Eligibility

Minimum age:

  • You must be 13 years or older to create a User account;

  • You must be 18 years or older (or the age of majority in your country) to:

    • create and/or manage a Business / Community account;

    • purchase and/or access paid features or subscriptions;

    • enter any binding commercial agreement with Hourbond;

    • make or receive payments through the Services.

Minors operating a Business:

  • Certain minors (e.g., tutors or youth entrepreneurs) may operate a Business provided they have the legal capacity to do so under local laws and have obtained appropriate guardian or parental authorization, and you represent that such permission has been granted. We may request proof of age and consent at any time.

Dependent minor profiles:

  • A Business may create a dependent profile representing a minor (under 18) within its Community, where the minor is linked to an adult Member acting as their guardian or holder of parental responsibility. Dependent minor profiles do not have login credentials and cannot independently interact with the Services. All bookings, communications, and account actions for the dependent profile are performed by the linked adult, who is responsible for: (i) confirming they have the legal authority to provide consent for the processing of the minor's data; (ii) the accuracy and lawfulness of any data submitted on the minor's behalf; (iii) communicating relevant information about the minor's bookings and activities. The Business is responsible for verifying the relationship between the adult Member and the dependent profile before creation. Hourbond does not establish a direct contractual relationship with the minor; the adult is the relevant data subject and legally responsible party for purposes of this Agreement.

Right to verify:

  • Hourbond may, at its sole discretion, require documentary evidence of age, identity, or authority and may suspend or terminate accounts that fail verification.

    • provides false information;

    • is inactive for more than 12 months;

Payment, Subscription, and In-App Purchases

Hourbond may offer products and services for purchase on the App (“In-App Purchase”). If you choose to make an In-App Purchase, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms, disclosed to you at the point of purchase, may apply, and that such additional terms are incorporated herein by reference.

You may make an In-App Purchase through a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (“Third-Party Stores”), which will be processed by a third-party processor. Once you have made an In-App Purchase, you authorize us to charge your chosen Payment Method. Outside the App, Hourbond accepts (i) SEPA credit transfer or (ii) SEPA Direct-Debit mandate (collectively “Payment Methods”). If payment is not received by us from your chosen Payment Method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us.

Subscription Model and Billing:

The HOURBOND App is offered on a subscription basis, with various tiers defining capacity limits (e.g., active members, monthly booking spots, team members) and features (such as priority support). Specific tier details are provided within the App and/or on our website.

In-App Purchases (IAP) Subscriptions:

  • Digital subscriptions purchased inside the App (“IAP Subscriptions”) are processed, billed and managed by Apple App Store or Google Play, and are subject to their respective billing cycles, commissions, refund policies, and terms;

  • Hourbond does not process or refund these payments.

  • Renewal:

    • IAP Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period.

  • Cancellation:

    • You must cancel your subscription through your Apple or Google account settings, at least 24 hours before renewal. Deleting the App or your Hourbond account does not cancel the store subscription.

  • Free Trials:

    • Free trial periods, if offered, will convert to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends;

  • Refunds:

    • All subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or platform policies;

    • If you subscribed using your Apple ID, any refund request must be submitted to Apple; Hourbond cannot issue or override Apple refunds;

    • If you subscribed through Google, any refund request must be submitted to Google; Hourbond cannot issue or override Google refunds.

Other Subscriptions (Direct-Invoice: SEPA):

  • This clause applies to all subscriptions paid outside the Third-Party Stores, namely by (i) SEPA credit transfer or (ii) SEPA Direct Debit mandate (“Direct-Invoice Subscriptions”).

  • Billing Cycles and Fees

    • Monthly Plan: Fees are invoiced monthly in advance and cover the period from the 1st to the last calendar day of the service month;

    • Annual Plan: Fees are invoiced once per contract year and cover twelve consecutive months.

