AI agent integrations (via OpenAPI specification or MCP protocol) are subject to the same terms. You are responsible for any bookings or actions initiated through AI agents configured with your account.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including but not limited to all software, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, data compilations, and the underlying source code and architecture, are and remain the exclusive property of SlothCal and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, service marks, or trade dress.

You retain ownership of any content you submit, post, or display through the Service (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and display such content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete your User Content or your account, except where your content has been shared with other users who have not deleted it.

8. Data, Privacy, and Sub-Processors

8.1 Data Processing

We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018) where applicable. By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the collection and processing of data as described in our Privacy Policy.

8.2 Your Data

You retain all rights to your data. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties. We process your data solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Service. Upon account termination, we will delete your data within thirty (30) days, unless retention is required by applicable law.

8.3 Sub-Processors

To deliver the Service, we engage trusted third-party sub-processors who may process personal data on our behalf. We maintain appropriate data processing agreements with each sub-processor that provide protections no less stringent than those in these Terms. Our current sub-processors include:

We will notify you of any material changes to our sub-processor list by updating this page and, where practicable, by notifying you via email at least fourteen (14) days before the new sub-processor begins processing personal data. If you object to a new sub-processor, your sole remedy is to terminate your account before the new sub-processor becomes effective.

8.4 International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms under applicable data protection law.

8.5 Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users without undue delay and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, in compliance with Article 33 of the GDPR. Notification will include the nature of the breach, approximate data categories and number of records affected, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address the breach.

By creating an account, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including:

• Booking confirmations, reminders, and cancellation notices
• Account-related notifications (security alerts, password resets, account changes)
• Service announcements and material changes to these Terms

These transactional communications are necessary for the operation of the Service and are not marketing communications. You may not opt out of transactional communications while maintaining an active account. If we introduce marketing communications in the future, you will be able to opt out at any time.

10. Service Availability

We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Service is available and performant. However, the Service may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, software updates, or factors beyond our reasonable control, including internet service disruptions, force majeure events, or third-party service outages.

The Service is not designed for use in mission-critical, safety-critical, or high-availability environments where service interruption could result in physical harm, loss of life, or significant financial damage. You assume all risk associated with reliance on the Service for scheduling.

11. Pricing, Free Tier, and Payment

For paid plans (if applicable):

• Fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual)

You acknowledge that scheduling involves coordination between multiple parties, systems, and third-party services, and that SlothCal cannot guarantee the availability, accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of third-party services, including but not limited to calendar providers, email delivery services, and video conferencing platforms.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SlothCal, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising from or related to:

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.

15. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Service integrates with third-party services including, but not limited to, Google Calendar, Google Meet, Google OAuth, and email delivery providers. Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third party's terms of service and privacy policies, which are separate from and independent of these Terms.

We do not control, endorse, warrant, or assume any responsibility for any third-party service, product, content, or website. We are not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your reliance on or use of any such third-party service. This includes, without limitation, the unavailability of third-party services, changes to their APIs or terms, or the accuracy of data received from or sent to such services.

16. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion functionality in the Service or by contacting us at [email protected].

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including (but not limited to) if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination:

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Finland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within thirty (30) days of written notice by either party, it shall be submitted to and finally resolved by the District Court of Helsinki (Helsingin käräjäoikeus) as the court of first instance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may also be entitled to refer the dispute to an online dispute resolution platform provided by the European Commission at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

18. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that party (“Force Majeure Event”), including but not limited to: natural disasters, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government orders or sanctions, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party infrastructure or services.

The affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event and use reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate these Terms upon written notice.

19. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void.

We may freely assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without notice or your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

20. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid, or illegal, such provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent, or if modification is not possible, it will be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

The failure of SlothCal to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of SlothCal to be effective.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other legal notices or supplemental terms published by us on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and SlothCal regarding the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether written or oral.

No oral statement or representation by any SlothCal employee, contractor, or agent shall modify or supplement these Terms.
