1. General Provisions

1.1. This User Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") governs the relations between the Administration and a natural person (hereinafter the "User") arising from the use of the Brick application (hereinafter the "App") — the mobile application for Android and iOS and its web version opened in a browser — and related services.

1.2. By starting to use the App, the User confirms that they have read the terms of the Agreement and accepts them in full. If the User does not agree with the terms, they must stop using the App and delete it from the device.

1.3. The processing of the User's data is described in the App's Privacy Policy, published in the same place as this Agreement; the Policy is an integral part of this Agreement.

1.4. The Administration may unilaterally amend the terms of the Agreement. The current version is always available at the place where the Agreement is published. The date of the last revision is indicated at the beginning of this document.

2. Terms

  • App — the Brick application for the Android and iOS platforms, as well as its web version, including all of its features and updates.
  • Web version — the variant of the App that runs in a browser without installation, at the address published by the Administration.
  • Board (project) — a plan created by the User: a name and a set of Bricks.
  • Brick — an element of a Board: the text of a task, its description, a list of mistakes to avoid, a completion mark and nested Bricks.
  • User Content — everything the User enters into the App: the names of Boards, the texts, descriptions and lists of mistakes of Bricks.
  • Account — the User's profile created when signing in with an email address.

3. Subject Matter of the Agreement

3.1. The Administration grants the User the right to use the App under a simple (non-exclusive) free-of-charge license, in the territory of all countries of the world, for the term of the exclusive right, to the extent determined by the App's functionality.

3.2. The App enables the User to:

  • create Boards and lay a goal out as Bricks, including nested ones;
  • rearrange Bricks, describe them and keep a list of mistakes to avoid;
  • mark Bricks as done, undo and redo actions;
  • pin Boards in the list and search through them;
  • create an Account and synchronize their Boards between their own devices.

3.3. The App is provided on an "as is" basis. The Administration does not guarantee uninterrupted and error-free operation of the App and may change, supplement, or discontinue individual features.

3.4. The core functionality of the App — creating and editing Boards and Bricks — works offline, without an Internet connection. A connection is used only for signing in to the Account, synchronizing Boards, transmitting depersonalized statistics on the App's operation (see the Privacy Policy) and, in the web version, for loading the App itself.

4. Account

4.1. An Account is created when signing in with an email address confirmed by a one-time code. No password is used.

4.2. An Account is not required: without signing in, the App retains its full functionality, and data is stored only on the User's device.

4.3. The User undertakes to provide a valid email address to which they have access and is solely responsible for the safekeeping of access to it and for all actions performed under their Account.

4.4. One User corresponds to one Account. Transferring an Account to third parties is not permitted.

4.5. Synchronization transfers the User's Boards between their own devices and does not involve publishing Boards, showing them to other users, or exchanging data between users.

4.6. A sign-in session is renewed automatically while the User uses the App. If the server has stopped accepting the session, the App offers to sign in again; the Boards and unsynchronized edits stay on the device.

5. Synchronization and Data Safety

This section is a material term of the use of the App.

5.1. Synchronization is not a backup service. The Administration does not guarantee the safety of synchronized data and recommends not treating the App as the only storage location for plans that are significant to the User.

5.2. When the versions of one Board diverge between devices, the version with the later edit time is kept — as a whole, without merging individual Bricks. Edits made in the earlier version are lost in that case. An edit made after the deletion of a Board restores the Board.

5.3. The User is solely responsible for the safety of the data on their device. If the device is lost, broken, or reset, or if the App is deleted, Boards that have not been synchronized with the Account are lost irretrievably.

5.4. In the web version, the storage is managed by the browser, and it may clear the storage without the User's involvement — in private mode, when running out of space or according to the site settings. Boards that have not been synchronized with the Account are lost in that case. To keep Boards in the web version, signing in to the Account is recommended.

6. User Content

6.1. The rights to User Content belong to the User. The Administration acquires no rights to it and uses it solely to provide the service — storing and synchronizing Boards between the User's devices.

