Terms

These terms apply when you use foundercal or make an account. They are short on purpose. Version of 10 November 2026.

Who runs foundercal

Lukas von Kunhardt, Berlin, Germany, runs foundercal. Details are in the imprint. The service is free. Data use is described in the privacy policy.

Your account

An account belongs to one person. Use your real name and an email address that you control. We can close an account that breaks these terms.

What you post

You may post events, a profile, a one-line description and a link to your startup. You must have the right to post them. They must be true. They must not be advertising for something else.

We can edit, unlist or remove an event or a profile. We keep foundercal useful for founders, and this is part of that work.

What we do with it

We show your content on the site, in the weekly digest, in calendar feeds and through the API. You keep all rights to your content.

Organizer pages and claims

A claim says that you run these events. If a claim is false, we end the account.

Events are run by their organizers

Organizers run the events. foundercal is not a party to them. A listing on foundercal gives you no right to enter an event. If you mark that you are going, this is not a sign-up with the host.

Contact with other founders

Do not send advertising or mass messages. We can limit or block contact features for an account.

The API and agents

Fair use applies to the API and to automated access. Respect the limits in the documentation. When you use our data, cite foundercal with a link. A token, when tokens exist, belongs to one account. You are responsible for its use.

No warranty, liability

Event data can be wrong or out of date. Check with the organizer before you travel. We give no warranty for the data.

We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are liable only if we breach an essential duty, and only for the damage we could foresee. Other liability is excluded as far as German law allows. Mandatory statutory liability is not affected.

Changes to the terms

We can change these terms. The version date above shows the current text. If a change is material, we tell signed-in users by email. If you keep using foundercal, the new terms apply.

German law

German law applies. Mandatory consumer rules of your home country stay in force. Questions go to [email protected].
