Last updated 26 October 2026. These terms are the agreement between you and the maker of Shutterlings, GP Develop, 421 W Riverside Ave, Ste 381, Spokane, WA 99201-0402, USA ("we"). By using the Shutterlings apps or service you agree to them, to the Community Rules, and to how the Privacy Policy says we handle your information. If you do not agree, please do not use Shutterlings. Questions go to support@shutterlings.com.
Shutterlings is unfinished and is being tested. Things will break, change or be rebalanced. While it is in testing:
You must be 13 or older. If the law where you live needs a parent or guardian to agree for someone your age, they must agree to these terms too.
One account is for one person. You are responsible for what happens on your account. Keep your phone and your Google or Apple sign-in to yourself.
Your photos stay yours. You keep every right you have in them.
So that the game can work, you give us a licence to use the photos you choose to develop, and the notes and names you send with them. The licence lets us store them, send them to the companies that help us run the game (such as our AI provider), make Shutterlings from them, show them to you, and, when a photo is Public, show it and its Shutterling to other players in Shutterlings, including in the full game when the test ends. The licence is worldwide, free of charge and not exclusive. You cannot sell or transfer it, and we may pass it only to the companies that help us run the game. Making a photo Private ends our right to show it to other players. The whole licence ends when you delete your account, except that players who already have one of your Shutterlings keep it, with a picture of its type instead of your photo.
Only send photos that you took or have the right to use, and that follow the Community Rules. Do not photograph people or private details you do not want seen.
Shutterlings, their pictures, names, descriptions and moves are made partly by AI. They can be odd or wrong. We may change or remove any Shutterling's name or text, and we may remove any photo from the game.
Film, Snaps, items, frames, Shutterlings, levels and ladder ratings are part of the game. They are not money, they cannot be sold or exchanged for money, and they belong to the game, not to you. Snaps and frames you buy (see Purchases) have no cash value, cannot be transferred to anyone else or exchanged for money, and do not expire.
Where the apps offer them, you can buy with real money, through Google Play or the Apple App Store:
Prices shown in the store may differ by country, and the store shows the final price and any tax before you pay. You must be signed in to your Shutterlings account, not playing as a guest, to buy.
Google or Apple takes your payment and handles your payment details. We never see your card. Your purchase is covered by the store's own terms as well as these.
The subscription. Shutterlings Plus renews by itself every month until you cancel. It gives 4 Snaps a day, kept up to 12 saved, 125 Film each day you play, and a new Shutterlings Plus frame when you subscribe and with each monthly renewal, yours to keep (one for each month you pay for). To cancel, open Subscriptions in Google Play or the App Store (on your phone or the store's website) and cancel there. Deleting the app or your Shutterlings account does not cancel it. After you cancel, Plus keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, and you are not charged again. Frames you got from it stay yours.
Refunds. Google and Apple decide refunds under their own policies, so ask the store. If a purchase is refunded, we remove the Snaps from it you have not spent, or the frame it bought.
Changes. We may change what the subscription gives, or its price, with notice in the app or the store. A price rise for existing subscribers follows the store's rules. Snaps and frames you have already bought are kept.
Your account. Purchases belong to your Shutterlings account. If we close your account for breaking these terms, or if you delete it, what you bought goes with it, and we do not refund it ourselves.
Do not:
If you break these terms or the Community Rules, we may remove content, limit what your account can do, or suspend it for a time or for good. Serious cases may be acted on without a warning. A suspended account can still sign in, see its album and delete itself. If you think we got it wrong, write to support@shutterlings.com.
You can stop at any time, and delete your account in the app (Account page, DELETE ACCOUNT). How deletion works: Delete your account.
Shutterlings is provided as it is and as available during a test. We do not promise it will work, be available, be free of errors, or keep your album. As far as the law allows, we give no warranties of any kind, whether stated or implied.
As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, for lost data or game progress, or for anything other players do. As far as the law allows, our total liability to you for anything to do with Shutterlings is limited to the greater of US$100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, or takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be taken away.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute is heard in the state or federal courts located in Spokane County, Washington, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it in your local courts.
We may change these terms. When we do, we post the new version at this address and update the date at the top; please check back from time to time. If you keep playing after a change is posted, the new terms apply. If you do not agree, stop using Shutterlings and delete your account.
