This User Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you ("you", "your", or "User") and Oppalin ("Oppalin", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of the Oppalin service available at oppalin.com (the "Service").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Note for users in the EEA, UK, California, Brazil, and other jurisdictions with mandatory consumer protection laws: Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit, override, or waive any rights you have under applicable law.
Contents
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. Where local law requires a higher minimum age, you must meet that higher minimum.
If you are between 16 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Service.
The Service is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
You also represent that you are not located in a country subject to a comprehensive embargo by the Brazilian government, the United Nations, the European Union, or the United States.
To use most features of the Service, you must create an Account. Account authentication is provided by our identity partner (currently Clerk).
You agree to provide accurate and current information, keep your credentials confidential, notify us promptly at security@oppalin.com if you suspect unauthorized access, and take responsibility for all activity under your Account.
The Service is a web-based collaborative canvas for organizing references, notes, images, and works-in-progress on shareable Boards.
The Service is under active development. Features may be added, modified, or removed. Some features may be offered as beta or experimental and may not function reliably.
We aim to keep the Service available continuously, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of any Content that matters to you.
The Service offers a free tier and one or more paid Subscription plans. Current pricing is listed at oppalin.com/pricing and forms part of this Agreement.
Payments are processed by Stripe. By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment card details on our systems.
Paid Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis until you cancel. Each renewal is charged automatically using your saved payment method.
You may cancel your Subscription at any time from your Account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Except where required by applicable law, paid Subscriptions are non-refundable. EEA/UK consumers have the right to withdraw within 14 days of purchase. To request a refund within an applicable statutory window, contact billing@oppalin.com.
We will provide at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app notification before price changes apply to existing subscribers.
Listed prices may exclude applicable taxes (VAT, GST, ICMS, or sales tax), which will be added at checkout where required by law.
You retain all ownership rights in the Content you upload or create on the Service.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only as needed for technical operation), display, and transmit your Content solely to provide and operate the Service. This license ends when you delete the Content or your Account, except for backup copies retained for up to 90 days.
You represent that you own your Content or have all rights necessary to upload and share it, and that it does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any law.
Each contributor retains ownership of their own Content. The Board owner controls Board-level settings. Departing collaborators' Content remains on the Board unless affirmatively removed before losing access, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
When you make a Board accessible by link or publicly, anyone with access may view, copy, or save visible Content. You are responsible for the privacy settings you choose.
We may remove Content that we reasonably believe violates this Agreement, infringes third-party rights, or violates applicable law.
If you believe Content on the Service infringes your intellectual property rights, send a notice to copyright@oppalin.com with your contact info, a description of the work, the URL of the allegedly infringing Content, a good-faith belief statement, and your signature. Repeat infringers' Accounts will be terminated.
"Lifetime" means the operational lifetime of the Service, not the lifetime of the User. If we permanently discontinue the Service, the Founders' Lifetime License ends with it.
The Founders' Lifetime License grants continued access to features designated as "Pro" at the time of purchase and a 20 GB storage allocation. It does not grant access to features introduced in higher-tier paid plans after purchase, additional storage, or transferability.
The Founders' Lifetime License is sold for a one-time fee. No further payments are required for continued access to the licensed features.
The statutory withdrawal periods described in Section 5.5 apply. After the applicable window, the one-time fee is non-refundable except where required by law.
We will not silently move existing Pro features into higher tiers in a way that strips Founders' Lifetime License holders of features they were granted at purchase.
The Founders' Lifetime License terminates only if you materially breach this Agreement, the Service is permanently discontinued, or you delete your Account.
You agree not to:
All rights in and to the Service — including software, design, brand, trademarks, logos, and documentation — are owned by Oppalin or its licensors. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any rights in the Oppalin IP to you, except the limited right to use the Service.
If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose, without compensation or attribution.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and LGPD.
The Service integrates with Stripe (payments), Clerk (authentication), and Cloudflare (hosting, storage, and content delivery). A current list is maintained in our Privacy Policy.
You may delete your Account at any time from Account settings or by contacting support@oppalin.com.
We may suspend or terminate your access for material breach of this Agreement, repeated Acceptable Use violations, legal requirements, or for convenience with at least 30 days' notice and a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees.
Your right to use the Service ends. We may delete your Content after a reasonable retention period. Sections 6.2, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19 survive termination.
We may modify, add, or remove features. We will not make changes that materially reduce the core functionality of paid Subscriptions during a paid term without offering affected subscribers a pro-rata refund or equivalent remedy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. Nothing in this section limits warranties that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer protection law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. Our total aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of (a) amounts you paid us in the preceding 12 months, or (b) USD 100. These limits do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Oppalin and its officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims arising out of your Content, your use of the Service in breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right. This obligation does not apply to consumers where restricted by applicable law.
For material changes, we'll provide at least 30 days' advance notice by email or in-app notice. For non-material changes, we may make them effective immediately and update the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Disputes will be submitted to the courts of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Consumers may also bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence where mandatory local law so provides. Before filing any formal claim, contact us at legal@oppalin.com and attempt informal resolution in good faith for at least 30 days.
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific terms, is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights under this Agreement without our prior written consent.
By using Oppalin, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this User Agreement.
