Terms of Service

Last updated: April 27, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of LeanTo™(the “Service”), operated by Anvil Systems LLC (“Anvil Systems,” “we,” “us”). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

LeanTo is a hosted Kanban project management application. It allows you to create boards, organize work into columns and cards, collaborate with invited members, and track progress over time. Features may be added, changed, or removed as the Service evolves.

3. Account responsibilities

  • You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for safeguarding your password and any other credentials. Do not share them with anyone else.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including the actions of any users you invite to a workspace you administer.
  • Notify us at support@anvilsystems.com as soon as you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe anyone’s rights;
  • Upload, post, or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, fraudulent, or that contains malware;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users’ accounts, or any system or network connected to the Service;
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except through a security program we have explicitly authorized;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including through denial-of-service attacks or excessive automated traffic;
  • Scrape, crawl, or otherwise harvest data from the Service except through APIs we provide for that purpose;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
  • Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service without a separate written agreement.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, immediately for severe or repeated abuse.

5. Usage limits

Accounts may be subject to feature, storage, or usage limits, and may be rate-limited or suspended if their usage materially exceeds the intended scope of the service.

6. Termination

By you. You may downgrade to the free tier or delete your account at any time from your account settings. Account deletion follows the retention schedule described in our Privacy Policy.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, with reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure where the breach is curable. We may suspend or terminate immediately and without notice if (a) the breach is severe, (b) continued access poses a security or legal risk to us or other users, or (c) we are required to do so by law. We may also discontinue the Service in whole or in part with reasonable notice.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

7. Data ownership

You retain all rights to the content you and your collaborators upload to or create in the Service (“Customer Content”). You grant Anvil Systems a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, and display Customer Content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you. We do not use Customer Content to train machine-learning models, and we do not sell it.

We own the Service itself, including all software, design, documentation, branding, and infrastructure. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of the Service to you.

8. Intellectual property

“LeanTo”, the LeanTo logo, and related marks are trademarks of Anvil Systems LLC. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except for accurate descriptive references (for example, identifying LeanTo as a tool you use in a customer case study).

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANVIL SYSTEMS DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA YOU STORE WILL BE SECURE OR NOT LOST. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANVIL SYSTEMS’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT WILL ANVIL SYSTEMS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply in full to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Anvil Systems and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your Customer Content, (b) your use of or access to the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be the state and federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Last-updated date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide additional notice through the Service or by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
