Terms of Use

Version: 2026.06.3 · Effective: 2026-06-16

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the BeAngler platform — the website beangler.com and its subdomains (including app.beangler.com), the BeAngler mobile applications, and related services (together, the "Service").

The Service is operated by Andrii Tokar, a registered sole proprietor (FOP — fizychna osoba-pidpryiemets) in Kharkiv, Ukraine ("BeAngler", "we", "us" or "our"). "BeAngler" is a brand owned by the operator.

By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. General

BeAngler is a digital platform for anglers, providing features such as water-body management, trip planning, gear tracking, catch logging, sessions, strategies, tournaments, events, teams and clubs, and community features.
Acceptance of these Terms is a mandatory condition of using the Service.
In these Terms: "you" and "your" mean the individual using the Service; "account" means your registered user account; "content" means any data, text, images, or other material you create, upload, or submit through the Service; "scope" means a personal, team, or club context within which content is held; and "public data" and "private data" have the meanings given in Section 4.
We may update these Terms in accordance with Section 11. The latest version always applies to your continued use of the Service.

2. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service.
By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 16 years old and that the information you provide (including your age) is accurate and complete. You are solely responsible for any false or inaccurate information you provide, including a false statement of age; to the extent permitted by law, BeAngler is not liable for any consequences arising from information you submit incorrectly. If we become aware that an account belongs to a person under 16, we will suspend and delete it.
Registration is by email. Each email address may be used for one account only.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly at support@beangler.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
You may not sell, transfer, or assign your account to any third party.

3. Subscription plans and payment

The Service offers a Free plan and paid plans: Pro Angler, Team, and Club, plus optional add-ons (for example, Waterbody Manager, Tournament Organizer, and capacity add-ons for teams and members). The plans, add-ons, prices, and currencies currently available are shown in the Service at the time of purchase.
Payments and Merchant of Record. Paid subscriptions are sold and processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle") as the Merchant of Record and authorized reseller. Paddle handles billing, payment methods, invoicing, and applicable taxes. Your purchase is therefore also subject to Paddle's buyer terms presented to you at checkout. We are not responsible for Paddle's services, and any payment dispute relating to billing, payment methods, or taxes should be raised with Paddle.
Free trials. Some plans may offer a free trial. Unless stated otherwise, a trial is limited to one per user, and no charge is made during the trial. If you cancel before the trial ends, you will not be charged; otherwise, the subscription converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial.
Auto-renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. You may cancel at any time in your account settings or through the Paddle customer portal. After cancellation, paid access continues until the end of the period already paid for, and no further charges are made.
Downgrade and end of a paid plan. When you downgrade, or when a paid subscription ends or is not renewed, we do not delete your data, but your access changes to match the plan you then hold:
- Plan limits. Where your data exceeds the limits of the lower plan, the data is preserved and remains viewable, but you cannot create new content of that type until you are within the limit again.
- Plan-gated features and entities. Any feature, tool, or entity that requires a higher plan than you currently hold — for example a club, a team, organizer tools, or other paid capabilities you created or used on a paid plan — becomes inactive and read-only. It is retained, but you may not use, manage, operate, or otherwise benefit from it, and other users cannot act through it, for as long as your plan does not include that feature. In other words, paid features and entities do not continue to function on a free or lower plan.
- Public content. Public content or visibility that depends on a feature no longer included in your plan may be set to private or hidden while your plan does not include that feature.
- Restoration. Subscribing again to a plan that includes the relevant feature restores full access to it. We do not provide paid features or paid-tier entities free of charge on a lower plan.
Refunds. Digital subscriptions are non-refundable except where a refund is required by applicable law (for example, the 14-day right of withdrawal for EU consumers, which may not apply once performance of the service has begun with your express consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose that right). Refunds, where due, are processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record in accordance with its policy.
Discounts and early cancellation. Discounts for longer billing periods (for example an annual plan) are granted on the condition that you complete the paid period. If you cancel before the end of a period you have prepaid, your access continues until the end of that period, but no refund is due. Where a refund is nonetheless granted or required by applicable law, the discount does not apply: the refund is calculated as the amount you paid minus the value of the period already used at the standard (non-discounted) rate for the plan, and is never less than zero. This does not apply where we discontinue a paid feature under Section 17.
Chargebacks and payment abuse. If you initiate an unjustified chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute after receiving access to paid features of the Service, or otherwise abuse the payment, refund, or free-trial mechanisms, we may suspend or restrict your account and your access to paid features until the matter is resolved, without prejudice to any other rights we or Paddle may have. A genuine billing dispute should first be raised with Paddle as Merchant of Record.

