Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-03-06

By using Veleiras ("the Service"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

Veleiras provides digital memorial pages. You can create a memorial for someone who has passed away, add photos and stories, and share it with family and friends through private links. You may also create your own memorial in advance ("Mode A").

2. Accounts

You need an account to create a memorial. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials and owner link secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

3. Content

You retain all rights to the content you upload (photos, stories, messages). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and deliver that content as part of the memorial functionality.

You agree not to upload content that:

  • Violates any law or regulation
  • Infringes on the rights of others
  • Contains malware or harmful code
  • Is abusive, hateful, or harassing
  • Is not related to memorialising a person
  • Uses fictitious, test, or clearly fake names (e.g., "Test", "asdf", celebrity or fictional names not belonging to the person being memorialised)

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms, though we will make reasonable efforts to contact the owner first.

Memorials created with fake, test, or fraudulent information — including fictitious names, placeholder text, or names of public figures not genuinely being memorialised — will be deleted without prior notice. Repeated violations may result in permanent account suspension.

4. Share links

Memorial access is controlled through share links. You are responsible for who you share these links with. We cannot control access once a link has been shared. If a link is compromised, you can regenerate it from the manage panel.

5. Forever Plan

The Forever Plan is a one-time payment that grants permanent access to all premium features. In the event of service discontinuation, we commit to providing at least 12 months advance notice and the ability to export all memorial data.

Right of withdrawal and refunds: Under EU consumer law, you have an unconditional right to withdraw from this purchase within 14 days of the date of contract conclusion, for any reason or no reason at all. To request a refund, contact us at hello@veleiras.com. We will reimburse the full amount using the same payment method within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal notice.

Waiver of withdrawal for immediate access: During checkout you may be offered the option to begin using premium features immediately. If you explicitly consent (by ticking the corresponding checkbox) and acknowledge that you thereby waive your 14-day right of withdrawal, the withdrawal right ceases to apply upon delivery of the digital content. This is in accordance with Article 16(m) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and § 18 Abs. 1 Z 11 FAGG (Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Transactions Act). If you do not tick that checkbox, your 14-day withdrawal right remains intact regardless of whether you use premium features.

6. Free tier

Free memorials include a memorial page, one photo, a candle, and private link access. There are no advertisements on free memorials. We do not and will not monetise free memorials through ads.

7. Availability

We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We perform regular backups and maintain redundant infrastructure, but are not liable for temporary unavailability or data loss beyond reasonable commercial efforts.

8. Termination

You may delete your memorial at any time from the manage panel. We may terminate accounts that violate these terms. In cases of termination, we will attempt to notify the owner via email with 30 days notice, except in cases of severe violations.

9. Liability

The Service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding any claim.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the European Union and the Republic of Austria. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Innsbruck, Austria.

11. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via email to memorial owners at least 30 days before taking effect. When updated terms take effect, you will be asked to review and re-accept them on your next login before continuing to use the Service. If you do not accept the updated terms, you may delete your account and request an export of your data.

12. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsbelehrung)

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the date of the contract conclusion.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us by means of a clear statement (e.g. an email to hello@veleiras.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract.

Consequences of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we receive the notification of your withdrawal. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction.

Exception for digital content: If you have expressly consented to the immediate execution of the contract and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, the right of withdrawal does not apply. This is in accordance with Article 16(m) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and § 18 Abs. 1 Z 11 FAGG (Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Transactions Act).

Server-side analytics: We collect aggregate visit statistics (total visits per country per day) on the server side. This does not involve any cookies, does not identify individual visitors, and does not constitute tracking under the ePrivacy Directive.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking service.
