Terms of Use

1. Welcome to tingdo

tingdo is a personal, non-commercial project developed and maintained by Simon Wismeth, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. The Service

tingdo helps you organise tasks, projects, and notes following productivity principles. The service is available as a web application and as mobile apps for Android and iOS.

tingdo is developed and maintained by an independent developer. The service is available in a free tier and a paid tier. The free tier is provided without any warranty, service-level agreement, or guaranteed availability. The paid tier includes access to additional features as described at the time of purchase, but is likewise provided by an individual — not a company with a dedicated operations team. By using tingdo, you acknowledge this context.

3. Trademark Notice

tingdo is inspired by the Getting Things Done® (GTD®) methodology created by David Allen. Getting Things Done®, GTD®, GTD Weekly Review®, and Mind Like Water® are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company. tingdo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the David Allen Company.

4. Your Account

  • You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
  • You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

5. Your Content

Everything you create in tingdo — tasks, projects, notes, contexts — belongs to you.

  • Ownership: You retain full ownership of your content. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over what you create.
  • Licence to operate: By using the service, you grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.
  • Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the content you enter. We do not monitor, review, or moderate user content.
  • Export and backup: You can export your data at any time through the built-in export feature. We encourage you to do so regularly. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups — we cannot guarantee recovery of lost data.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the service for any unlawful purpose.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users’ data or to our systems.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the service or its infrastructure.
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the service without our permission.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account without notice if you violate these terms.

7. Service Availability

  • Actively developed: tingdo is under continuous development. We regularly ship improvements, which means things may occasionally change, break, or behave unexpectedly. We care about getting it right, but we provide the service on an “as is” and “as available” basis and cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
  • Offline capability: The app is designed to work offline. However, data synchronisation requires an internet connection, and we are not responsible for data conflicts arising from extended offline use on multiple devices.
  • Evolving features: We may add, change, or remove features at any time as the app grows. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes in advance.
  • Your backups matter: tingdo provides a data export feature so you can keep a copy of your data outside the service. Since we cannot guarantee against data loss, we recommend exporting your data regularly. In the event of data loss, our responsibility is limited to making reasonable efforts to restore from available backups — we do not guarantee full recovery.

8. Pricing and Subscriptions

tingdo offers a free tier and a paid tier. The free tier provides core task management features at no cost. The paid tier provides access to additional features and is billed on a recurring subscription basis.

  • Free tier: Available indefinitely at no charge. Features may change over time, but your existing data will remain accessible.
  • Paid tier: Pricing and included features are described at the point of purchase. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. Upon cancellation, you retain access to paid features until the end of the current billing period, after which your account reverts to the free tier. No data is deleted when downgrading.
  • Price changes: We reserve the right to adjust pricing for the paid tier. Existing subscribers will receive advance notice before any price change takes effect on their account.

9. Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time. Upon deletion, all your data — tasks, projects, notes, and account information — will be permanently removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • Free tier: The free tier is provided without consideration. No liability is assumed for damages arising from its use, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.
  • Paid tier: For the paid tier, liability is limited to the amount you have paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. This limitation does not apply to damages caused by intent or gross negligence, or to liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory provisions of German law.
  • General: We are not liable for any loss of data beyond what is described in our data retention and deletion policies. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages to the extent permitted by law.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service — both free and paid tiers — is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will meet your specific requirements, be available at all times, or operate without interruption. This disclaimer applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer under German or EU law.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the service shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
