terms

what you are agreeing to

Using mrrplanet.com means accepting what is on this page. It is written to be read once, in plain sentences, and it says what you can expect from the product and what the product expects from you.

The privacy notice is the other half of it, and it covers everything about data: what is read, what is kept, and who else touches it.

your account

An account is one verified email address, signed in through Google or GitHub. Keep control of that address — anybody who can sign in with it can see everything your account can see, including the worlds you have not published.

You need to be old enough to enter a contract where you live, and to be acting for yourself or for a business you are allowed to act for.

the account you connect

You may only connect Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Dodo Payments or RevenueCat — or any other provider offered here — for a business you own or are authorised to read. Use a read-only or restricted key: this app never needs to move money, and giving it a key that can is your risk rather than a feature.

Your provider’s own terms still apply to what you do with it, and rate limits and outages there are theirs. If a read fails because a key was revoked or a plan at your provider changed, the world simply stops refreshing until it is reconnected.

the world you publish

A planet has an address, and a public one is readable by anybody holding the link. You choose whether a world is public, unlisted or private, and whether the money on it is hidden, rounded into bands, or exact. What you publish is yours, and you are responsible for having the right to publish it — that includes an image you upload for a banner.

One thing to know before you publish on the free tier: a world that has already been read stays up. Taking a planet down — deleting it, or switching it to private — is part of Voyager, because a published link is a promise to whoever is holding it. A world nothing has ever been read into can be deleted on any plan.

We can take a world down ourselves if it is being used for something unlawful, or if it is not what this product is for. That is a last resort, and where there is a person to write to we write first.

plans, the trial, and what is charged

A free planet costs nothing and is the whole globe. Voyager is $9 a month or $90 a year. The add-ons are $4 a month each — quiet skies, and ad space by the banner.

The trial is 7 days of Voyager, with a card at the start that Stripe holds and we never see. Nothing is charged until the 7 days are up, cancelling before then charges nothing, and there is one per account. The add-ons are not part of it: a banner or quiet skies starts the day it is paid for.

Prices are in US dollars and exclude any tax that applies where you are; Stripe collects that where it has to. A subscription renews on its own until it is cancelled, and a price change is announced before the renewal it applies to.

cancelling, and money back

Cancel whenever you like, from the plan page. The subscription runs to the end of the period you have already paid for and then stops renewing; there is no fee for leaving and nothing to ask permission for.

A part-used month is not refunded, beyond the refund rights the law where you live gives you and which this paragraph does not take away. If something here charged you for something it did not deliver, write and it will be put right.

When a paid plan ends the planet goes back to being a free one: one world, the globe, the whole roster, the month you are standing in. Nothing is deleted, and your share link keeps working.

the planes, and what they tow

Free planets have banners towed over them, and that is what pays for free planets. Quiet skies stops the towing on your own world; it does not stop the planes, which are scenery.

If you buy a banner, it is flown over other people’s worlds, so it has to be something a stranger can be shown: no adult content, nothing unlawful, nothing deceptive, nothing that impersonates somebody else. We can refuse or remove one, and a banner removed for breaking this is not refunded.

what not to do with it

The ordinary list, and it is short because the product is small: do not break into other people’s accounts, do not scrape the site or hammer its endpoints, do not resell access to it, and do not try to get at data that is not yours. Automated collection of public planets is not what the share link is for.

Do not use this to do something to somebody else that you would not want done with your own book.

what the product promises, and what it does not

This is a small product and it is offered as it is. There is no uptime guarantee, features change, and a read depends on a provider we do not run. We do not promise the site is available or error-free, and we do not promise a figure on it is fit for a decision you are about to make.

The analytics are worth being explicit about: a forecast is an estimate drawn from your own history, not advice, and nothing on a chart here is accounting, tax or investment advice. Your provider’s numbers are the record; this draws a picture of them.

if something goes wrong

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue or lost data, or for anything indirect — and where we are liable, it is limited to what you paid in the twelve months before whatever happened.

Nothing here limits liability for something the law does not let anybody limit, including fraud, and nothing takes away consumer rights you have where you live.

ending it, from either side

You can stop using the product at any time, cancel a subscription from the plan page, and ask for the account to be closed.

We can suspend or close an account that is doing something on the list above, or something unlawful. Where there is a choice we write first and give you a chance to take the thing down yourself.

when these terms change

The date at the top is the day this text last changed. A change that affects what you pay or what you may do is emailed to the account before it takes effect, and continuing to use the product after that is accepting it.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts are where a dispute is settled. Write to hello@mrrplanet.com about anything on this page — including the parts you think are wrong.
