Pleons — collective leverage
Operated by Pleons LLC · Effective Date: September 4, 2026 · Version 2.1
Welcome to Pleons. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Pleons LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Pleons,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and govern your access to and use of the Pleons website, progressive web app, and related services (collectively, the “Service”), including everything available at pleons.com. Please read them carefully.
By creating an account, checking the box to accept these Terms, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You may use the Service only if you are at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract with us, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. If you are between 16 and the age of majority where you live, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly permit its use by, children under 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete it. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Pleons is a platform that lets people organize and join collective action — including boycotts, “buycotts” (campaigns to support a business), and petitions. Users create campaigns, pledge or sign, comment, and share. Pleons also surfaces publicly reported news headlines for context and links out to third-party sources.
User-driven, not editorial. Campaigns, comments, business names, and the claims within them are created by users, not by Pleons. We do not author, verify, adopt, or endorse user content, and the presence of a campaign on the Service is not a statement by Pleons about any business or person.
You own your content. You retain whatever ownership rights you have in the campaigns, comments, and other material you submit (“User Content”). We do not claim ownership of it.
License to operate the Service. You grant Pleons a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content for the purpose of operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete your User Content, except to the extent it has been shared with others who have not deleted it, or where retention is required by law.
Editing and ending campaigns. You may edit a campaign’s business name, title, target, goal, description, and alternatives only until another user pledges to or signs it. From that point the campaign’s content is locked, so that supporters are never attached to claims they did not agree to; you may still end the campaign at any time. A campaign’s duration cannot be extended after it is created, and ended campaigns remain visible in the archive.
Your promises about your content. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content; that it is accurate and not misleading; that it does not infringe any third party’s rights or violate any law; and that it complies with these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy below.
You are solely responsible for your User Content and conduct. You agree that you will NOT use the Service to:
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts for conduct we reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law, or that may expose Pleons or others to liability.
The Service includes tools to report campaigns and comments and to block other users (blocking hides that user’s campaigns and comments from you). The Service also applies automated filtering to reject certain abusive language. We may, but are not obligated to, review reported content. We may remove or restrict any content, or suspend or terminate any account, at our discretion, with or without notice. We are not responsible for the content others post and do not guarantee that any particular content will be reviewed or removed.
Notice to businesses and individuals. If you believe content on the Service is false, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise unlawful, contact us at legal@pleons.com with the URL, a description of the issue, and your contact information, and we will review it.
Pleons respects intellectual-property rights and responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes infringement, send a written notice to our designated agent containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): your signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act.
Designated DMCA Agent: Charles Henderson, Pleons LLC, 1420 Stavemill Rd, Powhatan, VA, 23139, legal@pleons.com.
We may remove allegedly infringing material, terminate repeat infringers, and forward notices to the user who posted the material. A user may submit a counter-notice as permitted by the DMCA.
You may choose to receive push notifications (for example, when someone pledges to or comments on your campaign). Notifications are off by default, require your permission through your browser or device, and can be turned off at any time from the bell icon in the app or in your device settings. We send essential account emails (such as confirmation and password-reset messages) regardless of your notification choice.
The Service may display headlines and links to third-party websites and sources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their terms and policies.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PLEONS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY USER CONTENT IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR LAWFUL. YOU USE THE SERVICE AND RELY ON ANY USER CONTENT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLEONS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE OR ANY USER CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PLEONS FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pleons LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or any rights of a third party.
You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account from your profile page in the app, which permanently removes your account, campaigns, pledges, and comments. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including content licenses already granted to others, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and the dispute provisions — will survive.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the version number and the effective date and may require you to re-accept the Terms before continuing to use the Service. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal law.
Venue. Except as provided below, you agree that any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Powhatan, Virginia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at legal@pleons.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Pleons regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect and the provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
