Terms of Service

Waitlist terms. These are the Terms of Service that apply to the waitlist and to the beta that opens in Q3 2026. They are written in plain language. They are not legal advice.

1. Who we are

1.1. SpamBounty is a trading name of Block Ventures Sp. z o.o., a Polish limited-liability company with its registered office at Rudolfa Zaręby 50 / 70, 43-100 Tychy, Poland. KRS 0000810986. NIP 6462979837. REGON 384730063.

1.2. We are a technology operator. We are not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. Anything on the site is general information about the GDPR.

2. What these Terms cover

2.1. These Terms govern your use of the SpamBounty waitlist and, from Q3 2026, your use of the beta platform. When you sign up, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. The version in effect at that time is recorded alongside your acceptance.

2.2. If we make material changes, we bump the version and notify you. You will be asked to re-accept on your next sign-in. You may withdraw at any point.

3. What the platform does

3.1. The platform helps you exercise rights you already have under the GDPR. Specifically, it helps you:

  • Identify the sender of an unwanted commercial email.
  • Prepare a correct Article 15 GDPR access request in your name.
  • Track the statutory 30-day response window.
  • Prepare a pre-filing letter if the sender ignores the request.
  • Prepare a ready-to-file small-claims court document if you choose to file.
  • Hold settlement funds in escrow and release them to you, if a sender settles through the platform.

3.2. Every outgoing action is approved by you. The platform does not send any letter, accept any settlement, or file any court document on its own.

4. Fees

4.1. Free to sign up and free to use. You pay nothing to register, nothing to send GDPR requests, nothing to send pre-filing letters, and nothing to generate court filings.

4.2. Our only fee is 20% of settlements paid through our escrow, capped at €40 per case. When a sender settles with you through the platform and you release the escrow, we take 20% of the released amount, up to a maximum of €40 per case. The rest goes to you.

4.3. We do not take a cut of court awards. If you file in small-claims court and the court rules for you, the judgment goes directly from the sender to you. Court fees go to the court, not to us.

4.4. If the sender simply complies, we earn nothing. You pay nothing, no money changes hands, the spam stops. This is the outcome we want.

4.5. No subscription, no premium tier, no hidden fees. The 20% capped fee is the only charge we ever apply.

5. Escrow and verification

5.1. If a sender offers a settlement through the platform and you accept, the sender transfers the funds to an escrow account operated by the platform.

5.2. When the funds arrive, a 7-day verification window begins. During this window you confirm that the sender has actually deleted the data you requested erasure of and has actually stopped contacting you.

5.3. At the end of the verification window, if you release the escrow, the platform deducts the fee under Clause 4.2 and transfers the remainder to you. If you reject the settlement (for example because the sender has not actually stopped), the platform returns the funds to the sender and the case continues.

6. Your control

6.1. Every step requires your approval. You may edit any letter, adjust any claim figure, or drop any case at any time, for any reason, at no cost.

6.2. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle account deletion.

7. Acceptable use

7.1. Do not submit emails from senders with whom you have a prior commercial relationship, an opt-in subscription, or any other lawful basis for contact. The tool is designed to help with unlawful processing, not to interfere with lawful correspondence.

7.2. Do not use the platform to harass, defame, or deliberately waste a sender's resources. The goal is to exercise your GDPR rights in a proportionate and good-faith way.

7.3. If we discover repeated misuse, we may close your account and refuse service.

8. Disclaimers

8.1. We provide the platform on an "as-is" basis. We work to keep it reliable but we do not guarantee any specific outcome on any specific case. Courts and senders are independent of us.

8.2. Nothing on the platform, on the website, or in any template we provide is legal advice. If you need advice tailored to your situation, consult a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction.

9. Liability

9.1. To the maximum extent permitted by Polish law, our aggregate liability to you under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the sum of fees we have actually received from you under Clause 4.2 in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

9.2. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited under Polish or EU consumer law.

10. Governing law and disputes

10.1. These Terms are governed by Polish law.

10.2. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms is subject to the jurisdiction of the competent Polish court for the registered seat of Block Ventures Sp. z o.o., without prejudice to your mandatory consumer protections under the law of your habitual residence.

11. Changes to these Terms

11.1. When we make material changes, we bump the version, update the effective date, and notify confirmed users. You may accept the new version or withdraw.

11.2. The current version and effective date are displayed at the top of this document.