  • Invoicing and Payment Communications

    • Invoices and payment notices are delivered by e-mail to your designated billing contact; you agree to receive electronic invoices;

    • For SEPA credit transfers, include the invoice number in the payment reference. To avoid activation delays, you may e-mail a remittance advice to billing@hourbond.com (either proactively or upon our request). Service activation occurs when funds are received and matched to your account;

    • For SEPA Direct Debit, mandate and pre-notification communications may be sent by e-mail.

  • Due Date and Grace Period

    • Due Date: All Direct-Invoice Subscriptions are payable no later than the 3rd calendar day of the billing period (“Due Date”);

    • Grace Period: If payment has not been received by 23:59 UTC on the 3rd calendar day, Hourbond may suspend access to paid features until full settlement without prejudice to any other remedies; Fees continue to accrue.

  • Late-Payment Interest

    • We reserve the right to charge statutory late-payment interest on overdue amounts outstanding beyond the Grace Period;

    • For business customers (B2B), we may also recover the statutory fixed recovery fee and any reasonable debt-collection/enforcement costs permitted by law.

  • SEPA Direct-Debit Mandate

    • If the Customer signs a SEPA Direct-Debit mandate, the Customer agrees that pre-notification is shortened to three (3) days. Failed debits constitute non-payment for the purpose of Due Date and Grace Period;

    • If a SEPA Direct Debit is returned unpaid, we may re-present the debit or require an alternative payment method.

  • Suspension and Reinstatement

    • Suspension under Due Date and Grace Period does not cancel the subscription or waive accrued fees. Service will be reinstated automatically upon full payment of all outstanding amounts.

  • Cancellation:

    • You may cancel a Direct-Invoice subscription by contacting us by email to billing@hourbond.com, with the subject “Subscription Cancellation”, at least ten (10) days before the next billing cycle. No refunds are issued for partial months already paid.

  • Free Trials:

    • Free trial periods, if offered, will convert to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends. Where a 14-day trial is provided, no charge occurs during the trial and the EU 14-day withdrawal right does not apply.

  • Refunds:

    • Fees paid for Direct-Invoice Subscriptions are non-refundable, except as required by applicable law.

    • EU consumers: You may withdraw from a new monthly or annual subscription within fourteen (14) days of its start date and receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion. Subscription renewals and accounts blocked for breach of these Terms are not eligible for refunds.

Plan tiers & Price changes:

  • Hourbond offers multiple tiers with different capacity limits and features (details in-app and on the Site), which can vary based on region, length of subscription, bundle size and more. We also regularly test new features and payment options;

  • Hourbond reserves the right, including without prior notice, to modify subscription pricing; to limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any product, feature, service or other offering; to impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount, offer or other promotion; to bar any user from making any transaction; and to refuse to provide any user with any product, service or other offering or to honour any offer;

  • Continuing to use a paid plan after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Subscription Expiry and Service Continuity:

  • When a Business subscription is canceled, expires, or otherwise lapses: (i) the Business loses access to paid-tier features and limits; (ii) the Business remains visible in Discovery, but may not continue to receive Connection Requests or operate paid features until the subscription is resumed; (iii) Clients of the Business retain read-only access to their own membership data; (iv) the Business's data (members, bookings, slots, ledger entries, public profile) is retained pending resumption or deletion in accordance with the Termination and Privacy provisions of this Agreement; (v) the Business may resume the subscription at any time, restoring full access without loss of data.

Authorisation & taxes:

By purchasing any paid Service you: (i) confirm you are authorised to use the chosen payment method and (ii) authorise Hourbond or its processor to charge all fees and taxes that apply. Prices are exclusive of VAT or similar taxes unless stated otherwise.

Usage Limits and Fair Use:

Plan limits include (i) capacity caps (e.g., Active Members, Team Members) and (ii) monthly metered quotas (e.g., slots/interactions). Metered quotas reset at 00:00:00 UTC on the first calendar day of each month; no rollover. If a capacity cap is exceeded (including after a plan change), certain features may be unavailable until the account is back within the subscribed plan limits. Current plan limits for standard plans are described in-app and on our Site. To protect the platform and service quality, Hourbond may enforce fair-use caps such as, but not limited to, limits on creation rate, pending requests, concurrent operations, or total records per account, and may temporarily throttle or freeze activity that appears automated, fraudulent, unusually high, or suspected abuse. Caps may be adjusted or lifted upon reasonable verification of legitimate use.

