Using PI
By accessing the PI website, using the add-in, or requesting support, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website, add-in, or related support services.
Terms of Use
Terms for Project Intelligence for Excel Free Community Edition
These Terms of Use apply to Project Intelligence for Excel ("PI"), including the Free Community Edition, related public pages at pilabs.app, and associated support interactions provided by Pi Labs. Pi Labs is currently operated by Ryan McCall as a sole trader.
Important: The Free Community Edition is open for learning, education, demonstrations, evaluation,
and self-guided non-commercial use. Commercial production use, live project use by a company, company rollout,
production deployment, implementation support, and priority support will require a paid commercial-use licence,
approved pilot, or separate written agreement with Pi Labs.
What PI is for
PI supports project-controls workflows in Excel, including forecast development, project reporting, look-ahead planning, setup and repair, progress-gate updates, error checking, tutorial guidance, and workbook protection.
Intended free-use scope
The Free Community Edition is intended for learning, education, demonstrations, evaluation, self-guided non-commercial use, self-guided workbook setup, self-guided template experimentation, university/student use, graduate/trainee use, and sample workbooks or pilots where PI is not used as a commercial production deployment.
No Pi Labs registration, sign-in, licence key, paid account, or enterprise account is required to use the Free Community Edition as made available at launch.
Paid licence, approved pilot, or written agreement required
Commercial production use, live project use by a company, company rollout, production deployment, implementation support, and priority support will require a paid commercial-use licence, approved pilot, or separate written agreement with Pi Labs.
Company-specific template development, managed production templates, advanced reporting packs, QA document generation, onboarding, training, certification, and future PI Pro / Team / Enterprise capabilities may be offered separately.
Use within the accepted scope
- You may use PI only for lawful purposes and within the Free Community Edition or separately agreed commercial scope that applies to you.
- You remain responsible for ensuring you have authority to use the relevant workbook content.
- You must not misuse the site or add-in, interfere with service availability, or attempt unauthorised access.
Validate outputs and maintain backups
PI is a software tool that assists with project-controls workflows. Users remain responsible for reviewing, validating, and approving their own workbook content, forecasts, reports, and downstream decisions.
You are solely responsible for maintaining current backups and version history of your workbooks before using PI. Pi Labs does not undertake to preserve, recover, reconstruct, or restore lost, corrupted, overwritten, or incompatible workbook data or information.
No workforce surveillance or adverse personnel use
You must not use PI to monitor, track, profile, rank, benchmark, or evaluate identifiable individuals or identifiable groups for performance management, disciplinary action, remuneration decisions, promotion, termination, staffing selection, or any other adverse employment or personnel action.
When Pi Labs may suspend or terminate access
Pi Labs may suspend, restrict, or terminate access, support, or future licensing where use is unlawful, abusive, commercially harmful, inconsistent with these Terms, or reasonably believed to involve prohibited monitoring, profiling, adverse personnel decision-making, or commercial production use outside the accepted Free Community Edition scope.
Service provided as-is
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PI is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
Project decisions remain with the user
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pi Labs will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or business losses arising from or related to the use of PI, including loss, corruption, overwrite, restoration, or recovery of data, reporting errors, forecast errors, project outcomes, or the cost of reconstructing workbook information.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified under applicable law.
Updates and support scope
Pi Labs may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website, add-in, Free Community Edition, or support processes from time to time. Public policy pages will be updated where appropriate.
Best-efforts community support may be provided where practical. Guaranteed response times, priority support, implementation support, company rollout, and production deployment support are not included in the Free Community Edition unless agreed separately in writing.
PI Pro / Team / Enterprise path
Future PI Pro / Team / Enterprise capabilities, paid monthly subscriptions, commercial-use rights, implementation packages, onboarding, training, managed templates, advanced reporting packs, QA document generation, and certification may be offered separately.
No licence to source code or materials
Except for the limited right to access and use PI as made available by Pi Labs in accordance with these Terms, no licence, assignment, or transfer of any intellectual property rights is granted to you.
Unless Pi Labs gives prior written permission, and except to the extent a restriction is not permitted by applicable law, you must not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, sublicense, adapt, modify, translate, scrape, harvest, mirror, frame, index, extract, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the PI website, add-in, source code, object code, scripts, documentation, layout, or related materials.
Any repository, package, or code access provided by Pi Labs is subject only to the specific written licence or written authorisation accompanying that material. Third-party components remain subject to their own licence terms and notices.
