01 · TL;DR
- The plugin, the documentation and this site are free, and getting started needs no payment method.
- Access to the plugin goes out by invitation, requested through a short survey.
- Nothing is charged without at least 30 days' notice by email, naming the amount and the date it applies from. If you do nothing, you stay on the free plan.
- Enterprise is agreed with each company in a separate contract.
- Your design tokens never reach Syntope infrastructure. They live in your Figma file and in the repository you connect.
02 · Who you contract with
These terms govern the relationship between you and the operator of Syntope:
Represented by the managing directors Benjamin Zschoche · Dario Iannone · Anna Drewes. Referred to below as “Syntope” or “we”. The same details, in their statutory form, are on the imprint.
03 · What these terms cover
These terms apply to three things Syntope provides:
- the Syntope Tokens Figma plugin,
- the documentation at
docs.syntope.eu, - and this website at
syntope.eu.
The plugin runs inside Figma, so your use of Figma itself is governed by Figma's terms. A sync provider you connect, such as GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket Cloud, is governed by that provider's terms. These terms cover only what Syntope provides.
How personal data is handled is not part of these terms. It is set out in the privacy notice.
These terms apply to consumers and businesses alike. Where a provision applies only to consumers (§ 13 BGB) or only to businesses (§ 14 BGB), it says so.
04 · Access and features
Access to the plugin goes out by invitation; it is not installed from the Figma Community. To ask for it, answer the short survey about your token setup. It ends with your email address, and the invitation is sent to the address given there.
Syntope may change or remove features of the free plan where there is a valid reason, such as further development of the plugin, security, legal requirements or changes to the Figma API. Significant changes are announced by email in advance. For Enterprise, the contract agreed with you applies.
05 · The plugin and its licence
The source code of the plugin is licensed under the Functional Source License, Version 1.1, ALv2 Future License (FSL-1.1-ALv2), a Fair Source licence. It applies to each version of the plugin that Syntope makes available under it, and it permits any use other than a Competing Use as the licence defines that term. Two years after Syntope makes a version available, that version also becomes available under the Apache License 2.0.
Copies of the plugin distributed under an earlier version of these terms stay under the Apache-2.0 licence named there.
The licence covers the code of the plugin. It grants no right to use the Syntope name or logo, except to display the licence details and to identify Syntope as the origin of the software (section “Trademarks” of the licence).
These terms govern what Syntope provides as a service: access to the plugin, the documentation and this website. They do not restrict any right the licence grants. For the code of the plugin as such, the licence's own disclaimer of warranty and liability (section “Disclaimer”) applies, to the extent German law permits; for the services, § 09 applies.
06 · Costs and Enterprise
The plans are Free and Enterprise. There is no price list and nothing to book: the free plan, the documentation and this website cost nothing, and using them needs no payment method.
Enterprise is not offered at a published price. It is agreed with each company in a separate contract, which sets its scope, price, term and termination. Where that contract differs from these terms, the contract prevails as an individual agreement (§ 305b BGB).
Nothing is charged without at least 30 days' notice by email, naming the amount and the date it applies from. If you do nothing, you stay on the free plan.
Before anything can be booked through this website or the plugin, these terms are extended to cover it, as set out in § 13, including the statutory right of withdrawal for consumers.
07 · Your design tokens
The tokens you author with the plugin are stored on the Figma file itself and, once you connect a sync provider, in your own repository. They are never stored on Syntope infrastructure, and the plugin sends no copy of them to us. Sync credentials (the provider token and repository settings) stay in Figma's clientStorage on your machine. The privacy notice describes this in detail (§ 03 and § 07).
Because your tokens never reach us, we have no access to them. Stopping using the plugin, or ending an Enterprise contract, never costs you data: the tokens stay in your Figma file and in your repository.
08 · The documentation
The documentation at docs.syntope.eu is public. Reading it takes no account and no sign-in.
What is processed when you read it is set out in the privacy notice (§ 06).
09 · Liability
Syntope is liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), and where Syntope has given a guarantee.
For slight negligence, Syntope is liable only if it breaches an essential obligation: one whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place, and on which you may regularly rely. Liability is then limited to the damage that is typical for the contract and foreseeable when it was concluded.
The free plan, the documentation and this website are provided free of charge. For them, Syntope is not liable for slight negligence at all, except for injury to life, body or health.
Beyond this, liability is excluded. The limitations above also apply to the personal liability of the managing directors, employees and agents of Syntope.
The free plan, the documentation and this website come without a commitment to availability. Your tokens live in your Figma file and your own repository, so backing them up is your responsibility; the version history of Figma and of your repository is the usual way to do it.
10 · Ending use
You can stop using the plugin at any time, and your tokens stay in your Figma file and your repository. On the free plan there is nothing to cancel.
Syntope can end your access to the free plan with at least 30 days' notice by email, or without notice for good cause (§ 314 BGB), for example misuse of the service, attacks on it, or use that breaks the law. An Enterprise contract ends under the conditions agreed in it.
11 · Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not take away the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence.
If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from these terms is Cologne (Köln).
Whether we take part in consumer dispute resolution proceedings is stated on the imprint (§ 04).
12 · Contact
Questions about these terms: contact@syntope.eu. Replies usually take about 24 hours on a weekday.
13 · Changes to these terms
A new version of these terms is announced by email to the address you gave us, at least 30 days before it is meant to apply, together with what changed. It applies to you only once you accept it. If you do not, the version you agreed to stays in force, and Syntope can end your access to the free plan as set out in § 10.
With every new version, the version and effective date at the top are bumped. The current version is 1.6, effective 09.11.2026. Every version is listed below, so you can see which terms applied when:
