These Terms and Conditions apply only to the conditions of use of the Application provided by the Service Provider and to the Service Provider’s liability, and shall not affect Atlassian’s liability for the operation of products developed by Atlassian. In the event that the provisions of these Terms and Conditions were in conflict with the terms of use of Atlassian Marketplace, the relevant provisions of the Atlassian Marketplace terms and conditions shall prevail, with which the User is obliged to become acquainted before purchasing the Service Provider’s Application.

Starting using the Application is conditioned upon prior purchase as well as installation and correct integration of the Application with the Confluence Cloud software pursuant to the Documentation and the terms and conditions of Atlassian Marketplace.
The costs of data transmission during using the Application shall be borne by the User on his own on the basis of a contract concluded with an entity providing such services.
Accessing the Application is in principle paid in accordance with the terms set out on the Application’s website on the Atlassian Marketplace. Using the Application is possible for an indefinite period in the subscription model, with the proviso that Atlassian Marketplace may also provide for a trial period during which the use of the Application is free of charge. All payments for subscription to the Application are made solely through the Atlassian Marketplace and in accordance with the payment methods and terms applicable on the Atlassian Marketplace.
The User may at any time and without giving a reason stop using the Application by uninstalling it himself from Confluence Cloud, with the proviso that it does not entitle the User to receive a refund of fee for unused access to the Application nor does it release him from the obligation to pay for the subscription period already started, unless the provisions of the Atlassian Marketplace terms and conditions provide otherwise (which does not limit the statutory right to withdraw from a contract by a consumer, as referred to in point 10 of the Terms and Conditions).
Uninstalling the Application does not automatically delete the User’s data that may be stored on the Service Provider’s server in accordance with the principles set out in the privacy policy. Uninstalling the Application is also without prejudice to any User data gathered on the User’s account in Confluence Cloud.
By installing the Application in Confluence Cloud, the User automatically grants access to the Application to all persons who are authorized to use the same Confluence Cloud installation together with the User (e.g. associates, employees, contractors). Access to the Application is limited to the number of people who meet the conditions of the subscription purchased by the User. If the Application is used by the persons referred to in the preceding sentence, the User is responsible for all actions and omissions of these persons as for their own actions and omissions. The User, by granting other persons access to the Application, is obliged to bind such persons with these Terms and Conditions and ensure that they comply with these Terms and Conditions.
The Service Provider reserves the right to suspend the User’s possibility to use the Application if the User, despite a request from the Service Provider stating a reason:

The Service Provider, in the event of suspension of the use of the Application by the User for more than 30 calendar days and the lack of cessation of the reasons for its suspension, has the right to terminate the agreement on the use of the Application with immediate effect.
The Service Provider, despite of right to suspend the use of the Application for the User, has the right to terminate the contract for the use of the Application without reason with a 7-day notice period given to a User who is not a consumer.

5) LIABILITY OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER

The Service Provider makes every effort to ensure that the use of the Application is understandable and transparent for Users, however, it cannot guarantee that the User will be able to operate the Application on his own or that it will prove useful in achieving the goals expected by the User. The Service Provider provides the Application in the form in which it was delivered and does not make any implied or expressed assurances as to its usefulness for specific applications, which does not exclude or limit the Service Provider’s liability towards the consumer for improper performance of the service provided for by mandatory provisions of law.
The Service Provider informs that the use of the Application is associated with risk. The basic threat to every user of computer software, including software operating in the cloud and using an Internet connection similarly to the Service Provider’s Application, is the possibility of “infecting” the ICT system by various types of software created mainly to cause damage, in particular computer viruses such as “worms” or “Trojan horses”. To avoid the risks associated herewith, it is recommended that the User provides his device that he uses to run the Application with an anti-virus program and constantly update it, as well as install the latest versions of the Application, Confluence Cloud software from Atlassian and the operating system of his end device.
Any statements and comments posted by Users in the Application contain their own opinions and do not constitute the opinion of the Service Provider. The Service Provider does not supervise the content published and sent by the User in the Application. The Service Provider complies with Art. 14 para. 1 of the Polish Act on the provision of electronic services of 18th July 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204, as amended), according to which: whoever is providing access to the resources of the ICT system for the purpose of storing data by the recipient of the services is not liable for stored data if he does not know about the unlawful nature of the data or related activities, and in the event of receiving an official notification or obtaining reliable information about the unlawful nature of the data or related activities thereto will immediately prevent access to such data.

