Terms of Use
These terms govern the use of Bizleen (the "Service"), free accounts included. By using the Service, you accept them. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. The sale of paid subscriptions lives in a separate document, the Terms of Sale: price, term, renewal, cancellation and the right of withdrawal are described there. If you take out a subscription, both documents apply. The French version is the legal reference.
1. The Service
Bizleen lets you create a digital business card, served at a public address
bizleen.com/@your-handle, with a QR code and a downloadable
contact file. Every language you enable is served at an address of the same
shape, preceded by the language code (/en/@your-handle). How
many languages are open to you depends on your plan, and is set out in the
Terms of Sale.
One free plan and two paid plans (Presence, Business) coexist. The current feature breakdown is shown in the Pricing section; the contractual commitments attached to each plan are set out in the Terms of Sale. Payments are processed by Stripe: Bizleen never receives or stores any card number. You view, change or cancel your subscription from your Billing area.
Both paid plans also open team member cards, up to twenty per venue. They belong to the account that creates them, the employer's, and not to the team member's, even when the latter is given the right to keep them up to date. What that means when a subscription ends is described in article 9 of the Terms of Sale; what it means when an account is closed is described in article 9 below.
2. Sign-up, age and capacity
- You must be 16 years or older to create an account and use the Service.
- You provide a valid email address and choose a password of at least 10 characters.
- You are responsible for keeping your password confidential, and for everything done under your account.
- One account per person. Duplicate accounts may be deleted.
Age of access and capacity to subscribe are two different things. Sixteen is enough to open an account and publish a free card. Taking out a paid subscription is a contractual commitment: it requires being of legal age, or acting for a company with the authority to bind it. By subscribing on behalf of a business, you declare that you hold that authority.
3. Choosing your public address
The public address of your card (/@your-handle) is assigned
first-come, first-served. We reserve the right to:
- Reserve the addresses the Service needs in order to operate.
- Refuse or revoke an address that impersonates a person, brand or organization.
- Reassign an address that is plainly squatted and unused.
4. Acceptable use
You agree NOT to use the Service to:
- Impersonate another person or organization.
- Publish content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or contrary to public morality.
- Host or distribute pornographic or violent content, or content harmful to minors.
- Conduct phishing, fraud, or social engineering.
- Distribute malware or malicious links through your card fields.
- Send unsolicited messages, scrape the site, or abuse the technical limits of the Service.
- Circumvent security or rate-limiting mechanisms.
- Infringe third-party intellectual property rights (photographs, logos, trademarks).
A breach may lead to the suspension or closure of your account, with or without notice depending on severity, and we tell you the reason. The consequences for a running subscription are settled by the Terms of Sale.
5. Publication and search engines
A Bizleen card is public by nature. That is the very point of the Service: it is served at an address anyone who knows it can open, with no account and no password, and it is indexed by search engines. We actively work towards that indexing.
Everything you enter is therefore visible to everyone: your name, your activity, your address, your opening hours, your prices, and your phone number and email address if you choose to fill them in. This information can be read, copied, stored or reused by search engines, directories and third-party services over which we have no power. A page you take down may stay in their memory for a while.
You keep two controls, in your card's Settings screen, and they do different things:
- "Do not appear in search engines" removes your card from Google and other engines. It stays reachable by direct link: this is not a privacy lock, it is a de-indexing request, which engines take some time to apply.
- "Public card", switched off, unpublishes your card. It becomes a private prototype: you keep seeing and editing it, and only the demo link shown in the same screen gives access to it. To any other visitor, the address answers exactly like an address that does not exist. That link opens the card without a password: whoever receives it can pass it on. You can regenerate it at any time, which makes the old one stop working.
You are responsible for what you publish. It is up to you not to put on your card what you do not want to be public: publishing a personal number rather than a work number is a choice, and we cannot guess it for you. Nor can we obtain the removal of information a third party has already copied.
6. Intellectual property
A card can hold two things of a different nature: what you supply, and what Bizleen produces for you under the Business plan. They do not follow the same regime, and this article says which is which.
What you enter or supply
Your texts, your photographs, your logo, your contact details, your prices, your opening hours: they remain yours. You keep full ownership of them. You only grant us, for the lifetime of your account, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, strictly limited to what is needed to display your card and run the Service: hosting, resizing, laying out and serving your content, and preparing it for search engines.
That license allows us nothing else. We do not sell your content, we do not assign it, and we do not reuse it on another card. It ends with your account. You warrant that you hold the rights to what you publish, in particular the photographs and the trademarks shown in them.
