Terms of Service

§ 1 Provider, scope, definitions

The provider and contracting party is DP – Media Consulting Cologne UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Santo-Tirso-Ring 69, 64823 Groß-Umstadt, Germany, represented by its Managing Director Philip Jannik Deprosse (“Provider”, “we”). Contact: hello@vibedeploy.dev.

These Terms apply to all contracts for the use of the service offered under the “VibeDeploy” brand (the “Service”). “User” is any natural or legal person who uses the Service. “Consumer” means a user within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB); “Entrepreneur” a user within the meaning of § 14 BGB. “App” means an application or website published by the user via the Service. Conflicting or deviating terms of the user do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree to them in writing.

§ 2 Subject matter / description of services

The Service enables users to publish (“deploy”), host and operate applications built with AI tools (“vibe-coded apps”). For this purpose we provide, in particular: a web platform (dashboard), an MCP server and a command-line interface (CLI); building and serving the app on servers in the European Union (Hetzner, Germany); a subdomain (scheme <name>.by.vibedeploy.dev) and — depending on the plan — a custom domain, a managed database, backups, an automated security scan before go-live, and supporting features for generating legal texts.

The actual scope of services depends on the plan chosen by the user and the description of services published on the website. We continuously develop the Service and may change, add to or discontinue individual features, provided this is reasonable for the user and the core contractual scope is not materially restricted.

§ 3 Conclusion of contract, registration and claiming

The Service can also be used without prior registration (anonymous one-shot deploy). An app created in this mode is initially unclaimed and available only for a limited time (see § 11). By confirming a login link sent to your email address, you can assign the app to an account (“claim”) and thereby establish a usage relationship. The contract is concluded upon registration or claim and acceptance of these Terms. For paid plans, the contract is concluded upon selecting the plan, confirming the obligation to pay, and successfully completing the payment. You warrant that the information you provide is accurate and you keep it up to date.

§ 4 Plans, prices and payment

The Service is offered in various plans (including a free plan and paid plans). The applicable plans, scope of services and prices result from the price overview published on the website at the time the contract is concluded. Prices are stated plus any statutory VAT, where applicable.

Paid plans are concluded as a subscription with the stated billing period (e.g. monthly) and are charged in advance. Payment is handled by our payment service provider Stripe; its terms apply in addition. If the user is in default of payment, we are entitled to suspend access to the paid services after prior notice.

We may adjust prices for future billing periods. We will notify changes in text form at least six weeks before they take effect. If the user does not object within six weeks or continues to use the Service after the change takes effect, the adjustment is deemed accepted; otherwise the contract ends when the change takes effect. We will draw separate attention to the right to object and its consequences in the notice.

§ 5 Free plan

Under the free plan we provide the Service free of charge and to a limited extent (including a limited number of apps, limited traffic and a time limit per the description of services). Apps on the free plan and unclaimed apps may carry a notice (“Powered by VibeDeploy”). There is no entitlement to any particular availability for the free plan; we may change or discontinue it at any time with reasonable notice.

§ 6 Acceptable use

The user undertakes not to misuse the Service. In particular, it is prohibited to:

• publish or distribute unlawful, criminal, youth-endangering content, or content infringing personal or copyright rights;
• distribute malware, phishing pages, fraudulent offers, “crypto scams” or comparable abusive content;
• use the Service for spam or the mass, automated sending of unsolicited messages;
• circumvent or interfere with the Service’s security measures — in particular the security scan and the protection and limiting mechanisms (rate limits, caps);
• place excessive load on the infrastructure in a way that impairs operation for other users;
• otherwise infringe the rights of third parties or applicable law.

§ 7 User responsibility for their app

The user is solely responsible for the apps they publish, their content and functions, and for compliance with the legal obligations applicable to them. If the user publishes a commercial or publicly accessible app, the user must in particular provide their app’s own legal notice (imprint), its own privacy policy and, where required, a cookie notice. Helper features we provide for generating legal texts do not release the user from this responsibility and do not constitute legal advice.

The user indemnifies us against third-party claims asserted against us due to a legal violation attributable to the user through their app or its content, including reasonable costs of legal defense, to the extent the user is responsible for the violation.

§ 8 Security scan, suspension and removal

Before publication we run an automated security scan. If serious security defects are detected (e.g. access keys exposed in client code), publication may be blocked until the defect is remedied. We are entitled to temporarily suspend or remove apps or content where there is reasonable suspicion of a breach of § 6 or of applicable law, or where we are legally required to do so. In cases of imminent danger or manifest illegality, this may occur without prior notice; we will inform the user without undue delay as far as legally possible.

§ 9 Availability and maintenance

We endeavor to ensure high availability of the Service but, outside expressly agreed service levels, owe no particular availability. Necessary maintenance, security and update work may lead to temporary restrictions; we will announce plannable work where possible.

§ 10 Rights to content and software

All rights to the content you upload and to your app remain with you or the respective rights holders. You grant us the non-exclusive right, required to provide the Service and limited to hosting, to store, reproduce, technically process (e.g. build) and make your content available over the internet. The rights to the Service itself, our software, trademarks and design remain with us or our licensors.

§ 11 Term, termination and deletion

Contracts for free services run for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at any time. Paid subscriptions run for the chosen billing period and may be terminated by the user at any time effective at the end of the current period; without termination they renew for the respective period. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected for both parties; good cause exists for us in particular in the event of a serious or repeated breach of § 6.

Apps are subject to the retention and time-limit rules stated in the description of services. Unclaimed apps are automatically removed after a short time; apps on the free plan are time-limited. After an app is deleted, we retain the data for a short internal recovery period and then delete it permanently. It is the user’s responsibility to create their own backups of their content in good time.

§ 12 Right of withdrawal for consumers

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts.

§ 13 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and within the scope of a guarantee given by us. In the case of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfillment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the user may regularly rely), and limited in amount to the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise liability is excluded.

For the free plan provided free of charge, we are liable only by the standards of §§ 521, 599 BGB (intent and gross negligence), as far as legally permissible. For loss of data we are liable only to the extent that damage would also have occurred with proper and regular data backups by the user. The above limitations also apply in favor of our vicarious agents.

§ 14 Data protection and data processing

Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy. Insofar as the user processes personal data of third parties with their app and we process such data on the user’s behalf, our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) applies in addition and becomes part of the contract.

§ 15 Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms with effect for the future where this is necessary for good reason (e.g. changes in law, supreme court rulings, changed services) and does not unreasonably disadvantage the user. We will notify changes in text form at least six weeks before they take effect. If the user does not object within six weeks, the changes are deemed accepted; we will point this out separately. In the event of an objection, both parties are entitled to terminate.

§ 16 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; for consumers, mandatory protective provisions of their state of residence remain unaffected. If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is our registered office.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
