Terms of Service

The terms that apply when you use the Kidding platform.

Last updated: 2026-05-23

1. The parties

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”) and Kidding e.U., TODO: Straße und Hausnummer, TODO: PLZ TODO: Stadt, Austria, registered in the Austrian commercial register under TODO: FN XXXXXXx (TODO: z. B. Landesgericht Wien) (“Kidding”, “we”, “us”).

By accessing the platform reachable at platform.kidding.at, including its sub-domains and APIs (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who can use the Service

The Service is intended for professional use by athletes, content creators, brand partners, and enterprise marketing teams. You must be at least 14 years old (the digital age of consent in Austria) to use the Service in your own right. If you are between 14 and 18, you confirm that your legal representatives are aware of and consent to your use of the Service.

3. Accounts

  • Most accounts are created by invitation from a Kidding administrator. Self-serve creator accounts may be offered in the future.
  • You must provide accurate information when registering and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • Tell us promptly at contact@kidding.at if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, applicable law, or the policies of the social platforms we connect to.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service in any way that breaches applicable Austrian, EU, or other applicable law;
  • attempt to access data that does not belong to you, or any part of the Service for which you are not authorised;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent permitted by mandatory law (e.g. § 40e UrhG);
  • interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including by introducing malicious code, sending excessive traffic, or attempting to defeat rate-limits;
  • misuse the Service to harass, defame, or infringe the rights of any third party;
  • upload content that you do not have the right to upload, including content that infringes third-party intellectual property, privacy, or personality rights.

5. Social-platform connections

The Service can connect to your accounts on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X to retrieve read-only analytics. By connecting an account you:

  • authorise Kidding to access the data covered by the OAuth scopes shown to you on the platform's consent screen;
  • confirm that you have the right to grant that access;
  • agree to comply with the terms and policies of the relevant social platform.

You can disconnect any account at any time on the Connected Accounts page. Disconnection causes the stored access and refresh tokens to be deleted, and stops any further data collection from that platform.

6. Your content and licences to us

Anything you upload to the Service — including draft creative, briefs, contracts, and comments (“Your Content”) — remains yours. By submitting Your Content you grant Kidding a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, display, and transmit Your Content as needed to operate the Service and to deliver it to the brand partners and athletes you are working with on a campaign.

Public-facing content created for a brand campaign may be subject to a separate written agreement that grants the brand and Kidding further licence rights for an agreed period and territory. Those agreements override anything inconsistent in this section.

7. Our intellectual property

Kidding, the Kidding word and figurative marks, the Service and all software, documentation, designs, and reports we make available are protected by intellectual property laws and remain the property of Kidding e.U. or its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

8. Fees and billing

The Service is currently provided under direct commercial agreements with selected athletes and brand partners. Self-serve creator subscriptions and the associated billing terms may be introduced at a later date; if and when you take one, the specific subscription terms shown at checkout (including price, billing cycle, and right of withdrawal under the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act, FAGG) will form part of these Terms.

9. Service availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available 24/7 but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance will be announced in advance where reasonably possible. We may change, add, or remove features over time. If a change materially reduces the functionality you rely on, we will give you advance notice.

10. Warranties and disclaimers

The Service is provided on a best-effort basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Austrian law, we exclude all implied warranties not expressly stated in these Terms. Statutory warranty rights for consumers under §§ 922 ff ABGB and the Austrian Consumer Protection Act remain unaffected.

11. Liability

Kidding e.U. is liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. For damages caused by slight negligence, our liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. We are not liable for the loss of data to the extent you could have prevented the loss by maintaining your own backups.

Liability for personal injury and liability under the Austrian Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) is not affected by this section.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Kidding e.U. harmless from any third-party claim arising out of Your Content or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by Austrian law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. Where you hold a subscription, the subscription terms apply to termination. We may terminate or suspend your access if you materially breach these Terms; where the breach is curable we will give you a reasonable opportunity to cure it first.

On termination we will delete your personal data in accordance with the retention rules described in our Privacy Policy. You can request immediate deletion via the Data Deletion page.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of material changes by email or in-app banner. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service. Continued use after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Austrian law (excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Sales Convention).

For consumers domiciled in the EU, statutory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you reside also apply where they are more favourable to you than these Terms.

For all disputes with merchants (Unternehmer) arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of TODO: zuständiges Gericht am Sitz der Gesellschaft, z. B. "Handelsgericht Wien".
