Terms of service

Parties and acceptance

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of Planning Poher (planningpoher.ru). The operator is Vladimir Abdullaev.

The terms are accepted when you enter the service, as a guest or with an account. If any of the terms do not suit you, please do not use the service.

How personal data is handled is described separately in the privacy policy. A link to it is in the footer of every page.

What the service is

Planning Poher helps teams estimate work with the planning poker method. It is a free online tool with rooms, a deck of cards, a shared table, chat and round history.

The service is provided as it is today. Features may appear, change or disappear without notice.

Accounts and guest access

• A guest enters with just a name, without signing up. A guest account is temporary: after 30 days without a visit it is deleted along with the list of rooms and cannot be restored.
• When you sign up, use a working email address. It is the only way to recover access.
• You are responsible for keeping your password safe. If you notice someone else in your account, change the password and write to us.
• An account is meant for one person. Do not share it: anything done under it counts as done by you.

What you may not do

If any of these rules is broken, the operator may end your access without notice and delete the room or the account.

• Break the law or violate other people’s rights.
• Put other people’s personal data, trade secrets or anything that must not reach outsiders into a room. A room is visible to everyone you let in or gave the link to.
• Insult, threaten or harass people, or send spam and advertising.
• Break the service, work around its limits, guess other people’s passwords, scan it for vulnerabilities or generate automated load.
• Pretend to be another person or a representative of the service.

Room content

Everything you enter (the room name, items, tags, messages) stays yours. Nobody reads or reviews it in advance, as the service has no moderation.

For the service to work, you allow the operator to store what you enter and show it to the members of your room. The content is not used for anything else.

The room owner decides who gets in and is responsible for what is posted there.

Availability and durability

The service is free and does not guarantee any level of availability. It may be unavailable due to an update, a failure or circumstances outside the operator’s control.

Rooms, history and accounts may be lost in a failure, during a data cleanup or if the service shuts down. Recovery from backups is not guaranteed, so keep a copy of anything important.

The service may be changed, suspended or shut down. The operator will try to give notice of a shutdown but is not obliged to.

No warranty and liability

The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind: not of uninterrupted operation, not of freedom from errors, not of fitness for your purposes.

Estimates made at the table are your team’s opinion. They are not advice or a promise from the service. Decisions and their consequences are yours.

The operator is not liable for lost profit, team downtime, missed deadlines or any indirect damages. Otherwise liability is limited to what the law allows.

Bug reports

The bug report form creates a public issue in the project repository on GitHub. It includes your text, the page address, your name and your email address, and anyone can read them.

By sending a report you agree to it being published. Do not put anything unnecessary into the form.

Ending the agreement

• You can stop using the service at any time without notifying anyone.
• To delete your account and all data linked to it, write to support@planningpoher.ru.
• The operator may end your access if these terms are broken or if the service shuts down.

Changes to these terms

A new version is published on this same page, and the date at the top shows when it took effect. By continuing to use the service after it appears, you accept the new version.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the Russian Federation.

Disputes are first settled by correspondence: write to us and we will sort it out. If that fails, the dispute goes to the court at the operator’s location.
