Terms of Use

Effective Date: March 20, 2025

Welcome to PortEden. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PortEden's calendars, data firewall, AI security platform, subscription services, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service — including by accepting a Resource Invite, completing an OAuth authorization flow, or interacting with the Service in any capacity — you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service or accept any invitations.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

By using the Service, you confirm that you accept these Terms. If you are acting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you are a Resource accepting an Invite Sync (as defined in Section 5), you acknowledge that you are a user of the Service and are bound by these Terms in their entirety, including all limitations of liability, disclaimers, indemnification, and dispute resolution provisions.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account or make purchases. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

2. Acceptable Use

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@porteden.com if you suspect unauthorized access. PortEden is not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized use of your account.

Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Service only for authorized data security purposes. You shall not:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, spam, or unauthorized access to third-party systems
  • Attempt to bypass, disable, or circumvent security controls, firewall rules, or access policies enforced by the Service
  • Access, collect, or process data beyond what you are authorized to manage
  • Introduce malware, interfere with Service operation, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
  • Misuse, redistribute, or sell data obtained through the Service
  • Use the Invite Sync feature to send invites to individuals with whom you have no legitimate relationship, or use the feature for the purpose of harassment, unauthorized surveillance, stalking, data harvesting, or any unlawful purpose
  • Impersonate another person or entity when sending Resource Invites, or misrepresent your identity or the purpose of the data synchronization

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for violations.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

Free and Pro Tiers

The Service offers a free tier with limited features and a paid Pro tier with increased API limits, additional access tokens, and priority support. Feature availability and limits for each tier are described on the pricing page and may change from time to time.

Recurring Billing

The Pro Plan is billed on a recurring basis at the interval you select (monthly or yearly). By subscribing, you authorize PortEden to charge your designated payment method automatically at the beginning of each billing cycle until you cancel. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.

Payment Processing

All payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. PortEden does not store your full credit card number on its servers. By providing payment information, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.

Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' prior notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following the notice period. Your continued use of the Pro Plan after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Cancellation

You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal or your account settings. Upon cancellation, your Pro access will continue until the end of your current paid billing period. After that, your account will revert to the free tier. Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account.

Taxes

All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes (including sales tax, VAT, and similar levies) unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for all taxes associated with your subscription. If we are required to collect taxes, they will be added to your invoice.

No Refunds

All subscription charges are non-refundable. No prorated refunds or credits will be issued for partial billing periods, downgrade, or unused time, except as required by applicable law.

Chargebacks and Disputes

If you believe a charge is incorrect, you must contact us at support@porteden.com before initiating a chargeback with your payment provider. Filing a fraudulent or unwarranted chargeback may result in immediate suspension of your account and collection of any fees incurred by PortEden as a result of the dispute.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and/or suspend your Pro access until payment is successfully processed. You are responsible for ensuring your payment method is current and has sufficient funds. If payment cannot be collected after reasonable attempts, your subscription may be cancelled.

4. Referral Program

PortEden may, at its sole discretion, offer a referral program that allows eligible users to invite others to create a PortEden account. Participation in the referral program is subject to the following terms, which govern PortEden's entire relationship with participants regarding any referral activity.

Discretionary Nature of the Program

The referral program is offered entirely at PortEden's discretion and may be modified, paused, suspended, or permanently terminated at any time, with or without prior notice, and without any liability to current or past participants. Changes may include, without limitation, alterations to eligibility requirements, reward types, reward amounts, referral slot limits, qualification criteria, or program availability.

No Monetary Value

Any credits, bonus API calls, or other incentives awarded through the referral program ("Referral Credits") have no cash or monetary value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable. Referral Credits cannot be redeemed for cash, applied as a payment credit toward any subscription fee, or exchanged for any other form of compensation. Referral Credits are provided solely as a limited, revocable benefit within the Service and expire upon account termination or program discontinuation.

Eligibility

To participate in the referral program, you must hold an active PortEden account in good standing. The following are prohibited and will result in disqualification:

  • Self-referrals, including creating duplicate or secondary accounts to generate Referral Credits
  • Referrals obtained through spam, misleading communications, automated systems, bots, or any deceptive means
  • Any manipulation of the referral system intended to circumvent program limits or artificially inflate rewards

Credit Conditions

Referral Credits are awarded only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified by PortEden at the time of the referral, which may include requirements such as the referred user creating a valid account and completing a qualifying action (e.g., first sync). PortEden reserves the right to withhold or revoke Referral Credits if either the referring or referred user violates these Terms or engages in fraudulent or abusive conduct.

