Terms of service

These terms are the agreement between you and Kiznis Studio, the operator of victano.com, which this document calls "we". Using Victano means accepting them. Victano is free during the beta: nothing is charged and no contract for paid service exists.

What Victano does

Victano is an MCP server. You connect it to an AI assistant, and that assistant gets tools to search, read and qualify public procurement notices and grant calls, matched against a capability profile for your company.

We aggregate PUBLIC records published by contracting authorities. We are not a party to any procurement, we do not submit anything on your behalf, and we have no relationship with the buyers whose notices we index.

The beta

Victano is in beta. During the beta the service is free and nothing is charged. Payments are not switched on and using the service does not create a payment obligation.

The beta has published end conditions rather than an open-ended horizon.

What we do not promise about the data

This is the part worth reading twice.

The notices come from public sources that we read on a schedule. Every tool response carries a data_as_of timestamp, and the coverage page at https://victano.com/coverage says when each source last reported. We tell you how fresh the data is so that you can judge it; we do not warrant that it is complete, current, or correctly interpreted.

Deadlines, thresholds and eligibility conditions are reproduced from the source notice and may be wrong there, may be amended after we read them, or may not mean what a summary suggests. Before you rely on any of it for a bid, check the buyer's own notice. We link to it for that reason.

We do not offer a service level agreement, an uptime guarantee, or a guaranteed freshness interval. If we ever offer one it will be a separate published commitment.

Your account

Keep your API key secret. Anything done with it is treated as done by you. Tell us at hello@victano.com if it is exposed and we will revoke it.

One account is for one organisation. Do not share access outside it.

Acceptable use

The acceptable use policy at https://victano.com/legal/acceptable-use forms part of these terms. In short: use the service as a working tool, not as a way to extract the corpus.

What we may do

We may change, suspend or withdraw features. Material changes are announced on this page with the date of the change, rather than by quietly replacing it. We may suspend an account that breaches these terms or that threatens the service for anyone else, and we will say why.

Ending it

You may stop at any time. Deleting your account erases it and everything attached, and that is irreversible. We may close an account with reasonable notice, except where a breach requires acting sooner.

Liability

We provide the service with reasonable skill and care. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profit, lost contracts, lost opportunity, or any loss arising from a bid you did or did not make. Our total liability in any twelve-month period is limited to what you paid us in that period, and during the beta that is nothing.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Intellectual property

The underlying notices are public records and we claim nothing over them. The service, its interfaces, its workflow prompts and its documentation are ours.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Lithuania, and disputes go to the courts of Lithuania. If you are a consumer you may also bring proceedings where you live.

Changes to these terms

Material changes are announced on this page with the date of the change, rather than by quietly replacing it. If a change materially reduces what you get, we will say so plainly rather than relying on you noticing.
