Terms of Service
Last updated: April 1. 2019
Advanced Poll ("us", "we", or "our") operates the advancedpoll.rocks website and the Advanced Poll app for slack ("Service" or "Advanced Poll Service").
The Advanced Poll Service is offered subject to your acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Website (collectively, the “Agreement”).
Please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Advanced Poll Service. By accessing or using any part of the Advanced Poll Service, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of the Agreement, then you may not access or use the Advanced Poll Service.
Description of the Service
The Advanced Poll Service allows you to create polls inside slack channels, that all channel members can interact with. The topic of what can be voted on is up to you. Customizations of your poll include the following options (a paid subscription may be required).
The responses in polls can be anonymous. Polls can be scheduled. Team members can have the option to add answer options to a published poll. Simultaneous votes on a poll may be limited. A poll can be closed after publication, which leads to it showing the result and not beeing votable anymore.
Advanced Poll may also, in the future, update current features or offer new features to the Advanced Poll Service (including, the release of new tools). Such updated or new features shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Access to the Advanced Poll Service is permitted on a temporary basis. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue offering or updating the Advanced Poll Service at any time without notice.

By providing your payment instrument details, you authorise Advanced Poll or companies who work on Advanced Poll’s behalf, such as payment processors, to bill your payment instrument for the relevant subscription fee starting on the date you purchase a Paid Subscription to the Advanced Poll Service and then on intervals of one month or year (the “Billing Date(s)”; as applicable, depending on your chosen subscription plan).
The relevant subscription fees:
- shall be payable in Euro;
