Terms of Service

last updated 2026-07-28 · production · briven.tech

1. Who and what

Briven is a hosted backend platform (databases, Auth, storage, functions, dashboard) at briven.techand its subdomains (the “Service”). It is operated by flndrn Limited(the “Operator”, “we”, “us”), registered at Arch. Makariou III 171, Vanezis Business Center 4th floor, 3027 Limassol, Cyprus. Day-to-day operations are based in Flanders, Belgium.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Subprocessors list, and Trust page, form the agreement between you (“Customer”, “you”) and the Operator. By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract under the law of your jurisdiction. If you create an account for a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

3. Account

• You are responsible for your credentials and for access granted to teammates (API keys, machine clients, magic links, OAuth).
• You must keep a working email address on the account. We may suspend the account if mail repeatedly bounces and we cannot reach you about security or billing.
• Do not share a single human login across people. Invite teammates or use machine clients (M2M) for servers and jobs.

4. The Service

The Service includes, as enabled for your project: managed versioned Postgres (Doltgres), Briven Auth (end-user login, sessions, MFA, roles, machine clients), object storage, deployable functions, realtime where offered, Studio, and the operator dashboard at briven.tech. Feature availability depends on your plan and project configuration.

Open-source components of Briven may be licensed under AGPL-3.0 (engine) and MIT (CLI / SDKs) as stated in the public repository. These Terms apply to the hosted Service only.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

• store, transmit, or generate content that is illegal under EU or Belgian law;
• send unsolicited bulk email, spam, or abusive outbound traffic;
• host material that infringes copyright, trademark, or other third-party intellectual property;
• host CSAM, content that sexualises minors, or non-consensual intimate imagery — accounts hosting such material will be terminated immediately and reported to the appropriate authority;
• probe, scan, or attempt to compromise other tenants, the host infrastructure, or any system you do not own;
• run cryptocurrency mining, distributed computation for hire, or denial-of-service tools;
• resell the Service or run a separate commercial product on a free tier in a way that circumvents paid plans when those plans apply to your usage.

We may remove offending content and suspend the responsible account without notice when the issue is severe (CSAM, active outbound attack, third-party legal demand). For other breaches we will give reasonable notice and a chance to cure where practical.

6. Your content

Your data is yours: schemas, rows, functions, files, Auth users for your apps, and project configuration. You keep all rights. You grant us only the limited licence needed to host and operate the Service (store, back up, process, and transmit content to clients you authorize).

You can export project assets via the dashboard and CLI. We will not trap your data in a proprietary format we alone can read.

7. Fees and plans

Current plans and prices are published at briven.tech/pricing. Free or included usage (if any) is described there and in your dashboard. Paid features are billed according to the plan you select.

Material price or plan changes will be announced on the site and, where we have a billing email, notified at least 30 days before they affect you. Taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) may be added where the Operator is required to collect them. Card and bank details are handled by our payment subprocessor — see Subprocessors.

8. Availability and changes

The Service is offered for production use. We aim for continuous availability and maintain backups and operational practices described on the Trust page. Unless you have a separate written SLA with flndrn Limited, the Service is provided without a contractual uptime percentage guarantee.

We may improve, change, or retire features. Material removals that break documented behaviour will be announced with reasonable notice when possible. Emergency security changes may ship immediately.

9. Self-hosting open source

These Terms apply only to the hosted Service. If you run Briven software yourself from open-source releases, the applicable open-source licences apply; the Operator does not provide warranty or support for your self-hosted deployment under these Terms.

10. Intellectual property

The Briven name, logo, brand, and the design of briven.tech remain the Operator’s property. Open-source code is licensed as stated in the repository. Nothing here transfers brand ownership to you.

11. Suspension and termination

• You may close your account from Settings. Deletion of project data follows the retention windows described in the Privacy Policy and dashboard; export before you delete if you need a copy.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate Section 5, are in material breach of these Terms, or are subject to a binding legal demand. Where possible we give notice and an export window.
• We may discontinue the hosted Service with at least 90 days’ notice if continuing becomes commercially unviable; you may then self-host from open source where available.

12. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Operator disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where mandatory law forbids that disclaimer. Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights under EU law.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Operator’s total liability for claims arising out of these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) fees you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) €100. The Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost data where recovery is reasonably available from your own backups. Nothing limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law.

14. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from third-party claims arising from (a) your content, (b) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of law. We will give prompt notice and reasonable cooperation; you control the defence subject to our consent for settlements that admit our fault or bind us non-monetarily.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date and, for material changes, emailed to the address on your account when practical, at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you disagree, close your account before that date.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Antwerp, Belgium, without limiting non-waivable consumer rights in your country. The English version controls if translations conflict.
