Terms of service

Kudds is run by Rachata Suksereekul, an individual based in Bangkok, Thailand. There is no company behind Kudds yet. In these terms, “Kudds”, “we” and “us” mean him, as the person who provides the service.

These terms are the agreement between you and Kudds. They apply whenever you use Kudds: as the owner of a space, an organizer, a judge or a participant. A space is anything you set up on Kudds: a simple submission, a competition or a project. By using Kudds, you agree to these terms. Our Privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.

If you use Kudds for an organization, you confirm you’re allowed to accept these terms for it.

If Kudds becomes a company, that company will take over these terms and the service. We’ll tell you by email before it happens.

Keep your sign-in details to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else is using your account. You’re responsible for what happens in it.

Give accurate details. If you’re under 20, or under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s consent to use Kudds, and they accept these terms with you.

Participants own what they submit. Organizers own what they publish in their space.

To run the service, you allow Kudds to store your content, copy it where needed (for example, to make previews), and show it to the people who should see it: the space’s organizers and judges, and anyone its page is public to. This permission ends when the content is deleted.

We may show public space pages, such as a space’s name and artwork, to promote Kudds. Organizers can opt out by writing to support@kudds.com.

You confirm you have the right to upload what you upload.

• You’re responsible for your space: its rules, deadlines and judging, and the results, grades and feedback you publish. Kudds adds up scores and grades the way you set them up. The decisions are yours.
• Prizes, entry fees and anything else you promise participants are between you and them. Kudds isn’t a party to them.
• You decide what participants are asked for. Ask only for what you need, tell them how you’ll use it, and handle it lawfully, including under Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
• Don’t ask for sensitive personal data, such as health, religion, biometric data, criminal records or ID cards that show religion, unless you truly need it and have each person’s explicit consent. Kudds doesn’t need this data and doesn’t ask for it.
• Peer ratings are private to your organizing team. Use them fairly, and don’t share what one participant said about another.
• Invite organizers you trust: they can run the space with you. Only the owner can change the team or the plan, or delete the space.
• Deleting a space deletes everything in it, for everyone. It can’t be undone.

If someone makes a claim against Kudds because of your space, its rules, prizes or entry fees, what you publish in it or how you handle participants’ data, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and losses it causes us, as far as the law allows. This doesn’t apply where Kudds caused the problem.

For what participants submit in your space, you decide why it’s collected and how it’s used. Kudds processes it for you, only to run the service, as described in our Privacy policy.

If a security incident affects your space, we’ll tell you without delay, so you can act for your participants.

Don’t use Kudds to:

• upload anything illegal or malicious, or anything that infringes someone else’s rights
• harass, deceive or impersonate anyone
• send spam, or collect other people’s data without their permission
• break, overload or get around Kudds’s security, including scraping, automated sign-ups and probing for weaknesses

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules. Where we can, we’ll tell you why.

What each plan includes, such as participants, emails and storage, is shown on our Pricing page and when you subscribe. When you reach a limit, nothing is deleted. Kudds stops adding more until there’s room or you move to Pro. Going over is never charged automatically.

From 7 December 2026, the Free plan includes 5 GB of storage instead of 15 GB. Files you already store stay. While you store more than 5 GB, new files can’t be added.

Pro is paid by card, monthly, in Thai baht or US dollars, through our payment provider, Stripe. We don’t see or keep your card number. Prices are shown before you pay. Pro renews each month until you cancel. Extra storage you add is billed with Pro, as shown when you add it.

Kudds isn’t registered for VAT, so no VAT is added to the price and we can’t issue tax invoices. If that changes, we’ll tell you before it affects what you pay.

You can cancel on your Subscription page at any time. Pro stays until the end of the month you’ve paid for, and nothing more is charged. We don’t refund part of a month unless the law requires it. If we charged you by mistake, write to billing@kudds.com and we’ll put it right.

If you dispute a payment with your bank or card company, we may pause Pro on your account until the dispute is settled. Your work stays. Please write to us first, as it’s usually quicker.

If prices or what a plan includes change, we’ll tell you by email before the change applies to you.

When a space charges an entry fee, participants pay its organizers directly, by bank transfer, PromptPay, the organizers’ own payment link or on the day. Kudds shows how to pay and keeps the payment slip for the organizers to check, but never takes, holds or refunds that money. Questions about an entry fee, refunds included, go to the space’s organizers.

We work to keep Kudds running and your files safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. Keep your own copies of anything important.

We improve Kudds often, and may change or retire features. If a change takes away something you rely on, we’ll tell you first where we can.

We aren’t responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, outages at our providers or the internet, or new laws.

You can stop using Kudds at any time, and ask us to remove your account.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or where the law requires it. A suspension can be lifted. Closing an account deletes its data as our Privacy policy describes.

The parts of these terms that are meant to last, such as ownership of your work, liability, your promise to cover claims and the law that applies, still apply after you stop using Kudds.

Kudds is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, missed opportunities or the outcome of a competition or a course.

As far as the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to whichever is greater: what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or 3,000 baht.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for harm caused on purpose or through gross negligence, or any other liability the law doesn’t allow us to limit. If you use Kudds as a consumer, these terms don’t take away the rights consumer law gives you.

These terms are governed by the laws of Thailand, and the courts in Bangkok will hear any dispute. If the law where you live lets you bring a claim in your own courts or gives you rights that can’t be waived, these terms don’t take that away.

If something goes wrong, please write to us first. Most problems are quicker to solve by email.

These terms are provided in Thai and English. If the two differ, the Thai version applies to users in Thailand, and the English version to everyone else.

We may update these terms. We’ll change the date at the top. For changes that matter, we’ll tell you by email at least 30 days before they take effect, and ask you to agree in Kudds. If you don’t agree, you can stop using Kudds and delete your account before then. If you keep using Kudds after they take effect, you accept them.

If a court finds part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.

You can’t pass your account or these terms to someone else without our written agreement. We may transfer them to a company that takes over Kudds, such as one its founder sets up, and we’ll tell you before it happens.

If we don’t enforce part of these terms straight away, we can still enforce it later.

Write to support@kudds.com about these terms or your account, to billing@kudds.com about payments, and to info@kudds.com about personal data. If you need a postal address to send a legal notice, ask at support@kudds.com and we’ll give you one.
