Terms of service

Last updated: 24 July 2026 · nuvelo and Nuvelo.net are trading names of Nuvelo Reservations Ltd (company no. 17350115), Monomark House, 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX, United Kingdom

These terms form a subscription agreement between nuvelo ("we", "us", "the Provider") and the venue that registers for the service ("you", "the Customer"). nuvelo and Nuvelo.net are trading names of Nuvelo Reservations Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17350115. By creating an account, starting a trial, or taking bookings through nuvelo, you agree to these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a business, you confirm you are authorised to bind that business.

1. Definitions

  • Service — the nuvelo booking, deposit, payment and guest-management platform provided at nuvelo.net and related subdomains.
  • Authorised Users — your staff and contractors you permit to use the Service for your venue.
  • Customer Data — the data you or your Authorised Users submit to, or generate through, the Service, including your guests' personal data.
  • Fees — the subscription fees for your plan, as shown at sign-up and on our pricing page.
  • Personal Data, controller, processor, data subject and processing have the meanings given in the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. The service

nuvelo provides booking, deposit and guest-management tools for hospitality venues. We provide the Service on a reasonable-efforts basis and use commercially reasonable endeavours to keep it available, except during planned or emergency maintenance and matters outside our control. We may improve, modify or add features over time, provided we do not materially reduce the core functionality of your plan. During any demo, trial or beta period the Service is provided "as is".

3. Accounts and authorised users

You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account, and must keep passwords safe, enable two-factor authentication where offered, and tell us promptly of any unauthorised use. You must not permit anyone other than your Authorised Users to access the Service, and you are responsible for their compliance with these terms.

4. Licence and acceptable use

Subject to these terms and payment of the Fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, for the duration of your subscription, to access and use the Service for your venue's internal business purposes. You must not, and must ensure your Authorised Users do not:

  • upload or transmit anything unlawful, harmful, malicious or infringing, or any viruses or malware;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems, or disrupt, overload or interfere with it or other users;
  • copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, sublicense or create derivative works from the Service, except as allowed by law;
  • use the Service to build a competing product, to benchmark it, or to send unlawful, spam or misleading messages;
  • use the Service in breach of any applicable law, regulation or third-party right.

We may suspend accounts that breach this section.

5. Plans, fees and payment

  • Plans are Starter, Pro and Complete, billed per venue per month, with a free trial. Prices are as shown at sign-up and on our pricing page, and are exclusive of VAT where it applies.
  • Fees are payable in advance and collected by our billing provider (Stripe). Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
  • You can cancel at any time; your access continues to the end of the paid period. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
  • If a payment fails, we may suspend access until it is resolved. We may change Fees for a renewal period by giving you reasonable prior notice (at least 30 days).
  • Text (SMS) fair use. Paid plans include a monthly fair-use text allowance per venue that varies by plan (currently 400 texts on Pro and 500 on Complete per calendar month), where both sent and received messages count toward the allowance (a trial has a smaller allowance). Once the allowance is used, we send confirmations by email instead at no extra charge — unless you have switched on the optional paid overage in your settings, in which case further texts (sent or received) continue and are billed at the per-text price shown in your settings (8p per text at the date of these terms). Bulk marketing texts are a separate opt-in feature billed per message, with the price and total shown before you send. Per-text prices may change on reasonable notice.

6. Guest payments

Guest deposits, order payments and other guest charges go directly to your own Stripe or Square account — nuvelo never holds guest money and is not a party to the payment between you and your guest. You are responsible for the refunds and charges you authorise, and for meeting your obligations to guests (including under the Tips Act and any tronc arrangements). Your use of Stripe or Square is also governed by their own terms.

7. Your responsibilities as a venue

  • You are the controller of your guests' personal data and must have a lawful basis to collect and use it, including for any marketing you send through nuvelo.
  • You must honour the booking, deposit and cancellation terms you publish to guests, and comply with consumer, food-safety, licensing and other applicable law.
  • You must not use nuvelo to send unlawful, spam or misleading messages, and you are responsible for the content you configure and send.

8. Availability and support

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We provide support on a reasonable-efforts basis by email at [email protected], and will give reasonable notice of planned maintenance where practical.

