Terms of service
Last updated October 2026
Using Vela
Vela lets creators run online communities and lets anyone join them. By creating an account you agree to these terms.
You must give accurate account details and keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
Creator plans
Running a community requires the Vela Pro plan: 14 days free, then $99 a month per community, billed by our reseller Paddle.com, who is the merchant of record for plan payments.
You can cancel at any time. Your community stays open until the end of the period you have paid for.
Member payments
When members pay a creator, the payment goes to the creator's own Stripe or Paystack account. The creator is the seller and is responsible for their prices, refunds, taxes and the content they provide.
Vela charges a 0% platform fee on member payments. Payment processors charge their own fees.
Content and conduct
You keep ownership of what you post. You give Vela permission to host and show it so the service works.
Don't post anything illegal, hateful, sexually exploitative, or that infringes someone else's rights, and don't use Vela to spam or defraud people. We may remove content or close accounts that break these rules.
Liability
Vela is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, or for disputes between creators and members.