Abuse and Fraud

PortEden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revoke Referral Credits, suspend or terminate account access, and pursue any available legal remedies in connection with suspected or confirmed abuse, manipulation, fraud, or violation of these Terms. PortEden's determination of abuse or fraud is final.

No Entitlement

Participation in the referral program does not create any contractual right, entitlement, or expectation of continued program availability, specific reward amounts, referral slot allocations, or any other program benefit. PortEden may change or eliminate any aspect of the program without creating liability to any participant.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PortEden, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your participation in the referral program, including any representations you make to referred users regarding the program or the Service.

5. Resource Invite Synchronization

PortEden enables account holders ("Operators") to invite external users ("Resources") to synchronize their personal data — including calendar, email, file storage, task management, and other connected system data — with the Operator's account via OAuth authorization. This process is referred to as "Invite Sync."

Roles and Responsibilities

The Operator who initiates an Invite Sync is solely responsible for determining the purposes and means of using the Resource's data. PortEden's role is limited to facilitating the technical connection between the Resource's account and the Operator's workspace at the direction of the Operator and with the consent of the Resource. PortEden does not independently decide what data is collected, how it is used, or to whom it is disclosed — those decisions are made by the Operator and authorized by the Resource.

PortEden does not verify the identity, legitimacy, or authorization of the inviting Operator. The Resource bears sole responsibility for confirming that they recognize and trust the sender before authorizing any data access. PortEden strongly recommends that Resources only accept invites from known and trusted senders.

Operator Obligations

By using the Invite Sync feature, the Operator represents, warrants, and agrees that:

  • They will only send invites to individuals with whom they have a legitimate business, organizational, or personal relationship
  • They will comply with all applicable federal, state, and international privacy and data protection laws governing their collection and use of Resource data — including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), and any other applicable U.S. state privacy laws
  • They will not use synced Resource data for any unlawful purpose, including unauthorized surveillance, harassment, stalking, discrimination, or any purpose unrelated to the stated reason for the invite
  • They are solely responsible for providing their own privacy disclosures to Resources regarding how they will use the synced data
  • They will implement and maintain appropriate security measures to protect any Resource data they receive through the Service

Consent and Authorization

By checking the consent checkbox and completing the OAuth authorization flow, the Resource acknowledges and agrees that:

  • They are voluntarily granting the requested access scopes to the Operator
  • They have reviewed and understood the security warning presented during the invite flow
  • They have confirmed the identity of the sender to their own satisfaction
  • They have read and agreed to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy

Scope of Access Granted

The Service may access, process, and synchronize data from one or more of the following scopes, depending on the configuration and authorizations granted:

  • Calendar — read and write access to calendar events and scheduling data
  • Email — read and send access to email messages and metadata
  • Drive — read and write access to files and documents
  • Tasks — read and write access to task lists, assignments, and task metadata
  • Other Connected Systems — read and/or write access to any additional third-party services or data sources supported by PortEden

Users should carefully review the requested permissions before granting access.

Revocation

The Resource may disconnect and revoke access at any time by removing the application's permissions through their Google or Microsoft account settings. The Operator may also revoke the invite or disconnect the Resource from their account at any time. Upon revocation, PortEden will cease synchronizing data, but data already shared with the Operator prior to revocation cannot be recalled by PortEden.

Assumption of Risk

By accepting a Resource Invite and authorizing data access, the Resource expressly acknowledges and assumes all risks associated with granting a third party access to their personal data, including but not limited to the risk that the Operator may misuse, improperly disclose, fail to secure, or otherwise mishandle the synced data. The Resource agrees that PortEden has provided adequate warnings and disclosures through the consent flow, and that the decision to authorize access is made entirely at the Resource's own risk and discretion.

Limitation of Liability for Invite Sync

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • PortEden is not liable for any misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or improper handling of data by the Operator after the Resource grants access. The Operator is solely responsible for their use of synced data
  • PortEden is not liable for invite links shared with unintended recipients. The Operator is responsible for ensuring invites are sent to the correct parties
  • PortEden is not liable for phishing attempts, fraudulent communications, or social engineering attacks that impersonate PortEden invite links outside the platform
  • PortEden does not guarantee the identity or legitimacy of any inviting party. The Resource must independently verify the sender's identity before authorizing access
  • The consent flow — consisting of a security warning, sender confirmation prompt, and terms checkbox — constitutes informed consent from the Resource. Completion of this flow indicates that the Resource has made a voluntary, informed decision to grant access

6. Data Processing and Security Operations

Important Notice: By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the following:

  • Data Inspection: Your data, including content passing through the firewall, may be inspected, filtered, logged, and analyzed to enforce security policies and detect threats
  • AI Agent Monitoring: Interactions between AI agents and your data are monitored, logged, and may be restricted based on your configured policies
  • Audit Trails: The Service generates audit logs of data access, policy enforcement events, and security incidents for your review
  • Third-Party Integrations: Your use must comply with all terms of connected services and AI platforms. PortEden is not responsible for the conduct or policies of third-party AI providers

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. PortEden does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that the results obtained from the Service will be accurate or reliable, or that the quality of the Service will meet your expectations.

