Terms of Service
In short: PlantUML Power Editor is a private hobby project. Anyone may use it free of charge, but without any guarantee: it may go down, change or be discontinued at any time, and you are responsible for your own data. Liability applies only where the law mandatorily requires it.
This is a convenience translation. In case of doubt, the German version (Nutzungsbedingungen) prevails.
1. Provider and scope
These terms govern the use of the website plantuml-editor.com (including plantuml.mseiche.de) and the application "PlantUML Power Editor" provided through it (the "Service"). The provider is Manuel Seiche (mseiche.de, the "Provider"). By using the Service you agree to these terms.
2. Nature of the Service
The Service is a private, non-commercial project that the Provider operates primarily for their own purposes and makes available to others voluntarily and free of charge. No fees are charged, no ads are shown and no user accounts are created. There is no entitlement to use the Service, to particular features or to support.
The Service is an editor for PlantUML diagrams that runs entirely in your browser. Details on data processing can be found in the privacy policy.
3. Availability and changes
The Service is provided "as is" without any commitment to availability. The Provider may change, interrupt or discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time without notice.
4. No warranty for results
The Provider does not warrant that the Service works without errors or that renderings, exports (e.g. PNG, SVG, .puml) or other results are complete, correct or fit for a particular purpose. Diagrams are generated with the open-source software PlantUML, whose behaviour is beyond the Provider's control. Check results yourself before using them, especially in important contexts.
5. Your content and backups
Your diagrams and settings are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. The Provider has no access to them and can neither view nor restore them. They may be lost in particular by clearing browser data, private browsing, browser storage limits or updates of the Service.
You are responsible for backing up your content. Export important diagrams regularly (e.g. as a .puml file). All rights to your content remain with you; the Provider claims no rights to it.
6. Acceptable use
You may use the Service for private and professional purposes. You must not disrupt or
overload the Service or the servers delivering it, circumvent security mechanisms or use the
Service for unlawful purposes. You are responsible for content you create with the Service
or include via references (e.g. !include).
7. Liability
As the Service is provided free of charge, the Provider is liable, in line with the statutory rules for gratuitous services under German law (Sections 521, 599 BGB), only for intent and gross negligence. Otherwise the Provider's liability is excluded, regardless of the legal grounds. This applies in particular to damage caused by outages or errors of the Service, by incorrect results and to the loss of data.
This does not affect liability for injury to life, body or health, liability under the German Product Liability Act, liability for fraudulently concealed defects or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
In the event of data loss, the Provider, to the extent liable at all, is only liable for the effort that would have been required had you backed up your data properly and regularly (section 5).
The above limitations also apply in favour of persons whose fault is attributable to the Provider.
8. Links to other websites
The Service contains links to third-party websites (e.g. the PlantUML documentation or GitHub). The respective provider is solely responsible for their content.
9. Changes to these terms
The Provider may change these terms with effect for the future. The version published on this page at the time of use applies.
10. Final provisions
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence.
Should individual provisions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the statutory provision.
