Terms of Service
Last updated July 21, 2026
Welcome to Planta. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your relationship with Planta through your member account. By becoming a member or continuing to use Planta, you agree to these Terms and our Planta Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use Planta.
Uma versão em português destes Termos está disponível mediante solicitação: privacy@planta.network.
The legal relationship between the Host and Planta is governed by a separate agreement.
1. What is Planta?
Planta (“Planta”, “We”, or “Planta Network”) is a discreet and proactive relationship network. It surfaces (re)connection opportunities that lead to real conversations and outcomes at events, and keeps them alive between editions.
Planta is powered by AI and evolves quickly, so some features described here may change or not yet be available.
Important: Planta does not manage or control any event or the Event. The Host is solely responsible for all aspects of the Event, including but not limited to its organization, logistics, venue, safety, content, cancellations, and any conduct or decisions by the Host, its staff, sponsors, or other participants. Planta is not a party to the relationship between you and the Host, and assumes no liability for any Event-related matter.
2. Who Can Use Planta?
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. By accepting these Terms, you confirm both. If We learn a member is under 18, We will delete their data and end their access. If you believe a minor has used the platform, notify us at privacy@planta.network.
3. How You Join Planta
You become a member through one of these paths:
From a Planta-branded Event. A Host invites you to an Event that uses Planta under Planta’s own brand. The Host decides who takes part and gives us a list (the “List”). If Planta was disclosed when you registered, you join as a member when you accept these Terms at sign-up. If it wasn’t, you join the moment you engage with Planta and accept these Terms.
From an Event Hub powered by Planta. During or after a customized Event, you may choose to join Planta. Joining is optional and separate from taking part in the Event. If you join, your Dossier travels with you.
Directly. Planta may add other ways to join in the future, outside any specific Event. Any new path will require accepting the then-current Terms and Privacy Policy before your account is created.
4. How Does Planta Help You?
Your Dossier. By the time you engage with Planta, Planta has already assembled some context about you from what the Host shared and as made available by third parties regarding generally known information about you, that is later translated into your Profile. Your Dossier grows with what you share and what you do on Planta. It is private, never shown to other participants, and yours to access at privacy@planta.network (self-service may also be available).
Your Profile. From your Dossier, Planta generates a professional brief that other participants can see (the “Profile”). You can review and edit it once you engage.
Porter. Porter is your relationships agent. It works on your behalf across every Event and interaction. Before and during an Event it may ask about your goals and who you’d want to meet; after, it may ask how things went. If enabled, this can happen by voice. What you tell Porter shapes what Planta brings you.
Connection opportunities. When enabled, Planta surfaces connection opportunities with other participants, each with a short reason to connect. They’re starting points, not guarantees, and you choose whether to act. Contact details are shared only when both people opt in. For some Events, a Host may enable immediate connections, where connections are made and contact details shared automatically; by accepting these Terms you accept that this may apply.
Directory. If enabled, you can browse other participants’ Profiles and see a personalized reason to connect with each. Those reasons are yours alone; no one else sees yours. Sponsors take part in Events too, and may appear in an Event’s Directory alongside other participants. A sponsor never sees your Dossier or your conversations with Porter.
Preferences. You choose how you’re contacted and what contact information you share.
How Planta helps the Host. Planta gives the Host tools to run a better Event: help designing the experience, a dashboard of activity and connection insights, and feedback Porter gathers. The Host never sees your Dossier or your conversations with Porter. Neither does a sponsor. See our Planta Privacy Policy for more details.
5. Your Account and Your Profile Across Events
Your account continues until you delete it. Your Dossier persists and compounds across Events, which improves your experience over time. You can ask us to stop using your prior Dossier, to keep a specific Event out of it, or to not translate certain Event information into your Dossier, at any time at privacy@planta.network. Self-service alternatives may be available.
6. Messages and WhatsApp
WhatsApp. Planta contacts you on WhatsApp only after you take an action that starts or consents to it, such as accepting these Terms.
Most messages are service messages tied to your connection experience. Some messages may be marketing. When they are, they stay connected to your connection experience too, and you can opt out at any time.
Reply STOP (or a similar word) to any WhatsApp message, or write to privacy@planta.network. We process opt-outs promptly. Opting out is different from deleting your account or exercising your data rights, and may limit your access.
Email. We may also email you: product updates, new features, information about your experience, and over time occasional marketing about Planta.