No Warranty of Functionality

You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Service may contain bugs, errors, defects, or vulnerabilities that may result in unexpected behavior, data loss, data corruption, or unintended exposure of information
  • The Service may be interrupted, unavailable, degraded, or experience downtime — whether due to maintenance, updates, system failures, or circumstances beyond PortEden's control
  • PortEden does not guarantee that the Service will meet your specific requirements, produce any particular results, or be compatible with any other software, hardware, or systems
  • Features, functionality, and interfaces may change, be deprecated, or be removed at any time without prior notice

Data Integrity and Preservation

PortEden does not warrant the integrity, accuracy, completeness, preservation, or continued availability of any data stored, processed, or transmitted through the Service. You acknowledge that:

  • Software bugs, errors, system failures, or other technical issues may result in the loss, corruption, deletion, or unintended exposure of your data
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all data you store or process through the Service
  • PortEden has no obligation to recover, restore, or replace any data that is lost, corrupted, or otherwise rendered unavailable for any reason
  • Third-party integrations, API changes, or service disruptions by external providers may affect the availability or accuracy of your data within the Service

Invite Sync Disclaimers

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PortEden makes no warranties or representations regarding:

  • The accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data obtained through the Invite Sync feature
  • The identity, legitimacy, intentions, or conduct of any Operator or Resource using the Invite Sync feature
  • The security practices or data handling procedures of any Operator who receives Resource data through the Service
  • The continued availability or functionality of third-party OAuth providers (Google, Microsoft) that the Invite Sync feature relies upon

Security Disclaimers

You acknowledge that no security system is impenetrable. While PortEden employs commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, you agree that:

  • PortEden does not guarantee protection against data breaches, unauthorized access, hacking, cyberattacks, data loss, data corruption, or data leaks — whether through AI agents, third-party integrations, or any other vector
  • Security measures reduce risk but cannot eliminate it entirely
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups, access controls, security practices, and compliance with applicable laws

Assumption of Risk

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. You expressly acknowledge and agree that PortEden shall not be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, or harm resulting from:

  • Your use of, or inability to use, the Service
  • Any bugs, errors, defects, or vulnerabilities in the Service
  • Service interruptions, outages, or unavailability
  • Loss, corruption, deletion, or unauthorized access to your data, regardless of cause
  • Failures, changes, or disruptions in third-party services, APIs, or integrations relied upon by the Service
  • Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data
  • Any other matter relating to the Service

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PortEden shall not be liable for any: (a) data breaches, data loss, data leaks, data corruption, unauthorized access, hacking, or security incidents; (b) service interruptions, outages, downtime, or unavailability; (c) software bugs, errors, defects, or vulnerabilities; (d) system failures, hardware malfunctions, or infrastructure issues; (e) failures, changes, or disruptions in third-party services, APIs, or integrations; (f) compatibility issues with other software, hardware, or systems; (g) loss of data due to any cause whatsoever; or (h) any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, reputational harm, or cost of substitute services — arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if PortEden has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

PortEden's total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of $50 USD or the amounts you paid to PortEden in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. In such jurisdictions, PortEden's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

8. Intellectual Property and License

All intellectual property in the Service belongs to PortEden or its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You retain ownership of your data but grant us the rights necessary to operate and improve the Service.

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for violations of these Terms or as required by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 5 (Resource Invite Synchronization), 7 (Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), and 11 (Governing Law and Disputes) survive termination.

Cancelling a subscription and deleting your account are separate actions. Cancelling your subscription reverts you to the free tier but does not delete your account or data. Any unpaid fees or charges incurred before termination remain due and payable.

10. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless PortEden, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law; (d) your infringement of any third-party rights; or (e) your use of the Invite Sync feature — including but not limited to any claims by Resources or third parties arising from your access to, use of, disclosure of, or failure to secure data obtained through Resource Invites. This indemnification obligation applies whether you participate in the Invite Sync feature as an Operator or as a Resource, and survives termination of your account.

11. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Texas, on an individual basis (no class actions). You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of accepting these Terms by emailing support@porteden.com.

12. General Provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and PortEden regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

Force Majeure. PortEden shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, internet or infrastructure outages, or third-party service failures.
