Terms and Conditions for AWM Release Manager

Last updated: July 24, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the AWM Release Manager mobile application (“the App”), provided by Angry Whale Media Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Description of the App

The App is a productivity tool that helps photographers and studios create, capture signatures for, store, and export model release forms and related project/subject records. All data you enter is stored locally on your device, as described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use the App as a User. The App is intended for professional/business use by photographers, studios, and similar users, not for use by children.

3. Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy and legality of any information you enter into the App, including personal information about the subjects you photograph;
  • Obtaining valid, informed consent from each Subject (and, where applicable, a parent or guardian for minors) before recording their information or capturing their signature;
  • Complying with all laws applicable to your collection, storage, and use of Subjects’ personal data (including privacy, publicity/likeness, and consent laws in your jurisdiction);
  • The legal sufficiency and enforceability of any release language, template, or document generated or exported through the App. Templates provided in the App are a convenience starting point, not legal advice.
  • Keeping your device secure (e.g., using a device passcode/biometric lock), since release data is stored locally on your device;
  • Maintaining your own backups. We do not store a copy of your data, so if you lose your device, uninstall the App, or delete data without a backup, it may be unrecoverable.

4. No Legal Advice

The App may include default or template release language for convenience. This content is provided “as is” for general reference only and does not constitute legal advice. Laws governing model releases, likeness rights, and consent (including for minors) vary by jurisdiction and by use case. You should consult a qualified attorney to confirm that any release language and process is appropriate for your specific circumstances before relying on it.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

  • Collect personal information from a Subject without their (or their guardian’s) knowledge and valid consent;
  • Violate any applicable law, including privacy, publicity, or data protection laws;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except as permitted by law;
  • Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its operation.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, and branding, is owned by Angry Whale Media Inc. and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose. You retain all rights to the data and content you enter into the App (e.g., project details, subject information, photos, signatures).

7. Third-Party Services

The App may let you share generated documents through other apps installed on your device (e.g., email, messaging, or cloud storage apps) using your device’s native share function. Your use of those third-party apps and services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies; we are not responsible for them.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY TEMPLATE, DOCUMENT, OR RELEASE GENERATED BY THE APP WILL BE LEGALLY VALID OR ENFORCEABLE IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANGRY WHALE MEDIA INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, INCLUDING ANY DATA LOSS DUE TO DEVICE FAILURE, UNINSTALLATION, OR LACK OF BACKUP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF ANY, TO USE THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Angry Whale Media Inc. from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a Subject or third party (including failure to obtain proper consent).

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or discontinue the App, or update these Terms, at our discretion, for example to reflect new features or legal requirements.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above when we do. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
