FlowplanMarketplace

Terms of use

Last updated: 12 November 2026

These terms apply to the use of the Flowplan Marketplace at marketplace.flowplan.org (the "Marketplace"). It is operated by the provider named in the legal notice ("we"). The Marketplace is free of charge.

1. What the Marketplace is

The Marketplace is where people share templates for Flowplan: documents, databases, workflows, whiteboards, appearances and rules for automatic links. Some templates come from us ("Official"); the rest come from the community. You can browse, download and open templates in your own Flowplan instance without an account. To submit templates, you need an account.

2. Account

  • You sign in with GitHub or with a sign-in link sent by e-mail. Only give details that are true, and keep your access safe.
  • You must be at least 16 years old to submit templates.
  • Your display name is shown publicly with your templates. We don't show your e-mail address.
  • You can delete your account yourself at any time, under "My submissions" with "Delete account", or write to the address in the legal notice. This deletes your account and all your templates with every version and preview image. Published templates disappear from the Marketplace at once. Copies that others have already downloaded stay with them and may still be used under the licence.

3. Submitting templates

With every submission you confirm that:

  • You hold the rights to everything in the template (texts, images, fonts, example data), or it is under a licence that allows sharing it.
  • The template contains no personal data of others, no credentials, passwords, API keys or tokens, and no confidential information.
  • The template is not unlawful, offensive, discriminatory or misleading. It contains no advertising, no spam and nothing meant to cause harm. For example, workflows must not secretly send data to outside addresses.
  • The title, description and preview images honestly reflect what the template does.

4. Licence

  • When you submit, you choose a licence: CC BY 4.0 (default), CC0 or MIT. Under that licence, anyone may use, change and share the published template.
  • You also allow us to store, show and offer the template, its description and its preview images for download in the Marketplace, and to adapt them technically for display (e.g. resize images). We may also show it as an example, with your name, on flowplan.org and in the Flowplan documentation.
  • Our own official templates are under CC0.

5. Review and publication

  • We review every submission and every new version before it appears. Automatic checks help, but they don't replace review by a person.
  • We may publish a submission, ask for changes or reject it. There is no right to publication.
  • We may adjust the title, description, category, tags, address (slug) and preview images of a submitted or published template, for example to correct mistakes, make it clearer or make it easier to find. We don't change the template's content or its licence when doing so. For a published template we tell you by e-mail what we changed and show it under "My submissions". If you don't agree with a change, write to us or withdraw the template.
  • We may unpublish a published template. Reasons include a justified report, a breach of these terms, or a template that no longer works with Flowplan. We will tell you why by e-mail. If your account has no e-mail address (sign-in with GitHub), the reason is shown under "My submissions".
  • You can withdraw your own submissions at any time.

6. Reporting

If a template infringes rights or breaks these terms, use "Report" on the template's page or write to the address in the legal notice. We look at every report.

7. Using templates

  • You use templates from the Marketplace at your own responsibility. Check workflows in particular before you activate them. They arrive in your instance paused and without credentials. Look at which external services they call and whether they use AI or e-mail.
  • The Marketplace doesn't learn which Flowplan instance you use. Templates go straight from your browser to your instance.
  • Community templates are the content of their authors, not ours. We review them before publication, but we can't guarantee they are free of errors or fit your purpose.

8. Availability

We run the Marketplace without any guarantee of constant availability. We may change, limit or discontinue it. Before we discontinue it, we will announce this so that you can download your templates.

9. Liability

The Marketplace is a free service.

  • Unlimited liability: We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.
  • Essential obligations: If we slightly negligently breach an obligation without which the Marketplace couldn't be used at all, we are liable only for foreseeable, typical damage.
  • Otherwise: Liability for slight negligence is excluded.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms when the Marketplace or the law changes. We will tell accounts with submissions about significant changes in advance by e-mail. If you don't agree, you can withdraw your templates and delete your account.

11. Final provisions

German law applies. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country you live in remain unaffected. If a provision is invalid, the rest stay valid.

Questions about these terms: write to the address in the legal notice. How we handle your data is described in the privacy policy.
