Terms of Service

01The agreement

These Terms of Service are a binding agreement between you and Bryan Saxon LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (“Plankast”, “we”, “us”), covering plankast.com, the Plankast applications on every platform we ship, and the Plankast API and MCP server at api.plankast.com (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, ticking the box that says you agree, or using the Service, you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy, which is part of this agreement. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have the authority to bind it.

02The private beta

Plankast is invite-only pre-release software. That is not a disclaimer we are hiding — it is the honest state of the product, and it has consequences you should hold us to and plan around:

• Features may change, be reworked or be withdrawn, and the Service may be unavailable without notice.
• There is no uptime commitment, no support commitment and no service level agreement during the beta.
• Defects are expected. If one loses data, our liability is still governed by section 13, which is exactly why section 8 asks you to keep your own copy.
• We may end the beta, or any individual account in it, on notice. See section 11 for what happens to your data if we do.

03Who may use Plankast

You must be at least 16 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. You need a valid invite code to create an account. You may not use the Service if we have previously terminated your account, or if the law where you live prohibits it.

04Your account

Plankast is one person, one account: there are no workspaces, memberships or switchers, and areas of life are the only partition. Keep your credentials to yourself — you are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything an agent you authorised does with it.

Give us accurate information when you register and keep your email address current, since that is how we reach you. Tell us promptly at contact@plankast.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission. We recommend a passkey; it is the strongest credential the Service offers.

05Your content

You own your content. Everything you create, upload, record, draw or import — notes, tasks, projects, boards, ink, recordings, transcripts and files, together “Your Content” — remains yours. We claim no ownership of it, and this agreement transfers nothing.

To run the Service we need a narrow permission, and this is its whole extent: you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, index, render and back up Your Content, and to transmit it to a provider or agent you have connected, solely in order to provide the Service to you and to do the things you asked it to do. This licence exists for no other purpose. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, to advertise, or to build anything other than your own account, and the licence ends when you delete the content or your account, save for backup copies that expire on their ordinary cycle.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to it. Where you record a conversation or a meeting, recording and consent laws are your responsibility and vary by jurisdiction — the Service does not obtain anyone's consent for you.

06Acceptable use

Use Plankast for your own work and your own life. Do not:

• Break the law with it, or store or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, or sexual content involving minors.
• Attack the Service — no attempts to breach, probe or circumvent our security or authentication, no denial-of-service, no scraping or automated load beyond what the API and its rate limits allow.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or resell, rent or sublicense the Service, or use it to build a competing product.
• Share your account, or use another person's invite code or account without permission.
• Use the Service to send unsolicited messages, or to store other people's personal information in a way that breaches the law where they live.

We may suspend an account immediately where use of it threatens the Service or another person, and will tell you why.

07Providers, agents and your keys

Plankast has no AI subscription and no server-side model keys. If you want AI features, you connect your own provider account and assign it to a purpose. Three things follow.

Their terms apply. What a provider does with content you send it is governed by your agreement with that provider, not by us. The same is true of Google, Microsoft and any other account you connect. We are not responsible for a third-party service's acts, omissions, pricing, availability or changes to its terms.

Their costs are yours. Model usage is billed to you by the provider. Plankast shows you what your own keys spent, but it is a report, not an invoice, and we are not a party to that bill.

Agents act as you. An agent you authorise over MCP or with a scoped token acts with your permission and within the scopes and areas you granted it. You are responsible for what it does. AI output can be wrong; do not rely on a summary, a transcript, a handwriting recognition or a proposed task for anything consequential without checking it. You can revoke any agent at any time in Settings.

08Availability and backups

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, and will give reasonable notice for anything significant where we can. Maintenance, faults and outages will happen.

09Fees

Plankast is free during the private beta. We expect to introduce paid plans later. If we do, we will tell you before any charge applies to your account, and you will be able to decline and export your vault rather than pay. Costs you incur with an AI provider or any other third party are separate and are never charged by us.

10Our intellectual property

The Service itself — the software, the design, the Plankast name and mark — belongs to us and our licensors, and nothing here grants you a licence to it beyond the right to use the Service under this agreement. Third-party product names on our site are the trademarks of their owners, used to describe a category; they do not imply any affiliation or endorsement. If you send us feedback or a suggestion, we may use it freely and without obligation to you, which is not us claiming your ideas so much as us wanting to act on them without a negotiation.

11Ending the agreement

You may stop using Plankast and delete your account at any time by emailing contact@plankast.com from the address on the account. Download your vault first; deletion removes Your Content, subject to the retention horizons set out in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these terms, if the law requires it, or if we discontinue the Service. Except where a breach or the law makes it impossible, we will give you reasonable notice and a reasonable opportunity to export Your Content before your data is deleted. Sections 5, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17 survive the end of this agreement.

12Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, and it is pre-release software. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that any defect will be corrected, or that AI output will be accurate.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and nothing here limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be limited.

13Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither we nor our suppliers are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost goodwill, or the loss, corruption or unavailability of data, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if we were advised that such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or this agreement is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred US dollars (US$100). Because Plankast is free during the private beta, that will usually be US$100, and we would rather you knew that before you decided what to keep in it than after.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service in breach of these terms or of the law, or your infringement of anyone else's rights. We will notify you of any such claim and you may control the defence, provided that any settlement releasing us requires our written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

15Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Plankast changes. The version and date at the top of this page always say which text is in force. For material changes we will give you notice in the app or by email before they take effect; continuing to use the Service after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service and delete your account — and export your vault first, which is always available to you.

16Governing law and disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Alabama for any dispute, and each of us waives any objection to venue there. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, the UK or another jurisdiction whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, nothing here takes that right away.

Before filing anything, email contact@plankast.com with a description of the dispute. Most things are settled faster by a person reading the message than by a filing, and we will engage in good faith for 30 days.

17General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service, and supersede anything said before. If a provision is held unenforceable, it is severed and the rest stands. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it to a successor in connection with a merger or sale of the business. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency or employment relationship. We are not liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

18Contact

Questions about these terms, notices under them, or anything on this page that does not match what you see in the product — write to contact@plankast.com and a person will answer. Postal address available on request.