4. Your content and data

Private data is data that belongs solely to you and is deleted when you delete your account. It includes your profile (name, email, photo), payment information, settings, device data, authentication sessions, favorites, follows, and your private water bodies (private protection) together with all their data.
Public data is data that you have published or that forms part of public content. It is not deleted on account deletion but is anonymized (your link to it is replaced by an anonymous reference). It includes catches on public water bodies, results in public, team, or club competitions, bookings retained in the water-body owner's history, and support messages.
Team and club data belongs to the relevant team or club scope, not to you personally, and remains in that scope when you leave the team or club or delete your account.

5. Content license

You retain ownership of the content you create.
We store all content and data you save in the Service in order to provide the Service to you. To make this possible, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for technical purposes such as formatting and creating thumbnails), and display your content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service. This license ends when the relevant content is deleted, except for content that is retained in anonymized form or within a team or club scope as described in Section 4.
We display to other users, and may use for promotional purposes, only the data you have marked as public. Data you keep private is not shown to other users or used for promotion.

6. Account deletion

You may delete your account at any time. Deactivation takes effect immediately.
Personal data is permanently deleted 30 calendar days after you request deletion. Within those 30 days, you may restore your account by contacting support (support@beangler.com). After 30 days, restoration is no longer possible.
Public data (Section 4) is not deleted but anonymized; team and club data remains in its scope.
We may retain certain data after deletion where required to comply with a legal obligation, resolve disputes, or enforce these Terms, for as long as such retention is necessary.
You will receive an email confirming deletion, and a final email once permanent deletion is complete.

7. Intermediary role: water bodies, bookings, tournaments and events

Public water bodies are visible to all authenticated users; private water bodies are visible only to the owner and the members of the relevant scope.
The Service lets users offer and arrange activities with one another — including water-body access, bookings and rentals, tournaments, competitions, events, and similar offerings. These arrangements are made between users. BeAngler acts only as an intermediary and technology provider and is not a party to any booking, rental, tournament, event, or other arrangement between users, and does not organize, host, supervise, or control them.
The user who offers or organizes such an activity — for example a water-body owner, a tournament organizer, an event organizer, or a team or club owner — is solely responsible for it. This includes the accuracy of the information they publish; the safety, quality, availability, and lawful conduct of the activity; and obtaining and holding all permits, licenses, authorizations, consents, registrations, and tax and regulatory compliance required for what they offer. BeAngler does not verify ownership, permits, licenses, or any other documents or qualifications of such users.
Payments for these activities are arranged and settled by the users themselves, outside the Service. Unless a feature expressly states otherwise, BeAngler does not receive, hold, process, or transfer payments for water-body access, bookings, rentals, tournaments, events, or other user-to-user arrangements, and is not a payment intermediary for them. The paid subscriptions in Section 3 (processed by Paddle) are separate and are the only payments processed through the Service.
To the extent permitted by law, BeAngler does not guarantee, and is not responsible for, the quality, availability, accuracy, safety, or legality of any water body, activity, tournament, event, service, facility, or information provided by a user, nor for any dispute, loss, injury, or damage arising between users.

8. Teams and clubs

The owner of a team or club is responsible for managing it and for the conduct of its members within that scope.
A transfer of ownership requires the consent of both parties, confirmed by email verification.
Deleting a team or club is a soft delete; the data is retained for historical purposes.
Members may leave a team or club at any time.

9. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

You agree to use the Service lawfully and to treat other users with respect. You must not use the Service to engage in, and must not post, share, transmit, link to, or promote, any content or conduct that:

Hate, discrimination and harassment

promotes hatred, discrimination, hostility, or violence against a person or group based on race, ethnicity, national or social origin, citizenship, religion or belief, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, health condition, or any other protected characteristic;
harasses, bullies, intimidates, threatens, stalks, demeans, shames, or humiliates any person, or incites or coordinates others to do so;

Violence and dangerous content

threatens, incites, glorifies, or facilitates violence, self-harm, or harm to others;
promotes or facilitates terrorism, violent extremism, or organized criminal activity;

Sexual content and child safety

is sexually explicit or pornographic, or that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors in any way. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is strictly prohibited under a zero-tolerance policy and will be removed and reported to the competent authorities;

Illegal and harmful activity

is unlawful or promotes, facilitates, or instructs others in illegal activity;
promotes or facilitates illegal fishing, poaching, the taking of protected or endangered species, fishing in prohibited areas or closed seasons, cruelty to animals, or other breaches of fishing, wildlife, or environmental laws;
infringes the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of others — including "doxxing" or publishing another person's personal data without their consent;
impersonates any person or organization, or misrepresents your identity or affiliation;

Platform integrity and security

is spam, fraudulent, deceptive, a scam, phishing, or unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or solicitation;
contains malware, or attempts to hack, disrupt, overload, scrape without permission, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, its systems, or other users' data or accounts;
circumvents, or attempts to circumvent, moderation, bans, rate limits, or security measures.

Reporting. You can report content or behavior that violates these Terms using the in-app report option (where available), by blocking the user (where available), or by contacting support@beangler.com. We review reports and take appropriate action.

