Sheet AlertsTerms of Service
1. What you are agreeing to
Sheet Alerts is an add-on for Google Sheets. You set a rule (for example "email the person in column E three days before the date in column C"), and we send that reminder on your behalf, even when the file is closed.
By installing the add-on you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, remove the add-on.
These terms are between you and us. Google is not a party: it provides the marketplace, and we provide the product. Questions and complaints come to us.
2. What you get
Sheet Alerts is free. There is nothing to buy and we do not ask for a card.
| Included | |
|---|---|
| Active rules | 1 |
| Emails per month | 100 |
| Our name in the email footer | yes |
| Unsubscribe link on every email | yes |
The unsubscribe link is always there. We cannot remove it, and neither can you. See section 4.
We may adjust these limits. If we lower a limit you are actively using, we will say so at least 30 days in advance inside the add-on.
3. Paying
You pay nothing, because there is nothing to buy. We are working on a paid plan with higher limits. When it is ready we will publish the price on this site, update these terms, and say so inside the add-on before it becomes available. Nothing is ever charged without you choosing it first.
4. What you may not use Sheet Alerts for
This section is the reason the product can keep existing, so please read it.
Sheet Alerts sends email from shared sending infrastructure. If one user abuses it, everyone else's reminders land in spam. So:
Allowed: reminders to people you already have a relationship with. Colleagues, clients, members, students, suppliers, tenants. People who know who you are and understand why they are hearing from you.
Not allowed:
- Advertising, offers, newsletters, or solicitation of any kind.
- Sending to purchased, rented, scraped, or otherwise harvested address lists.
- Sending to people who have no relationship with you at all.
- Disguising the sender or impersonating someone else.
- Anything unlawful, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
You are responsible for the addresses you enter and for the content you send. We do not review that content in advance.
What happens if you break this: we suspend your account immediately, without warning and without a refund. That is harsh, and deliberately so: with sender reputation there is no middle ground, and one bad sender hurts everyone.
What happens automatically: an address that bounces or reports a message as spam goes on a block list straight away and gets nothing from us again. An address that unsubscribes is blocked for you, not for other senders. You cannot work around either, including by re-entering the address.
What we do by hand: we watch bounce and complaint rates. If yours run high enough to put delivery at risk for everyone, we pause your sending and get in touch. There is no fixed threshold that trips automatically today, so treat this as us paying attention rather than as a guarantee that you will be stopped before you cause damage. Keeping your addresses clean is your responsibility.
5. What we do not promise
Sheet Alerts is provided as is.
We do our best to send on time, but we do not guarantee delivery. We depend on Google, on our sending provider, and on the recipient's mail server. Messages can be delayed, land in a spam folder, or not arrive at all.
So do not use Sheet Alerts as the only safeguard for anything carrying a legal deadline, a penalty, a medical appointment, or a financial consequence. It is a helper, not a guarantee. Where a missed reminder would be costly, there should be a second check that does not depend on us.
We may perform maintenance and interrupt the service. For planned maintenance longer than an hour, we announce it in advance.
6. Liability
We are not liable for damage arising from a message that was sent late, not sent, or sent incorrectly (including lost revenue, a missed deadline, or consequential damage).
Where we are liable, that liability is capped at the amount you paid us in the preceding twelve months. For free users that is zero.
These limits do not apply in cases of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part, nor where the law does not permit them.
7. Your data
How we handle your data is set out in our Privacy Policy. In short: we read only the file you use us in, we read only the columns you point at, and we never sell any of it.
You remain the owner of your data. We claim nothing over it.
8. Ending it
You can stop at any time by removing the add-on. We erase your data within 30 days.
We can end your access if you breach section 4, or if we discontinue the product. If we discontinue it, we will give at least 60 days' notice, and we refund the unused part of any paid plan you happen to be on at that moment.
9. Changes
If we change these terms materially, we will say so inside the add-on before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Sheet Alerts after that means the new version applies.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes go to the District Court of Noord-Nederland, unless the law designates another court. For consumers, that is often the court where they live.
