By using the website bebber.com, offered by Blanx effects interactive GmbH, Bismarckstr. 17, 50672 Cologne, Germany, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. Below, the website and the company will be referred to as "bebber".
1. Your Data
bebber lets you attach text, images, video, audio and PDF files of up to 100 MB each to a QR code or a link. No recipient address is needed: whoever scans the code or opens the link sees the content. If you are not logged in, you give us your own email address so we can send you the edit link — that link is the only way back into content created without an account.
Your content stays where you put it, and you can change it at any time without reprinting the code. We store your email address and the IP address you created from in encrypted form. The content itself is stored so that it can be served: anyone holding the code or the link can view and forward it, and we do not control how those links travel. Uploaded material is not scanned for viruses or other malware. You are solely responsible for the content you upload and share.
By using our services you make your content available to us for one purpose only — running the service. We acquire no ownership of it and no right to use it beyond storing it, serving it to people who open your code, and creating the previews and QR images the service needs. We never use your content to train machine-learning models.
bebber does not provide any public search function, catalogue or listing to find content of bebber.
2. Business model
The core functionality of bebber is free and needs no registration. Paid Pro and Business subscriptions add optional extras — larger limits, analytics export, webhooks, API access, lead capture and form building. Subscriptions are sold through our payment provider polar.sh, which acts as merchant of record; the tiers and their current prices are listed on our pricing page.
3. Restrictions
bebber respects your rights and expects that you respect those of others. This includes respecting the right to privacy, corporate intelligence, business secrets and intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, copyrights, trade names and logos.

4. Violation of the Terms of Service
bebber reserves the right to investigate, provide to third parties, (temporarily) block and/or permanently delete from its servers, without prior notice or liability, any Content and/or accounts or to block anyone from accessing any part of the Services, when bebber ascertains, at its sole discretion or after receiving substantiated and valid complaints, that you breach these Terms or act in violation of any applicable law or regulation. More information is available in our Notice and Takedown Policy.
5. Intellectual property rights
All intellectual property rights and/or similar rights on the Services (including the software content, photography, graphic design, typography, portraits, logos, trademarks, trade names, domain names, copyrights and patents) are licensed by bebber and/or its licensors and you are not allowed to use, remove, modify, copy, mirror, distribute, decompile, or reverse engineer any of it in any way.
bebber is not responsible or liable for third party content published within the Services, in-ad links to external websites or the content, products or services offered on external websites. You acknowledge and accept that all use outside the Services is at your own risk.
You will always respect and observe the good name and reputation of bebber and ensure that your use of the Services will in no way prejudice any rights and/or the good name and reputation of bebber and its licensors.
6. Legal Claim
A claim to use our services only arises in the context of the premium version, subject to server capacities and the internet capabilities of the sender and the recipient.
For reasons of capacity, and due to factors outside of bebber's control, bebber cannot guarantee that the files will reach the recipient at a particular time. Similarly, it is not bebber's responsibility that the files will be transmitted completely — users should create a backup copy and ask the recipient to determine whether he has in fact received them as intended.
7. Obligations of the User
The user is and remains responsible for contents that he shares via bebber. He undertakes to comply with bebber's terms and conditions. In particular, he undertakes not to share via bebber any contents that are illegal or inflict loss on third parties (e.g. pirated copies, Trojans, viruses, or worms). He undertakes to comply with any rules relating to data protection and copyright. He assures us that he is entitled to use (e.g. to copy) the contents that he shares via bebber. He assures us that the recipient of the e-mail has consented to receiving it. He undertakes not to use any programmes or bots that affect or could affect the uploading process. We reserve the right to delete the contents shared by the user via bebber, or to exclude him from using bebber services any longer, if he fails to comply with these obligations.
Moreover, bebber remains the sole owner of the services, all (brand) names and copyright. bebber respects the property rights and copyright of its users and therefore expects its users to do the same. If bebber learns of any violations of its property rights or copyright, these violations may be prosecuted or otherwise pursued.
8. Data Protection
Your email address is given voluntarily, handled confidentially, and stored encrypted. We pass it to no one except the providers we need to run the service, each of them named in our Privacy Policy.
Content is stored persistently, not on a timer. It stays available until you delete it, until an expiry date you set yourself is reached, or until we remove it under section 4. Two deletion paths are always open to you: the edit link that came with a code deletes that code, and account holders can delete their whole account — including every code, file and record attached to it — from Account → Settings. Account holders can also download their own data as a file from the same page.
You can request deletion at any time by writing to info@bebber.com. Scan statistics, submissions collected through your pages, and other records are deleted on the retention schedule set out in the Privacy Policy.
9. Liability
bebber is only liable for intentional or grossly negligent conduct by bebber, its agents and/or its representatives.
Liability for (lesser forms of) negligence can only be accepted with regard to the essential duties under the contract. In the case of an (in this sense) negligent breach of contract, bebber's liability is limited, with regard to economic loss, to reasonably foreseeable losses typical in this kind of contract. Beyond this, liability for (lesser forms of) negligence is excluded.
Any statutory strict liability, in particular under the Product Liability Act, as well as any statutory liability for guarantees, remains unaffected by the exclusion clauses above. The same applies to any liability that bebber may incur through any culpable violation of a user's life, body or health.
10. Indemnification
The user will indemnify bebber against any claims brought by third parties as a result of a violation of the obligations under number 4, and will bear the cost that bebber incurs as a result (e.g. payments that were necessary for the appropriate prosecution or defence).
11. Forum / Choice of Law
bebber and its users undertake to first seek an amicable settlement where any conflicts occur. Before the user brings a claim or otherwise turns to legal measures, we would ask him to contact us directly. We undertake to promptly work on a solution to the problem and to help the user so that he can keep using the services to the extent desired.
If it should nevertheless be inevitable for the user to want to invoke a court's assistance, the following will apply:
The forum for all disputes arising from the contract between the user and bebber is the service provider's location, insofar as the user is a merchant, a legal person under public law, or a special fund under public law.
The legal system of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the contract between the supplier and the user. Exceptions to this choice of law are the mandatory consumer protection laws in place in the user's ordinary country of residence. The UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods is excluded.
12. Changes
We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time.
13. Contact
