Founding Customer terms

Last updated: 1 May 2026.

These terms govern the €99 Founding Customer reservation for Article26 (the “Reservation”). By completing checkout you agree to them. A copy of these terms, with your order details, will be emailed to you as the Founding Customer Agreement.

1. What you are paying for

The Reservation is a one-time payment, not a subscription. It secures one of fifty (50) Founding Customer spots. It does not, by itself, grant access to a working product before launch.

2. What you receive at launch

• €99 credited toward your first subscription invoice on the tier you choose.
• A 50% discount on your subscription for the first twelve (12) months (for example, €40/month instead of €79/month on the ≤25-employee tier).
• First access to the product on the launch date (target 15 July 2026).
• A direct support channel to the founders during onboarding.

3. Refunds

The Reservation is fully refundable at any time before the launch date. It is also fully refundable at any time after the launch date if we materially fail to ship a working product by then. To request a refund, email sales@article26.eu from the address you used at checkout. Refunds are issued via Stripe to the original payment method, typically within 5–10 working days.

4. Launch date

The target launch date is 15 July 2026. We will give you written notice if that date slips. Under clause 3, you may request a refund in that event with no questions asked.

5. No legal advice

Article26 produces audit-defensible evidence and workflow. It is not legal advice and we are not your lawyers. For binding advice on the EU AI Act, consult qualified counsel in your jurisdiction.

6. Consumer rights

These terms do not exclude any non-waivable rights you may have under EU or national consumer-protection law. If you are a consumer (rather than a business), the 14-day statutory withdrawal right under the EU Consumer Rights Directive applies in addition to the refund right above.

7. Data

Personal data is processed as described in our privacy policy. Payment data is processed by Stripe under its own terms.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by [Jurisdiction — to be confirmed], without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