If you left your email through our website — to stay in the loop, because you were interested in referring a Host, or in being a Host yourself using Planta — we may send you those updates and, over time, occasional marketing. Leaving your email that way does not make you a member.
Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from marketing doesn’t stop the essential messages about your account or an active Event.
Other channels. Planta may use other communication channels; the same principles and our Planta Privacy Policy apply, along with each channel’s own terms. By using WhatsApp, you acknowledge that WhatsApp’s own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy also apply to messages there, available at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal.
7. What Happens After an Event
As agreed with the Host, the active Event experience may close after the Event. Your Planta account continues, and your Dossier persists and compounds across future Events.
8. Your Responsibilities
- Provide accurate, up-to-date information. We rely on what you tell us to generate a useful experience — inaccurate information affects yours and everyone else’s.
- Maintain access to the WhatsApp number, email, or any other channel associated with your account.
- Do not misuse Planta: do not misrepresent who you are; attempt to access others’ Profile or data; use the platform to run scams or spam other participants; scrape or export information; or attempt to manipulate Porter or Planta’s connection orchestration.
You authorize Planta and the Host to modify, reschedule, or cancel any suggestions on your behalf within the Event for event management purposes.
Each participant is solely responsible for their own electronic devices, communication devices, and related matters such as hardware condition, internet connection, and security.
9. Community Guidelines
Planta is a communal network. Every participant who engages authentically — sharing openly, updating their Profile honestly, and approaching connections with genuine intent — makes it better for everyone. The connections you enable for others are the same ones others enable for you.
These guidelines exist to protect something worth protecting — a space where real professional connections can form. The standards below aren’t restrictions for their own sake. They reflect what makes this kind of network work: trust, honesty, and mutual respect.
What we expect: Use your real name, role, and professional information. Engage honestly and with genuine intent. Treat connection requests and messages as professional communication. Respect people who do not respond.
What is not acceptable: Offensive, discriminatory, or inflammatory language; harassment or bullying; misrepresenting your identity, role, or affiliations; using contact information for outreach unrelated to a genuine connection; sharing participant information outside the platform without explicit consent; revealing confidential information you do not have the right to share; scraping or bulk-exporting data; circumventing any security feature or access control of the platform; interfering with the operation of the platform (such as spam, denial of service attacks, or introducing viruses or harmful code); attempting to manipulate or reverse-engineer Planta’s connection orchestration; violating anyone’s intellectual property rights through the Planta experience; or any other action or omission that could go against the main purpose of Planta and that could be considered unreasonable from a good faith perspective.
Planta and the Host reserve the right to remove your access at any time for violations, without prior notice. Serious violations may be reported to the relevant authorities.
Report concerns to privacy@planta.network.
10. AI Uses
Planta is powered by AI throughout the experience. We use third-party AI providers as processors; by accepting these Terms you acknowledge your data may be processed by them under their own terms. AI outputs — Profile summaries, connection opportunities, reasons to connect, and Porter’s responses — are probabilistic and may be incomplete or inaccurate. They spark introductions; they don’t define anyone. For Planta’s liability position regarding AI outputs, see Section 15.
Human oversight. Planta maintains a level of human supervision over AI-generated outputs to help assure the quality of connection opportunities and facilitation support for the Host. Planta’s team and the Host may review, adjust, or override AI-generated outputs in certain cases as part of supporting the design and delivery of the Event experience.
Voice. If you start a voice conversation with Porter, you consent to Planta recording, processing, storing, transcribing, and using the resulting audio and transcript to operate, improve, and develop Planta, to the extent permitted by law. You can use text instead.
11. Content You Provide
In these Terms, Participant Generated Content means material (including, without limitation, text, images, audio material, video material, comments, and audio-visual material) that you submit to Planta, for whatever purpose.
You retain ownership of information you submit. By submitting content — including Profile photos, Profile edits, answers to Porter, and any other material — you represent and warrant that you own it or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit it and to grant Planta a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, process, store, reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, and display the content as necessary to operate and improve Planta — including for Profile generation, connection opportunities, connection orchestration, Directory display, and Event facilitation. Planta will not substantially misrepresent what you said.
You also grant us the right to sub-license these rights to other participants to the extent your content is made visible to them through Planta — including your Profile in the Directory, connect reasoning, contact details, and messages you include in connection requests.
This right also extends to Hosts to the extent necessary for them to receive simplified insights and facilitation outputs through the platform, and to our service providers and processors to the extent necessary to deliver the service.
