By creating a Cloctopus account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use Cloctopus.
Cloctopus is a time tracking, mileage logging, and invoicing tool for independent contractors and small businesses. You are responsible for the accuracy of the time, mileage, and invoice data you enter or that the app records on your behalf (including GPS-detected trips), and for how you use it — including for tax and business-record purposes.
You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us right away if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
Cloctopus can automatically detect drives using your device's location services, but only if you turn on "Always Track" in Trip Rules — it is off by default. When enabled, the app monitors location in the background to detect trip start/end points so mileage can be logged automatically. You can turn this off at any time in Trip Rules, and doing so stops all background location monitoring. Location data collected this way is used only to log trips within your own account — see the Privacy Policy for how it's stored and who can see it.
If you connect a payment provider (currently Stripe) to accept payment on your invoices, you're connecting your own account with that provider directly. Cloctopus never holds, processes, or has access to your funds — payments flow directly between your client and your own Stripe account. You're responsible for complying with that provider's own terms and for any fees they charge.
You own the business, client, time, mileage, and invoice data you put into Cloctopus. We store it to provide the app to you and don't sell it. You can delete your account at any time from the Account tab, which permanently deletes your data — see the Privacy Policy for details.
Cloctopus is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep the app accurate and reliable (including GPS trip detection and invoice/payment automation), but we're not liable for lost data, missed payments, tax consequences, or business decisions made using the app. To the fullest extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to what you've paid us in the past 12 months.
We may update these terms as the app changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
