Terms of Service of The Busy App
Effective date: August 20, 2020
Please note that your use of and access to our services (defined below) are subject to the following terms; if you do not agree to all of the following, you may not use or access the services in any manner.
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and The Busy App. (“The Busy App” “we” and “us”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at art@thebusyapp.com.
You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your using the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.
Will these Terms ever change?
We are constantly improving our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time.
If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.
Sending Limits
The Busy App software will attempt to send your email campaign to your email recipients, but we cannot guarantee that your emails will be delivered. Because we rely on Google’s infrastructure from sending, you agree that we cannot be held responsible if your particular Gmail or G Suite account has reached its capacity, as determined by Google. We publish guidelines, based on Google’s guidelines, of an account’s maximum sending capacity, but they are just guidelines, and not hard rules.
Gmail and G Suite account suspensions or closures
The Busy App cannot be held responsible if Google suspends or terminates your Google or Gmail account because of The Busy App use. Ultimately, you are responsible for the email activity inside your Gmail account. You understand and agree that The Busy App is designed to automate the response to recipients emails if you’ve added an event in your “The Busy App” calendar through your Google account, and it is your responsibility to adhere to Google’s own terms and conditions. The Busy App has no ability to reinstate a Google account should Google decide to suspend or terminate it.
Subscriptions & Account deletions
You understand that if you subscribe to a paid The Busy App account using a credit card or PayPal account, you will be charged a monthly or annual fee, based on the plan you choose, until you cancel your subscription.
If you wish to delete your account then please email art@thebusyapp.com
Canceling a subscription
