Terms

1. Who we are and when these terms apply

vibe-code.nl is an initiative of Scrum Facilitators, Computerweg 37, Amersfoort, the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 81416385. These terms apply to your account, building and publishing apps, buying credits and taking online courses on vibe-code.nl.

For in-person courses, the arrangements you receive when you sign up apply.

2. Your account

• You need an account to build apps. You must be at least 16 years old to have one.
• Provide a correct email address and keep your password secret. You are responsible for what happens with your account.
• One account per person. Creating multiple accounts to get free credits more often is not allowed.

3. Building with AI

You describe what you want and the AI builds it. The AI does its best, but it also makes mistakes: an app may work differently from what you intended, contain errors or show incorrect information. So check your app yourself before you use or share it, especially when data, money or safety are involved.

For your app, the AI looks up facts and free-to-use photos on the internet. Check that the information is correct and that you are allowed to use the photos for the purpose you use them for.

If you give the address of an existing website, the AI looks at that website in order to rebuild it: the pages, text, colours, fonts, logo and photos. Only do this with your own website or with the owner's permission. You are responsible for making sure you are allowed to use that content. Rebuilding a website to impersonate someone else is prohibited.

4. Credits

• Every instruction to the AI costs credits, depending on how much work it is. Before you start, you can see your credit balance; for each instruction, you can see what it cost.
• New accounts receive free credits once. We may change how many.
• You get credits through your subscription (new ones every month) or you can buy extra credits separately. Subscription credits are valid for one month and expire at the end of that month if you don't use them. Separately purchased credits and welcome credits do not expire; your subscription credits are used first.
• Prices are in euros, including VAT. You pay via Stripe.
• Credits cannot be exchanged for money, cannot be transferred to anyone else and belong to your account.
• Right of withdrawal: separately purchased credits are digital content that you can use immediately after payment. At checkout, we ask for your consent to deliver immediately and you confirm that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. If you have not used any of your purchased credits and still want a refund, contact us within 14 days; we will then see what is possible.
• If an instruction fails because of a fault on our side, let us know; we will then look at whether you get the credits back.

5. Inviting others

• You can invite others with your own invitation link. Anyone who signs up via your link receives 100 extra credits. If that person then takes out a subscription or buys credits for the first time, you both receive 500 credits.
• The reward applies once per new user, and for a maximum of 20 invitations per 30 days. Inviting yourself or creating accounts to get credits is not allowed; if you do, the rewards are forfeited.
• We may change or stop the reward. Rewards already paid out remain yours.

6. Your apps and who owns them

• The apps you build are yours, to the extent that any rights exist in them. You can always download the code and keep using it elsewhere.
• To provide the service, we may store your app, run it, publish it if you choose to, and show a screenshot of it in your overview.
• If you put an app in the gallery, anyone may view it and make their own copy of it to build on. You can always remove an app from the gallery again; copies that have already been made will continue to exist.
• You are responsible for what is in your app and what you do with it, including the data your app collects from others.

7. Publishing

• Published apps are available at an address such as yourapp.vibe-code.studio. Anyone with the link can view them.
• We keep published apps online as well as we can, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability.
• We may take apps that break the acceptable use rules offline, remove them from the gallery or block them without prior notice.

8. Usage limits for published apps

• So that one very busy app does not cause unexpected costs, every plan includes a limit per published app: a maximum number of page views per day and a maximum amount of hosting usage per month. You can see how close your app is to that limit in your app's publish menu.
• If your app gets close to the hosting usage limit in a month, we will send you an email.
• If your app goes over a limit, we pause it and let you know by email. If there were too many visits in a day, it comes back online automatically the next day; if there was too much hosting usage, at the start of the following month. With a larger plan, you can publish it again straight away. Your app and your work are kept.
• We may change the limits, for all apps or, by agreement, for a single app.

9. Subscriptions, apps online and your own domain

• With the free plan, one app can be online, with a small "Made with vibe-code.nl" notice. With a subscription (Starter, Pro or Business), you receive credits every month, more apps can be online and you can connect your own domain name. What each plan includes and what it costs is shown on the pricing page.
• A subscription runs monthly and is renewed automatically every month. You can cancel whenever you want via your subscription page; the subscription then ends at the end of the paid period. You do not get a refund for the current period.
• If you switch to a larger plan, it takes effect immediately: you pay the difference for the rest of the period and receive the extra credits. A smaller plan also takes effect immediately; Stripe offsets any amount you overpaid against your next payment.
• When you sign up, we ask for your consent to start immediately. This means you lose your right of withdrawal for the first period.
• You buy and manage your domain name yourself with a provider of your choice. We connect it to your app as long as your plan allows; you pay the costs of the domain name itself to that provider.
• If your subscription ends, or you switch to a smaller plan, we keep the apps and domain names that the new plan allows online, starting with the apps you worked on most recently. We pause or disconnect the rest until you take a larger plan again. Unused subscription credits expire.
• We may change subscription prices. We will let you know at least 30 days in advance; you can always cancel at that point.

10. Acceptable use

When building and publishing, you must follow the acceptable use rules. If you break them, we may block your app or account. In that case, you will not get your credits back.

11. Online courses

• After payment, you get access to the course in your account. The lessons are for your own use; sharing or reselling them is not allowed.
• If you want to cancel an online course, contact us within 14 days of purchase. If you have already completed most of the course, your right of withdrawal may have lapsed.

12. Liability

We do our best to make vibe-code.nl work well and securely. We are not liable for damage caused by errors in apps built by the AI, by the use of your apps, or by the service being temporarily unavailable, except in the case of intent or gross negligence on our part.

If we are nevertheless liable, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before. This does not limit the rights you have as a consumer under the law.

13. Changes and cancellation

• We may change the service and these terms. For important changes, we will let you know at least 30 days in advance.
• You can always delete your account yourself under Your account. Your subscription then ends immediately, without a refund for the current period. First download the code of the apps you want to keep; published apps will also go offline. Questions? Use the contact form.

14. Complaints and governing law

If you have a complaint, let us know via the contact form. We respond within 14 days. These terms are governed by Dutch law.