No Payment Processing Between Business and Members:

Hourbond processes payments only for its own subscriptions (whether through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Direct-Invoice as set out above). Hourbond does not process, hold, or transmit money between a Business and its Clients. Session fees, monthly passes, packages, and any commercial settlement between a Business and its Clients are arranged and collected directly by the Business, using methods of its choice (for example, MB WAY, bank transfer, cash, or third-party payment platforms operated independently of Hourbond). Records created by a Business within the Services, including Ledger entries, reflect what the Business chooses to record for its own bookkeeping; they do not constitute a financial transaction by Hourbond and Hourbond is not a party to the underlying commercial relationship.

Ledger and Bookkeeping:

The Ledger feature allows Businesses to record monthly passes, individual session credits, group session credits, and packages assigned to Clients. Ledger entries reflect data the Business chooses to record; Hourbond does not verify the accuracy of Ledger entries against the underlying commercial relationship. The Ledger may reflect amounts owed by Clients to the Business; settlement of any such amounts is solely between the Business and the Client and not the responsibility of Hourbond. Businesses are reminded that they may have independent record-retention obligations under applicable Portuguese law (including the Código Comercial) regardless of any retention or deletion of Ledger data within the Services.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may incorporate or rely on third-party service providers for authentication, hosting, data storage, analytics, payment processing, and other functionalities, such as Firebase (the “Third-Party Services”). These Third-Party Services are provided by entities over which Hourbond has no control and are governed by their own terms and conditions and privacy policies. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Hourbond is not responsible for the availability, performance, security, or data practices of such Third-Party Services. In the event of any failure, data loss, or other issues attributable to Third-Party Services, Hourbond's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Hourbond. We assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. Use such services at your own risk.

Public Profiles and Discovery

A Business, when created, will automatically appear in Hourbond Discovery, a directory feature that allows authenticated users of the Services to search for and view Businesses by name. When a Business is listed in Discovery: (i) the Business is responsible for the accuracy of the information displayed in its public profile; (ii) public profile fields (including business email, phone number, url, location, and 'About' description) each have an independent visibility toggle, all of which default to OFF; (iii) the Business remains visible in Discovery regardless of subscription status; visibility is not removed when a subscription expires or lapses; (iv) the Business may opt out of Discovery at any time by requesting deletion of the Business as set out in the Termination section, after which the Business is hidden from Discovery immediately and permanently deleted at Day 90. Subscription status (active, trial, expired) may be reflected by an indicator within Discovery to assist users; this is an operational feature and may be added, removed, or modified without notice. By enabling Discovery, the Business consents to its public profile being visible to other authenticated users of the Services. Hourbond does not currently expose Discovery results outside the App.

Connection Requests

A Client may request to join a Business community through Discovery. Connection Requests are the sole mechanism for new Clients to join a Business in the Services. When a Connection Request is sent, the Business receives the requesting Client's identity (e.g. name, user identifier, profile image) so that it can evaluate the request. Approval, denial, or revocation of a Connection Request is at the Business's discretion and is subject to applicable non-discrimination law.

User-Generated Content, Activities and Business Data

Responsibility

  • All content, data, and configuration you (or your Business) upload— including, but not limited to, scheduling and booking details, slot settings, images, text, and external URLs—are solely your responsibility. Hourbond does not pre-screen or verify this material;

  • You acknowledge and accept that your personal information may be displayed in several areas throughout the App, such as listings, based on your activities and interactions.

Accuracy & Legality

  • Hourbond does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any user-generated data entered and/or actions performed by Users or Businesses. Any errors or omissions are the sole responsibility of the party providing the data. Hourbond shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the data, even if such errors result in financial loss or reputational harm.

