Terms of service

Last updated: September 6, 2026

1. Scope and provider

These terms govern the use of the favowe service (favowe.com), operated by Ahmet Altuntas Softwareentwicklung & IT-Dienstleistungen (address and contact: see imprint). Deviating terms of the user do not apply.

2. The service

favowe is a personal bookmark manager: you save links, notes, tags and documents in your own account and organize them visually. favowe is a storage and organization tool for your own use — there are no public profiles, no sharing of content with other users, and no publishing feature.

For features around YouTube videos (e.g. title, channel name, description) favowe uses the YouTube API Services; your use of these features is additionally governed by the YouTube Terms of Service.

3. Account and conclusion of contract

An account is required, and you must be at least 16 years old to use the service. The usage contract for the free plan is concluded when you complete the registration and confirm your email address. You can review and correct your entries at any time before submitting. We do not store the contract text; the current version of these terms remains permanently available here. Contract languages are German and English.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent that you performed it yourself or are accountable for it (e.g. by sharing your credentials). Accounts are not transferable.

4. Your content and your responsibility

Everything you store in favowe (links, notes, uploaded documents, captured page text) remains yours. We only receive the technical usage right needed to store it for you, back it up, and display it to you — for no other purpose, and in particular not for advertising or for training AI models.

You warrant that you store content for your own private or internal use only and that doing so does not infringe third-party rights. This applies in particular to the browser extension’s optional page text capture: it exists solely to make pages you lawfully visited yourself findable again for you personally (private copying). Publishing, redistributing or making captured content available to third parties is not permitted — the service deliberately provides no feature for it.

Also not permitted: storing content whose possession or distribution is unlawful, and any use of the service that impairs its operation or other users (e.g. circumventing technical limits, automated bulk access outside the interfaces provided for it).

5. AI agents (MCP interface)

You may connect your own AI assistants to your account via the MCP interface. Actions of an agent you connected count as your actions. What data your AI provider processes is its own responsibility — only connect services you trust.

6. Plans, fees and payment

favowe offers a free plan with quantity limits and a paid pro plan as a subscription (currently €34.99 per year or €3.99 per month, including VAT; the price shown in the checkout at the time of purchase is decisive and may vary with your country’s tax rate and currency). The current limits of the free plan are shown on the pricing page. If you import more than your plan allows, nothing is lost: excess links are stored as “packed” links — they stay visible, sortable and annotatable, but cannot be opened until an upgrade.

Paid plans are sold and billed by our reseller and merchant of record, Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd., London, UK, and its affiliates). The purchase contract for the pro plan is concluded with Paddle; Paddle handles payment processing, invoices and taxes, and Paddle’s buyer terms (Buyer Terms), including Paddle’s refund policy, apply to the purchase in addition to these terms. The service itself is provided by us.

The monthly subscription renews month by month until cancelled; you can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing month. The yearly subscription has an initial term of twelve months; after that it continues for an indefinite period (still billed yearly in advance) and you can cancel it at any time with a notice period of at most one month. If it therefore ends within a year you have already paid for, we refund the fee for the remaining time proportionately.

You can cancel at any time without a cancellation fee — in the app (Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription) or, without logging in, via the cancellation page Cancel contracts here. After the paid period ends, your account simply returns to the free plan.

Binding product promises in every plan: the free plan’s limits are never lowered for existing accounts, downgrading never deletes content, and an export of your data (bookmarks, notes, tags, documents, prompts) in open formats is free, forever.

7. Withdrawal and refunds

If you are a consumer, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for the purchase of the pro plan — the full instructions on withdrawal including the model withdrawal form are at the end of this page. An informal message is sufficient: via the withdrawal page Withdraw from contract, by email to support@favowe.com, or directly to Paddle as the seller (the contact route is included in your order confirmation, e.g. paddle.net). Refunds are issued to the original payment method.

Beyond the statutory right: if something is broken or favowe clearly did not deliver what was promised, we refund the purchase price in full on request. Renewal charges are likewise refunded in full if your request reaches us within 14 days of the charge.

8. Availability and changes to the service

We operate favowe with care (including daily encrypted backups) but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability; short interruptions can occur, e.g. for maintenance. We may evolve the service as long as its core purpose for you — storing, organizing and exporting your own collection — remains intact. Features of the free plan can change; the promised free limits (section 6) are never reduced for existing accounts.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual duties (duties whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. Unaffected remain claims under a guarantee we have given (such as the binding product promises in section 6), claims for fraudulently concealed defects, your statutory warranty rights for digital products (secs. 327 et seq. German Civil Code), and mandatory statutory liability, in particular under the GDPR.

10. Term, termination, deletion

You can delete your account yourself at any time (Settings → Account). The deletion is executed after a 14-day grace period and can be aborted until then by signing in again; an active pro subscription is cancelled automatically with your deletion request so that nothing further is charged. Upon execution all content is removed (for the backup tail see the privacy policy, Backups section).

We may terminate the free usage contract with three months’ notice in text form. If we discontinue the service altogether, we will announce it with the same notice period; already paid periods are refunded proportionately, and the export remains available until the end.

In case of serious or repeated violations of section 4 we may terminate the contract; except in clear abuse cases we will ask you to remedy the violation first. Your export right survives any termination.

11. Switching providers and data export

You can leave favowe or switch to another service at any time. An export of your data (bookmarks, notes, tags, documents, prompts; scope in the privacy policy, section 13) in structured, commonly used, machine-readable open formats (including JSON and HTML, as a ZIP archive) is available in every plan, at any time, free of charge (Settings → Export); there are no switching or export fees, and no periods longer than the notice periods in section 6 apply. Your data is stored with our processors in the EU (database: Frankfurt; document storage: Cloudflare R2 with EU jurisdiction); details on storage locations and safeguards are described in the privacy policy.

12. Reporting unlawful content, point of contact

The central point of contact under Articles 11 and 12 of the Digital Services Act is support@favowe.com (communication in German or English). Content stored in favowe is visible only to the respective account; if you nevertheless consider content stored on favowe to be unlawful, you can report it informally to this address — please include a reasoning and, where possible, a precise identification of the content. We review reports promptly, block affected content where necessary (section 4), and give the affected parties reasons for our decision.

13. Final provisions

German law applies. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the provider’s registered office. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Should individual provisions be invalid, the remainder stays in force.

Instructions on withdrawal

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform the seller — Paddle.com Market Limited (your contracting party for the purchase; the contact route is included in your order confirmation, e.g. paddle.net) — or us (favowe — Ahmet Altuntas Softwareentwicklung & IT-Dienstleistungen, address: see imprint, email: support@favowe.com; we forward your declaration to the seller without delay) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. by email or via the withdrawal page). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, all payments received from you by the seller shall be reimbursed to you without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which the notification of your withdrawal was received. The reimbursement uses the same means of payment that you used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in no event will you be charged fees for this reimbursement. If you requested that the service begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the service already provided up to the time of your withdrawal, compared with the full scope of the service provided for in the contract. In practice we usually refund in full for withdrawals within the fourteen days (section 7).