6.2. The User is solely responsible for User Content, including compliance with the rights of third parties and the requirements of the law when creating it. User Content is stored on the User's device and, when an Account is used, on the Administration's server; the Administration does not read it, does not moderate it and does not subject it to prior review.

6.3. The User undertakes not to place in the App information whose dissemination is prohibited by law, or personal data of third parties without a lawful basis.

7. Rights and Obligations of the User

7.1. The User may use the App to plan their own projects — personal and work-related — within the scope of its functionality.

7.2. The User undertakes:

  • to comply with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law;
  • not to decompile or modify the App and not to create derivative products based on it, except as expressly permitted by law;
  • not to take actions that disrupt the normal operation of the App and its server side, including automated data collection, circumvention of restrictions and attempts to access other users' Accounts and Boards.

8. Rights and Obligations of the Administration

8.1. The Administration undertakes to keep the App operational within the limits of its available technical capabilities and to process data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

8.2. The Administration may:

  • change the App's functionality and the terms on which the App is provided;
  • require the App to be updated to the current version: the server side may stop serving outdated versions, of which the App informs the User;
  • restrict or terminate the User's access to the server side of the App if the User violates the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of the law.

8.3. The Administration has no access to data that has not been transferred to the server as part of synchronization.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1. The exclusive rights to the App, its interface, program code, graphic elements and texts belong to the Administration.

9.2. The rights to User Content remain with the User (section 6). Boards created by the User in the App may be used by the User freely, including being passed to third parties in any way available to the User.

9.3. The Roboto font used in the App is distributed under the Apache License 2.0; the license text is included in the App.

10. Third-Party Services

10.1. The App uses third-party services whose operation is governed by their own terms:

The Administration also engages technical infrastructure providers to host the server side of the App and to deliver sign-in code emails; they act on behalf of the Administration to the extent necessary to provide the respective service. The server side is hosted in the territory of the Russian Federation.

10.2. The Administration is not responsible for the operation and terms of third-party services.

11. Personal Data

11.1. The procedure for the collection, processing, storage, and deletion of data is described in the App's Privacy Policy.

11.2. By starting to use the App, the User consents to the processing of their data under the terms of the Privacy Policy. Consent may be withdrawn by deleting the Account, as well as by ceasing to use the App and deleting it from the device.

12. Cost and Absence of Paid Features

12.1. The App is provided free of charge. There are no paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in the current version.

12.2. No advertising is placed in the App.

12.3. The Administration may introduce paid features in future versions. The terms on which they are provided are communicated to the User before the User makes a payment. Functionality previously available free of charge is not restricted in that case, unless expressly stated otherwise by the Administration.

13. Web Version

13.1. The web version is available in a browser at the address published by the Administration and requires no installation. It needs a modern browser with support for a secure connection (HTTPS); the first load requires a network connection.

13.2. The web version provides the same functionality as the mobile application, except for capabilities the browser on a particular device does not have.

13.3. Data safety in the web version is described in clause 5.4; the use of cookies and browser storage — in the Privacy Policy.

14. Limitation of Liability

14.1. The App is provided "as is". The Administration is not liable for any losses arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the App, including the loss of Boards and any consequences of decisions made on their basis.

14.2. The Administration does not guarantee that the App meets the User's expectations or is suitable for the User's planning purposes.

14.3. The Administration's liability is in any case limited to the amount paid by the User for the use of the App.

15. Term and Termination

15.1. The Agreement is effective from the moment the User starts using the App and until the App is deleted from the User's device or the User's Account is deleted.

15.2. The User may stop using the App at any time:

  • by deleting the App from the device or, in the web version, by clearing the site data in the browser;
  • by signing out of the Account via Settings → "Account" → "Sign out";
  • by deleting the Account together with all data via Settings → "Account" → the delete icon → "Delete all data".

15.3. The Administration may unilaterally terminate the Agreement and block the Account if the User violates the terms of the Agreement.

16. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

16.1. This Agreement is governed by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

16.2. Disputes shall be resolved through negotiations and, if no agreement is reached, in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
