We can make no guarantee for the accuracy of the content of this webpage. It's meant as tool for self-discovery, like a mirror.

BaanTu is an experimental software that makes no promise of full functionality or accuracy. This software makes no claim to be completely free of fault. It is a work-in-progress and in constant development. With the price of a yearly subscription, you participate in the on-going experiment/development. Everything is sold as-is. We also make no guarantees that the service is available at all times. While we do our utmost best, sometimes technical faults are out of our hands and unavoidable. Due to the low price of a yearly subscription, we cannot offer any refunds. If you are not happy with the service, you can opt out the following year. You will be taken to the payment screen when your subscription expires.

BaanTu is based on authentic profiles through valid information. By opening an account, you agree to provide a profile picture (optional), clearly showing your face and the location of your place of residence (town). The name of your account must be as shown in your passport. BaanTu might ask you for a copy of your passport to verify your name if necessary. Accounts with false or missing information, or profile pictures not showing your face, will be closed without any refunds and warnings. The use of profile pictures is optional, but if you upload something for your public profile, it must be your face (portrait size like in an ID) only without any slogans or text. The publisher reserves the right to close any account without explanation.
