Terms of Service

Last updated: 31.08.2026

This is the agreement between you and Tabaway for using the service during its public beta. It's meant to be plain and honest rather than dense legal boilerplate — read it, it's short. (Looking for how your data is handled instead? See the Privacy Policy.)

This is a beta

Tabaway is in active public beta. That means, specifically:

Features can change, break, or be removed with little or no notice.
The service can go down, sometimes without warning, for maintenance or because something broke.
We don't guarantee any particular level of uptime, performance, or availability during the beta.
Beta accounts are currently free. If and when paid tiers launch, existing beta accounts will be notified in advance of any change that affects them — you won't be silently switched to a paid plan.

Your data is your responsibility to back up

We take reasonable care of your data, but we can't promise it will never be lost, corrupted, or become unavailable — that's true of any beta software, and especially true of one built and run by a single person rather than a large team. Because of that, backing up your own data is on you, not us — and we've made that as easy as we can:

Your Account page has a one-click "Export everything" button that downloads every board you belong to — tabs, notes, tags, and archived pages — as a single ZIP file, no technical setup required.
The same export can be automated: your API token works as a Bearer token for a scripted/scheduled backup, so you can back up on your own schedule without ever opening the app.
Individual boards can also be exported on their own as plain CSV, if that's all you need.

If something goes wrong and you didn't export recently, we'll do what we reasonably can to help — but we can't guarantee recovery of anything that wasn't backed up.

No warranty

Tabaway is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We don't guarantee it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Nothing here is intended to exclude any liability that can't lawfully be excluded where you live.

Your account

You're responsible for keeping your password secure, and for anything that happens under your account.
Don't use Tabaway for anything illegal, to store or share content you don't have the right to, or in a way that disrupts the service for others.
We can suspend or terminate an account that abuses the service, without prior notice if the situation warrants it.
You can delete your own account and data at any time from the Account page.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the beta develops. If a change is significant, we'll make a reasonable effort to let existing users know (e.g. by email or an in-app notice) rather than changing them silently.

Who to contact

Questions about these terms, or anything else: reach out via the feedback forum, or through the contact details on your account.

Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. This section, like the rest of this document, isn't a substitute for advice from an actual lawyer — it reflects where Tabaway is currently based and run from.

Age

You must be old enough to legally consent to an online service like this one where you live (in the EU, this is generally 16, though it can be lower depending on your country) to create a Tabaway account.
