Strangely Drawn — Terms of Service & End User License Agreement
Effective date: August 19, 2026
These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Grain Studios (“Grain Studios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of the Strangely Drawn mobile application and any related services (together, the “App”).
Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.
These Terms include an important disclaimer of warranties (Section 12), a limitation of liability (Section 13), and an indemnification obligation (Section 14). Please read them closely.
1. What Strangely Drawn Is
Strangely Drawn is an anonymous drawing app. In short:
- You can take or import a selfie (a photo of your face) and share it to a public pool.
- A stranger can pick a selfie from the pool and draw that person on a canvas.
- The finished drawing is delivered back and shown in the subject’s “how you were drawn” feed.
Selfies and drawings are the core content of the App, and once they pass moderation they are shown publicly to other users. Do not share anything you are not comfortable making public.
The App uses anonymous sign-in only. You do not create an account with an email, name, or password, and you do not have a public profile. Your identity in the App is an anonymous user ID. For details on what we collect and how we handle it, see our Privacy Policy at https://strangelydrawn.grainlabs.io/privacy.
2. Eligibility
The App is intended for users 13 years of age and older. It is not directed to children under 13, and you may not use the App if you are under 13.
By using the App, you represent and warrant that:
- you are at least 13 years old;
- if you are under the age of majority where you live, you have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the App; and
- your use of the App does not violate any law or regulation that applies to you.
If we learn that we have collected content from a person under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App, contact us at support@grainlabs.io.
3. License to Use the App
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Grain Studios grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on an Apple-branded device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
This is a license, not a sale. Grain Studios and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all software, designs, text, graphics, and other content we provide (excluding content submitted by users). All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.
Apple App Store terms. Because you obtain the App through Apple’s App Store, your license is also subject to the Usage Rules in Apple’s App Store Terms of Service, and to Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple Standard EULA”), available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. These Terms are the “end-user license agreement” referenced there. If any term here conflicts with the Apple Standard EULA, the more restrictive term that protects Grain Studios and Apple will apply to the extent permitted. Section 16 sets out additional Apple-specific terms.
4. Anonymous Sign-In and Device Integrity
The App signs you in anonymously through our backend provider, Supabase. You are responsible for the security of the device you use. Because sign-in is anonymous and tied to your device and app installation, losing access to your device or reinstalling the App may permanently and irreversibly disconnect you from your prior content, and we may be unable to recover or reassociate it with you.
To deter automated abuse, the App uses Apple’s App Attest at sign-in to check that requests come from a genuine, uncompromised instance of the App. This is a hardware attestation and does not collect personal data. You agree not to interfere with, circumvent, or defeat this or any other integrity or anti-abuse measure.
5. Your Content
“Your Content” means everything you submit through the App, including your selfie, your drawings (vector stroke data and a rendered image), any optional timelapse, and any reports you file.
5.1 You keep ownership
As between you and Grain Studios, you keep all ownership rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.
5.2 License you grant to us
By submitting Your Content, you grant Grain Studios a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute Your Content for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the App — including displaying it publicly to other users in the App as part of the core experience described in Section 1, and reproducing it as reasonably necessary for moderation, safety, backup, and technical operation.
This license lets us, for example, show your selfie in the public pool so a stranger can draw it, deliver a drawing to the person who was drawn, and display drawings in a subject’s feed. This license ends when Your Content is removed from our active systems, except that (a) we may retain backup or archival copies for a reasonable period, and (b) the license survives for any copies others made or shared while Your Content was public, which we cannot control or retrieve.
5.3 License between users
When a drawing you make is delivered to the person you drew, and when a drawing of you is delivered to you, each of you may view and keep that content within the App as the experience allows. You do not receive any ownership right in another user’s content, and you may not use another user’s content outside the App except as expressly permitted here.
5.4 Your representations about Your Content
You represent and warrant that, for all of Your Content:
- you have the right to submit it, and doing so does not violate any law or any other person’s rights;
- for any selfie or likeness, the face shown is your own, or you have the explicit consent of every identifiable person shown to submit their photo and likeness to a public pool where strangers will view and draw them;
- Your Content does not infringe or misappropriate any copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other right; and
- Your Content complies with these Terms and our Community Guidelines.
Do not submit a photo of someone else without their clear permission, and do not submit a photo of any person under 13. You are solely responsible for Your Content and the consequences of submitting it.
5.5 Local gallery
Your drawings are also saved on your device in a local gallery. That local copy lives on your device and is subject to your device’s own controls and backups. Deleting your account (Section 15) removes your server-side content; the local copy on your device is not affected and remains under your control until you delete it yourself.
6. User Responsibilities and Conduct
You are responsible for how you use the App and for everything you submit. You agree to use the App lawfully, respectfully, and in accordance with these Terms and the Community Guidelines at https://strangelydrawn.grainlabs.io/guidelines.
7. Prohibited Uses
The following are examples of what you may not do in the App. This list mirrors and incorporates the Community Guidelines at https://strangelydrawn.grainlabs.io/guidelines; the Guidelines are part of these Terms.
