Terms of Service

Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB) · Last updated: 18 May 2026

These Terms govern the use of Before&After.Studio (the "Service"). The Service is offered by the operator listed in the Imprint ("we", "us"). By creating a Studio account or by uploading photos through a Studio's QR link, you accept these Terms.

Part A — Studio Terms (B2B)

A1. Eligibility

The Service is offered exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB (B2B). Consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB are not addressed. Sections regarding consumer withdrawal therefore do not apply to Studios.

A2. Subscription & billing

  • Plans, prices and billing cycles are displayed at checkout. All prices are net; statutory VAT is added where applicable.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of the chosen term unless cancelled before renewal.
  • Cancellation is available at any time from the dashboard and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are owed.

A3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Upload content that is unlawful, infringes third-party rights, or depicts minors in a sexualised or otherwise inappropriate manner;
  • Upload personal data of customers without a valid legal basis under the GDPR (in particular without their consent for photographs);
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or overload the Service;
  • Use the Service to send unsolicited communications or for any other illegal purpose.

A4. Studio responsibility for end-customer data

You are the controller for any end-customer data you collect through the QR upload flow. You warrant that you have obtained valid consent from the depicted person before generating layouts, and that you will delete the share link when no longer necessary. We act as your processor under Art. 28 GDPR; the accompanying Data Processing Agreement (DPA / AVV) is incorporated by reference.

A5. Intellectual property

  • You retain all rights in the photos and branding assets you upload.
  • You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process and display this content solely to operate the Service.
  • We retain all rights in the Service itself, including templates, code, and trademarks.

A6. Service availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Scheduled maintenance and outages caused by force majeure are excluded from any availability target.

A7. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. For ordinary negligence, liability is limited to the breach of material contractual obligations ("Kardinalpflichten") and capped at the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. All other liability is excluded.

A8. Termination

Either party may terminate the contract for cause. Upon termination, your account and content are deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy, subject to statutory retention.

A9. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants is the registered seat of the operator.

Part B — End-customer Terms

B1. What the Service does for you

When a Studio shares a QR code with you, you can upload a before and an after photo. We then generate branded layouts and a private link you can share. You do not need an account.

B2. Your warranties

By uploading photos you confirm that:

  • You are the rights holder of the photos, or have permission from the rights holder;
  • You consent to the Studio and Before&After.Studio processing the photos for the purpose of generating the layouts and the private share link;
  • The photos do not violate the rights of third parties.

B3. Withdrawal of consent & deletion

You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the "Terminate" button on the reveal page, which permanently deletes the uploaded photos and disables the link. Processing carried out before withdrawal remains lawful.

B4. No fee

End-customer use is free of charge.

B5. Liability towards consumers

Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected. The limitations in section A7 apply analogously to end customers to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer protection law.

Part C — Common provisions

C1. Online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

C2. Severability

Should individual provisions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

C3. Changes

We may update these Terms with reasonable notice. The current version is always available at this URL.
