fibb terms of service

1. In short

fibb is a planning poker tool — team estimation of work items. These terms say what the service offers, on what conditions, and where you complain when it does not work.

• The service is free of charge. There is no paid plan, because none exists.
• You need no account to play. A room code and a nickname are enough, and using the service means accepting these terms.
• A room stops being reachable 7 days after it is created. The record of the session is kept — see section 5.
• You keep every right the law gives you. Nothing here takes away a consumer's statutory rights.

What we do with your personal data is not in this document. That is the privacy policy, and it is a separate document under its own address.

2. Who provides the service

The service is provided by PB Consulting Piotr Bączyk, ul. Młynarska 42/115, 01-171 Warszawa, Poland, VAT ID: PL7231607384, REGON: 369435597.

You can reach us at contact@fibb.dev. That is the address for questions about these terms, for complaints, and for a copy of an earlier version of this document.

3. What the service does

A room is one planning poker session. Whoever creates a room gets a code, and anybody holding that code can enter the room. Inside a room the team estimates work items round by round: everybody votes on the same item, the votes stay hidden while the round runs, and the result is shown when the round is revealed.

A participant enters a room with its code, gives a nickname, casts a vote in the round that is running, and sees the result once it is revealed. A participant who prefers to watch can enter as an observer and cast no vote.

A facilitator is the participant who runs the room. A facilitator opens and reveals a round, sets the deck the room votes with, and changes the room's settings. Whoever creates the room is its facilitator.

An operator account is a separate relationship. Accounts exist for running the instance, not for playing: they are how somebody administering this deployment signs in. Registration is closed by default and the operator creates accounts. You never need one in order to enter a room and vote.

We describe here only what the service does today. A feature enters this document together with itself rather than ahead of itself.

4. What you need, and what you may not do

Technical requirements. You need a device with a current web browser and a working internet connection, with JavaScript and cookies enabled. The service works in the current versions of the common browsers; we cannot undertake that it works in a browser that has stopped receiving updates.

Cookies. The service cannot work without the cookies the privacy policy describes as necessary. Blocking them in your browser means you cannot enter a room and stay in it. The cookies that only remember your preferences can be blocked with no effect on the service.

Unlawful content is prohibited. You may not supply unlawful content through the service. The prohibition binds the two fields where you type free text: the nickname you give when joining and the room name. Everybody else in the room sees both, so treat them as public. This means, among other things, no content that infringes somebody else's rights, offends, threatens, or breaks the law in any other way.

5. How the contract begins and ends

You register nothing. The contract for the service is concluded when you enter a room — that is, when you give a room code and a nickname and join the session. From that moment these terms bind both sides.

Using the service means accepting these terms. There is no separate acceptance step: no checkbox, no consent sentence under a button, and we record no consent of yours anywhere. The law asks that the terms be made available to you before the contract is concluded, and this page under a fixed address is how that is done.

You end the contract by leaving the room. Close the page or leave the session and the contract ends; nothing has to be cancelled, because nothing was registered.

A room stops being reachable 7 days from its creation. After that nobody can enter it. We keep the record of the session — the room, the participants, the rounds and the votes — so that a past session stays readable to whoever runs the instance. Becoming unreachable is not the same as deletion, and this document does not claim otherwise. How long we keep that record, and why, is in the privacy policy.

We may end the contract where you break these terms — in particular where you supply unlawful content — by removing access to the room.

6. The service is free of charge

The service is free of charge. We charge nothing for entering a room, for voting, or for anything else the service does. There is no paid plan, no trial period and no feature you have to pay for, because none of those exists.

7. Availability

The service is provided as it is. We give no undertaking about availability and publish no availability figure of any kind — no percentage and no target. A figure nothing enforces would be a promise nobody keeps.

We reserve technical breaks, for maintenance and for repair, and we reserve the right to change the service or to discontinue it. Where a break is planned and we can say so in advance, we will.

8. Liability

Our liability is limited as far as the law allows.

The service supports a team's estimation of work; the estimates are the team's, and what anybody does with them is the team's decision. We are not liable for a decision taken on the strength of a session, for an estimate being wrong, or for the loss of a session's record.

Nothing in this section limits liability that the law does not permit us to limit — in particular liability for harm caused deliberately, and a consumer's statutory rights.

9. Complaints

Write a complaint to contact@fibb.dev.

The complaint should state who is making it and how to reply — an address we can answer at is enough — what the complaint concerns, when it happened, and what you want done about it. Where the complaint concerns a specific room, the room code helps us find the session.

We answer within 14 days of receiving the complaint, on paper or on another durable medium. Where a complaint comes from a consumer and we do not answer within that time, the law treats the complaint as accepted.

10. If you are a consumer

A consumer keeps every right the law gives them. Nothing in this document takes away or limits a right a consumer has under the law, and where anything here would conflict with such a right, the right applies.

Out of court, a consumer has several routes. A consumer may ask the voivodeship trade inspectorate — the wojewódzki inspektorat Inspekcji Handlowej — to conduct mediation or to hear the dispute before its permanent consumer arbitration court. A consumer may also ask a municipal or district consumer ombudsman for free advice and help, or turn to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, UOKiK, whose consumer helpline answers questions about consumer rights. Using any of these routes is voluntary, for both sides.

Chapter 5b of the Consumer Rights Act does not apply here. That chapter covers digital content and digital services supplied where the consumer gives personal data instead of a price, and it does not cover the case where the data is processed solely in order to supply the service. On what the privacy policy states we collect, that is the case here, so the conformity and withdrawal machinery of that chapter does not attach.

11. Which law applies, and which court

Polish law applies to these terms and to the contract concluded under them.

A consumer does not lose the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where they habitually reside. Choosing Polish law cannot take that protection away, and this sentence says so rather than leaving it to be inferred.

A dispute with a consumer is heard by the court competent under the general rules. We name no court of our own choosing, because a clause imposing a court that is not the one the law makes competent is a prohibited contractual term against a consumer.

12. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms — because the service changes, or because the law does. We publish the change by replacing this document and raising its version. The version and both dates are at the top of this page, which is how you tell that something changed: a participant leaves us no address to write to.

We keep earlier versions and send you one on request. Write to contact@fibb.dev and we will send you the version that was in force on the day you ask about. There is no public archive of earlier versions today, and this document points at none.

A change that concerns a new feature enters this document together with itself rather than ahead of itself — we do not describe here what the service does not yet do.
