Terms of service

Effective date: 9 November 2026. Last updated: 9 November 2026.

1. Who we are

Tabernio (the "Service") is operated by Peter Balog e.v., a sole proprietorship registered in Hungary.

In these Terms, "we", "us" and "Tabernio" mean Peter Balog e.v. "You" and "Customer" mean the business that uses the Service, and each person it lets use its account.

By creating an account, asking us to set up a website, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you agree on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind it.

2. What Tabernio is

Tabernio is a hosted website builder for local businesses. It gives you:

• a website that we set up for you from your information;
• an editor at app.tabernio.com where you change texts, menus, prices, opening hours and photos, and publish the changes;
• hosting on a free address (name.tabernio.page) or on your own domain;
• an inbox for contact form messages; and
• optional add-ons: Get found (blog, news, Google and AI assistant visibility), Live chat, Multilingual (up to three site languages) and Simple analytics.

We set up the first version of your website, sometimes with help from AI (see section 8). You decide what goes live. Nothing is published until a person reviews it and presses Publish. If you ask us to publish for you, we do it on your instructions.

We provide software and hosting. We are not your web agency, and we take no editorial responsibility for what your website says.

3. Accounts

3.1 Registration. Give us accurate information and keep it current. You log in with a link we send to your email, so anyone with access to your email can open your account. Keep your email secure. Tell us at hello@tabernio.com at once if you suspect unauthorised access.

3.2 Websites. Your account can manage the websites we agree with you. Each website has one owner account.

3.3 Eligibility. The Service is for business use only. You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter contracts. It is not offered to consumers, and consumer distance-selling rights do not apply to a business purchase.

4. Free website, add-ons and payment

4.1 Free website. The basic website is free: your pages, menu or price list, opening hours, contact form, your own domain and all styles.

4.2 Add-ons. Add-ons cost 3,000 HUF per month each. All four together cost 10,000 HUF per month or 100,000 HUF per year. Current prices are on tabernio.com. Prices exclude VAT.

4.3 Billing and renewal. Add-ons bill in advance, monthly or yearly as you choose. They renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price until you cancel.

4.4 Invoices. For each payment we issue a Hungarian VAT invoice (számla) through our invoicing provider, Billingo. You pay by bank transfer or by card, as offered at the time. Card payments are processed by Stripe. A payment confirmation is not a tax invoice.

4.5 Late payment. If a payment is more than 14 days late, we may switch off the add-ons until it is paid. Your basic website keeps working.

4.6 Price changes. We may change prices for future periods on at least 30 days' notice by email. Your current period is unaffected. If you do not accept the new price, cancel before it takes effect.

4.7 Taxes. If you give a valid EU VAT number, the reverse charge applies where the law allows it. We check VAT numbers through the EU VIES service. You are responsible for the accuracy of your tax details.

4.8 Changes to the free website. We may change what the free website includes, or stop offering it, on at least 60 days' notice. You can always take your content with you (section 6).

5. Addresses and domains

5.1 Free address. Your free address (name.tabernio.page) belongs to the Service. We may change it if it infringes someone's rights or misleads visitors. To protect our customers, free addresses are not shown in search engines or AI assistants. To be found there, use your own domain.

5.2 Your own domain. Your domain is yours. You keep it if you leave. You are responsible for renewing it with your domain registrar. We connect it to your website and remove the connection when you leave.

6. Cancellation and leaving

You may cancel an add-on at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. You keep the add-on until then and are not charged again.

Payments are not refunded, except where the law requires it or where we fail to provide the Service you paid for.

You may close your account at any time by writing to hello@tabernio.com. On request we give you your texts and photos. Ask within 30 days after closing (section 15.4).

7. Your content

7.1 Ownership. You own everything you put into the Service: texts, photos, logos, menus and other material ("Customer Content"). As between you and us, you also own the texts we write for your website, including texts suggested by AI.

7.2 Licence to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, transmit, display and process Customer Content only to provide, secure and support the Service, including showing your published website to the public. This licence ends when you delete the content or your website, subject to backup retention in our Privacy Policy.

