Terms of Service

1. Provider

PlanBee is offered by a private individual in Switzerland:

You can reach us at the email address above.

2. The service

PlanBee helps you organise your school life: timetable, exams, grades, assignments, study times, events and reminders. PlanBee is free of charge. We keep developing PlanBee and may change, extend or restrict features.

If we decide to discontinue PlanBee, we will announce it at least 30 days in advance in PlanBee or by email, so that you can request a copy of your data before the service closes. If a serious security, legal or technical problem forces us to stop sooner, we will give as much notice as we reasonably can.

PlanBee is not an official school system. Grades, averages and dates in PlanBee are for your own planning; the information from your school always takes precedence.

3. Who may use PlanBee

You must be at least 13 years old to use PlanBee. If you are under 18, please read these Terms together with a parent or guardian. Each account may only be used by one person. The Privacy Policy explains how we handle data of young people.

4. Your account

• Use an email address that belongs to you.
• Keep your password secret and do not use it for other services. Tell us immediately if you think someone is misusing your account.
• Keep your calendar link to yourself: anyone who has it can see your schedule. If you shared it by mistake, contact us.
• You are responsible for activity in your account that you carry out or allow, or that results from you not taking reasonable care of your password or calendar link. You are not responsible for misuse that you could not reasonably prevent, in particular misuse caused by a fault or security incident on our side.

5. Your content

Everything you enter in PlanBee remains yours. You allow us to store, process and display it only as far as this is needed to operate, maintain and provide PlanBee to you, for example to send reminders or to create your calendar feed. We do not use your content for advertising and do not sell it.

Only enter content that you are allowed to use. Store information about other people, such as teacher names, only as far as you need it for your planning, and do not enter sensitive data such as health information. This helps keep your data safe; it does not replace our own obligation to protect your data.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve PlanBee.

6. Rules of use

You must not:

• use PlanBee for unlawful purposes or to store unlawful content;
• try to access other accounts, our systems or data that is not meant for you;
• disrupt or overload PlanBee, for example with automated mass requests, or bypass its security measures;
• misuse the feedback forms, for example for advertising or abusive messages.

If you break these rules, we may restrict or block your account to the extent that is proportionate to the breach. We will normally warn you first. We may act immediately if this is necessary to protect other users, data or PlanBee.

7. Availability

We do our best to keep PlanBee available and your data safe, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation. Reminders and emails may arrive late or not at all. Do not rely on PlanBee alone for important dates, deadlines or grades, and keep your own records of important information.

8. Liability

PlanBee is provided free of charge and on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for slight negligence or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where applicable law does not allow this, in particular liability for intent or gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using PlanBee at any time and delete your account in your profile. Your account is deleted immediately and your other data shortly afterwards. Copies in backups and logs are removed automatically within the periods stated in the Privacy Policy.

We may close your account with 30 days’ notice. We may close it earlier or immediately if there is good cause, such as a serious breach of these Terms or an urgent security risk.

10. Privacy

How we handle your personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy, which is linked at the bottom of this page. These Terms do not limit your rights under the Privacy Policy or data protection law.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We will inform you about significant changes in good time before they take effect, in PlanBee or by email. Where the law requires your consent, we will ask for it, and we will not treat silence or simply continuing to use PlanBee as consent. If you do not agree to a change, you can delete your account. The date at the top shows the current version.

12. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you use PlanBee as a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. You may bring proceedings before the competent courts in Switzerland or at your place of residence, as far as the law allows. Proceedings against you as a consumer can only be brought where mandatory law permits, usually at your place of residence.

13. Language and final provisions

These Terms are available in several languages. The English version is the reference version. Where versions differ, this will not be interpreted to your disadvantage, and mandatory law of your country of residence remains unaffected. If a provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force, and the invalid provision is replaced by what the law provides.
