Terms of Service

Last updated: 17 May 2026

      Short version: Stay Green is a cloud service that keeps your Slack and Microsoft Teams status active. You use it at your own risk. We are not affiliated with Slack or Microsoft. If your employer, your workspace administrator, or Slack itself has rules against this, you are responsible for following them — not us.
    

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Peach Parade Limited, a New Zealand company (company number 9428419), trading as Stay Green (operating Stay Green On Slack and Stay Green On Teams) ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, using our websites (staygreenonslack.com, staygreenonteams.com), our iOS or Chrome applications, or any related service (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and authority

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you are using the Service for or on behalf of a business or other entity, you confirm you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" in these Terms means both you personally and that entity.

3. What the Service does

The Service uses session credentials that you provide for Slack and/or Microsoft Teams to make authenticated requests to those platforms' APIs and keep your status set to "active" or "Available" on a schedule you control. The Service does not read your messages, modify content in your workspaces, or take any action other than setting your presence.

Important — please read carefully: The Service interacts with Slack and Microsoft Teams using credentials you provide. Neither Slack Technologies, LLC nor Microsoft Corporation is affiliated with, endorses, or sponsors the Service. Your use of the Service may be inconsistent with Slack's or Microsoft's Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or API Terms, and with the policies of the Slack workspace or Microsoft Teams tenant operator (which may include your employer). You are solely responsible for determining whether your use is permitted under those policies, and you assume all risk of any consequences, including but not limited to suspension or termination of your Slack or Microsoft account, removal from a workspace or tenant, disciplinary action, or termination of employment. Slack or Microsoft may at any time change their APIs, invalidate your credentials, or block third-party access, and we have no control over and accept no liability for any resulting unavailability of the Service.

4. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential, for everything that happens under your account, and for the accuracy of any information you give us. You agree to notify us immediately at support@staygreenonslack.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law, the rules of any Slack workspace or Microsoft Teams tenant you participate in, the terms of your employment, or the terms of any third-party platform (including Slack and Microsoft Teams)
Provide credentials that are not your own, or use the Service on behalf of someone else without their informed consent
Resell, sublicense, white-label, or otherwise commercialise access to the Service without our written permission
Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise probe the Service except where applicable law expressly permits
Use the Service to harass, deceive, or harm any person, or to misrepresent your availability in any context where doing so could constitute fraud or breach of duty
Interfere with or attempt to disrupt the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of it
Use any automated means to interact with the Service other than via documented interfaces

6. Slack and Microsoft Teams credentials — your responsibility

Slack's and Microsoft's own terms require you to keep your session tokens, cookies, and refresh tokens confidential and prohibit sharing them with third parties. By using the Service you authorise us to act on your behalf using the credentials you provide, solely for the purpose of operating the Service as described in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that providing these credentials to a third party — including us — may itself breach Slack's, Microsoft's, or your workspace/tenant's policies, and you assume that risk in full.

7. Fees, trial, billing, and refunds

The Service is offered on a subscription basis. We currently offer a 14-day free trial, after which a recurring monthly fee of US$3.99 (or local equivalent) applies. Prices and trial terms may change; we will give you at least 14 days' notice by email of any price change taking effect.

Billing is processed by Stripe. By providing payment information you authorise us (via Stripe) to charge the applicable fees and any taxes to your selected payment method, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time via the in-app billing portal, the Stripe Customer Portal link we email you, or by writing to support@staygreenonslack.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; your access continues until then.

Except where required by law (including the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993), subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing period has begun. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us within 30 days and we will investigate in good faith.

8. Termination and suspension

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from the Account panel or by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if (a) you breach these Terms, (b) we reasonably believe your use creates legal or security risk for us or another user, (c) Slack or Microsoft revokes our ability to operate the Service in any form, or (d) we cease offering the Service.

If we terminate your account other than for breach, we will refund the unused portion of your most recent prepayment.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including all software, designs, copy, and branding (other than third-party names and logos including the Slack name and logo, which belong to Slack Technologies, LLC, and the Microsoft and Microsoft Teams names and logos, which belong to Microsoft Corporation), is owned by Peach Parade Limited and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own personal or internal business use, subject to these Terms.

Feedback or suggestions you send us about the Service may be used by us without restriction or compensation.

10. Your data and privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We process your data only as needed to operate the Service. You retain ownership of credentials and configuration you submit; you grant us a limited licence to use that data solely to provide the Service.

11. Service availability

We work to keep the Service running but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages (especially Slack's and Microsoft's own API and authentication systems), legal demands, and security incidents may all cause temporary or permanent unavailability. We will not be liable for any consequences of such unavailability beyond what is required by mandatory consumer-protection laws.

12. Warranty disclaimers

Except where mandatory consumer-protection laws prevent us from doing so, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including (without limitation) any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the Service will operate without interruption, error, or detection.

New Zealand consumers: If you acquire the Service for the purposes of a business (within the meaning of section 2 of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993), you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply to the supply of the Service to you, and you acknowledge that it is fair and reasonable that you are bound by this clause. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or any other consumer-protection legislation that cannot be lawfully excluded. Equivalent statements apply to consumers in Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and any other jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer laws cannot be waived.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of NZ$100 or the total fees you actually paid us in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages; loss of profits, business, goodwill, data, or savings; or any damages relating to disciplinary action, loss of employment, or harm to your reputation, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The limitations in this section do not apply to: (a) liability that cannot be limited under applicable mandatory law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct); or (b) your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or equivalent foreign consumer legislation that cannot be lawfully excluded.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Peach Parade Limited, its directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

your use of, or inability to use, the Service;
your breach of these Terms;
your violation of any third-party rights, including without limitation the terms of service or policies of Slack Technologies, LLC, Microsoft Corporation, any Slack workspace or Microsoft Teams tenant operator, or of your employer;
any disciplinary action, loss of employment, reputational harm, or other adverse action taken against you by your employer or any third party in connection with your use of the Service; and
any credentials, content, or configuration you submit to the Service.

15. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties including Slack Technologies, LLC (API), Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Teams API and identity), Supabase Inc. (hosting and authentication), Stripe Inc. (payments), Resend (email), Netlify Inc. (web hosting), and Fly.io Inc. (server infrastructure). Their terms and privacy practices apply to your data when it is in their hands; we are not responsible for their acts or omissions beyond the standard due diligence we apply when selecting them.

16. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms; if we make material changes, we will notify you by email and post the updated Terms on this page at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you may cancel before they take effect for a pro-rata refund of the unused portion of any prepayment.

17. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. The non-exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute is the courts of New Zealand sitting in Auckland. "Non-exclusive" means that either party may bring proceedings in another competent court if necessary to enforce a judgment or where compelled by local law (for example, where mandatory consumer-protection rules require it).

Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to first try to resolve the dispute by emailing support@staygreenonslack.com with a clear description of the issue and your proposed resolution. We will respond within 14 working days.

18. General

Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any order confirmation) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remainder will continue in full force.
Waiver. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganisation.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, internet or upstream-provider outages, government action, or labour disputes.
Notices. We may contact you at the email address on your account. You can contact us at support@staygreenonslack.com or by post to Peach Parade Limited, Unit 3, 59 Matipo Road, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland 0610, New Zealand.
