Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Clock In Business mobile application (the "App") operated by Derou Biglari ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms.

1. The service

The App is a workforce punch-clock tool for small businesses. Employers register a company account, create employee profiles, and manage schedules and time entries. Employees sign in with a code, record clock-in and clock-out times, request corrections, and communicate with their employer.

2. Accounts

• Employer accounts require a valid email address and a password. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential.
• Employee accounts are created by the employer. The employer is responsible for sharing the employee's sign-in code securely and for regenerating it if it is exposed.
• You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the App.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or reverse-engineer the App or its security features.
• Enter sign-in codes you are not authorized to use.
• Harass, threaten, or send unlawful content through the messaging feature.
• Interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our backend.

4. Data accuracy

Clock-in and clock-out timestamps are recorded by our server at the moment you press the button. We do not verify whether a punch reflects actual work performed. Payroll decisions, wage calculations, and employment-law compliance are the sole responsibility of the employer.

5. Employer / employee relationship

The App is a tool. It does not create, define, or govern any employment relationship between employers and employees who use it. Disputes between an employer and an employee — including disputes over hours, pay, edits, or messages — must be resolved between those parties.

6. Availability

We aim to keep the App available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The App relies on Google Firebase infrastructure and on your device's network connection. We are not liable for outages caused by third-party providers or network issues.

7. Fees

The App is currently offered free of charge. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will describe them in the App and, where required, ask for your consent before charging.

8. Intellectual property

The App, its source code, design, logos, and content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for its intended purpose.

9. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it and, for employers, by requesting deletion of your company account. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms or if we are required to do so by law.

10. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all such warranties.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

12. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Derou Biglari is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms.
