Terms, in plain words.
These are the rules for the todo.site website and waitlist. By joining the waitlist, you agree to them.
The short version: joining is free. Your name is held for you if we launch. One name per person, and no abusive names. We might not build this, and if we don’t, we’ll tell you. The details are below, and they’re what count.
What this is
Right now todo.site is a waitlist for a to-do app that doesn’t exist yet. We’re using the waitlist to find out whether enough people want it.
We might not build it
Joining the waitlist doesn’t guarantee that the app will launch, or when, or with which features. If we decide not to build it, we’ll email everyone on the list, close the waitlist, and delete waitlist information as described in our Privacy Policy.
Joining the list
Joining is free and doesn’t require a purchase. Please use an email address you control. We may ask you to confirm your email before we confirm or change a reservation.
You can unsubscribe from updates at any time, or email [email protected] to leave the list and give up your username.
Your username
- Usernames are 1–20 characters long and use letters (a–z), numbers, or hyphens. They aren’t case-sensitive, so Olivia and olivia are the same name.
- Some names are kept back for the site itself, like admin, support, and privacy, and can’t be chosen.
- A name is held only after we confirm your signup. Typing a name, or a signup that didn’t go through, doesn’t hold it.
- One name per person. Each name can be held by one person only.
- Holding a name keeps it for you at launch. It doesn’t create an account, give you ownership of the address, or include a paid plan.
- Names can’t be sold, traded, or transferred. A held name is for you to use, not to resell.
- If you need to do something to claim your name at launch, we’ll email you the steps and any deadline. A name that isn’t claimed by then may be released.
Names we don’t allow
Your address is public, so we’re strict about names. We will refuse or remove a name that:
- contains profanity, slurs, hate speech, or sexually explicit words, including creative spellings of them;
- attacks or demeans people based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar traits;
- refers to or promotes violence, terrorism, extremism, or illegal activity;
- pretends to be a real person, a company, a brand, or todo.site itself, or could easily be mistaken for one;
- uses someone else’s trademark or name that you have no right to;
- was taken to block someone else, to resell, or to hold in bulk (squatting).
We have zero tolerance for hateful or abusive names. These are removed without warning, and we may block the email address that registered them. For other cases, like a brand or a name someone has a clear right to, we’ll usually explain and let you pick another name.
Whether a name breaks these rules is our decision. If you think we got it wrong, write to [email protected] and we’ll take another look.
Price
We haven’t decided on pricing. It will probably be something small, like a yearly price or a one-time payment. Joining the waitlist commits you to nothing and you won’t be charged for joining. If we launch a paid service, you’ll see the price and its conditions before you buy anything.
Using the site fairly
You agree not to:
- sign up with someone else’s email address, or with fake or throwaway details;
- use scripts, bots, or any automated tool to sign up, check names, or claim them;
- create several signups to get around the one-name rule;
- use the site for spam, harassment, or anything unlawful;
- try to get into systems or information you shouldn’t, overload the site, or interfere with how it works.
If you do, we may cancel your signups and names, and block you from the waitlist, without notice.
The fine print
We try to keep the website and waitlist working, but they may be down sometimes for maintenance, technical problems, or security reasons. We may change or stop the waitlist. If we do, we’ll let registered people know.
Nothing in these terms takes away rights or protections you have under laws that can’t be overridden.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms as the project changes. If a change matters for people already on the list, we’ll tell you.
Questions? Write to todo.site at [email protected]. A real person will read it.
