Terms of Service

Draft: the operator's legal name and contact details haven't been filled in yet.

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of this service ("we", "us") for the use of Cronta (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you use it for a business, you agree on behalf of that business.

1. The Service

The Service lets a business ("Company") record when its employees start and end work and take breaks, schedule shifts, add up hours and overtime, and export them for payroll. Employees clock in with their phone at the Company's store or on a device the Company sets up there.

2. Accounts

• You must give accurate information and keep your password and two-step codes secret. You're responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite to your dashboard.
• Tell us right away at our contact address if you think your account was used without permission.
• You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a contract to create a Company account.

3. The Company's responsibilities

• Telling employees. The Service records punch times, the location of the phone or device at the moment of each punch and, if the Company turns it on, a photo. The Company must tell its employees about this and get any consent the law requires. The Service provides a plain-language notice employees confirm when they sign up; the Company is responsible for posting it and for meeting its local rules.
• Pay and the law. The Service helps add up hours and overtime using common federal and state rules, but it isn't legal, tax or payroll advice. The Company is responsible for paying its employees correctly, for its pay rates and settings, for checking the results, and for keeping payroll records as long as the law requires (you can download a full backup at any time).
• Lawful use. Use the Service only to run your own workforce, and not to track anyone outside work.

4. Your data

The Company owns the data it and its employees put into the Service. We use it only to provide and improve the Service, to keep it secure, and as the Privacy Policy describes. We don't sell it. You can export it at any time (Settings → Backup, and Payroll exports). When you close the account we delete it as described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Plans and payment

• The Service is free for up to 5 active employees. With more, it costs the price shown on our website per active employee per month, billed monthly in advance through our payment processor (Stripe). Prices don't include taxes.
• The number of active employees can change during the month; the charge is adjusted proportionally.
• If a payment fails, you keep using the Service for a grace period, but you can't add people until it's paid. You can cancel any time from Settings → Plan and billing; the plan stays until the end of the paid month. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments aren't refunded.
• We'll give at least 30 days' notice by email or in the Service before changing prices.

6. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service: no trying to get into other companies' data or accounts, breaking or overloading it, getting around its security or location checks, reselling it without our permission, or using it for anything illegal.

7. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service running and secure but can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may change or improve features; if we remove something important, we'll tell you in advance when we reasonably can.

8. Warranty disclaimer and limits of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or $100 if you use the free plan).

9. Ending the agreement

You can stop using the Service and close your account any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the Service or others at risk; when we can, we'll warn you first and give you a chance to export your data.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you at least 30 days before it applies. Using the Service after that means you accept the new terms.