Notice-and-Takedown (EU DSA):

  • If you believe content hosted via Hourbond is illegal or infringes your rights, please email support@hourbond.com with a description and URL. We will review and, where required by law, remove or disable access without undue delay. Please include your name, contact details, and a statement of good-faith belief that the content is unlawful.

In-App Reports and Community Standards:

  • In addition to the Notice-and-Takedown mechanism described above, Clients may report a Business directly within the App via the in-app Report feature. A Report includes the reporter's identity (visible to Hourbond, not visible to the reported Business), a reason category, and an optional description (up to 500 characters). Hourbond reviews Reports in a reasonable timeframe and may take any of the following actions at its discretion: contact the Business for clarification; issue a warning; hide the Business from Discovery; suspend or terminate the Business's subscription; permanently remove the Business from the Services. False, malicious, or abusive Reports may result in action against the reporter's Account. Decisions on Reports are made in accordance with the principles of the European Union Digital Services Act and applicable Portuguese law.

Third-party content inside the App

  • Posting or linking to third-party material does not imply endorsement by Hourbond. You rely on such content entirely at your own risk.

Communications and Notifications

By joining a Business community as a Client, you consent to receive transactional and announcement communications from that Business through the Services, including: (i) booking confirmations, reminders, and changes; (ii) in-app announcements (Beams), retained for up to 60 days; and (iii) push notifications. The volume of announcements and push notifications is subject to the Business's subscription tier limits. You may disable push notifications at the device level. Hourbond does not currently send marketing communications; if marketing communications are introduced in the future, they will be subject to a separate opt-in consent.

Disclaimer and Limitations of Liability

Hourbond reserves the right to modify the Services. You are responsible for providing your own access to the Services. The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and we make no express or implied representations or warranties regarding it. You therefore use the Services at your own risk. Hourbond expressly disclaims any and all representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, security, accuracy or uninterrupted availability.

The Services (including without limitation any content or other part thereof) may contain general information only and by making the Services available, Hourbond is not rendering professional advice or services. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our Services, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees, whether expressed or implied, that the content on our Services is accurate, complete, or up to date. Before making any decision or taking action that might affect you or your business, you should consult a qualified professional advisor.

If, notwithstanding the other provisions of these Terms, Hourbond is found to be liable to you for any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Services, Hourbond's liability shall in no event exceed (i) the amount of 20.00 EUR or (ii) the total amount of fees you paid to Hourbond in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

Any dispute you have with any Third-Party Services or other third party using the Services, including, but not limited to, any Business or Client or User, is directly between you and that third party.

Termination

You can delete your Account (User Account) at any time by logging into the App, going to the “Security” tab, and following the instructions to terminate your account. Also, a business owner may request deletion of their Business through the in-app settings. Please note that if you delete your Account and/or Business Account, any active subscription will continue until the end of the subscription period for which applicable fees have been paid, and you will not be entitled to a refund except as stated in previous section. In addition to deleting your account and/or business account, you will also need to cancel/manage any recurring subscriptions purchased via a Third-Party Store (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing. If you request the User Account deletion and sign back in to the App during the next 30-day period, the deletion request is automatically cancelled and your account (and its data) will be re-activated. If you request the Business Account deletion, it follows a phased timeline: (i) immediately on request, the Business is removed from public Discovery and the deletion enters a grace period; (ii) at Day 30, future bookings, slots, and recurring activity are canceled and existing Members are notified; (iii) at Day 90, all Business data — including memberships, bookings, slots, beams, ledger entries, codes, subscription, and public profile — is permanently deleted, subject to retention obligations under applicable law (including Portuguese commercial-records retention obligations). The Business owner may revoke the deletion request at any point before Day 90 via the in-app revocation flow.

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, Hourbond reserves the right to terminate or suspend, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, your right to access or use the Services, or any part of the Services, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Within 30 days after account closure, the account owner may request, by e-mail to support@hourbond.com, a CSV or JSON export of core booking data. After that period, Hourbond may permanently delete the data without further notice.