Enforcement. BeAngler is not responsible for content posted by users, but acts on reports of violations. At our discretion and in proportion to the violation, we may: issue a warning; remove, hide, or restrict content; limit features; temporarily suspend an account for a period we determine; and, for serious or repeated violations, permanently ban the account. We may also remove or disable access to any content, and limit or suspend access to the Service, at our discretion where we reasonably consider it necessary to protect the safety, security, integrity, or lawful operation of the Service or its users. Serious violations (for example CSAM or credible threats of violence) may be reported to law-enforcement authorities. The nature, scope, and duration of any measure are determined by BeAngler.

Notice and action. When we receive a sufficiently substantiated notice that content is illegal or breaches these Terms, we act on it without undue delay — for example by removing or disabling access to the content. Where required by applicable law, including the EU Digital Services Act, we inform the affected users of our decision and of the means available to contest it. Manifestly illegal content (for example CSAM) is removed upon detection and may be reported to the competent authorities.

10. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that it will meet your specific requirements.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms is limited, for all claims taken together, to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 50.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill.
No warranty as to data. To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that data stored in the Service will not be lost, corrupted, or temporarily unavailable, and we are not responsible for any such loss. You are responsible for keeping your own backup copies of any content that is important to you, using the export tools we provide where available.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or in respect of the mandatory consumer rights available to you under EU law and the GDPR.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the Service, in our business, or in applicable law.
When we do, you will be asked to accept the new version on your next login or reconnection. Continued use of the Service after you accept the updated Terms constitutes your agreement to them.
If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service and may delete your account. Changes do not apply retroactively to any dispute that arose before they took effect.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of Ukraine.
We will try to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation first. If a dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, it will be submitted to the courts at the operator's place of registration (Kharkiv, Ukraine), applying Ukrainian law.
This Section does not deprive you, if you are an EU consumer, of the protection of the mandatory provisions and the mandatory consumer rights available to you under the law of your country of residence.

13. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing the Service that is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, power or internet failures, or failures of third-party providers.

14. Third-party services

The Service may rely on, link to, or integrate with services provided by third parties (for example, Paddle for payments and our hosting providers). Your use of such services may be subject to their own terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not control their content or availability.

15. Intellectual property of BeAngler

All rights in the Service itself belong to BeAngler. This includes the BeAngler name, brand, logos, and trademarks; the software, source code, and APIs; the design, user interface, graphics, and visual elements; the structure and organization of the platform; the BeAngler databases and the selection and arrangement of their contents (excluding your own content); and any documentation and other materials we provide — together with all related intellectual-property rights worldwide.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose in accordance with these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, license, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from any part of the Service, nor use our name, brand, or logos, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or with our prior written consent. Content created and owned by users is governed by Sections 4 and 5, not by this Section.

16. Your responsibilities and indemnification

You are responsible for your use of the Service and for the content and information you provide, publish, or transmit through it, and for ensuring that they comply with these Terms and with applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BeAngler (the operator and, where applicable, its personnel and contractors) from and against any claims, demands, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and costs (including reasonable legal and attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law; (b) content you provide, publish, or transmit through the Service, including any infringement of the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, data-protection, or other rights of a third party; (c) any activity you offer, organize, or carry out through the Service, including water-body access, bookings, rentals, tournaments, or events; or (d) your misuse of the Service.
We may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us. This Section does not apply to the extent a loss is caused by our own intent or gross negligence, and it does not limit any mandatory rights you have as a consumer under applicable law.

17. Availability, modification and discontinuation of the Service

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee that it will be available at all times or without interruption. We may carry out maintenance, updates, and changes that temporarily affect availability.
We may, at our discretion, add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any of its features, plans, add-ons, or content, in whole or in part, at any time. Where a change is significant and adversely affects a paid feature you are then using, we will give reasonable prior notice by email or through the Service where practicable.
If we permanently discontinue the Service, or a paid feature, we will, where practicable, give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to export your data. Where a paid feature you have already paid for is discontinued before the end of the period paid for, your sole remedy is a pro-rata refund of the unused portion for that feature, processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record, except where applicable law requires otherwise. We are not otherwise liable to you for modifying or discontinuing the Service or any feature.

18. General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms expressly referred to in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement or understanding on that subject.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects its original intent.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, for example as part of a transfer of the BeAngler business, provided your rights are not adversely affected.
Notices. We may give you notices relating to these Terms by email to the address associated with your account or through the Service. You may contact us using the details in Section 20.
Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms — including Sections 4, 5, 10, 12, 15, 16, and 18 — continue to apply after your account is deleted or these Terms otherwise end.

19. Language

These Terms may be made available in more than one language. In the event of any conflict between language versions, the English version prevails, except where the law applicable to an EU consumer requires otherwise.
