Terms of Service

Who we are

Velanto is a free platform for making and playing elimination quiz packs. It is run by one independent developer based in Ukraine, in their own time. It is not a company. When these Terms say “we”, that is who they mean. You can reach us at support@playvelanto.com — one person reads that inbox.

Who may use Velanto

You must be 16 or older to have an account. When you register, you confirm that you are. We take your word for it: we do not ask for proof and we do not collect your date of birth. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 16, we close it. We do not go looking.

Your account

You register with an email address, a username and a password. We send a six-digit code to that address, and you must enter it before the account is created — there is no such thing as an unverified Velanto account. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else has got into it, change your password and tell us.

Your content stays yours

You own every pack, comment and vote you make. So that the site can show your content to other people, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, display and distribute it — for the purpose of running Velanto, and for nothing else. We do not sell it, license it onward, or use it to advertise. You are responsible for what you post, and you confirm you have the right to post it.

What you may not post

The Community Rules are part of this agreement and they have the detail. In short: nothing illegal, nothing hateful, nothing that harasses another person, nothing that infringes someone else's rights, and nothing that abuses or disrupts the service or other people's accounts.

How moderation actually works

Two things stand between a submission and the site, and it is worth knowing exactly what each does:

• A word filter runs the moment you submit. It blocks the submission outright — blocked content never reaches our database at all. It does not flag you, report you, or ban you. It only says no.

• A person reviews packs before they appear. Every pack from an ordinary account is reviewed before publication. Accounts we have marked as trusted, and staff accounts, skip that review and publish immediately.

• Every ban is a decision made by a person. Nothing on Velanto bans you automatically.

When we remove things or close accounts

We remove content, restrict features, or suspend or close an account when there is a serious reason to: a breach of these Terms or the Community Rules, or a real risk to other users or to the service. We try to match what we do to how serious the problem is, and we act immediately only where waiting would cause harm. We do not close accounts arbitrarily, and if we end your access for a reason that is not a breach — if we stop running Velanto, for instance — we give you reasonable notice first. If you think we got it wrong, write to support@playvelanto.com and a person will look again.

API tokens and AI agents

You can create API tokens on the documentation page and give them to software you choose, including AI agents. A token acts as you, within the scopes you pick when you create it — and some of those scopes can create, change and delete your packs.

• Anything done with your token is your responsibility, the same as if you had done it yourself.

• Whatever software you give the token to can see everything that token is allowed to read. Only give one to software you trust.

• A token never expires unless you set an expiry. Delete the ones you are not using.

Other people's content

Packs are written by users, not by us. A pack can embed a YouTube video — that is the only way another company can be reached from Velanto, and the only thing a pack can point at that we do not host ourselves. We do not control what is on YouTube and are not responsible for it, and watching it there is governed by Google’s terms, not ours. If something on Velanto infringes your rights, tell us and we will look at it.

What Velanto is, and what it is not

Velanto is a free project run by one person in their spare time. There is no company behind it, no support desk, no uptime guarantee and no service-level agreement. It can go down, lose data, change, or stop existing. Please do not rely on it for anything that matters — it is a place to make quizzes. We say this plainly because it is the honest description of the service, and because what you can fairly expect from Velanto is measured against what Velanto actually is.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the law that applies to you. That sentence outranks everything else in this section. Beyond it: we are not liable for damage caused by ordinary carelessness, except where your national law does not allow that to be excluded. We also do not warrant that user-written packs are accurate — other users wrote them, not us. If you are a consumer, you keep every mandatory right your own law gives you, and nothing here takes any of them away.

Ending this agreement

You can delete your account whenever you like, from your settings. You do not need a reason and you do not need to ask us. It costs nothing. We can end it as described above, and our Privacy Policy explains exactly what happens to your data when an account goes.

Changes to these Terms

Velanto changes, so these Terms will change too. When we make a change that actually affects you, we will tell you before it takes effect and give you reasonable notice. If you do not want to accept the new Terms, delete your account — that is free, immediate and always available to you. Corrections that do not affect your rights we simply make, and update the date at the top.

Which law applies

These Terms are governed by the law of Ukraine, where Velanto is run. If you are a consumer, that choice does not strip you of anything: you keep the mandatory protections of the country you live in, and you can bring a claim in your own country's courts. Where your national law says something different from these Terms, your national law wins.

Language

These Terms were written in English, and the English version is the one that governs. The other translations are machine-made and offered to help you read them. If a translation and the English disagree, the English text is the agreement.