7.3 No training. We do not use Customer Content to train AI models, and our AI providers' terms exclude it from their model training.

7.4 Showcase. We show your website as an example on tabernio.com only with your permission.

7.5 Your responsibility. You warrant that you hold the rights to all Customer Content (including photos), and that using it through the Service breaks no law and infringes no one's rights. You are responsible for what your website says, including prices, opening hours, allergen information and any information the law requires you to show, such as your company details.

8. AI drafts

We may use AI to draft the first version of your website from the material you send. AI drafts can contain mistakes: wrong prices, wrong opening hours or facts that are not true. We check drafts with reasonable care, but you must review your website before it goes live and whenever you change it. When you publish, or ask us to publish, you confirm that you have checked it.

9. Your visitors and data protection

For personal data that your website collects (contact form messages, chats and visitor statistics), you are the controller and we are your processor. Section 7 of our Privacy Policy sets out how we process this data on your behalf. You are responsible for having a lawful basis for this data and for informing your visitors as the law requires.

10. Third-party services

Your website can link to or show services you choose, such as booking tools, videos, maps and social networks. You are responsible for your accounts with those services and for following their terms. We are not liable if a third party changes, limits or stops its service, or closes your account with it.

11. Acceptable use

You may not, and may not let anyone:

• publish content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, deceptive, or that infringes the rights of others;
• impersonate another business or person, or use a website for phishing, fraud or collecting data under false pretences;
• send spam or bulk messages through the contact form or chat;
• upload malware, or probe, scan or test the security of the Service without our written permission;
• use automated means to access the Service outside its normal interfaces, or get around its limits; or
• resell the Service or offer it to clients as an agency, unless we agree in writing.

We may investigate suspected breaches. We may remove content or suspend a website when we reasonably believe that it breaks these Terms or the law, puts the Service at risk, or when the law requires it. Where we can, we tell you first.

12. Availability and support

We aim for high availability, but we give no uptime commitment unless we agree one in writing. We may do maintenance, and we give advance notice of planned maintenance where practical.

Support is by email at hello@tabernio.com during Hungarian business hours.

13. Warranties and disclaimers

We provide the Service with reasonable skill and care.

Otherwise, to the maximum extent the law permits, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not promise any particular result, such as visitors, rankings in Google, mentions in AI assistants, bookings or revenue.

14. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Subject to that:

14.1 Neither party is liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or data, however arising.

14.2 Our total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the total fees you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

14.3 We are not liable for any loss caused by what you publish, whether or not you or we reviewed it.

15. Term, suspension and termination

15.1 These Terms apply for as long as you have an account.

15.2 You may end them at any time by closing your account.

15.3 We may suspend or terminate the Service at once, on notice, if you materially breach these Terms (including section 11), do not pay, or if the law requires it.

15.4 When your account ends, your access ends and your website goes offline. Ask within 30 days if you want your texts and photos. After that we delete your data as our Privacy Policy describes, except where the law requires us to keep it.

15.5 We may stop offering the Service on at least 60 days' notice.

15.6 Sections 7.1, 7.5, 8, 13, 14, 15.4, 16 and 17 survive termination.

16. Indemnity

You will indemnify us and hold us harmless against third-party claims and reasonable legal costs that arise from (a) your Customer Content, (b) what you publish, (c) your breach of section 7.5 or section 11, or (d) your infringement of anyone's rights. This includes claims for defamation, intellectual property infringement, misleading advertising and breach of data protection law.

17. General

17.1 Data protection. Our Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data. It forms part of these Terms.

17.2 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. For material changes we give at least 30 days' notice by email or in the editor. If you keep using the Service after the effective date, you accept the change. If you do not accept it, close your account or cancel your add-ons before it takes effect.

17.3 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.

17.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any written offer we make to you are the entire agreement between us on this subject. If a written offer conflicts with these Terms, the offer wins. Purchase orders or supplier terms you issue have no effect.

17.5 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.

17.6 No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, we do not waive it.

17.7 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

17.8 Governing law and jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by the laws of Hungary, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of Hungary have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory protections available to you under the law of your place of establishment.
