Terms of Service

1. Agreeing to these terms

SignGrant is operated by Orange Studios, LLC (“SignGrant”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account, or by opening and signing a release, you agree to these Terms. If you use SignGrant on behalf of a business, you agree to them for that business and confirm you have authority to do so. If you don't agree, please don't use SignGrant.

SignGrant is used by customers (the photographers, studios and their team members who have an account and create releases) and signers (the models, parents or guardians, property owners and witnesses who fill in and sign a release). Some sections apply only to customers; they say so.

2. Accounts and eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old to open an account.
• Give us accurate account information and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password secure. You're responsible for activity on your account, including by team members you invite. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you think your account has been used without permission.
• Team owners control their team's shared releases and decide who is invited and removed.

3. What SignGrant does

SignGrant lets customers create release templates, send releases for signature or have them signed in person, produce signed PDFs with an audit trail, add blockchain timestamps, and keep and organise signed releases, including copying them to cloud storage the customer connects. Customers can also save people's details in a shared Model Directory to reuse on new releases, and, on paid plans, import releases signed before SignGrant. We may improve, change or stop offering features over time. If we remove something significant that you pay for, we'll give you reasonable notice.

4. Your releases and your responsibilities

Customers decide what goes into a release and what happens to it, and are responsible for:

• Making sure the release, its wording and any custom terms are suitable and legally sufficient for your shoot, your jurisdiction and how you intend to use the images.
• Having a lawful basis to collect the personal information in a release, telling signers how it will be used, and handling it as the law requires, including privacy and records-keeping laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2257 where they apply to you.
• Checking the identity and age of the people who sign, and making sure a parent or legal guardian signs for any model who is a minor.
• Having the rights to the photos, logos and other material you upload.
• Having a lawful basis, and where needed the person's consent, to save their details in your Model Directory; keeping those entries accurate; sharing them only with team members who should have them; and deleting entries you no longer need. Everyone on your team can see and use the directory.
• Only importing releases you are entitled to hold. Imported releases are records of signing that happened elsewhere; SignGrant doesn't verify them or vouch for their validity. AI-suggested details can be wrong, so you must check each one before saving.
• Keeping your own copies of releases you need. We work hard to keep your data safe, but you should download or sync releases you can't afford to lose.

Details pre-filled from the Model Directory are only a convenience: a signer can change them, and what they sign is what counts.

Signers agree to give accurate, truthful information, to sign only for themselves or for a person they are legally authorised to sign for, and to read a release before signing it. A release is an agreement between the signer and the customer who sent it; SignGrant is not a party to it.

5. Electronic signatures

By signing a release in SignGrant, you agree to use an electronic signature and intend it to have the same effect as a handwritten one, as permitted by laws such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. After signing, a signer can ask for a copy of the signed release by email. Some documents or jurisdictions may require a handwritten signature, notarisation or other formalities; customers are responsible for knowing when that applies.

6. Stock-agency and legal forms

SignGrant includes built-in templates based on forms published by others, such as Getty Images, Adobe Stock, and Shutterstock releases, and a form for 18 U.S.C. § 2257 records. Those names and forms belong to their owners. SignGrant is not affiliated with or endorsed by Getty Images, Adobe, Shutterstock, or any other agency. We try to keep these forms accurate and current, but agencies change their requirements, and we can't guarantee that an agency will accept a particular release or that a form meets every legal requirement that applies to you.

7. Plans and fees

SignGrant offers a free plan with limits (for example, on the number of releases) and paid plans with more features. The features, limits and price of each plan are shown in the app or given to you when you choose it. Fees are charged in advance for each billing period and, except where the law requires otherwise, are not refundable. We may change plan features or prices; we'll give you notice before a price change applies to you, and you can cancel before it takes effect. If you move to a plan with lower limits, you keep your existing releases, but some features may no longer be available.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to use SignGrant to:

• Deceive, pressure or trick anyone into signing, or obtain a signature from someone who can't legally give it.
• Create, store or distribute content that is illegal, including any material that sexually exploits minors, or to facilitate human trafficking or non-consensual imagery.
• Forge signatures, impersonate anyone, or falsify release or audit records.
• Send spam or unsolicited messages.
• Infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights.
• Access accounts or data that aren't yours, probe or break our security, upload malware, or put an unreasonable load on our systems.
• Copy, resell or reverse-engineer SignGrant, or scrape it with automated tools, except as the law expressly allows.

We may report illegal activity, including suspected child sexual abuse material, to the appropriate authorities.

9. Third-party services

Some features rely on services run by others, such as cloud storage (for example Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive), email delivery, AI document reading for Import (provided by Anthropic), and public blockchain timestamping. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms. We aren't responsible for third-party services, and features that depend on them may stop working if they change or become unavailable. Blockchain timestamps are permanent and can't be removed once made.

10. Who owns what

Your content. Customers own their releases, templates, photos and other content they put into SignGrant. You give us permission to store, copy, process and display that content only as needed to run SignGrant for you, including sending it to the people and services you direct.

Our service. SignGrant, including its software, design, logo and built-in template layouts, belongs to Orange Studios, LLC and its licensors. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use SignGrant under these Terms. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information SignGrant handles and how. It forms part of these Terms.

12. Suspension and closing accounts

Customers can stop using SignGrant at any time and ask us to close their account at [email protected]. We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken, if we need to for legal reasons, or to protect SignGrant, our customers or others. Where it's reasonable, we'll give notice and a chance to download your releases first. Sections that by their nature should continue after an account closes (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification) will continue.

13. Disclaimers

SignGrant is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Templates and information in SignGrant are provided for convenience and are not a substitute for advice from a lawyer about your situation.

SignGrant is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and we don't promise that SignGrant will be uninterrupted, error-free or that data will never be lost, or that any release will be enforceable or accepted by any agency, publisher or court.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Orange Studios, LLC and its owners, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunities, arising from or relating to SignGrant or these Terms, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for all claims relating to SignGrant or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose or US $100.

Some places don't allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded or limited, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

Customers agree to defend and indemnify Orange Studios, LLC against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by others that arise from your content, your releases, your use of SignGrant, or your breach of these Terms or the law.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you and we consent to those courts' jurisdiction. Before starting a claim, please contact us at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it. Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer-protection laws where you live that can't be waived by contract.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as SignGrant changes. We'll change the effective date above, and for significant changes we'll let customers know by email or in the app before the change takes effect. If you keep using SignGrant after that, you accept the updated Terms.

If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of it. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about SignGrant.
