Terms of Use

ShiftSum · Effective date: 2026-07-19 · Version 1.0

These terms govern your use of the ShiftSum app (“the app”). By using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. What the app is

ShiftSum is a personal record-keeping tool for individual workers. It records the hours you worked and shows you an estimate of the gross pay you should expect, across all of your jobs. It is a tool for workers, not employers: it does not provide attendance management, team time tracking, approvals, scheduling, or location verification.

2. Estimates, not payroll or tax advice

All pay values are estimates based on rules entered by the user. The app must not claim to calculate legally authoritative wages, payroll, taxes, deductions, benefits, or net pay.

Every figure the app shows is a gross estimate computed from the rates, overtime rules, breaks, and adjustments you enter. The app does not and cannot know your actual employment contract, local law, collective agreement, tax situation, pension, benefits, or deductions. You are responsible for:

• entering correct rates, rules, and times;
• verifying the app’s estimates against your payslip or client payment;
• not relying on the app as legal, tax, payroll, or employment advice.

If the app and your payslip disagree, your employer’s or client’s records and applicable law govern — not the app.

3. Your data

Your record is stored on your device and belongs to you. You can export it as CSV, back it up as an encrypted file, or delete it at any time from Settings. CSV export and backup are never removed, including after a subscription expires. PDF reports are a Pro feature. See the Privacy Policy for the full data picture.

4. Free and Pro

The app offers a free tier and paid Pro options, as described in the app and on its App Store page:

• Pro annual — an auto-renewable yearly subscription.
• Pro lifetime — a one-time purchase that unlocks all Pro features permanently, including sync when the v1.1 sync release ships, under the Fair-Use Storage Policy.

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your App Store account settings. Apple manages billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds.
• Prices are shown in the app before purchase and may vary by territory. If a price changes, Apple notifies you under its own rules.
• You can restore previous purchases on any device signed in to your Apple ID: the paywall or Settings → Pro → Restore Purchases.

When a subscription expires, your records remain fully readable, and CSV export and encrypted backup stay available. PDF reports are Pro-only. Pro configuration and automation stop; nothing is deleted, hidden, or held hostage.

5. License and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal record-keeping, subject to these terms and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies to the extent these terms do not say otherwise.

You agree not to: misuse or interfere with the app; attempt to extract its source except as permitted by law; or use it to track other people without their knowledge — the app is a worker’s own record, not a monitoring tool.

6. No warranty; limitation of liability

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work hard to make the estimates accurate and the record reliable, but we do not warrant that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions made in reliance on the app’s estimates (including pay disputes, tax filings, or employment decisions). Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, or your statutory consumer rights.

7. Changes

We may update these terms as the app evolves. The current version is always at this URL; material changes are noted in the app’s release notes. Continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence remains unaffected.
