2. Haftungsausschluss / Liability Disclaimer

2.1 Software provided "as is"

PowerFolio is provided strictly "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Julian Gnass expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions of any kind. You use PowerFolio entirely at your own risk.

2.2 Limitation of liability

In no event shall Julian Gnass be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use PowerFolio, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be fully excluded under mandatory German or EU law (e.g. in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence causing personal injury), liability is limited to the amount paid by the user for the subscription in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or €50, whichever is lower.

2.3 External links

This application may contain links to third-party websites. Julian Gnass has no control over those sites and accepts no responsibility for their content, availability, or privacy practices.

3. AI-Generated Imagery & No Real-Person Resemblance

3.1 Nature of images

All human figures, faces, character portraits, and scenarios depicted in PowerFolio marketing materials, example output files, and screenshots are either:

• AI-generated — created using generative machine-learning models (e.g. Stable Diffusion / FLUX variants) and do not represent any real, living, or deceased person; or
• Personal photographs taken by Julian Gnass or contributed by explicit consent of the individual depicted.

3.2 No resemblance intended

Any resemblance between AI-generated likenesses and real, living, or deceased persons is entirely coincidental and unintentional. If you believe an image constitutes an unlawful likeness of a real person, please contact julian.gnass@me.com for immediate review and removal.

3.3 User-generated content

PowerFolio processes images supplied by the user locally on the user's own device. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any images you process comply with applicable law, including personality rights, copyright, and data protection obligations. Julian Gnass accepts no liability for unlawful use of third-party images.

4. No Endorsement or Affiliation

References to any professional industries, production companies, studios, organisations, or workflows (e.g. film & TV production, VFX, game development, casting) are made for illustrative purposes only. PowerFolio is an independent product.

No studio, broadcaster, games publisher, casting agency, or other commercial entity has endorsed, approved, sponsored, or affiliated itself with PowerFolio unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement. Any third-party trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners.

The use of AI model names (Stable Diffusion, FLUX, ComfyUI, etc.) is for informational reference only. PowerFolio is not produced by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Stability AI, Black Forest Labs, or any other AI model developer.

5. Intellectual Property & Software Protection

5.1 Copyright

The PowerFolio software, its source code, compiled binaries, visual design, user interface, logo, documentation, and all associated creative assets are protected by copyright law (§§ 2, 69a UrhG and applicable EU Directive 2009/24/EC on the legal protection of computer programs). © 2024–2026 Julian Gnass. All rights reserved.

5.2 Licence grant

Subject to an active paid subscription (Pro) or acceptance of the Free Tier terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use PowerFolio solely for your own lawful personal or commercial creative purposes. The Pro licence remains valid for as long as your subscription is active. No rights are granted beyond those expressly stated herein.

5.3 Prohibited acts

You must not, and you must not allow any third party to:

• Copy, reproduce, or distribute the software or any portion of it, in source or object form, except as permitted by law;

• Rent, lease, sell, sublicence, transfer, or otherwise commercially exploit the software to third parties;
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, watermarks, or licence verification mechanisms embedded in the software;
• Use the software for any unlawful purpose, or in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law.

5.4 Template & layout designs

The pre-built templates and layout designs bundled with PowerFolio are part of the software and are subject to the same intellectual property protections. You may use the output (the contact sheets you create) freely for personal or commercial projects. You may not extract or resell the template designs themselves as standalone products.

6. Subscription Terms (Free & Pro)

• Monthly: €8.99 / month
• Yearly: €79.00 / year (billed annually)

All prices are shown in Euros (€). As a Kleinunternehmer pursuant to § 19 UStG, Julian Gnass does not charge VAT. The price stated at the time of purchase constitutes the binding offer. Pricing may change for future billing periods with at least 30 days' prior notice.

6.4 Payment & billing

Payments are processed by Stripe (Stripe, Inc. / Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.). By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You may cancel at any time via the billing portal; access continues until the end of the paid period.

7. Datenschutz / Privacy (DSGVO · GDPR)

7.1 Responsibility

Verantwortlicher im Sinne der DSGVO und des BDSG: Julian Gnass — julian.gnass@me.com

7.2 Data collected — this application

PowerFolio collects the minimum data necessary to operate the service: your email address (for account creation and login), subscription status (via Stripe), and standard server access logs. Passwords are stored as salted hashes and never in plain text. Your email is used solely for account management and, where you have consented, for service notifications.

7.3 Image processing

PowerFolio processes all image files on your own device only. No images or project files are transmitted to any remote server by the application itself.

7.4 Stripe & payment data

Payment information is handled exclusively by Stripe. Julian Gnass does not store credit card numbers or full payment details. Stripe may process your data as described in Stripe's privacy policy.

7.5 Your rights (DSGVO Art. 15–22)

You have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object to processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact julian.gnass@me.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 27, 91522 Ansbach, Bayern.

8. Widerrufsbelehrung / Right of Withdrawal

German and EU consumer law grants consumers a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts (§ 355 BGB; EU Directive 2011/83/EU), beginning on the day the subscription contract is concluded.

Digital content exception: In accordance with § 356 Abs. 5 BGB, the right of withdrawal expires upon commencement of delivery of digital content — i.e. when your Pro access is activated — provided you have been informed of this and have given explicit prior consent during checkout. This consent mechanism is implemented in the Stripe checkout flow.

To exercise a withdrawal right within the 14-day window (where applicable), contact julian.gnass@me.com with your name, email address, and the date of purchase. Amounts paid for the current billing period will be refunded within 14 days by the original payment method.

Cancellation (ongoing subscriptions): You may cancel your subscription at any time via the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time within a paid period, except where required by mandatory law.

9. Changes to These Terms

Julian Gnass reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes take effect upon publication of the revised version at this URL. The effective date at the bottom of this page reflects the most recent revision.

For material changes that affect existing Pro subscribers, notice will be given by email to the address associated with the subscription at least 30 days in advance, where practicable. Continued use of the service after a change is published constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of its conflict-of-laws rules and to the exclusion of the UN CISG, where permissible.

Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which a consumer habitually resides (within the EU) are not affected by this choice of law.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Munich (München), Bavaria, Germany, to the extent permitted by applicable law. EU consumers retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of their country of habitual residence.

Online dispute resolution: The European Commission provides a platform for ODR at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Julian Gnass is not obliged to participate in ADR/ODR procedures but will engage in good faith where practicable.
