Terms

1. Who operates Berth

Alexandros Chiotis (operating as an individual — Berth has not yet incorporated a formal business entity) ("we", "us", "Berth").

[Review: operator identity copied from Privacy. Confirm still accurate.]

2. What Berth is

Berth places you in a small, permanent group of founders at your exact stage. One weekly rhythm. No calls, no strangers, no noise.

Berth is a mechanism, not a directory.

Four questions in. A crew for as long as you keep showing up.

Beta is open. Seats are small on purpose.

[Review: these lines are landing copy, not a contract definition. “Permanent” is qualified by going quiet / rematch below.]

3. Eligibility

Berth is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

[Review: 18+ copied from Privacy. Confirm as a term of use, not only a privacy statement.]

4. Account

You create an account with email or OAuth (Google or GitHub). By creating an account you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

You can export a copy of your data or delete your account. If you delete your account, we delete your profile, group membership, commitments, and reports within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records longer.

[Review: clickwrap-by-account-creation, and the 30-day deletion window copied from Privacy.]

5. Matching

Onboard: stage, what you're building, timezone. That's it — one thing done well.

Get placed into an existing crew of 4–6 at your stage. Geography is a soft signal, never a filter.

We'll auto-place you when a same-stage crew has a seat, or when four or more people at your stage are looking. A founder can also seat you from Admin.

[Review: matching copy from How it works and the Log looking state. Not a guarantee of placement timing.]

6. Weekly rhythm

Monday, commit. Friday, report — visible to your crew. One commitment on Monday, one report on Friday.

100% async. No calls. Crew Chat sits quietly alongside for the odd question. Crew Chat is closed, crew-only — never a directory.

7. Going quiet

Go quiet for a month and you're swapped out for someone actively looking. Drop to one person and your crew merges with an open seat.

[Review: landing copy quotes “a month”. Backend reap_inactive_members() uses 8 weeks. Pick one before launch.]

8. Report and support

Report and Support sit side by side — reviewed case by case, never automated away.

Casual language and profanity are not policed. Genuinely malicious conduct — including in Crew Chat — is reviewed case by case.

Report: submit a report about crew conduct. Support: send a bug, question, or complaint.

[Review: “never automated away” and the conduct standard are UI copy. Confirm as an operational commitment.]

9. Changing focus

Change stage, what you're building, or timezone. You'll leave your current crew and we'll rematch you.
