Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and ExpenseApp Staging LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”). They cover your use of the JobLit application at https://app.joblit.pro, the website at https://joblit.pro, and related services (together, the “Service”).

You accept these Terms by creating an account, accepting an invitation, starting a subscription or using the Service. Our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy and Billing & Refund Policy are part of these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who may use the Service

The Service is for business and professional use. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you have the authority to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from receiving it under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, including sanctions and export control laws.

3. Accounts, workspaces and roles

• Workspaces. Records are kept in workspaces. The person who creates a workspace, or the organization they act for, is its “Account Owner”, is responsible for it, and controls who is invited and what role they have.
• Your sign-in. The Service signs you in with links sent to your email address, and optionally with a password. Anyone who can read your email can sign in as you, so keep your email account secure. Do not share your sign-in with anyone. Tell us promptly at security@staging.expenseapp.example if you suspect unauthorized access.
• Accurate information. Keep your account details accurate and up to date.
• Crew members. The Account Owner is responsible for the people they invite and for everything done under the workspace. If a member leaves, the Account Owner should remove them.
• Responsibility. You are responsible for all activity under your account and workspace.

4. Plans, fees and billing

• Plans. We offer a Free plan and paid plans. Their features and limits are described on our pricing page and in the Service.
• Automatic renewal. Paid plans are billed in advance each month through our payment processor, Stripe. They renew automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. By starting a paid plan, you authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method at the start of each billing period.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in the Service or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep paid features until then.
• Refunds. Fees are non-refundable except as stated in our Billing & Refund Policy or required by law.
• Taxes. Prices do not include taxes unless we say otherwise. You are responsible for applicable sales, use, VAT and similar taxes.
• Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice before a price increase. The new price applies from your first renewal after the notice period ends. If you don’t want to pay it, cancel before then.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may retry it. If it still can’t be collected after a reasonable period, your workspace moves to the Free plan.

5. The Free plan

The Free plan is provided at no charge, with no commitment to availability or support. We may change its features or limits. We will give at least 30 days’ notice before reducing them, and a reduced limit never deletes content you have already stored. We may also end the Free plan, with the same notice. Creating multiple workspaces or accounts for one business to get around plan limits is not allowed.

6. Your content

• You own it. Everything you and your workspace members put into the Service, including records, files, images and text (“Your Content”), remains yours.
• What you allow us to do. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content. We may do so only as needed to provide, secure, support and improve the Service, and as required by law. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, as described in our Privacy Policy.
• Your responsibility. You confirm that you have the rights to Your Content. That includes any notices and consents needed for the personal information of your clients, workers and anyone else it covers.
• Sensitive information. Do not store information the Service doesn’t need and isn’t designed to protect. That includes Social Security or other government ID numbers, full payment card or bank account numbers, passwords, and health or biometric information. Receipt images that show only the last few digits of a card are fine.
• Keep your own copies. We take reasonable steps to protect Your Content, but no service is immune to loss. Use the export features to keep your own copies of important records, especially records the law requires you to keep.
• Aggregate data. We may use aggregated, de-identified information about how the Service is used to operate and improve it, as long as it does not identify you, your workspace or any individual.

7. Crew, time and location records

If you use the Service to record the work of employees, contractors or other workers, you agree that:

• you decide whether to use time tracking and location capture, and you are solely responsible for that decision;
• you will give workers any notice, and get any consent, that applies law requires before recording their time or location. Some jurisdictions require written notice of electronic monitoring.
• you will comply with all applicable wage-and-hour, labor, record-keeping, privacy and worker-monitoring laws;
• you are responsible for the accuracy of the hourly rates, time entries and other records you or your workers enter;
• the Service does not calculate overtime, meal or rest breaks, payroll, taxes or withholding. Labor cost figures are estimates based on the rates you enter.
• time records kept in the Service may not meet the record-keeping requirements where you operate, and you will keep any records the law requires in the form it requires.

You may not use location capture to monitor anyone who has not been properly notified, or anyone outside a genuine working relationship with you.

8. Not professional advice

The Service is a set of record-keeping tools. It does not provide accounting, tax, legal, payroll, financial or insurance advice. Budgets, balances, profit and loss figures, spending estimates and projections are calculated from the data entered and may be incomplete or wrong. Projections are estimates of what might happen, not predictions or guarantees. Consult a qualified professional before relying on them for business, tax or legal decisions.

9. Acceptable use

You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy. We may remove content that breaks it, and suspend or terminate accounts that break it.

10. Our property and your feedback

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos and the JobLit name, belongs to us and our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for your internal business purposes. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

11. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, such as Stripe for payments and email providers for sign-in links. Their services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. If you open a link to a third-party website, you do so at your own risk.

12. Changes and availability

We are continually improving the Service and may add, change or remove features. If we remove a material feature of a paid plan, we will give at least 30 days’ notice. We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It may be unavailable during maintenance, outages or events beyond our control. Features labeled beta or preview are provided as-is and may change or be withdrawn.

13. Suspension and termination

• By you. You can stop using the Service at any time. To close your workspace and have its data deleted, contact support@staging.expenseapp.example.
• By us. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay, use the Service in a way that creates legal risk or harms others, or if we are required to by law. Where practicable and lawful, we will warn you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
• If we discontinue the Service, we will give at least 30 days’ notice and refund any prepaid fees for the unused part of your billing period.
• Getting your data out. After termination, you will have 30 days to export Your Content. This does not apply where we terminated because of a serious violation, or where the law prohibits it. After that period, we may delete Your Content as described in our Privacy Policy.
• Survival. Sections 6 (the responsibility and aggregate data terms), 7, 8, 10 and 13 through 19 continue to apply after termination.

14. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. That includes any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and accuracy. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that data will never be lost, or that any calculation, estimate or projection will be accurate.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor our affiliates, officers, employees, agents or suppliers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill or data, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties or damages to be excluded or limited, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

16. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless ExpenseApp Staging LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees and agents from third-party claims, and from the resulting losses, liabilities, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees), that arise from:

• Your Content;
• your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or the law;
• your relationship with your workers or clients, including claims about wages, time records, monitoring or privacy.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Before either party starts legal proceedings, it will send the other a written description of the dispute, and both will try in good faith to resolve it informally for at least 30 days. Our notices go to your account email address. Yours go to legal@staging.expenseapp.example.

If the dispute is not resolved, the courts located in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to their personal jurisdiction. However, either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where it qualifies, or seek urgent injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. If mandatory law where you live gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, nothing in this section removes that right.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here and update the effective date. For material changes, we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the Service before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them. If you don’t agree, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription before the changes take effect.

19. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they reference, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and they replace any earlier agreements on the same subject.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets.
• Severability and waiver. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced as far as possible and the rest will remain in effect. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. This does not apply to payment obligations.
• Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, employment or agency relationship.
• Electronic communications. You agree that we may give you notices, disclosures and agreements electronically, by email or in the Service, and that they satisfy any requirement for written communication.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. If a translation conflicts with the English version, the English version controls. Headings are for convenience only, and “including” means “including without limitation”.
