</p>

35

36

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">2. Eligibility</h2>

37

<p>

38

You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract under the law of your

39

jurisdiction. If you create an account for a company, you represent that you have authority

40

to bind that company to these Terms.

41

</p>

42

43

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">3. Account</h2>

44

45

<li>

46

You are responsible for your credentials and for access granted to teammates (API keys,

47

machine clients, magic links, OAuth).

48

</li>

49

<li>

50

You must keep a working email address on the account. We may suspend the account if mail

51

repeatedly bounces and we cannot reach you about security or billing.

52

</li>

53

<li>

54

Do not share a single human login across people. Invite teammates or use machine clients

55

(M2M) for servers and jobs.

56

</li>

57

</ul>

58

59

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">4. The Service</h2>

60

<p>

61

The Service includes, as enabled for your project: managed versioned Postgres (Doltgres),

62

Briven Auth (end-user login, sessions, MFA, roles, machine clients), object storage,

63

deployable functions, realtime where offered, Studio, and the operator dashboard at

64

briven.tech. Feature availability depends on your plan and project configuration.

65

</p>

66

67

Open-source components of Briven may be licensed under AGPL-3.0 (engine) and MIT (CLI /

68

SDKs) as stated in the public repository. These Terms apply to the <strong>hosted</strong>{' '}

69

Service only.

70

</p>

71

72

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">5. Acceptable use</h2>

73

<p>You may not use the Service to:</p>

74

75

<li>store, transmit, or generate content that is illegal under EU or Belgian law;</li>

76

<li>send unsolicited bulk email, spam, or abusive outbound traffic;</li>

77

<li>

78

host material that infringes copyright, trademark, or other third-party intellectual

79

property;

80

</li>

81

<li>

82

host CSAM, content that sexualises minors, or non-consensual intimate imagery — accounts

83

hosting such material will be terminated immediately and reported to the appropriate

84

authority;

85

</li>

86

<li>

87

probe, scan, or attempt to compromise other tenants, the host infrastructure, or any

88

system you do not own;

89

</li>

90

<li>

91

run cryptocurrency mining, distributed computation for hire, or denial-of-service tools;

92

</li>

93

<li>

94

resell the Service or run a separate commercial product on a free tier in a way that

95

circumvents paid plans when those plans apply to your usage.

96

</li>

97

</ul>

98

99

We may remove offending content and suspend the responsible account without notice when the

100

issue is severe (CSAM, active outbound attack, third-party legal demand). For other

101

breaches we will give reasonable notice and a chance to cure where practical.

102

</p>

103

104

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">6. Your content</h2>

105

<p>

106

Your data is yours: schemas, rows, functions, files, Auth users for your apps, and project

107

configuration. You keep all rights. You grant us only the limited licence needed to host

108

and operate the Service (store, back up, process, and transmit content to clients you

109

authorize).

110

</p>

111

112

You can export project assets via the dashboard and CLI. We will not trap your data in a

113

proprietary format we alone can read.

114

</p>

115

116

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">7. Fees and plans</h2>

117

<p>

118

Current plans and prices are published at{' '}

119

120

briven.tech/pricing

121

</a>

122

. Free or included usage (if any) is described there and in your dashboard. Paid features

123

are billed according to the plan you select.

124

</p>

125

126

Material price or plan changes will be announced on the site and, where we have a billing

127

email, notified at least 30 days before they affect you. Taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) may

128

be added where the Operator is required to collect them. Card and bank details are handled

129

by our payment subprocessor — see{' '}

134

</p>

135

136

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">8. Availability and changes</h2>

137

<p>

138

The Service is offered for production use. We aim for continuous availability and maintain

139

backups and operational practices described on the{' '}

140

141

Trust page

142

</a>

143

. Unless you have a separate written SLA with flndrn Limited, the Service is provided

144

without a contractual uptime percentage guarantee.

145

</p>

146

147

We may improve, change, or retire features. Material removals that break documented

148

behaviour will be announced with reasonable notice when possible. Emergency security

149

changes may ship immediately.

150

</p>

151

152

153

9. Self-hosting open source

154

</h2>

155

<p>

156

These Terms apply only to the hosted Service. If you run Briven software yourself from

157

open-source releases, the applicable open-source licences apply; the Operator does not

158

provide warranty or support for your self-hosted deployment under these Terms.

159

</p>

160

161

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">10. Intellectual property</h2>

162

<p>

163

The Briven name, logo, brand, and the design of briven.tech remain the Operator’s

164

property. Open-source code is licensed as stated in the repository. Nothing here transfers

165

brand ownership to you.

166

</p>

167

168

169

11. Suspension and termination

170

</h2>

171

172

<li>

173

You may close your account from Settings. Deletion of project data follows the retention

174

windows described in the Privacy Policy and dashboard; export before you delete if you

175

need a copy.

176

</li>

177

<li>

178

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate Section 5, are in material breach of

179

these Terms, or are subject to a binding legal demand. Where possible we give notice and

180

an export window.

181

</li>

182

<li>

183

We may discontinue the hosted Service with at least 90 days’ notice if continuing

184

becomes commercially unviable; you may then self-host from open source where available.

185

</li>

186

</ul>

187

188

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">12. Disclaimers</h2>

189

<p>

190

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Service is provided “as

191

is” and “as available”. The Operator disclaims warranties of

192

merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where

193

mandatory law forbids that disclaimer. Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights

194

under EU law.

195

</p>

196

197

198

13. Limitation of liability

199

</h2>

200

<p>

201

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Operator’s total liability for

202

claims arising out of these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) fees you

203

paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) €100. The Operator is not

204

liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost

205

profits or lost data where recovery is reasonably available from your own backups. Nothing

206

limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded under

207

mandatory law.

208

</p>

209

210

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">14. Indemnification</h2>

211

<p>

212

You will indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from third-party claims arising from (a)

213

your content, (b) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation

214

of law. We will give prompt notice and reasonable cooperation; you control the defence

215

subject to our consent for settlements that admit our fault or bind us non-monetarily.

216

</p>

217

218

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">15. Changes to these Terms</h2>

219

<p>

220

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new

221

“last updated” date and, for material changes, emailed to the address on your

222

account when practical, at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the

223

effective date is acceptance. If you disagree, close your account before that date.

224

</p>

225

226

<h2 className="mt-10 font-mono text-lg text-[var(--color-text)]">16. Governing law</h2>

227

<p>

228

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably are

229

subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Antwerp, Belgium, without limiting

230

non-waivable consumer rights in your country. The English version controls if translations

231

conflict.
