Terms of Service

Last updated 10 September 2026

Incomplete: the operator is not identified. Romanian law (Legea 365/2002 art. 5) and the GDPR both require the person or company behind a service to be named here, with a registration number and a real address. Until src/lib/legal.ts is filled in, every field marked below is missing and this document protects nobody. Do not take real signups yet.

The rules for using veyl, written for a service based in Romania and offered across the EU. Written in plain language on purpose: terms nobody can read protect nobody, and under Legea 193/2000 a clause a consumer could not reasonably understand can be struck out anyway.

1.Who runs this service

veyl is a service that gives you a page at veyl.lol holding your links, and lets you decorate it.

Operator: [NOT YET PROVIDED: registered name]

Registration: [NOT YET PROVIDED: CUI and ONRC number]

VAT number: not registered for VAT.

Registered address: [NOT YET PROVIDED: registered address], Romania

Email: [NOT YET PROVIDED: contact email]

Reports about content or accounts: [NOT YET PROVIDED: abuse email]

Data protection requests: [NOT YET PROVIDED: privacy email]

Romanian law requires this information to be permanently available before you enter into any contract, which is why it sits at the top rather than the bottom.

2.Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not create one.

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us. Nothing said in a Discord server, a support message, or a social media post changes them.

This agreement is written in English. If it is ever translated, the English version is the one that governs, unless you are a consumer and the law of your own country requires otherwise.

3.Who may use it

You must be at least 16 years old to have an account. This is the age at which the GDPR allows a person to act for themselves in relation to an online service, and we do not operate a parental consent process, so accounts belonging to anyone younger will be closed when we find them.

You must be at least 18 to buy anything, because under Romanian law a person under 18 has limited capacity to enter into a contract.

You must not be barred from using this kind of service under the law that applies to you, and you must not be subject to EU sanctions.

4.Your account

You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, and for keeping your password to yourself. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it.

One person, one account, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Do not create accounts purely to hold usernames you do not intend to use. Automated or bulk registration is not allowed.

We may delete an account that never confirms its email address, so that usernames cannot be hoarded using addresses nobody owns. We will not do this without the confirmation email having genuinely been deliverable to you.

5.Usernames

Usernames are first come, first served. Claiming one gives you the right to use that page while your account exists. It does not transfer any ownership of the word itself, and it is not a trademark, a domain, or property you can sell on.

If you change your username, or delete your account, the old name is held for 30 days before anybody else can take it. That delay exists so that nobody can grab your name the moment you release it and pretend to be you.

Some usernames are held back and are not available to claim: names that are reserved for the service itself, names that would let somebody impersonate our staff or support, and a list of names offered for sale.

We may reclaim a username that impersonates a real person or organisation, infringes a trademark, or is being used to deceive people. Where we do, we will tell the holder why, and they may reply to us at the address below. We will not reclaim a name simply because somebody else wants it or has offered money for it.

6.What you may not publish

These rules apply to everything on your page: your display name, your bio, your links, your uploads, and the destinations your links point at.

Sexual content involving minors, in any form. There is no warning, no appeal, and no exception. The account is removed and reported to the authorities.

Content that is a criminal offence under Romanian or EU law. This includes incitement to violence or hatred, terrorist content, and material that denies or glorifies genocide.

Harassment of a specific person, threats, doxxing, or publishing someone's private information without their consent.

Malware, phishing pages, cryptocurrency drainers, or links that lie about where they lead. Link shorteners and redirects are allowed, but the destination is still your responsibility.

Impersonating another person, brand or organisation in a way designed to mislead. Parody and fan pages are fine when it is obvious that is what they are.

Content you do not have the rights to use. This applies especially to the audio track: most commercial music cannot be uploaded and played on a public page, and uploading it is your risk, not ours.

Sexual content involving adults is not permitted on public profile pages. This is stricter than the law requires. The reason is practical rather than moral: payment processors refuse to serve platforms carrying adult material, and losing payments would end the service. Deciding this before launch is much cheaper than after.

We do not monitor pages proactively and we are not required to. We act on what is reported to us, and on what we happen to notice.

7.Reporting a page, and what we do about it

Anyone can report content, whether or not they have an account. Send it to [NOT YET PROVIDED: abuse email] with the address of the page and what is wrong with it. If you are reporting something illegal rather than merely against our rules, say which law you believe it breaks, so we can act on the right basis.

You will get an acknowledgement, and a decision. We aim to look at reports within 72 hours, and to deal with anything involving a credible risk to a person's safety the same day.

If we remove content, restrict a page, or suspend an account, we tell the account holder what we did, why, whether the decision came from a report or from our own checks, and whether it was made by a person or automatically. Currently every such decision is made by a person.

If you think a decision about your account was wrong, reply to that message within 30 days and a human will look at it again. If you are still unhappy, you keep every right described in the "Disputes" section below, and you may also complain to the authorities there. Using our appeal first is not a condition of doing so.

Reports that are knowingly false or filed in bulk to harass someone will be ignored, and repeat offenders will be blocked from reporting.

