Terms of Service

The agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Hilbren Technologies LLC (“PineBoard,” “we,” “us”) for using the PineBoard website at pineboard.app and the PineBoard iPhone app (together, the “Service”). By creating an account, joining a PTO on PineBoard, or signing up to volunteer, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

Who can use PineBoard

You must be at least 18 to create an account. If you set up a PTO or act for one, you confirm that you’re allowed to use the Service on the organization’s behalf. Volunteers don’t need an account to sign up for a spot.

Accounts and roles

• Keep your password private. You’re responsible for what happens under your account; tell us right away if you think someone else has used it.
• Within a PTO, administrators manage the board, roles, and settings; leaders plan events and manage volunteers. Administrators decide who has access and can remove people.
• A PTO needs at least one administrator. If the last board member deletes their account, the PTO and everything in it are deleted.

Your content

“Content” means what you and your PTO put into PineBoard: events, plans, notes, files, receipts, contacts, and messages. Your PTO owns its content. You give us permission to store, copy, display, and send it only as needed to run the Service for you, for example to show it to your board, email reminders, or deliver announcements.

You’re responsible for the content you add. In particular, you agree that:

• You have the right to add any information about other people, such as volunteers’ or vendors’ contact details, and you’ll use it only for your PTO’s activities.
• You won’t put student records or other information about children into PineBoard.
• Announcements and other messages go only to people involved with your PTO, and aren’t used for advertising or unrelated solicitations.

Acceptable use

Don’t use PineBoard to:

• break the law, or infringe anyone’s privacy, intellectual property, or other rights;
• upload malware, or content that is harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise harmful;
• send spam, or collect people’s information for purposes unrelated to your PTO;
• access another organization’s information, probe or bypass our security, or overload the Service;
• copy, resell, or reverse engineer the Service, except as the law allows.

We may remove content or suspend access that breaks these rules, and we’ll tell you when we reasonably can.

Price

PineBoard is free to use today. If we introduce paid plans, we’ll tell you in advance, and nothing you use will start costing money unless you choose a paid plan.

Other services

PineBoard relies on other providers, such as email delivery and Apple’s push notifications, and links to things like your device calendar. We’re not responsible for those services, and their own terms apply to them.

Changes and availability

We’re always improving PineBoard, so features may change. We work to keep it running, but it may sometimes be unavailable for maintenance or reasons outside our control. Keep your own copies of anything you can’t afford to lose.

Ending your use

You can stop using PineBoard and delete your account at any time in My Settings. We may suspend or end access for anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or if we stop offering the Service; if we stop offering it, we’ll give reasonable notice so PTOs can save what they need. The sections on content, disclaimers, liability, and disputes continue to apply afterward.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PineBoard helps organize PTO work; it isn’t accounting, legal, or financial advice, and your PTO remains responsible for its own records, funds, and decisions.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, PINEBOARD WON’T BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ABOUT THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $50. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of content you added or your breaking these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. Any legal action will be brought in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina, and both sides agree to those courts’ jurisdiction.

The iPhone app

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we’ll update the date above and let board members know in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use PineBoard after that means you accept the new terms.