9. Data processing (UK GDPR Article 28)

This section is the Data Processing Agreement between you (the controller) and nuvelo (the processor) for the guest personal data we process on your behalf to provide the Service.

9.1 Scope

  • Subject matter & purpose: processing guest personal data solely to provide the booking, payment and guest-management Service.
  • Duration: for the term of your subscription.
  • Nature & purpose of processing: collection, storage, use, transmission, and deletion in the course of running the Service.
  • Types of data: guest name, contact details, booking details, booking-question answers, and — where you use them — visit history, spend and loyalty balances.
  • Data subjects: your guests.

9.2 Our obligations as processor

We shall:

  • process the personal data only on your documented instructions (including these terms and your use of the Service), unless required by law, in which case we will tell you first unless the law prohibits it;
  • ensure that people authorised to process the data are bound by confidentiality;
  • implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures (UK GDPR Article 32) — see our privacy policy for a summary;
  • engage sub-processors only under this general written authorisation, and give you notice of any intended change so you can object; our current sub-processors are listed in the privacy policy (Stripe, Square, SumUp, Twilio, Microsoft, DigitalOcean and Cloudflare), each bound by equivalent data-protection obligations;
  • assist you, so far as possible, to respond to data-subject requests, and to meet your obligations on security, breach notification and data-protection impact assessments (Articles 32–36);
  • at your choice, delete or return the personal data at the end of the Service, and delete existing copies unless the law requires us to keep them;
  • make available the information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with Article 28, and allow for and contribute to reasonable audits;
  • notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your data;
  • tell you if, in our opinion, an instruction infringes data-protection law.

9.3 International transfers

Where a sub-processor processes data outside the UK/EEA, transfers are covered by an appropriate safeguard (a UK adequacy decision, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs). A full signable copy of this DPA is available on request at [email protected].

10. Customer data

You own all Customer Data. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit and process it only as needed to provide the Service and meet our obligations. We maintain appropriate security and regular encrypted backups, and can make your data available for export on reasonable request. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you submit and for having the right to provide it to us.

11. Intellectual property

We (and our licensors) retain all intellectual property rights in the Service, its software and documentation. You retain all rights in your Customer Data. Nothing in these terms transfers intellectual property between us, except the limited licences expressly granted here.

12. Confidentiality

Each of us will keep the other's confidential information confidential and use it only for the purposes of these terms, except where disclosure is to advisers who need it (and are bound by confidentiality), is required by law, or the information is already public through no breach. This does not apply to your guests' personal data, which is governed by Section 9.

13. Warranties and disclaimers

We warrant that we will provide the Service with reasonable care and skill. Except as expressly stated, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other warranties, conditions and terms (whether express or implied) are excluded. The Service is not a substitute for your own record-keeping, and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

14. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited by law. Subject to that, to the maximum extent permitted by law neither party is liable for loss of profits, sales, business, bookings, anticipated savings, goodwill, or data, or for any indirect or consequential loss. Subject to the above, each party's total aggregate liability arising under or in connection with these terms in any 12-month period is limited to the Fees you paid in that period.

15. Indemnity

You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Service, or a claim that your Customer Data infringes a third party's rights or was collected or used unlawfully.

16. Term and termination

These terms apply for as long as you have an account. You may close your account at any time. Either party may terminate immediately on written notice if the other commits a material breach that is not remedied within 30 days of notice, or becomes insolvent. We may suspend or terminate for breach of these terms, or if you fail to pay Fees when due.

17. Effects of termination

On termination your licence to use the Service ends and you must stop using it. Before termination you can export your Customer Data; afterwards we delete or anonymise it in line with our privacy policy, except where the law requires us to keep it. Any terms intended to survive termination (including Sections 9–15 and 18–20) continue to apply. Termination does not affect rights or liabilities accrued up to that date.

18. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay (other than to pay money) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of hosting, internet or telecommunications providers, cyber-attacks, power failures, fire, flood, epidemic, war or governmental action.

19. General

You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor in business. No variation is effective unless we publish it or agree it in writing. A delay in enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. If any provision is invalid, the rest continues in force. A person who is not a party has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Notices may be given by email to the address on your account, or to [email protected].

20. Governing law

These terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual ones) arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