The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and developing Planta — including for connection orchestration, connection opportunities, product improvement, analytics, and other purposes as described in these Terms and our Planta Privacy Policy.
You grant Planta the right to use your name, Profile photo, and the identity information you provide to display your Profile and operate the connection experience. We will not use your name or image in external marketing without your consent.
You are solely responsible for the content you submit, including its accuracy and legality. Participant Generated Content must not be illegal or unlawful, must not infringe any third party’s legal rights, and must not be capable of giving rise to legal action whether against you, Planta, the Host, or a third party (in each case under any applicable law).
You can end this license for specific content by deleting it, or generally by deleting your account — except to the extent the content has already been shared with others as part of the service, used to generate outputs delivered to other participants or the Host, or is required to be retained by law. A reasonable time to remove content from backups and other systems also applies. Deletion is processed as described in our Planta Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to edit or remove any material submitted to Planta, or stored on our servers, or hosted or published on Planta. If We receive a claim that content you submitted infringes a third party’s intellectual property or other rights, We may remove or disable access to the content without prior notice to you. If you believe content on the platform infringes your rights, contact privacy@planta.network with a description of the claim.
Notwithstanding our rights under these Terms in relation to Participant Generated Content, We do not undertake to monitor the submission of such content to, or the publication of such content on, Planta.
12. Your Data Rights and Data Retention
You have rights over your personal data. Depending on where you live and what laws apply, these may include the right to access your data, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, opt out of certain processing, request data portability, and object to how your data is used. You will not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
See our Planta Privacy Policy for the full description of your data rights, data retention, and how to exercise them.
13. AI Model Training
When available, Planta may use your data to train its algorithms and improve its intelligence systems, and develop new features. You may opt out of this use at any time by contacting privacy@planta.network. Opting out does not affect your access to the experience.
14. Intellectual Property
Planta — including its interface, connection orchestration logic, AI models, algorithms, and underlying technology — is owned by or licensed to Planta and protected by applicable law.
Subject to these Terms, Planta grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-assignable, and non-transferable right to access and use Planta for the purposes described in these Terms. You agree not to, and shall not permit any third party to: (i) sublicense, redistribute, sell, lease, lend, or rent access to Planta; (ii) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the platform; (iii) copy, modify, adapt, or create derivative works of Planta or any part thereof; (iv) scrape or export data from the platform; or (v) use Planta to violate any applicable law or in any manner that breaches these Terms.
You shall not use Planta’s name, logo, or trademarks in any other context except for using Planta without our prior written consent.
If you share feedback or suggestions, all rights, title, and interest in that feedback vest in Planta automatically. Planta may use, modify, license, sublicense, and exploit it in any manner or media, now known or hereafter devised, without compensation or attribution.
15. Our Liability
No warranties. PLANTA IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PLANTA MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PLANTA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
AI outputs. AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS — INCLUDING PROFILE SUMMARIES, CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES, REASONS TO CONNECT, AND ANY ANSWER FROM PORTER — ARE PROBABILISTIC IN NATURE AND MAY BE INCOMPLETE, INACCURATE, OR NOT REFLECTIVE OF YOUR ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL PROFILE OR INTERESTS, HISTORY, OR THE EVENT YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN. PLANTA MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THESE OUTPUTS WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR PROFESSIONAL OUTCOME, CONNECTION, OR RESULT.
No guarantee of outcomes. We facilitate introductions — We do not guarantee that any connection will be valuable, that anyone will engage, accept a request, or attend a meeting, or that use of the platform will lead to any specific business outcome.
Porter. Please consider that Porter is an automated agent that uses artificial intelligence to work on your behalf. It cannot make binding commitments for Planta, any Host, or anyone else. Nothing Porter says constitutes a legal agreement. Outputs generated by Porter are AI-generated, sharp, but not infallible. Use your judgment.
Third-party services. We rely on third-party providers for messaging, cloud infrastructure, AI processing, and enrichment data. Planta does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or currency of information obtained from third-party enrichment providers. Planta is not liable for any failure, interruption, data loss, or error caused by third-party providers. The platform may contain links to third-party websites; you visit them at your own risk.
For more information about how our partners collect and process data, please see our Planta Privacy Policy, or reach out to privacy@planta.network.
Data availability. Planta does not warrant that your data, event records, or any platform content will be available at any particular time, retained for any particular duration, or recoverable following a service interruption or third-party provider failure.