What Bizleen produces under the Business plan
Under the Business plan we do not merely supply a tool: we write the descriptions, we produce the translations, and we match your photographs to dishes, products or services. That is work, and it is charged as such.
Bizleen remains the holder of this produced content. You have the benefit of it for the term of your Business subscription, for the purpose of displaying your card. When that subscription ends, its fate is set out in detail in article 9 of the Terms of Sale, which states what is suspended, what stays in place and what can be restored. Nothing is destroyed, and content you write yourself in its place belongs to you.
The multilingual function is a capability of the plan, like the other features it unlocks: the number of languages covered and the production of translations end with the plan that carried them. We claim no copyright over the output of a machine translation. What ends is access to the function, not ownership of a text.
Your photographs, in every case
Your photographs remain yours, without exception. Bizleen takes none and claims none. What belongs to our service is their association with a dish, a product or a service, that is to say the matching work, never the photograph itself. You can retrieve them and reuse them freely, including after your subscription ends.
The Service itself
Bizleen is a service operated by Dan Nutu EI. The Service (code, design, templates, Bizleen and MindVision Studio brands) remains the exclusive property of Dan Nutu EI. Your subscription opens a right to use it, not a right over the product.
7. Availability, search engines and limitation of liability
We commit to a best-efforts obligation on the availability of the Service: we do what is reasonably in our power to keep it running, without being able to guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, an incident, a failure of the host, of the network or of a third-party service can make a card temporarily unreachable.
The same best-efforts obligation applies to search engine visibility: we prepare and structure your content for search engines. No position, no ranking, no volume of visits, no number of enquiries and no commercial result are guaranteed. Those results depend on factors we do not control: search engine algorithms, competition, seasonality, and the quality and freshness of your own information. Nobody can seriously promise them, and we do not.
Accordingly, Dan Nutu EI is not liable for indirect losses arising from the use of the Service or from its unavailability, in particular loss of customers, loss of revenue, loss of opportunity, damage to reputation or any other commercial loss.
Where our liability is engaged, it is capped at the amounts you have actually paid us over the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to it. A free account having paid nothing, that cap is nil: this is the accepted counterpart of it being free.
This limitation has a limit, and we would rather write it than let you find it out: it does not apply to gross negligence or wilful misconduct, nor in cases where the law forbids limiting liability, in particular personal injury and the statutory warranties owed to consumers. We are not trying to answer for nothing: we are setting out what we answer for.
On your side, you remain responsible for the accuracy of what you publish, in particular prices, opening hours and allergens. We do not check your information and cannot answer for a data entry mistake.
8. Service modification
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service. In case of permanent discontinuation, we notify you by email at least thirty days in advance and provide an export of your data.
9. Closing your account
You can close your account from your Account page. So that a stolen session cannot destroy an account, deletion asks for your password and for your email address to be typed out.
While a paid subscription is running, deletion is refused. You must cancel it first, from your Billing area and under the conditions of article 6 of the Terms of Sale. Your account then becomes deletable.
This is not a technical constraint, it is a choice. Deleting an account and cancelling a subscription are two different decisions, and we prefer two clear steps to a deletion that would silently trigger an irreversible commercial decision. Nobody should lose a subscription without asking for it, nor keep being charged for an account that no longer exists.
Once deletion is confirmed, it is immediate and final. It takes your account, your cards and what is attached to them: published content, menus and services, photographs, logo, backgrounds, documents, view statistics, editor invitations and open sessions. Your public address becomes available to someone else. There is no bin and no grace period: we cannot restore a deleted account. Retrieve whatever you want to keep before you confirm.
Team member cards are deleted along with the account that carries them. That is the difference to know between cancelling and deleting: cancelling detaches them and leaves them online (article 9 of the Terms of Sale), deleting an account erases them, public addresses included. Tell your team before you confirm: their printed QR codes and the links sitting in their email signatures will stop answering.
A few records survive deletion where the law requires it, in particular the documents relating to your payments, which our accounting obligations require us to keep. The Privacy policy sets this out.
On our side, we may close your account in case of breach of these terms, with or without notice depending on severity.
10. Personal data
The processing of your personal data, the retention periods and how to exercise your rights are described in our Privacy policy.
11. Terms changes
These terms may be updated. We notify you by email of substantial changes. Continued use of the Service after notification means acceptance.
12. Applicable law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to the use of the Service is subject to the competent courts of the place of business of Dan Nutu EI (Chatou, 78400, France). If you are a consumer, you keep the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence.
