Terms of Use

Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself and give us accurate information — invoices are documents with legal weight, and what you enter ends up on them. You are responsible for activity under your account. If we detect a security problem, we may suspend access to protect your data.

Everything you put into Spoonbill — your business profile, clients, invoices — remains yours. You grant us the limited right to host, process, transmit and display this data solely to operate the Service: to render your invoices, email them to your clients on your instruction, and show you your own dashboard. We do not use your content for advertising, do not sell it, and do not use it to train AI models.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of the content you enter and for having the right to use your clients’ contact details for invoicing.

Spoonbill is not an archive. You can export invoice PDFs at any time; where the law requires you to retain business records, keep your own copies.

Spoonbill helps you create invoices and applies the tax rules you configure (for example German VAT or the §19 UStG small-business scheme). This is tooling, not tax or legal advice. You are responsible for the correctness and completeness of your invoices and for your statutory duties — including retention obligations for issued invoices.

Current pricing is shown on this website. We may change features and prices; if we introduce or increase fees that affect you, we will announce it in advance — nothing you already use will silently start costing money.

Don’t abuse the Service. In particular, you must not:

• use it unlawfully, or send invoices and emails you are not entitled to send (spam),
• interfere with or overload the Service, or circumvent its security measures,
• access it through unofficial interfaces or scrape it,
• reverse engineer it, except where the law permits,
• misrepresent your identity.

We may suspend or restrict access to protect the Service and its users while a violation is investigated.

Spoonbill evolves: features may be added, changed or removed. If we ever discontinue the Service or a major part of it, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a window to export your data before it is deleted.

You can stop using Spoonbill and delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access if you materially breach these terms or if we are legally required to; where reasonable, we will notify you first. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as liability and applicable law) survive.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Your statutory rights — including warranty rights that cannot be excluded — remain unaffected.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under mandatory statutory liability rules (such as product liability law).

For slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations — obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely — and only up to the damage that is typical and foreseeable for this kind of service. Any further liability is excluded.

If you use the Service in the course of your business and a third party raises claims against us because of your content or your breach of these terms, you will indemnify us against those claims, including reasonable costs of legal defence — unless you are not responsible for the breach.

These terms are governed by the law of Portugal, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected. If you act as a business, the courts at our seat in Porto, Portugal have exclusive jurisdiction.

We may update these terms. For material changes we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect; if you continue using the Service afterwards, the updated terms apply. If a provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remains in force.