6) CONTACT WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDER

The main means of standard communication at a distance with the Service Provider is electronic mail (e-mail address: contact@questions-answers-community.com), through which information about the use of the Application can be exchanged with the Service Provider regarding the use of the Application and obtain technical assistance in the field of the functioning of the Application.
Due to the international nature of the Application, the Service Provider recommends Users who wish to contact him to formulate all reports and statements in English - this will facilitate and accelerate the receipt of a response from the Service Provider.

7) COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION

The basis and scope of the Service Provider’s liability for the operation of the Application towards the User are defined by the generally applicable law, in particular the Polish Civil Code of April 23rd, 1964 (Journal of Laws No. 16, item 93, as amended). Complaints related to the functioning of the Application may be submitted by the User, for example, by e-mail (e-mail address: contact@questions-answers-community.com).
The Service Provider’s liability for the operation of the Application shall be without prejudice to Atlassian’s liability in terms of the distribution of the Application and reimbursement of subscription payments, which is subject to separate provisions of the Atlassian Marketplace terms and conditions available at the following website: https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/marketplace/termsofuse.
The Service Provider recommends providing in the complaint the following description: (1) information and circumstances regarding the subject of the complaint, in particular the type and date of irregularities; (2) the User’s claims; and (3) contact details of the person submitting the complaint - this will facilitate and accelerate the handling of the complaint by the Service Provider. The requirements set out in the previous sentence are only recommendations and do not affect the effectiveness of complaints submitted without the recommended information but may affect the final decision of the Service Provider regarding the assessment of the User’s claim.
The Service Provider shall respond to the complaint without undue delay, no later than within 30 calendar days from the date of its submission.

8) TECHNICAL BREAKS AND ERRORS

The Service Provider makes every effort to ensure the proper and uninterrupted operation of the Application. Due to the complexity and elaborateness of the Application, as well as due to external factors beyond the control of the Service Provider (e.g. DDOS attacks - distributed denial of service), it is possible, however, for errors and technical failures to prevent or limit the functioning of the Application in any way. In this case, the Service Provider will take all possible and reasonable measures to ensure the reduction of the negative effects of such events to the extent possible.
In addition to breaks caused by errors and technical failures, there may also be other technical breaks during which the Service Provider undertakes actions aimed at developing and maintaining the Application and its protection against technical errors and failures.
The Service Provider plans technical breaks in such a way that they are the least burdensome for the Users, in particular that they are planned for night hours and only for the time imperative to carry out the necessary actions by the Service Provider.
The Service Provider shall not be liable to the User for damages and failure to fulfill obligations arising from any technical errors and failures as well as technical breaks referred to in this section of the Terms and Conditions.
The hereby section of the Terms and Conditions does not exclude or limit the consumer’s rights provided for by law, in particular regarding the Service Provider’s liability for performance of the service.

10) CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE AGREEMENT

This section of the Terms and Conditions applies only to Users who are consumers and who conclude agreements with the Service Provider for the provision of services for remuneration.
A consumer is not entitled to withdraw from a distance contract, i.a. in relation to contracts: (1) for the provision of services, if the Service Provider has fully performed the service with the express consent of the consumer who was informed prior to commencement of the service that once the Service Provider has fulfilled the service, he shall lose the right to withdraw from the contract; and (2) for the supply of digital content that is not stored on a tangible medium, if the performance of the service began with the express consent of the consumer prior to the deadline to withdraw from the contract and after being informed by the Service Provider of the loss of the right to withdraw from the contract.
Subject to point 10.2 of the Terms and Conditions, a consumer who has concluded a distance contract may, within 14 calendar days, withdraw from it without giving a reason and without incurring costs, subject to the costs referred to in the next sentence. In the case of a contract for the provision of services, the performance of which - at the express request of the consumer - began before the deadline to withdraw from the contract, the consumer who exercises the right to withdraw from the contract after making such a request, is required to pay for services fulfilled until the withdrawal from the contract. The amount of payment is calculated in proportion to the scope of the service rendered, taking into account the price or remuneration agreed in the contract. If the price or remuneration is excessive, the basis for calculating this amount is the market value of the service provided.
To meet the deadline for withdrawing from the contract, it is sufficient to send a statement before its expiry. The User may also use the model withdrawal form, which constitutes Annex 2 to the Polish Act of 30th May 2014 on consumer rights (Journal of Laws of 2014, item 827, as amended), but it is not mandatory.
The deadline for withdrawing from the contract for the provision of services runs from the date of the contract conclusion.

The Service Provider has the right to withdraw from the agreement concluded with the User who is not a consumer within 14 calendar days from the date of its conclusion. Withdrawal from the agreement in this case may occur without giving a reason and does not give rise to any claims on the part of the User against the Service Provider.
The Service Provider does not guarantee to the User who is not a consumer that the Application is error-free or that the User who is not a consumer will be able to operate the Application without problems and disruptions. Moreover, due to the continuous development of new techniques of breaking into and attacking the Internet network, the Service Provider does not guarantee that the Application will be free from vulnerability to hacking or attacks.
The Service Provider is not obliged to verify the reliability, correctness and truthfulness of the content entered by the User who is not a consumer as part of the Application and the manner of using the Application and its functionalities. The User uses the Application, including introducing content into it and using its functionalities, at his own risk. However, the Service Provider is entitled at any time to take steps to verify the truthfulness, reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the User. In terms of verification, the Service Provider is entitled, among others to request from a User who is not a consumer to send a scan of the certificates, attestations or other documents necessary for verification. For the time of the verification referred to in the preceding sentence, the Service Provider is entitled to suspend the User’s right to use the Application.
The Service Provider shall not be liable to the Customer who is not a consumer for damages and failure to fulfill obligations resulting from force majeure events (e.g. hacking attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, riots, wars) or any other reasons beyond the control of the Service Provider.
The Service Provider shall be liable to the User who is not a consumer, regardless of its legal basis, only up to the amount of fees paid to the Service Provider by the Customer for using the Application for the period of the last three months. The Service Provider is liable to the User who is not a consumer only for typical and actually incurred damages foreseeable at the time of concluding the agreement for the use of the Application, excluding lost profits.
All disputes arising between the Service Provider and the User who is not a consumer shall be subject to the court competent for the Service Provider’s place of residence.

1. In the case of continuous contracts concluded under these Terms and Conditions, the amended Terms and Conditions shall bind the User if the User has been properly notified of the changes and has not terminated the contract within 14 calendar days of the date of notification.

2. In the event of conclusion of contracts other than continuous contracts on the basis of these Terms and Conditions, amendments to the Terms and Conditions will not in any way affect the User’s acquired rights before the date of entry into force of such amendments to the Terms and Conditions, in particular no changes to the Terms and Conditions shall affect already concluded, implemented or executed contracts.
In matters not covered by these Terms and Conditions, the generally applicable provisions of Polish law shall apply, in particular: the Civil Code of April 23rd, 1964 (Journal of Laws No. 16, item 93, as amended), the Act of May 30th, 2014 on consumer rights (Journal of Laws 2014 item 827, as amended), the Act on the provision of services by electronic means of July 18th, 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204, as amended) and other relevant provisions of generally applicable law.
