Terms of Use

Chynora is operated by David Bešter, an individual established in Slovenia (“Chynora”, “we”, “us”). These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Chynora event-management platform, including the organiser application at app.chynora.com and the guest-facing invitation surface at join.chynora.com (together, the “Service”).

These Terms apply to the Organisation that creates a Chynora account and to the individual Members who use it on the Organisation’s behalf. By creating an account, accepting an invitation to join an existing Organisation, or otherwise using the Service, the Organisation and each Member agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an Organisation, you confirm you are authorised to do so.

For our own registered name, address and contact details, see the Legal Notice. For how we handle personal data, see the Privacy Policy.

• Organisation — the entity or individual that created a Chynora account and on whose behalf Events are run.
• Member — a person the Organisation has authorised to manage its account and Events.
• Event — a gathering an Organisation creates and manages in Chynora, including its registration form, email templates and guest list.
• Invite and Invite Chain — a single-use invitation link an Organisation or a Guest sends to invite the next person to an Event, and the resulting chain of who invited whom.
• Registration — the record created when someone completes an Event’s registration form after opening an Invite.
• Guest — a person who has a Registration for an Event, whether or not they ever create a Chynora account (most Guests do not).
• Broadcast — a message an Organisation sends to some or all of an Event’s Guests through the Service.
• Guest Data — the personal data an Organisation collects about its Guests through the Service: Registration answers, Invite Chain metadata, and records of the messages sent to them.

Access to Chynora is currently invitation-gated: you must already have been invited before you can create an account, and sign-in is available only through a Google account. There is no public self-service sign-up today. We may change this in the future; if we do, this section will be updated first.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to create an Organisation account or act as a Member. The Service is designed for Organisations to run events for their own Guests, not for use by children.

As between Chynora and the Organisation, the Organisation decides what its registration forms ask, whom it invites, what it broadcasts, and how long it needs Guest Data for its own purposes. Chynora stores and processes Guest Data only to provide the Service and on the Organisation’s instructions — in data protection terms, the Organisation is the controller of its Guest Data and Chynora acts as its processor. Section 12 says more about what that means in practice.

If you are a Guest reading this because you registered for someone’s event: the Organisation that invited you, not Chynora, decides what was asked on the form and who receives your answers. Requests about your own data should go to that Organisation first; see the Privacy Policy for how Chynora handles requests sent to us directly.

The Organisation is solely responsible for having a lawful basis to invite, register and message everyone who ends up in its Invite Chain — including people invited onward by its own Guests, whom Chynora has no relationship with and no way to vet. This includes compliance with applicable direct-marketing and electronic-communications rules for any message that goes beyond organising the Event itself.

The Organisation agrees that it will not use the Service to:

• send unsolicited commercial or marketing communications to people who have not agreed to receive them;
• collect health, dietary, religious, biometric or similarly sensitive information on a registration form without first obtaining the Guest’s explicit, informed consent to that specific collection; or
• conceal or misrepresent who is actually running the Event or sending a Broadcast.

The Organisation agrees to indemnify and hold Chynora harmless from any claim, fine or complaint arising from the content of its Events, forms or Broadcasts, or from its own failure to have a lawful basis to contact a Guest.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• upload, request or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringes someone else’s rights;
• upload identifiable photographs of third parties without a proper basis for doing so;
• attempt to guess, enumerate or otherwise circumvent single-use invite tokens, or access an Event or Registration you were not invited to;
• probe, scan or attack the Service’s infrastructure, or attempt to disrupt it for other users; or
• reverse engineer, scrape or resell the Service other than through the access we provide.

We may remove content, suspend an Invite Chain, or take other proportionate action where we reasonably believe this section has been breached.

Because the guest-facing surface serves Organisation-authored pages and images to people outside the Organisation, we operate a single notice-and-action route for reports of illegal or infringing content, and for requests from Guests, Organisations, or public authorities. A valid notice should identify the material, its location (a URL where possible), your contact details, and why you believe it is unlawful or infringing.

Send reports, and any question about this document, to contact@chynora.com. We aim to acknowledge reports promptly and to act on well-founded ones without undue delay. See also the Copyright & Trademark Notice for infringement notices specifically.

Chynora owns the Service itself — its software, design and the Chynora name and logo. The Organisation retains ownership of everything it puts into the Service: its Event content, registration form design, email templates, brand assets, and all Guest Data. We only take the limited licence needed to host, render, transmit and back up that content in order to provide the Service to the Organisation and its Guests.

The Service is currently offered free of charge, pre-release, and on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Features may change, be added or be withdrawn, and we do not currently commit to any particular level of uptime. We will try to give reasonable notice of material changes that affect how an Organisation’s Events work.

We may suspend or terminate an Organisation’s access if we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users — where practicable, we will give notice and a chance to fix the issue first. An Organisation may stop using the Service at any time.

On termination, the Organisation may request an export of its Event content and Guest Data within a reasonable window; afterwards we will delete or anonymise it, subject to what we need to retain for legal, security or accounting reasons.

The Service is currently provided free of charge. If we introduce paid plans in the future, the pricing, billing terms and any additional consumer-protection disclosures that apply will be published before you are asked to pay anything, and this section will be updated to reflect them.

Where Chynora processes Guest Data on an Organisation’s behalf, it does so as a processor, under the Organisation’s instructions, and only for the purpose of providing the Service. The Privacy Policy describes what is collected and how it is protected in more detail. We intend to offer Organisations a data processing addendum setting out these terms formally once the Service moves beyond invitation-only access; until then, this section and the Privacy Policy record the same commitment.

The Service is provided without warranties of any kind beyond those that cannot be excluded by law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chynora’s total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service is limited to the total fees, if any, paid by the Organisation to Chynora in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim — currently zero, while the Service is free. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited under Slovenian or applicable EU law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Slovenia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Ljubljana, Slovenia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service, except where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a new “Last updated” date, and, for material changes, make a reasonable effort to notify Organisation Members directly. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to contact@chynora.com. See the Legal Notice for our full identification details.
