Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at www.simplegantt.net and the Simple Gantt application (together, the “Service”). They are the terms and conditions (regulamin) for providing services electronically under Polish law. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Who provides the Service

Maciej Dębiec, a natural person running Simple Gantt as an unregistered activity (działalność nierejestrowana)
ul. Piotrkowska 276a, 90-361 Łódź, Poland
Email: support@simplegantt.net

3. Definitions

• User or you: anyone who uses the Service.
• Consumer: a User who is a natural person using the Service for purposes not related to their business or profession.
• Sole trader with consumer protection: a natural person running a business who uses the Service for a purpose that isn’t professional for them (Polish law gives them some consumer protections; see Sections 9 and 16).
• Business User: any other User acting for a business or organisation.
• Content: everything you put into the Service, such as projects, tasks, descriptions, dates, dependencies, comments and profile pictures.

4. What the Service is

Simple Gantt is an online project planning tool: you create projects and tasks, connect them with dependencies, set deadlines, see automatically calculated statuses on a Gantt chart, and invite others to collaborate. Some features are available only on paid plans, as described on the pricing page.

5. Technical requirements

To use the Service you need:

• a device with internet access;
• a current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge, with JavaScript and cookies enabled;
• an active email address (or a Google account) to create an account.

Using the internet carries general risks, such as malware or unauthorised access to your device. Keep your device and browser updated and your password private.

6. Your account

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• You can sign up with an email and password or with Google Sign-In. The agreement between you and us starts when your account is created.
• Give accurate information and keep your login details confidential. You are responsible for what happens under your account; tell us promptly at support@simplegantt.net if you suspect unauthorised access.
• You can delete your account at any time. Deletion is immediate and permanent (see Section 12), so request your data export first (Section 13).

7. Collaboration

You can invite others to your projects and give them roles. Collaborators don’t need a paid plan. The project owner is responsible for the subscription, for who has access to the project, and for having the right to add other people’s names and email addresses to it.

8. Plans, prices and payment

• The Service has a free plan and paid plans. Current prices and limits are on the pricing page and are shown before you pay.
• Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through our payment provider, Stripe, and renew automatically each month until cancelled.
• You can cancel at any time. Your paid plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, then your account moves to the free plan and its limits.
• We may change prices for future billing periods. We’ll tell you by email at least 14 days before a new price applies to you, and you can cancel before it does.
• Apart from Section 9 and any other right you have by law, payments for a started billing period are not refunded.

9. Right of withdrawal (Consumers)

If you are a Consumer or a Sole trader with consumer protection, you can withdraw from a paid plan within 14 days of buying it, without giving a reason. To do so, send us a clear statement by email to support@simplegantt.net (you may use the form below, but you don’t have to). Sending it within the 14 days is enough.

We will refund your payment within 14 days of receiving your statement, using the same payment method. If you asked us to start the paid plan straight away, within the withdrawal period, we may keep an amount proportional to the days you used it before withdrawing, and refund the rest.

10. Rules of use

You agree not to:

• put unlawful content into the Service, or content that infringes other people’s rights;
• upload malicious code or try to access accounts, data or systems you aren’t allowed to;
• overload, disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service, beyond what the law allows;
• use the Service for fraud or to send spam.

If you break these rules, we may remove the content concerned or suspend the account, after warning you where that is reasonable. You can always contact us to explain.

11. Your Content

• Your Content stays yours.
• You give us a non-exclusive licence to host, store, copy and display your Content only to provide the Service to you and the people you share it with.
• We don’t use the content of your projects for our own purposes. We may use aggregated, anonymised statistics about how the Service is used (for example, how many tasks are created) that don’t identify you or your organisation.
• You are responsible for your Content and for having the right to put it into the Service.

12. Personal data and business customers

Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. When a Business User puts personal data of others into the Service (for example, teammates’ names and emails), the Business User is the controller and we process that data on its behalf. Our Data Processing Agreement for this processing is available on request at support@simplegantt.net and, once provided, forms part of these Terms.

When you delete your account, your data is deleted from our database immediately and disappears from our backups within 7 days. If you are moving to another tool, request your export first (Section 13).

13. Switching and data export

• You can ask for a complete export of your data at any time, free of charge, by emailing support@simplegantt.net from your account email. We send it within 7 days, in JSON (and CSV on request).
• The data that can be exported, its structure and formats, and where it is hosted are listed on our Data Export and Hosting page. Data about how our service runs internally (security logs, aggregated analytics) is not part of the export.
• No notice period is needed to switch to another provider. The transition is completed within at most 30 days of your request; we’ll help with any questions and keep the Service running for you during that time.
• After we deliver the export, your account and data remain available for at least 30 days so you can retrieve anything you need, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Then all your data is erased, as when you delete your account (Section 12).
• We don’t charge any switching or data export fees.

14. Complaints

If something about the Service doesn’t work as it should, email support@simplegantt.net with your account email, a description of the problem and what you’d like us to do. We’ll reply within 14 days. If you are a Consumer, your statutory rights when a digital service doesn’t conform to the contract are not limited by these Terms.

15. Availability and changes to the Service

We work to keep the Service available and working, but we can’t guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, for example during maintenance or outages of our providers. We may improve, change or remove features. If a change significantly reduces what you pay for, we’ll tell you in advance and you can cancel. Simple Gantt is a planning tool: decisions about your projects, deadlines and work remain yours.

16. Liability

• Towards Business Users, we are not liable for lost profits, indirect damage or loss of business, and our total liability is limited to the fees paid to us in the 12 months before the event.
• Towards Consumers and Sole traders with consumer protection, we are liable as provided by law; these Terms don’t limit rights that the law doesn’t allow to be limited.
• Nothing in these Terms limits liability for damage caused intentionally or any other liability that can’t be limited by law.
• A Business User will compensate us for claims by third parties caused by its unlawful use of the Service or its Content.

17. Ending the agreement

You can end the agreement at any time by deleting your account. We may end it with 30 days’ notice by email, or immediately if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms. If we end it without cause, we’ll refund any prepaid fees for the unused period.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for valid reasons, such as changes in law, in the Service or in our providers. We’ll publish the new version here and email you at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you don’t accept it, you can end the agreement before then by deleting your account; prepaid fees for the unused period will be refunded.

19. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Polish law. If you are a Consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country. Disputes with Business Users are resolved by the court competent for our address. Consumers in Poland may also use out-of-court dispute resolution, for example through the local consumer ombudsman (rzecznik konsumentów) or the Trade Inspection (Inspekcja Handlowa).
