MVP 2026 Terms and Conditions


Start and Duration of the Agreement

  1. Storyblok operates a promotional and engagement program known as the Storyblok MVP Program (“MVP Program”), under which selected and nominated participants promote Storyblok’s products and brand in accordance with this Agreement.. These MVP Program Terms (“Agreement”) are a legally binding agreement between Storyblok GmbH, Peter-Behrens-Platz 2, 4020 Linz, Austria (“Storyblok”), and the individual or entity nominated by Storyblok in writing to promote Storyblok’s products and brand in accordance with this Agreement (“MVP”).
  2. Submitting an application does not make you (the individual or entity applying for the MVP Program) a MVP. You will only become an MVP if Storyblok accepts your application and notifies you in writing of your nomination as MVP. Submitting an application does not create any obligation for Storyblok to accept you into the MVP Program, nor does it make you a MVP. Storyblok reserves the right to accept or reject any application in its sole discretion.
  3. By accepting these terms (e.g. clicking “I Accept” on a MVP registration website or form) or submitting an application to the Program and being admitted to the MVP Program, you acknowledge and confirm that (a) you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the Agreement; (b) you only become a MVP if Storyblok nominates you in writing; and (c) if nominated, this Agreement will apply to your participation in the MVP Program.
  4. The Agreement begins on the date of your written nomination as MVP by Storyblok  and is concluded for a 12 months term. The Agreement may be renewed for another 12 months further, only if Storyblok provides written notice 30 days prior to the expiration of this Agreement.
  5. This Agreement may be terminated by each party earlier than specified in clause 1.4 by observing a one-month notice period.
  6. Furthermore, this Agreement may be terminated by each party without observing a notice period for good cause.
