Terms & Conditions

1. Accepting these terms

By downloading, accessing, or using WallGang (the "Service"), operated by Chuan Ling, a sole proprietor doing business as Vairlo ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to these Terms & Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

2. Who can use WallGang

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use WallGang. If you're under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Your account

You're responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. Please give us accurate information and let us know through our contact form if you believe your account has been compromised. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account.

4. The service

WallGang lets you create shared "walls" — private collaborative canvases of photos, notes, doodles, stickers, and reactions — invite people to them, and set them as your phone wallpaper. If you choose, you can also put photos up in Taste, where everyone on WallGang can see them. Features may vary by device and platform, and we may add, change, or remove features over time. We aim to keep the Service available but don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you post to WallGang ("Your Content"). To operate the Service, you grant WallGang a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for example, resize or format), and display Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service — including syncing it to the other members of your rooms and to your wallpaper and widgets, and, for Taste photos, showing them to everyone on WallGang and on their link pages. Except for the Community Picks sharing you choose yourself, described below, this license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, apart from copies retained in routine backups for a limited time or where retention is legally required.

You're responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to post it. When you post to a room, remember the other members can see, move, react to, and save it. A picture you pick off a web page belongs to whoever made it: the credit WallGang adds, a link back to that page, is not permission to use it.

Every WallGang room is private: its content is available to the members of that room, and people join by invite. Some things reach beyond them, and only if you choose them: a link you share to one thing on a wall, which shows just that thing; Taste; and Community Picks in older versions of the app.

Taste

A photo you put up in Taste is public. Anyone signed in to WallGang can see it, like it, comment on it, and add it to their own walls, and anyone with its link can see it on our website, with your username. Putting a photo up does not make any room, or anything else on your walls, visible to anyone.

When you put a photo up in Taste, you additionally grant other WallGang members a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view it, add it to and display it on their walls, and share its link, within the Service, for as long as it stays up in Taste. You grant WallGang the right to sublicense to those members for that purpose, and to show the photo, its likes and comments, and your username in Explore, Following, search, your profile, and its link page. This license does not let anyone sell your photo or use it outside the Service.

You can take a Taste photo down at any time. It then disappears from Taste, from your profile, and from every wall it was added to, and its link stops working. Deleting your account does the same for all of them. But anyone who saw it may already have saved a screenshot, and we can't undo the fact that it was public. Only put up photos you have the right to share publicly, and never one that shows another identifiable person without their agreement.

Community Picks

Older versions of the app offered Community Picks:

• Community Picks. You can share an individual photo or room background to Community Picks, making it viewable and reusable by other signed-in WallGang members. Only the items you share this way appear there — sharing an item does not make its room, or anything else on that wall, visible to anyone.

When you share an item to Community Picks, you additionally grant other WallGang members a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view, save, copy, adapt, and display that item within the Service — including using it as a background or as part of a wall of their own, and keeping it there. You grant WallGang the right to sublicense to those members for that purpose. This is a license to use your item inside WallGang; it does not let anyone sell it or use it outside the Service.

Sharing to Community Picks is difficult to take back. You can stop offering an item in Community Picks at any time, and it will no longer appear there. But walls that already use it may continue to display it, and other people may already have saved a copy. If you delete the item or your account, it will normally disappear from those walls as well — but we can't guarantee retrieval of copies others have already saved, and we can't undo the fact that it was public. Please only share something to Community Picks if you are comfortable with that being permanent, and never share content that shows another identifiable person without their agreement.

6. Acceptable use

Keep WallGang a good place to be. There is no tolerance on WallGang for objectionable content or abusive users. You agree not to:

• Post content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative of minors, or that violates others' privacy or rights;
• Upload anyone's photo or personal content without their permission;
• Put up nudity, sexual content, graphic violence, or content that promotes self-harm in Taste, or comment to harass, bully, or threaten anyone;
• Use the Service to spam, phish, distribute malware, or attempt to breach security;
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or overload the Service, or access it through unauthorized means;
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.

You can report a Taste photo, a comment, a post, or a person from its menu, and block anyone. When three people report the same photo or comment, it is hidden until we review it. We aim to review reports within 24 hours, and we remove content that breaks these rules and suspend or remove the accounts that posted it.

7. Copyright complaints

We respect copyright and expect you to do the same. If you believe something on WallGang infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent, through our contact form or at the address below, that includes:

• The work you believe is infringed, or a representative list if there are several;
• Where it appears on WallGang, such as its link (wallgang.vairlo.com/p/…) or the username that put it up, in enough detail for us to find it;
• Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them;
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Designated agent: Chuan Ling, Vairlo, 1065 Canadian Pl, Ste 201 #364, Mississauga, ON L4W 0C2, Canada · +1 905-805-5956 · wallgangsupport@gmail.com (US Copyright Office registration DMCA-1082710).

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable the content, forward the notice to the person who posted it, and keep a record of it as the law requires. If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice through the same form, with:

• The content that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
• Your name, address, and telephone number;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the content was removed by mistake or misidentification;
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is, or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which WallGang may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent;
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We send a complete counter-notice to the person who complained and restore the content within 10 to 14 business days, unless they first tell us they have filed a court action to stop the infringement. Sending a notice or counter-notice that you know is false can make you liable for damages. We terminate the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.

8. Purchases & subscriptions

The core of WallGang — shared walls, drops, and wallpaper sync — is free, and the group-chat-replacement part always will be. We also offer an optional paid subscription, WallGang Plus, that unlocks extra features such as a higher limit on the group rooms you can own, Shared and Personal Shuffle, and more shared frames and photos, along with new Plus perks as they ship. The specific features included in Plus may change over time.

Billing. WallGang Plus is offered as an auto-renewing subscription, available as a monthly or annual plan. Purchases are made through and billed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, charged to the store account you buy with. The current price and billing period are shown in the app before you confirm, and prices may vary by region and are subject to change (we'll give notice where required, and increases won't take effect until you agree where the store requires it). We use a subscription-management provider to process store purchase receipts and keep track of your subscription status across your devices.

Auto-renewal & cancellation. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and your store account is charged for the renewal within that window. You can manage or cancel a subscription any time in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings; cancelling stops future renewals, and Plus stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Refunds. Payments, refunds, and cancellations are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their policies, so refund requests generally go through them rather than us. Nothing here limits any non-waivable refund or withdrawal rights you have under the consumer law that applies to you.

9. Our intellectual property

WallGang and its name, logo, design, software, and content (other than Your Content) belong to Chuan Ling (doing business as Vairlo) and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service as intended. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service except as allowed by law.

10. Termination

You can stop using WallGang and delete your account at any time (see Account & Data Deletion). We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as content licenses already used, disclaimers, and liability limits) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We don't warrant that the Service will meet your requirements or be secure, uninterrupted, or error-free.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, WallGang and Chuan Ling (doing business as Vairlo) won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Where liability can't be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or the minimum permitted by law. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and any disputes will be handled by the courts located in Ontario, Canada, unless mandatory local consumer law provides otherwise.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as WallGang evolves. When changes are material, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
