Terms

About these terms

These terms apply to your use of Junto at junto.cards, provided by Mücahit Gürbüz, Südostallee 120, 12487 Berlin, Deutschland (“we”). Contact: hallo@junto.cards.

In short: you can make a group card for free. Paid plans and printed books are explained below, with prices including VAT. You are responsible for what you write and upload. If a digital card does not make you happy, you get your money back within 14 days of delivery.

You accept these terms when you create a card, contribute to one or place an order. Other terms of yours do not apply. How we handle your data is explained in our privacy policy.

How Junto works

The organizer creates a group card and shares its link. Contributors open the link and write a message, and can add a photo if the organizer allows photos. Contributors need no account: their browser gets an anonymous session.

The organizer delivers the card to the recipient by link, QR code or scheduled email. The recipient can post one thank-you reply, which contributors can see.

An organizer account is optional. With an email address, confirmed by a 6-digit code, or with Google or Apple sign-in, you keep access to your cards on other devices.

Who may use Junto

To order a paid plan or a printed book, you must have full legal capacity. Children take part through a parent, educator or teacher, for example with a drawing.

You may add data about other people, such as the recipient's name or a photo, only if you are allowed to.

Order and contract

Before you buy, you see the plan or book, what it includes, the total price and any shipping costs. You can correct your entries at any time before you place the order. By clicking the order button you make a binding offer. The contract is concluded when we confirm the order by email or deliver the service.

We send you the contract details, these terms and the information on your right of withdrawal by email. You can also view these terms on this page at any time. The contract languages are German, English, Spanish and Turkish.

Plans and prices

• Free: up to 10 messages per card, with a “Made with Junto” mark.

• Card: €5.90 per card.

• Card Plus: €9.90 per card.

• Printed book: from €39.90 including shipping within Germany and Austria. During the test phase, books can be pre-ordered for €34.90.

• Team: €149 per year. [To verify: term and renewal of the Team plan; if it renews automatically, add the cancellation button under §312k BGB.]

The order page shows what each plan includes before you buy. All prices are final prices including VAT. [If applicable: Under §19 UStG, no VAT is charged.] In Turkey, prices are shown and charged in Turkish lira (TRY).

We may change features and limits of the free plan for valid reasons, such as security or the law. We do not reduce what you have already paid for.

Payment

Payment is processed by Stripe. The checkout shows the available payment methods. The price is due when you order. Stripe's terms apply to the payment itself.

Love-it guarantee

If you are not happy with a paid digital plan (Card, Card Plus or Team), you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of the card's delivery with one click. We refund the full price to the original payment method.

This guarantee is voluntary and comes in addition to your statutory rights, including your right of withdrawal and your rights if something is defective. It does not apply to printed books, which are made for you.

Right of withdrawal

As a consumer you generally have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days. The full information and the model withdrawal form are on our withdrawal page.

For digital plans, the right of withdrawal ends when we start providing the plan, if you expressly agreed to that start before the end of the withdrawal period and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (§356(5) BGB). We confirm this to you by email.

There is no right of withdrawal for printed books, because each book is made to your specifications and clearly personalized (§312g(2) No. 1 BGB).

Printed books

Our printing partner prints the book from the card's content and ships it to the address you give. We ship within Germany and Austria. The order page shows the expected delivery time. [To verify: delivery times.]

Before you order, check the preview. The book is printed as it appears there, so we cannot correct typing errors in messages afterwards.

Pre-orders during the test phase are delivered once printing starts. We tell you the expected date when you order. If we cannot deliver, we refund the full price.

If a book arrives damaged or has a printing defect, tell us within a reasonable time, ideally with a photo. Your statutory warranty rights apply.

Gift money

An organizer can add a note with a link to collect gift money, for example a payment link. This is free text. Junto does not collect, hold or pass on this money and is not a party to these payments. Check who you send money to.

Your content

Your messages and photos stay yours. You give us a free, non-exclusive right to store, copy, adapt for display and print, and show your content to the organizer, the recipient and the people who have the card link, only as far as needed to run Junto. For printed books this includes printing. The right ends when the content or the card is deleted.

You confirm that you have the rights to what you upload, and that the people shown in a photo, or their parents or guardians, agreed.

Content rules

You are responsible for what you write and upload. Do not use Junto to break the law or harm others. In particular, do not:

• post unlawful content, or content that insults, threatens, harasses or discriminates against anyone;

• post content that sexualizes, abuses or endangers children;

• upload photos of people who did not agree, or of children without their parents' or guardians' consent;

• infringe the copyright or other rights of others;

• send spam or advertising, or collect data about other users;

• attack, overload or probe Junto, get around limits or bot protection, or access it by automated means.

Reports, moderation and removal

Organizers can hide messages on their card. Anyone who sees a card can report a message or photo with the report button, or write to hallo@junto.cards. Please explain why the content is unlawful or breaks these terms, and where it is.

We review reports promptly and decide carefully, objectively and without arbitrariness. We may hide or remove content, limit features, or block access to a card or an account. We take your legitimate interests into account and choose a fair step.

If we remove or restrict your content, we tell you the reason, if we can reach you, and you can ask us to review the decision. If someone reports content, we tell them what we decided. We report content to the authorities where the law requires it.

Writing help with AI

“Write one for me” suggests a message with the help of AI. A suggestion can be unsuitable or wrong. Read it before you post it. Once you post it, it is your message.

Availability and your copies

We work to keep Junto available, but we do not promise that it will always be available or free of errors. Maintenance, faults at our providers and network problems can interrupt it.

Messages and photos are deleted 24 months after delivery. Junto is not an archive. If you want to keep a card, export it from your account page or order a printed book in time.

Liability

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and where we gave a guarantee or fraudulently concealed a defect.

For slight negligence we are liable only if we breach an essential obligation. An essential obligation is one that makes proper use of Junto possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely. In that case our liability is limited to the damage that was foreseeable and typical when the contract was made. Otherwise we are not liable for slight negligence.

These rules also apply to the personal liability of people we use to perform our obligations. If data is lost, we take into account whether you kept reasonable copies (§254 BGB). Your statutory warranty rights stay unaffected.

Ending your use

You can delete a card or your account at any time. Deleting removes the content as described in our privacy policy.

We can block a card or an account for an important reason, in particular a serious or repeated breach of these terms or the law. If you paid for a plan and we end it without such a reason, we refund the part you have not used.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for a valid reason, such as a change in the law, new features or security. Changes do not apply to orders you have already placed. If you have an account, we tell you about changes by email at least 6 weeks before they apply. Changes to the main obligations of either side need your agreement.

Law and courts

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the courts at our place of business have exclusive jurisdiction. Otherwise the courts named by law have jurisdiction. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.

Language and validity

These terms exist in German, English, Spanish and Turkish. If the versions differ, the German version prevails for users in Germany and the English version for everyone else, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.

If a clause is invalid, the rest of these terms stays valid, and the law applies in place of the invalid clause.
