and may be updated from time to time. • Billing Period: Subscriptions are offered on a monthly or annual basis; the period you select is shown at the point of sale. • Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your payment method will be charged the then-current price for the next period. • Free Trials: If a free trial is offered, it converts automatically to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel before the trial ends. • Managing & Cancelling: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your device's account settings (iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; Android: Google Play → Subscriptions). • Refunds: Refund requests are handled by the platform (Apple App Store or Google Play) in accordance with their policies; Grainium cannot process refunds directly. • Restore Purchases: If you reinstall the app or sign in on a new device, use Profile → Subscription → Restore Purchases to re-link your existing entitlement. All payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. Grainium does not see, store, or process payment card details.

• 'As Is': Grainium is provided on an 'AS IS' and 'AS AVAILABLE' basis, without warranties of any kind. The professional tools (Light Meter, Dev Timer, Negative Viewer, Safe Light, etc.) are provided for assistance only and should be verified against calibrated physical equipment before being relied upon for important shots. The 'Safe Light' feature in particular should always be coin-tested in your specific darkroom environment before use with light-sensitive material. • Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Grainium is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from app usage, including spoiled film, development errors, or losses arising from user interactions. • Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Italy. Nothing in these Terms removes any consumer protection rights you have under the mandatory law of your country of residence. • Changes: We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in-app; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Questions about these Terms? Email grainium@nicoleslittlebrother.tech.
