Vuurate
Operated by Company Data Pty Ltd (ABN 123123123)
Last updated: 26 May 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using Vuurate ("the platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Company Data Pty Ltd (ABN 123123123), a company registered in Australia ("we", "us", "our").
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Vuurate. By using the platform, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have obtained parental or guardian consent.
3. Your Account
3.1 Registration
You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
3.2 Username
Your username forms your public profile URL (vuurate.com/@username). Choose it carefully — username changes may not always be possible.
3.3 Account Types
- Curator (free): Access to core platform features as described on our pricing page
- Tastemaker (paid subscription): Access to premium features as described on our pricing page
- Cuurator (by invitation): A curated editorial role granted by Vuurate at our discretion
3.4 Account Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, without notice.
4. Content and Conduct
4.1 Your Content
You retain ownership of the content you create on Vuurate (shelves, descriptions, collections). By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, distribute, and promote your content on the platform and in marketing materials.
4.2 Prohibited Content
You must not post content that:
- Is false, misleading, or deceptive
- Infringes any third party's intellectual property rights
- Is defamatory, harassing, or abusive
- Promotes illegal activity
- Contains spam, malware, or automated content designed to game the platform
- Is generated entirely by AI without human curation or editorial judgment
4.3 AI-Generated Content
Vuurate is built on human taste and editorial judgment. You may use AI tools to assist with descriptions and tags, but the curation itself — the selection of creators and content — must reflect genuine human judgment. Shelves created solely through automated or AI-driven processes, with no meaningful human curation, are prohibited.
Cuurator accounts are held to a stricter standard: descriptions must be written by the account holder. AI-generated descriptions on Cuurator accounts are grounds for immediate account suspension.
4.4 Creator Content
Vuurate curates references to third-party creators (YouTube channels, Twitch streamers, etc.). We do not host or own this content. We are not responsible for third-party content referenced on the platform.
5. Affiliate Links and Earnings
5.1 Platform Affiliate Links
Vuurate participates in affiliate programs including Amazon Associates. On free Curator accounts, product links may include Company Data Pty Ltd's affiliate tag. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you or your audience.
5.2 Tastemaker Affiliate Links
Tastemaker subscribers may set their own affiliate tag in account settings. Where set, their tag is used on their product links and they earn commissions directly. Company Data Pty Ltd is not responsible for affiliate earnings, disputes, or program compliance for individual users.
5.3 Affiliate Disclosure
By using product links on Vuurate, you acknowledge that some links may be affiliate links. You are responsible for ensuring your own affiliate disclosures comply with applicable laws and platform policies (including Amazon Associates Programme Policies).
6. Subscriptions and Payments

The Tastemaker subscription is billed monthly. Pricing is displayed on our pricing page and may change with notice.

6.3 Downgrade
On cancellation or downgrade to free tier:
- Custom backgrounds and patterns are hidden on your shelves
- Product links revert to platform affiliate tag
- Amazon product links remain visible; standard product links are reduced to 4 per shelf

6.4 Payment Processing
Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.
