These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your organization's installation, access, and use of the Simple Read And Approved application ("the App"), developed by Abalabs for the Atlassian Confluence Cloud platform via the Atlassian Forge framework.
1. Purpose & Description of the Service
Simple Read And Approved is an Atlassian Confluence Cloud macro designed to:
- Enable page authors and administrators to insert a formal acknowledgment button directly onto Confluence pages (such as HR procedures, security policies, onboarding documents, internal guidelines, and terms & conditions).
- Enable authorized team members and collaborators to confirm having read and approved a document with a single click.
- Provide page administrators with a consolidated, timestamped audit list identifying which members have confirmed the document.
2. Technical Prerequisites & Atlassian Forge Architecture
The use of Simple Read And Approved requires:
- An active, valid subscription to Atlassian Confluence Cloud.
- Sufficient Confluence administrator permissions to install apps from the Atlassian Marketplace.
The App is 100% hosted on the serverless Atlassian Forge infrastructure. All acknowledgment logs and user approval statuses are stored exclusively via Atlassian's Forge Storage API inside the customer's own cloud tenant. The customer explicitly acknowledges that Abalabs does not operate, host, or maintain external backend servers or external databases for this service ("Zero External Storage").
3. Licensing & Marketplace Terms
The acquisition, licensing, and billing of Simple Read And Approved are governed by the Atlassian Marketplace and Atlassian's standard customer terms (Atlassian Customer Agreement & Marketplace Terms of Use).
4. Customer Responsibilities & Legal Validity
Abalabs provides a technical software tool facilitating the collection and auditing of document acknowledgments within Confluence. The customer organization assumes sole responsibility for:
- Verifying whether the digital acknowledgment mechanism provided by Simple Read And Approved satisfies applicable statutory, legal, labor law, or regulatory requirements for the specific documents presented (including evidentiary standards or certified electronic signatures where required).
- Configuring appropriate Confluence page, space, and permission restrictions to ensure only authorized individuals have access to the document and its admin audit records.
- Informing employees and collaborators regarding internal acknowledgment workflows in compliance with applicable law.
5. Service Availability & Performance (SLA)
Because Simple Read And Approved executes entirely within Atlassian's serverless Forge cloud and relies on native Forge Storage, service availability, response times, and uptime are directly governed by Atlassian Cloud Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Abalabs undertakes to maintain the application, provide prompt bug fixes, and ensure regular updates to maintain continuous compatibility with the Atlassian Forge runtime environment.
6. Intellectual Property
The Simple Read And Approved application, including its source code, architecture, user interface components, documentation, and associated trademarks, remains the exclusive intellectual property of Abalabs.
Subject to compliance with these Terms and valid Marketplace licensing, the customer is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the application within their authorized Confluence Cloud instance.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Abalabs shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of business profits, or operational disruptions resulting from an Atlassian Cloud platform outage, unauthorized page configuration, or reliance on digital acknowledgments for purposes beyond the technical capabilities of the App.
8. Amendments to Terms
Abalabs reserves the right to modify or update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect functional, legal, or technical changes in the Atlassian ecosystem. The most current version is permanently made available at this URL.
