Welcome! Thank you for using Stintar!
1. Introduction
Stintar. (“ChetsApp,” “we,” “our,” “us”) offers a variety of team productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools, as further described in the Stintar Guide and its Release Notes (collectively, the “Service”), and websites.
These User Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal contract between you and Stintar and explain the rules governing your use of our Service and Websites. These Terms apply to you as a user of the Service, subject to exceptions that apply to Managed Users (as defined and further detailed below in Section 2 (How These Terms Apply)). By accessing or using the Service and Websites, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms (as applicable) and confirm you have read and understand our Privacy Statement, which is incorporated by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Service or Websites.
We may revise these Terms from time to time by posting a modified version on our website. If, in Stintar’s sole discretion, the modifications to these Terms are material, we will provide you with reasonable notice prior to the change taking effect, either by emailing the email address associated with your account or by alerting you through the Service and/or Websites. If you do not agree to or cannot comply with the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service and Websites. Unless otherwise stated elsewhere in these Terms or in our notice, the updated Terms will take effect upon their posting and will apply on a going-forward basis. Your continued use of the Service and Websites after any update to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
2. How These Terms Apply
By using Stintar, you fall into one or more of the following three different categories of Stintar users:
“Site Visitors” are users of the Websites.
“Free Users” use the free/basic version of the Service. Free Users have access to a more limited set of Service features and functionality than Managed Users. Free Users may have their own individual workspaces and/or take part in a free multi-user Stintar domain.
“Managed Users” use the Service as part of any paid Stintar subscription plan purchased by a person or entity (the “Customer”) who has separately entered into a written agreement with Stintar (the “Customer Agreement”) governing access and use of the Service and permitting such Customer to create and configure Stintar so that Managed Users may join.
To the extent you are a Managed User, only the following sections of these Terms will apply to you: Section 1 (Introduction); Section 2 (How These Terms Apply); and Section 6 (Acceptable Use Policy).
As a Managed User, you gain access to the Service through a Customer of Stintar. For example, if you are joining your employer’s organization, the Customer is your employer. If you are joining a workspace created by your friend using a personal email address, your friend is a Stintar Customer and is authorizing you to join his or her workspace. The Customer Agreement governs our relationship and commitment to deliver the Service to that Customer, who may then invite Managed Users to join their Stintar instance. When you or another Managed User submit content or information to the Service, such as messages or files (“Customer Data”), you acknowledge and agree that, as between Stintar and Customer, the Customer Data is controlled by Customer and the Customer Agreement provides Customer with choices and control over that Customer Data. For example, the Customer may manage permissions, enable or disable third-party integrations, or take steps to expand, consolidate, or share the contents of Stintar portfolios, projects, tasks, and subtasks, and these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification or deletion of certain or all Customer Data.
AS BETWEEN Stintar AND CUSTOMER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT IS SOLELY CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO (A) INFORM YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS OF ANY RELEVANT CUSTOMER POLICIES, PRACTICES AND SETTINGS THAT MAY IMPACT THE PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA; (B) OBTAIN ANY RIGHTS, PERMISSIONS OR CONSENTS FROM YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE LAWFUL USE OF CUSTOMER DATA AND THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE; (C) ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA UNDER THE CUSTOMER AGREEMENT IS LAWFUL; AND (D) RESPOND TO AND RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH YOU AND ANY OTHER MANAGED USERS RELATING TO CUSTOMER DATA, THE SERVICE OR CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO FULFILL THESE OBLIGATIONS. IN YOUR CAPACITY AS A MANAGED USER, Stintar MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) TO YOU RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHICH IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.
3. Eligibility and Scope
To use the Service and Websites you must be, and you represent and warrant that you are, at least 16 years of age and competent to agree to these Terms. If the law where you reside requires that you must be older for Stintar to lawfully provide the Services and Websites to you and use your data without parental consent, then you must be that older age.
If the representations in the preceding sentence are not true, or if Stintar has previously prohibited you from accessing or using the Service and Websites, you may not access or use the Service and Websites.
4. Account Registration and Use
4.1 Account Registration and Confidentiality. To access the Service and certain parts of our Websites, you must register for a Stintar account by creating a username and password.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure, and you agree that you will not allow others to access the Service using your Stintar account. By registering, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your username and password. We may assume that any communications we receive under your account have been made by you. If you are a workspace or organization owner or administrator, or if you have confirmed in writing that you have the authority to make decisions on behalf of a workspace or organization (“Account Administrator”), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so and agree that Stintar is entitled to rely on your instructions.
4.2 Unauthorized Account Use. You are responsible for notifying us at support@stintar.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of or access to your account.

Stintar will not be liable for any loss, damages, liability, expenses, or attorneys’ fees that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge and/or authorization, and regardless of whether you have advised us of such unauthorized use. You will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Stintar or a third party due to someone else using your account. If the Account Administrator or Customer loses access to an account or otherwise requests information about an account, Stintar reserves the right in its sole discretion to request from the Account Administrator or Customer any verification it deems necessary before restoring access to or providing information about such account.

12.2 Controlling Law. These Terms will be governed by the laws of California notwithstanding its conflicts of law principles.

12.3 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If you take any issue with us or our Service, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at dispute-notice support@stintar.com and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account).

The applicable Customer will be responsible for notifying Managed Users of those conflicts or inconsistencies and until such time the terms set forth herein will be binding.
