Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-07-14

In plain words: your work is yours, we host it at your direction, you can export everything and leave whenever you like, and we ask you to use the service lawfully. The legal version of that follows.

1. Who we are, and what this is

1BURO ("we", "us", "the service") is a portfolio, inventory and collaboration tool for independent artists and organisers, operated from 1buro.app. These terms are the agreement between you and the operator of 1BURO whenever you create an account or use the service. If you use 1BURO on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you may bind that organisation to these terms.

2. Your account

You need an account for everything beyond the public pages. Keep your login details confidential, you are responsible for activity under your account. Give us accurate contact information so we can reach you about your account. You can add team members at no charge; you are responsible for the people you invite and the access you give them. You must be at least 16 years old to hold an account.

3. Your content stays yours

Everything you add, artworks, images, texts, CVs, exhibition records, private notes, remains yours. You keep all intellectual-property rights. You give us only the limited, non-exclusive licence we technically need to operate the service: to store your content, back it up, and display it where you choose to publish it (your public site, your portfolios, your shares). That licence ends for content you delete, except for copies in routine backups, which age out. We never claim ownership, never sell your content, and never use it to train AI models.

You control visibility. Content is private by default until you publish or share it, and the sharing and permission mechanics described in the product are the whole of what we do with it.

4. Your responsibilities

Use the service lawfully. Don't upload content that infringes someone else's rights, and make sure you have the rights to everything you publish through 1BURO. If you store information about other people, collectors, contacts, subscribers, you are responsible for having a lawful basis to hold it. Don't probe, overload, or interfere with the service, other accounts, or the infrastructure it runs on.

5. Pricing

Adding people to your account is free, always, we never charge per seat. Parts of the service are free today. If and when paid components are introduced (such as metered storage or AI usage), prices will be published clearly and nothing will be charged to you without your explicit agreement first.

6. AI features

Some features can draft or extract text for you using a third-party AI provider (Anthropic). They run only when you invoke them, on the content you point them at, and the output is a suggestion you review, see the Privacy Policy for the data details. AI output can be wrong; you are responsible for what you publish.

7. Availability, changes, and leaving

We work to keep the service reliable, but it is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may improve or change the service over time. What never changes: you can export your complete account as a portable archive at any time, and you can delete your account, which removes your data from the service. If we ever discontinue the service, we will give you reasonable advance notice and time to export.

8. Suspension and termination

You can stop using 1BURO and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaches these terms, or where the law requires us to, where reasonable, we will warn you first and give you the chance to export.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded (including liability for intent or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury). Beyond that, we are liable only for damage that is a foreseeable result of a breach of these terms, and our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event, or €50. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, but note this does not limit your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. For material changes we will give you notice (on this page and, where appropriate, in the app or by email) before they take effect. If you continue using the service after a change takes effect, the updated terms apply; if you don't agree with a change, export your data and close your account.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the country in which the operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.
