Terms of use
Last updated: 16 August 2026
This is a convenience translation. The German version is the legally binding one.
1. Scope and provider
These terms govern your use of Vaelo at vaelo.site and app.vaelo.site. The provider is Fabio Burmann, Lothstraße 17, 80335 Munich, Germany (see legal notice). Vaelo is a private, non-commercial project.
2. What Vaelo is
Vaelo is a shared workspace for exactly two people who meet regularly one-to-one. It covers goals, a joint agenda, to-dos, mood check-ins and a history of your sessions.
3. Free of charge, no guarantee of availability
Use is free. There is no entitlement to availability, to particular features, or to continued operation. We may change, restrict or discontinue the service at any time. If we were to shut it down permanently, we will where possible notify registered users by email in good time so that content can be saved.
4. Access and minimum age
You sign in via a one-time link sent to your email address. You are responsible for protecting access to that mailbox — anyone who can read it can also sign in to Vaelo. Use is permitted from the age of 16.
5. The workspace belongs to both of you
A workspace has two seats, and both people can see everything in it — including mood check-ins. Please assume that anything you write will be read by the other person.
If either person deletes their account, the entire shared workspace is deleted — for the other person too. Their own login remains, but the content does not.
6. Your content
The content you enter stays yours. We claim no rights to it and do not use it for our own purposes — in particular not for advertising and not for training AI models. We process it solely in order to provide the service to you.
7. What is not allowed
- posting unlawful content or infringing the rights of others
- entering other people's personal data without their knowledge
- placing excessive automated load on the service or circumventing security measures
- attempting to access workspaces that are not yours
In the event of serious or repeated breaches we may suspend access. We will tell you when we do, unless something prevents us from doing so.
8. Not for confidential data
Vaelo is not end-to-end encrypted and is not designed for strictly confidential information. Please do not enter passwords, credentials, medical records, financial documents or comparably sensitive material. See the privacy policy for detail.
9. Backups
There is no entitlement to backups of your content or to its restoration after deletion. Deletion is permanent.
10. Ending your use
You can stop using Vaelo at any time and delete your account yourself in the app — no notice period and no reason required. Please note section 5 before you do.
11. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. For simple negligence we are liable only where a material contractual obligation has been breached (an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), and then limited to the damage typically foreseeable at the time of contract. As Vaelo is provided free of charge, liability is otherwise excluded. Statutory provisions on gifts and loans remain unaffected.
12. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms with effect for the future. We will notify registered users by email of material changes. If you do not agree to a change, you can delete your account.
13. Governing law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.