Limitation of liability. NEITHER PLANTA NOR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF DATA, INCOME, PROFIT, OR GOODWILL, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF PLANTA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLANTA’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED $100.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PLANTA. THE SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT THEM.
Sole remedy. If you become dissatisfied with Planta, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using it and delete your account.
Claims period. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising from your use of the platform must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises.
Service evolution. Planta is an early-stage company actively developing the platform. We may add or remove features without liability. Planta may temporarily or permanently disable the service or any part of it for maintenance, system overload, or other operational reasons, without prior notice.
Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Planta and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (i) your use of, or inability to use, Planta; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or data protection rights; and (iv) your violation of any applicable law.
Exceptions. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain implied warranties or the limitation of certain liabilities. To the extent such exclusions or limitations are prohibited by applicable law, they shall apply to the maximum extent permitted. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud or gross negligence.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are in a jurisdiction with mandatory consumer or data protection laws, those laws apply and are not displaced by this clause.
Good-Faith Resolution. Before initiating any legal action, contact Planta at privacy@planta.network with a written description of the dispute. The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith within 30 days of written notice.
Jurisdiction. If a dispute is not resolved through good-faith negotiation, it shall be submitted to the competent state and federal courts in Delaware, and each party submits to that jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST PLANTA ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Injunctive Relief. Planta may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.
Host disputes. If you have a dispute with a Host, settle it with the Host directly. Planta is not a party to that relationship.
Data protection authorities. Nothing in these Terms restricts your right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or to seek a remedy through any applicable regulatory body. These rights exist independently of any dispute resolution process described above.
17. Termination and Suspension
You may stop receiving messages by replying STOP, or any similar key opt-out word to any WhatsApp message, or by emailing privacy@planta.network. Opting out will limit your platform access.
Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from marketing doesn’t stop the essential messages about your account or an active Event.
You can delete your account, your Profile from one particular Event, request that your prior Dossier is not used at certain event, or even not record your information at certain Event on your Dossier, by contacting privacy@planta.network. Self-service options through the platform may also be available.
The following sections survive termination or expiration of these Terms: Section 8 (Your Responsibilities), Section 9 (Community Guidelines), Section 11 (Content You Provide), Section 12 (Your Data Rights and Data Retention), Section 13 (AI Model Training), Section 14 (Intellectual Property), Section 15 (Our Liability), Section 16 (Governing Law and Disputes), Section 17 (Termination and Suspension), and Section 21 (Miscellaneous). All obligations incurred before termination, including indemnification, also survive.
Planta’s right to suspend or terminate. Planta may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, violate applicable law, provide false information, or engage in conduct that creates risk for other users, a Host, or the platform.
Host-initiated removal. A Host may request that Planta remove a specific participant’s access to their Event at any time.
18. Changes
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If We make material changes, We will notify you through the platform, by WhatsApp, email, or by other means, to give you the opportunity to review the changes before they take effect.
If you do not agree with any changes, you may delete your account. Continuing to use Planta after We publish or send notice about changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms as of their effective date.
19. Force Majeure
Planta is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war, government action, infrastructure outages, or disruptions to third-party services, including WhatsApp, cloud providers, or AI processing providers.
20. Security
We implement technical and organizational security measures appropriate to our stage of development, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), encrypted storage, and role-based access controls.
Account security. Keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at privacy@planta.network if you suspect unauthorized access.
No internet system is completely secure. Use of the platform constitutes acceptance that some residual risk exists.
In the event of a confirmed security breach affecting your data, We will notify you and relevant authorities without undue delay and in any case no later than 72 hours after becoming aware.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Planta Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Planta regarding the service. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining Terms continue in full force.
Planta may freely assign all of its rights and obligations under these Terms to its affiliates, in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, or by operation of law, and may transfer your information to any of its affiliates, successor entities, or a new owner. You may not transfer these Terms to anyone else.
By accepting these Terms, you consent to receive communications from Planta electronically via WhatsApp or email. You agree that all notices, disclosures, and other communications We provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Keep your contact information updated.
If Planta does not exercise or enforce any legal right under these Terms, it does not constitute a waiver of that right.
Nothing in these Terms creates third-party beneficiary rights in any person not a party, including Hosts.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

What’s new · July 21, 2026
We rewrote these Terms from April 14, 2026 to be shorter, plainer, and easier to trust. The commitments didn’t change, the language did. A few things we spelled out more clearly: how we use email to keep you in the loop, how sponsors can appear in an Event’s Directory, and how voice conversations with Porter work.