8.Copyright complaints

If something on veyl infringes your copyright, write to [NOT YET PROVIDED: abuse email] with: enough detail to identify the work, the exact page and file, your contact details, and a statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

We remove infringing material once we have actual knowledge of it. Under Legea 365/2002 and the Digital Services Act, acting promptly on notice is precisely what keeps a hosting service from becoming liable for what its users upload, so we take this seriously and act quickly.

The person who uploaded it will be told, and may respond. Accounts that repeatedly infringe are closed.

9.Your content stays yours

You keep every right you already had in what you upload. We claim no ownership.

You give us permission to store your content, to process it technically (resizing an image, converting a file, generating a preview image for your page when it is shared), and to display it on your page. That permission covers nothing else. We do not use your content to advertise, we do not license it to anybody, and we do not use it to train anything.

That permission lasts only as long as the content is on the service, and ends when you delete it or your account, apart from the short delay it takes for cached copies to fall out of the delivery network.

You confirm that you have the right to use whatever you upload.

There are file size and file type limits, and we may change them. We will not delete existing files because of a limit introduced afterwards.

10.Premium (not yet on sale)

Premium is advertised on the home page but is not currently on sale. There is no checkout, and no payment can be taken.

Where premium is active on an account today, it was granted directly by us. Nobody has paid for it.

The two sections that follow describe what will apply once payments open. They are published now so that the rules are visible in advance rather than appearing on the day money starts changing hands.

11.Your right to cancel within 14 days

As a consumer buying at a distance you have 14 days to withdraw from the purchase, without giving any reason and without penalty. This is OUG 34/2014, which implements the EU Consumer Rights Directive, and it applies whatever else this document says.

To use it, write to [NOT YET PROVIDED: contact email] within 14 days of your purchase and say that you are withdrawing. Any clear statement is enough. We will refund you in full, using the same payment method, within 14 days of being told.

There is one exception, and it is important that you understand it before you buy. Premium is digital content delivered immediately. If you ask us to unlock it straight away, and you confirm at the same time that you understand this means losing your right to withdraw, then that right ends as soon as we unlock it. This is art. 16 lit. m) of the same law.

That confirmation is asked for explicitly at the moment of purchase, as two things you actively agree to. It is never buried in these terms or assumed from your silence, because a waiver collected that way is not valid and we would simply owe you the refund anyway.

If you would rather keep your cancellation right, you can say so and wait out the 14 days before we unlock it.

Outside of that, we will still consider a refund if you are unhappy. Ask.

12.If what you bought does not work

You are entitled to receive digital content that matches how it was described and works as it should. That right comes from OUG 141/2021 and lasts well beyond the 14 day cancellation window described above. The two are separate things and people often confuse them.

If a premium feature is broken or missing, tell us and we will fix it. If we cannot fix it within a reasonable time, you are entitled to a reduction in price or to your money back.

This applies to faults that were present when you bought, and to features that stop working later while you still have the account.

13.Availability, and what we are responsible for

We do not promise the service will always be available. It may be interrupted for maintenance, by a failure at one of our suppliers, or by something outside our control.

We may change or remove features. Where a change would break pages that already exist, we will give notice first and try to migrate them.

Keep your own copy of anything you would not want to lose. We take backups for our own recovery, but they are not a service we offer you, and we do not undertake to restore a page you deleted.

We are responsible to you for loss we cause by breaking this agreement or by failing to take reasonable care. We do not limit our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Any attempt to do so would be void under Legea 193/2000 in any case.

We are not responsible for what other users publish, for the content of pages your links point to, or for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable.

Where the service is paid for, and where the law permits a limit, our total responsibility for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose. If you have not paid us anything, we still owe you the duties above; there is simply no fee to measure a cap against.

14.Ending the agreement

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. It happens immediately and cannot be undone.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules, or where we are required to by law or by a court. Except where the breach is serious enough to need immediate action, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right.

If we close the service down entirely, we will give at least 30 days notice so that you can save your content and send people somewhere else.

The sections on your content, on responsibility, and on disputes continue to apply after the agreement ends.

15.Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will email you and post a notice on the site at least 30 days before it takes effect.

If you do not agree with a change, you can delete your account before it starts. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept it. We will not treat silence as agreement to a change we never told you about.

Corrections that do not change your rights, such as fixing a typo or a broken link, take effect straight away.

16.Disputes

Romanian law governs this agreement. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the EU, that choice cannot take away the protections given to you by the law of your own country, and it does not attempt to.

If something goes wrong, please write to us first. Most things are settled in an email.

If you are a consumer, you may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live, and we may only sue you in the courts of the country where you live. That is Regulation 1215/2012 and we have no ability to change it.

You may also complain to the Romanian consumer protection authority, ANPC (anpc.ro), or use an approved out of court dispute resolution body. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform closed in 2025 and no longer exists, so any link you find pointing to it, on any site, is out of date.

If you are not a consumer, the courts of Romania have jurisdiction.