You may not submit, share, or engage in:
- Sexual or nude content, sexually explicit or suggestive material, or content that sexualizes any person.
- Content sexualizing, endangering, or exploiting minors in any way.
- Photos or drawings of anyone other than yourself without their explicit consent, or any content that impersonates a real person.
- Harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech, or targeting of any person or group, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or any protected characteristic.
- Violent, graphic, gory, or shocking content, or content promoting self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
- Illegal content, or content that promotes illegal activity, sale of regulated goods, or dangerous acts.
- Infringing content that violates someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
- Personal or identifying information about yourself or others (for example, names, addresses, phone numbers, or handles) placed into selfies or drawings.
- Spam, scams, advertising, or bulk or automated submissions.
- Any attempt to defeat, bypass, or interfere with moderation, App Attest, rate limits, or other safety or integrity measures.
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the App, extracting its source code, or copying, modifying, or creating derivative works of it, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
- Using the App to scrape, harvest, or collect other users’ content or data, or to build a competing or derivative dataset or service.
- Any use that violates any law or the rights of any person, or that interferes with or disrupts the App or its infrastructure.
We may update the Community Guidelines from time to time. Your continued use of the App means you accept the current Guidelines.
8. Moderation, Reporting, and Blocking
To keep the public experience safe, the App includes safety tools, and you agree to their operation:
- Automated screening. An automated classifier screens content for adult or otherwise disallowed material before it is shown publicly. Content may be blocked, delayed, or removed by this screening.
- Reporting. You can report content you believe violates these Terms or the Guidelines. Reports are reviewed by a human operator, who may take action.
- Blocking. You can block another author so their content is hidden from you.
We reserve the right, but do not assume the obligation, to review, screen, refuse, remove, restrict, or take down any content, and to limit or terminate access, at any time and for any reason, including content that we believe violates these Terms, the Guidelines, or the law, or that may harm users, third parties, Grain Studios, or the App. We may take these actions with or without notice. Automated screening is not perfect and will not catch everything; human review is limited. You use the App and view user content with that understanding.
We are not responsible for content submitted by users. Opinions and content expressed by users are theirs, not ours.
9. Copyright and Intellectual Property Complaints
If you believe content in the App infringes your copyright or other intellectual property right, contact us at support@grainlabs.io with enough detail to identify the content and your right. We may remove content and, where appropriate, restrict the responsible user in accordance with applicable law.
10. Fees
The App is currently provided without charge. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will present the applicable terms and pricing before you incur any charge, and any purchases will be processed through Apple under Apple’s terms.
11. Changes to the App
We are still building and improving the App. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or anyone else for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App or any part of it.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grain Studios and its suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that: the App will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free; defects will be corrected; the App or the servers that make it available are free of harmful components; moderation will identify or remove all objectionable content; or any content is accurate, appropriate, or reliable. You are responsible for your interactions with other users and with content you view.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Grain Studios AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App or any content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This includes, without limitation, damages arising from: any content you submit or view; the public display of your selfie, likeness, or drawings; the conduct of other users; unauthorized access to or alteration of your content; or the loss of anonymous access to your content.
IN NO EVENT WILL Grain Studios’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID Grain Studios, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS ($20).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
14. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grain Studios and its officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) Your Content; (b) your use or misuse of the App; (c) your violation of these Terms or the Community Guidelines; (d) your violation of any law or any right of any person, including any right of privacy, publicity, or intellectual property; or (e) any claim that a photo or likeness you submitted was shared without the consent of an identifiable person shown in it. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.
15. Termination and Account Deletion
Your right to delete. You can delete your anonymous account and data at any time from within the App using “Delete my account & data.” This removes the anonymous account and deletes your server-side content. Drawings saved to your device’s local gallery are not affected and remain under your control until you delete them yourself. Deletion of your account and server-side content is intended to be permanent and, once complete, is generally irreversible. As noted in Section 5.2, we may retain limited backup or archival copies for a reasonable period, and we cannot retrieve copies that others made or shared while your content was public.
Our right to terminate. We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or the Guidelines, to protect users or the App, or as required by law.
Effect of termination. On termination, the license in Section 3 ends and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 5 (as to licenses that survive), 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 — survive termination.
16. Apple-Specific Terms
You and Grain Studios acknowledge and agree that these Terms are between you and Grain Studios only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and that Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent these Terms differ from the Apple Standard EULA, the following apply:
- Maintenance and support. Grain Studios, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
- Warranty. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Grain Studios’s responsibility.
- Product claims. Grain Studios, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar law.
- Intellectual property claims. Grain Studios, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- Contact. Any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to support@grainlabs.io.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any mandatory rights you have under the law of your country of residence, you agree that the courts located in the State of Florida, USA will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not otherwise resolved, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer protection rights that you are entitled to under mandatory law in your place of residence and that cannot be waived by contract.
18. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and Grain Studios regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, for example in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- No agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
- Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as within the App or by updating the effective date and posting the current version at https://strangelydrawn.grainlabs.io/terms. Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App and delete your account.
