Terms and conditions
These terms apply to the use of DevHero (www.devhero.one) and to services paid with credits. The provider is Techfunder World AG, Industriestrasse 9, 6302 Zug, Switzerland (imprint).
1. For professional purposes only
Our offer is directed at agencies, freelancers, companies and in-house teams who look for software and web development projects as part of a professional or business activity, not at consumers.
2. Project listings
DevHero lists currently open software and web development projects from public sources: public tenders from official open-data sources, projects that clients post on freelance boards, and contract roles with a stated rate from public job posts. Each listing is our own summary of a public notice or post; we compile them with care but give no guarantee that a listing is complete and correct or that the project is still open. The official notice or the original post is binding; deadlines, budgets and requirements may have changed since it was published. Budgets are the publisher's own estimates; for framework agreements the value is a ceiling for all suppliers over the whole term, not the value of a single order. US-dollar values are approximate conversions at ECB reference rates. Check every project at its source before you commit to anything.
3. Tenders, contracts and source platforms
DevHero is not a party to any tender or contract and does not submit offers on behalf of users. We are not connected with the clients and buyers. Whether you apply or bid, and any contract with a client or buyer, is a matter between you and them alone. You must follow the rules of the original platform, for example the procedure and deadlines of a tender or the terms of a freelance board.
Open data: TED © European Union; data from Contracts Finder and Find a Tender (United Kingdom) contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0; Spanish data comes from the open data of the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público. Details are in the imprint.
4. Account and credits
You keep your details up to date and your private account link confidential; anyone who has it can use your credits. We may block an account in case of misuse.
Credits are bought in packs through Stripe and added to your account after payment. They can only be used for the services listed below; the cost is shown before you confirm. Credits are not money: they carry no interest, cannot be transferred to another account and are not paid out, except under section 6. Credits do not expire.
Current packs:
- 100 credits: €100 / $115
- 550 credits: €500 / $575
- 2400 credits: €2,000 / $2,300
5. Services paid with credits
- Project details (25 credits): the client or buyer (where known), the link to the official source, the reference, the original title and a quote from the notice or post appear at once and stay unlocked.
- Project alerts (10 credits per e-mail): a weekly e-mail with new projects that match the project types, countries and minimum budget you chose; at most one e-mail a week, only when new matching projects exist.
- Curated lead pack (290 credits): a list of open projects that fit the profile you describe; target: within 2 working days, by e-mail and in your account.
A lead pack is a selection of open projects; whether a client or buyer accepts your offer is their own decision. Sending us a request on WhatsApp or by e-mail is free.
Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in Switzerland.
6. Refunds
If we cannot deliver an ordered service, the credits are returned to your account. Unused credits are refunded to the original payment method if you ask within 14 days of the purchase. Used credits are not refunded.
7. Prices and payment
The prices shown at purchase apply, in EUR or USD. Stripe processes card payments, and you receive an invoice by e-mail. Taxes are charged where they apply.
7a. AI agents and payments by agents
Software agents may use DevHero through /agents/, /mcp and /a2a. An agent acts for a person or company; that person or company is our customer, is bound by these terms (accepted when the agent opens the account with "accept_terms") and is responsible for what the agent does. Keep the API key confidential; anyone who has it can use the credits.
Agents can pay for credit packs or single unlocks in USDC (x402 on Base or Solana), in bitcoin over Lightning (L402) or by card through Stripe. Crypto and Lightning prices are set in USD; a payment counts as made once it is settled on the network. A single paid unlock is delivered at once and is not refunded. Unused credits bought with USDC or Lightning are refunded under section 6 in the same asset to an address you name, at the USD value of the purchase. Payments are final once settled; we cannot reverse blockchain or Lightning transactions sent to a wrong address.
8. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. Otherwise our liability is excluded as far as legally permitted, and in any case limited to the amount you paid for the service concerned.
9. Data protection
How we process data is described in the privacy policy.
10. Changes
We may change these terms and publish the new version here. Credits already bought remain subject to the terms in force at the time of purchase.
11. Governing law and jurisdiction
Swiss law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The place of jurisdiction is Zug, Switzerland.
