-
Registration and maintenance of a User Account are free of charge.
-
Registering a User Account is possible by completing the registration form available on the Platform and providing a truthful e-mail address.
-
The Account Agreement between the Service Provider and the User is concluded at the moment the User first signs in to the Platform using the Sign-in Link sent to the e-mail address they provided, which is equivalent to verification of that address.

To do so, the User should use the account-deletion feature available in the User Account settings, confirm their intention to delete the account by entering the e-mail address assigned to the Account, and then confirm the operation by clicking the link sent to that e-mail address. Closing a User Account with an active Paid Service is only possible after first terminating the Agreement for that Service in accordance with § 8 of these Terms.
-
The Service Provider is entitled to block the Account in the situation referred to in § 4(4) of these Terms, or to delete the Account in the situation referred to in § 4(5) of these Terms.

-
Users may use the Services free of charge under the indefinite free tier of the Services (including 1 Board and a limit of 100 Submissions per month), or on a paid basis under a Paid Service, in accordance with the Price List.
-
The Agreement for the provision of a Paid Service is concluded at the moment the User confirms their order in the payment process operated by Polar in accordance with § 7 of these Terms.
-
Promptly after the conclusion of the Agreement for a Paid Service, the Service Provider will send the Consumer, to the provided e-mail address, confirmation of the conclusion of the Agreement on a durable medium, containing the information referred to in Article 12(1) of the Polish Consumer Rights Act of 30 May 2014, including confirmation of the consent given to the commencement of the Service before the expiry of the withdrawal period and acknowledgment of the resulting loss of the right of withdrawal.
-
A Paid Service is activated promptly after the Subscription Fee is credited and lasts for the Billing Period. The Agreement for a Paid Service is automatically renewed for a further Billing Period unless the User terminates the Agreement in accordance with § 8 of these Terms before its expiry.
-
The User may cancel a Paid Service and revert to the free tier of the Services at any time via the subscription-management feature available in the User Account settings, in accordance with § 8 of these Terms.
§ 7. Payments
-
The entity handling payments for Paid Services and acting as the seller (Merchant of Record) of those Services is Polar. This means that the sales agreement covering settlement of the Subscription Fee — including the calculation and collection of VAT and the issuance of an invoice or other proof of payment — is concluded between the User and Polar, acting in its own name under a separate agreement with the Service Provider. The Service Provider remains the entity providing the Service of access to the System.
-
The User pays the Subscription Fee in advance, through the payment process made available by Polar, using the payment methods currently offered by Polar (including payment card and other methods indicated during the payment process).
-
The moment of payment is the date the payment is confirmed as received by Polar.
-
The invoice or other proof of payment is issued and delivered to the User by Polar, on terms set by Polar, based on the data provided by the User during the payment process.
-
Complaints regarding payments, invoices, or VAT settlements are handled by Polar in accordance with its own terms. Complaints regarding the functioning of the System and the Service are handled by the Service Provider in accordance with § 9 of these Terms.
-
Any changes to Subscription Fees will be announced on the Platform through publication of the current Price List and will not affect the amount of Subscription Fees already paid by Users under an Agreement concluded before the amended Price List was published.
§ 8. Termination of Agreements
-
The Agreement for the provision of Services is terminated:
- with respect to the Account Agreement – at the moment the Account is closed in accordance with § 5(6) of these Terms, or as a result of the Service Provider deleting the User Account in connection with terminating the Agreement for the reasons set out in § 4(5) of these Terms,
- with respect to a Paid Service – upon expiry of the current Billing Period, if the User has cancelled its further provision in accordance with paragraph 2 below.
-
The User may terminate the Agreement for a Paid Service at any time, without giving a reason, via the subscription-management feature available in the User Account settings. The Agreement then expires at the end of the current Billing Period, and Subscription Fees already paid are non-refundable.
-
The Service Provider is entitled to terminate the Agreement without notice in the event of:
- the User providing false or incomplete data necessary for the performance of the Agreement,
- a reasonable suspicion or finding that the User is using the Services in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or in violation of generally applicable law, or in a manner that infringes the rights of third parties, including in particular where the User breaches the obligations set out in § 4(2) of these Terms, or in the situation referred to in § 4(5) of these Terms.
-
A Consumer has the right to withdraw from the Agreement within 14 days of its conclusion, without giving a reason. The right of withdrawal does not apply to a Consumer if the Service Provider has fully performed the Service with the Consumer's express, prior consent, having informed the Consumer before the Service began that they would lose the right of withdrawal once the Service Provider had performed the Service, and the Consumer acknowledged this.
The consent referred to in the preceding sentence is given by the Consumer, before being redirected to the payment process, by ticking the relevant checkbox on the Platform, worded so as to confirm consent to the commencement of the Service before expiry of the withdrawal period and acknowledgment of the resulting loss of the right of withdrawal; placing an order for a Paid Service is not possible without ticking this checkbox. The Service Provider records the consent on a durable medium and provides the Consumer with confirmation of it having been given, in accordance with § 6(4) of these Terms.
