Terms and Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before using our service

Last updated: 18 September 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the shared.click photo-sharing service ("Service") operated by North Arrow Pty Ltd ("we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Service.

Change of operator. shared.click was previously operated by Maiwald Solutions (Berlin, Germany). The Service and associated data were transferred to North Arrow Pty Ltd, an Australian company, in September 2026. Your subscription, your content and your event links are unaffected; these Terms replace the previous Terms with effect from the date above.

3. Service Description

shared.click is a photo-sharing platform that allows users to:

  • Upload photos and videos to event-specific galleries
  • Access shared galleries through unique event links
  • Download photos from events they have access to
Important Security Notice
Photos uploaded to our Service are accessible to anyone who has the event link. Do not upload sensitive, private, or confidential images.

4. Subscription Plans, Billing, and Cancellation

We offer a free plan and paid subscription plans (Lite, Standard, Pro). Current prices, storage quotas, and feature differences are listed on our pricing page . Prices include applicable taxes, which are calculated at checkout based on your billing address.

New subscriptions are offered in US dollars (USD) with yearly billing only.

Subscriptions concluded before 18 September 2026 continue at the price, currency (EUR) and billing interval agreed at the time — monthly or yearly — until you cancel or change plan. Changing plan moves the subscription to the current USD yearly prices.

4.1 Free Plan

  • Access to event content is available for 30 days from event creation.
  • After the 30-day period, access to events and their content will be restricted.
  • We reserve the right to delete free plan events and associated content at any time after the initial 30-day period.
  • We may also delete content immediately in case of Terms violations.

4.2 Paid Plans — Term and Renewal

  • Yearly subscriptions have a minimum term of twelve (12) months. After the initial term, the subscription renews automatically for additional twelve-month periods until cancelled.
  • Monthly subscriptions concluded before 18 September 2026 have a minimum term of one (1) month and renew automatically at the end of each monthly billing period until cancelled.
  • Cancellation during a renewed yearly term: once your initial twelve-month term has elapsed and your subscription has automatically renewed, you may cancel the renewed term at any time with one (1) month's notice to the end of the following month. Cancellation during a renewed term takes effect on the last day of the month following the month in which we receive your notice; you remain liable for any payments already invoiced for that period and no refund is issued for the unused portion. To exercise this right, contact [email protected]. (During the initial twelve-month term, the cancellation rules in Section 4.4 apply.)
  • Content remains accessible for the duration of your active subscription. Storage quotas and retention periods vary by tier as listed on the pricing page.
  • We will provide reasonable advance notice of any material change to plan pricing, retention, or features.

4.3 Upgrades, Downgrades, and Plan Changes

You may change your plan at any time from the pricing page. Plan changes follow these rules:

  • Upgrades on a USD yearly plan take effect immediately. We use Stripe's standard proration: the unused portion of your current plan is credited and applied to the cost of the new plan, and any remaining difference is charged to your saved payment method on the same day. Your next regular invoice is issued at the new plan's price.
  • Downgrades on a USD yearly plan are scheduled for the end of the current billing period. You retain access to your current plan until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the new plan begins at the next renewal date. No refund is issued for the unused portion of the current plan.
  • For subscriptions concluded before 18 September 2026 (EUR): moving to a higher tier is completed through a new checkout, and the new USD yearly price takes effect at the end of your current billing period, with no proration and no charge before that date. Moving to a lower tier takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you keep the tier you have paid for until then.
  • A scheduled change replaces the automatic renewal at the previous tier — your subscription transitions to the new plan instead of renewing at the old one.
  • You may cancel a scheduled change any time before it takes effect by selecting a different plan or by re-selecting your current plan.

4.4 Cancellation

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time from the pricing page by clicking "Cancel Subscription".
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
  • Your subscription remains active and you continue to have access to all paid features until the cancellation date.
  • On the cancellation date, your account is moved to the Free plan and the retention rules in Section 4.1 apply.
  • You may reactivate a cancellation at any time before it takes effect; once cancellation has taken effect, you may re-subscribe at any time.

4.5 Payment, Invoices, and Failed Payments

  • Payment is processed by our payment service provider, Stripe. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
  • Invoices are issued automatically for each successful payment and are available in your account or via email.
  • If a recurring payment fails, we will retry the charge according to Stripe's standard retry schedule. After repeated failed attempts, your subscription may be marked past-due and ultimately cancelled.

4.6 No Refunds

Subject to the right of withdrawal in Section 4.7 and any mandatory consumer rights under applicable law (including the Australian Consumer Law and, for EU consumers, EU consumer protection law), all payments are final and non-refundable. We do not refund the unused portion of a subscription if you cancel, downgrade, or stop using the Service before the end of the paid period.

4.7 Right of Withdrawal (consumers in the EU)

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a paid subscription contract within fourteen (14) days from the date the contract is concluded, without giving any reason. To exercise this right, you must inform us by an unambiguous statement (e.g. an email to [email protected]) of your decision to withdraw. To meet the deadline, it is sufficient that you send the communication before the withdrawal period has expired.

Exception for digital services: by expressly requesting that we begin providing the paid service before the end of the fourteen-day withdrawal period (which we treat as the case for any paid subscription whose features you actively use during that period), and acknowledging that your right of withdrawal expires once the service has been fully provided, you consent to the immediate execution of the contract. In practice, by selecting "Confirm and pay" / "Continue to checkout" in our pricing flow and beginning to use any paid feature within the fourteen-day window, you are taken to have given that consent.

Effects of withdrawal: if you withdraw validly within the deadline and have not yet used any paid feature, we will refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) days after we receive your notice of withdrawal, using the same payment method you used for the original transaction. If you have already used the paid service during the withdrawal period, you may owe us a proportionate amount for the part of the service performed up to the time you notified us of your withdrawal.

4.8 Recommendation: Backup Your Photos

  • We recommend downloading and backing up important photos independently of our Service.
  • We are not responsible for data loss due to account termination, plan expiration, or any other reason, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

4.9 Merchant of Record

For subscriptions purchased from 18 September 2026, Stripe acts as merchant of record and is the seller for that transaction. Stripe handles applicable taxes, and appears on your receipt and card statement accordingly. North Arrow Pty Ltd remains the provider of the Service and your contracting party for the Service itself. Subscriptions concluded before 18 September 2026 are billed directly by North Arrow Pty Ltd.

Paid subscribers benefit from higher fair use allowances appropriate to their subscription tier.

9. Service Availability

We strive to maintain Service availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, updates, or other operational reasons.

10. Australian Consumer Law and Disclaimer of Warranties

Australian Consumer Law and other mandatory rights. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, and consumers in other countries may have equivalent mandatory rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any such guarantee, right or remedy. Where we fail to meet a consumer guarantee and the failure is not a major failure, our liability is limited (at our option) to resupplying the service or paying the cost of having it resupplied.

Otherwise, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that content is accurate or complete, or that defects will be corrected.

You acknowledge that data loss may occur and that you are responsible for maintaining backups of your content.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses.
  • We are not responsible for content uploaded by users or for unauthorized access to photos resulting from shared event links.
  • Our total aggregate liability under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or EUR 100.

This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless North Arrow Pty Ltd, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Content you upload, share, or transmit through the Service
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of third parties, including intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Any claim that your content caused damage to a third party

This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Service. This section does not apply to consumers to the extent it would be void under mandatory consumer protection law.

13. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to:

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, government actions, or other force majeure events.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law allows.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and North Arrow Pty Ltd regarding the use of the Service. These Terms supersede any prior agreements or understandings, including the previous Terms issued by Maiwald Solutions.

18. Changes to Terms
