1. Who provides Verified Hours
Verified Hours is provided by [Developer’s full legal name], an individual developer based in [Country and contact address] (“the developer”, “I”, or “me”). Contact: [Legal contact email]. No incorporated company is identified as the provider.
2. Scope and acceptance
These terms cover the Verified Hours desktop application, browser companion, website, and connected verification service. Once finalized and made available to you, they describe the conditions for using those services. If you act for a client or organization, you must have authority to do so. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement.
3. What the app does
Verified Hours records work-session metadata and assists with assessing its relevance to your project. It can produce reviewed work records and statements. Automated verification is an estimate based on available context, not an independent audit, certification of productivity, guarantee of accuracy, or promise that a client will pay an invoice.
You are responsible for reviewing classifications, correcting mistakes, and agreeing billing terms with your clients. Disclosed working allowances are additional to verified time and should be agreed with the client. Website demonstrations use simulated activity and do not verify a visitor’s actual work.
4. Permission to use the software
You receive a limited, non-exclusive right to use the app for lawful purposes, subject to these terms and any applicable purchase terms. The app and its branding remain the property of their respective owners. Third-party components remain subject to their own licenses. Nothing here limits rights granted by an applicable open-source license or mandatory law.
5. Your responsibilities
Use the app only on devices and accounts you are authorized to use. Obtain any necessary permissions before processing client or other people’s information. Do not use it for covert monitoring, fabricate verified records, circumvent security or usage limits, or interfere with the service. Keep device credentials secure and provide accurate information when connecting verification.
6. Data and client records
You retain your rights in your project information and records. You permit processing of the information necessary to operate the features you use, as described in the Privacy Policy. Review exports before sharing them, especially when they contain client details, project descriptions, rates, or activity information. Maintain backups of important local records; the service is not a backup of your device.
7. Connected services and availability
Connected verification depends on internet access, supported operating-system permissions, and external services. Features may be interrupted, changed, or unavailable, and automated results can be wrong. Updates may change compatibility or functionality. Material changes affecting paid services will be handled subject to the terms disclosed at purchase and applicable law.
8. Pricing and purchases
Any paid plan, renewal, cancellation, or refund terms must be clearly presented before purchase. These terms do not create an undisclosed subscription or payment obligation. Statutory cancellation, refund, and consumer rights remain unaffected.
9. Stopping use and suspension
You can stop using the app, pause sessions, revoke permissions, or uninstall it. Uninstalling may leave local data or exported files behind. Contact the developer about account or server-side deletion. Access may be restricted where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, or legal requirements, with notice where practicable.
10. Liability and your legal rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the software is provided without a promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Review its output before relying on it for billing, employment, tax, or contractual decisions. These terms do not exclude liability or remedies that cannot legally be excluded, including mandatory consumer protections. No blanket waiver of statutory rights is intended.
11. Disputes, changes, and contact
Please contact [Legal contact email] first so an issue can be addressed. Governing law and any jurisdiction provision remain [to be completed after the developer’s country and intended markets are confirmed]; no mandatory arbitration or exclusive foreign forum is imposed by this draft.
Finalized revisions will carry an updated date. Material changes will be communicated appropriately before taking effect where required. Changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights.
