Terms of Service

Effective date: 23 July 2026

Last updated: 23 July 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Cevel, a booking and payments platform available at cevel.app.

Cevel is operated by:

Noshiro OÜ
Estonian registry code: 16594740
Harju maakond, Tallinn, Kesklinna linnaosa, P. Süda tn 4-150, 10119, Estonia
Email: hello@cevel.app

By creating an account or using Cevel, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Definitions

• Cevel, we, us, our — Noshiro OÜ.
• Creator — a person or organisation with a Cevel account who publishes classes and takes bookings.
• Participant — a person who books a place on a class through a Creator's public booking page.
• Class — any event, class, workshop, session or similar offering published by a Creator through Cevel.
• Cevel Pro — the paid subscription plan.

3. Who can use Cevel

To create a Creator account you must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter a contract. If you create an account on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.

Participants do not need an account to book a class.

4. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity that takes place under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@cevel.app if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

You must give accurate account information and keep it up to date. You may not share your account, sell it, or let someone else use it.

5. What Cevel does

Cevel gives Creators tools to publish classes, share a public booking page, take bookings, manage participant lists and optionally collect payments online.

Cevel is a tool, not a party to your classes. When a Participant books a class, the agreement to attend and pay for that class is between the Participant and the Creator. Cevel is not the organiser, provider, or seller of any class, and is not responsible for whether a class takes place, its quality, safety, or content.

6. Cevel Pro subscription

6.1 Free trial

New Creator accounts include a 14-day free trial of Cevel Pro. No payment details are required to start the trial. When the trial ends, Pro features become unavailable until you subscribe. Your existing classes and participant records remain accessible.

6.2 Price and billing

Cevel Pro costs €14.99 per month, billed monthly in advance. Prices include or exclude VAT as indicated at checkout, depending on your location and tax status.

Payment is taken through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise recurring monthly charges to your chosen payment method until you cancel.

6.3 Cancellation

You can cancel at any time from your subscription page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep access to Pro features until then. We do not automatically refund unused portions of a billing period.

6.4 Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. The 14-day free trial exists so you can evaluate Cevel before paying anything.

This does not affect any statutory right of withdrawal you may have as a consumer under EU or Estonian law. If you are a consumer and believe you are entitled to withdraw from the contract, contact hello@cevel.app.

6.5 Price changes

We may change the subscription price. We will give at least 30 days' notice by email before a change takes effect for you. If you do not accept the new price, you can cancel before it applies.

7. Taking payments from Participants

7.1 How it works

Creators can collect payment for a class in two ways:

• Directly — the Creator arranges payment with the Participant themselves (cash, bank transfer, or any method they choose). Cevel records only whether the Creator has marked a booking as paid.
• Online through Cevel — the Participant pays by card or Apple Pay at the time of booking, through Stripe. The Creator must first complete Stripe's onboarding to receive payouts.

7.2 Our fee

Cevel currently charges no platform fee on payments collected from Participants. Stripe's own transaction fees apply and are deducted by Stripe.

We may introduce a platform fee in the future. If we do, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email before it applies to you.

7.3 Stripe

Online payments and payouts are provided by Stripe. To take online payments you must accept Stripe's terms and complete their identity and bank verification. Stripe determines whether to approve your account, sets payout timing, and may hold or reverse funds in line with its own terms and applicable law. We do not control these decisions.

Money paid by a Participant for your class goes to your connected Stripe account. Cevel does not hold your funds.

7.4 Your responsibilities as a Creator

You are solely responsible for:

• Tax. Declaring and paying any income tax, VAT, social contributions or other taxes owed on money you earn through Cevel, in your own jurisdiction. Cevel does not withhold tax and does not provide tax advice.
• Legal status. Ensuring you are permitted to run your classes and take payment for them, including any licences, insurance, permits or qualifications required.
• Your relationship with Participants. Setting your own cancellation and refund policy, communicating it clearly, honouring bookings you accept, and resolving any dispute with a Participant directly.
• Refunds to Participants. Cevel does not process refunds to Participants. If you need to refund someone, arrange it directly or through your Stripe dashboard.
• Accurate information. Making sure your class listings — date, time, location, price and description — are correct and not misleading.

8. Participant data

Participants provide personal information when booking your class. You must:

• Use that information only to run and communicate about the class booked
• Not sell, rent or transfer it to any third party
• Not add Participants to marketing lists without their consent
• Comply with the GDPR and any other applicable data protection law
• Delete or stop using the data when you no longer have a lawful reason to hold it

Noshiro OÜ is the data controller for personal data processed through Cevel, as set out in our Privacy Policy. Where you use Participant data for your own purposes outside Cevel, you do so as an independent controller and are responsible for your own compliance.

9. Acceptable use

You may not use Cevel to:

• Break any law, or promote or facilitate illegal activity
• Publish content that is fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or infringes anyone's rights
• Sell anything unlawful, or anything you are not permitted to sell
• Impersonate another person or organisation
• Harass, threaten or endanger anyone
• Send unsolicited bulk or marketing messages through Cevel
• Circumvent our access controls, probe our systems, or interfere with the service
• Scrape, harvest or bulk-extract data from Cevel
• Resell or white-label Cevel without our written permission

We may remove content or suspend accounts that breach this section.

10. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload — class descriptions, images and other material ("Your Content").

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display Your Content, solely to operate and provide Cevel. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except where we must retain a copy to meet a legal obligation.

You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, including any images featuring identifiable people.

11. Our content

Cevel's software, design, branding and name are owned by Noshiro OÜ and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms do not transfer any of those rights to you. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or create derivative works from the service.

12. Availability

We aim to keep Cevel available and working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. We may need to suspend access for maintenance, updates, security or reasons outside our control.

Cevel is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and merchantability.

13. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Statutory consumer rights are not affected.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost bookings, lost data or loss of goodwill.
• We are not liable for anything arising from a class itself, including cancellation, non-delivery, injury, or a dispute between a Creator and a Participant.
• We are not liable for the acts or omissions of Stripe or any other third-party provider.
• Our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the total subscription fees you paid us in that period.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Noshiro OÜ against any claim, loss, damage or cost (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of Cevel, your classes, Your Content, your handling of Participant data, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.

15. Suspension and termination

By you. You may stop using Cevel at any time. To close your account and have your data deleted, email hello@cevel.app.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, if your use creates legal or security risk, if payment fails repeatedly, or if we are required to do so by law. Where reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.

If your account is terminated, your published class pages stop being publicly available. Where possible, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to export your participant data first.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 10, 11, 13, 14 and 17 — continue to apply.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date and notify Creators by email at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use Cevel after that means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, cancel your subscription and stop using the service.

17. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Cevel will be settled by the courts of Estonia, with Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) as the court of first instance.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings there. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

18. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, form the whole agreement between you and Noshiro OÜ regarding Cevel.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, that is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer ours to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.
