Terms of Service

1. What Usetally does

Usetally is software for preparing and sending quotations, invoices and receipts, tracking your own costs, and recording payments. If you connect a payment provider (such as Stripe, Paystack, Flutterwave or Bachs), your customers pay you through that provider's page, and the money goes into your own account with that provider.

Usetally does not hold, move or receive your customers' money. We are not a bank, a payment provider or a party to your sale. Your use of a payment provider is governed by your own agreement with that provider, including its fees, refunds, chargebacks and payouts.

2. Your account

• Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password private. You're responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite to your team.
• The account owner controls the business account, its plan and its team. Managers and other roles have the permissions described in the app.
• You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a contract.

3. Free trial, plans and payment

• New businesses get a free trial, as described when you sign up. After it ends, or if a paid plan runs out, you move to the Free plan, whose current limits are shown on our pricing page, and which adds “Powered by Usetally” to documents (as it does during the trial). Your existing records stay available.
• Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly in advance, at the price shown when you pay. Plans do not renew automatically: you renew from Plan & billing before your period ends.
• Each plan has limits, such as documents per month and team members. If you reach a limit, you can upgrade or wait for the next month.
• We may change public prices. Changes apply from your next renewal, and we'll show the new price before you pay. Founding-customer prices stay as agreed.
• Payments for Usetally plans are not refundable, except where the law requires a refund or we decide otherwise in a specific case.

4. Your responsibilities

• You're responsible for the content of your quotations, invoices and receipts, including prices, taxes (such as VAT), and the goods or services you provide.
• You're responsible for meeting your own legal, tax and record-keeping obligations. Usetally is a tool, not tax or legal advice.
• You must have the right to use the customer details you enter, and you must use them lawfully (see our Privacy Policy).
• Keep your payment provider keys secure and tell us straight away if you think they've been exposed.

5. Connected apps and AI assistants

You can connect AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude or Grok to your business. Anything a connected assistant does through your connection counts as done by you and follows your team role's permissions. AI assistants can make mistakes: check quotes and invoices before they're sent, and you remain responsible for their content. Assistants are provided by third parties under their own terms, and Usetally isn't responsible for their availability or what they produce. You can disconnect them at any time in Settings → AI & MCP.

6. Things you must not do

• Use Usetally for fraud, money laundering, scams, illegal goods or services, or anything your payment provider forbids.
• Send misleading or fake invoices, or invoices in someone else's name without their permission.
• Try to access other businesses' data, get around plan limits, or interfere with Usetally's security or operation.
• Copy, resell or reverse-engineer Usetally except as the law allows.

7. Your data

The business information, customers, documents and costs you put into Usetally belong to you. You give us permission to store and process them only to run Usetally for you, as described in our Privacy Policy and our Data Processing Agreement, which is part of these terms. You can download all of it at any time. Hidden cost lines are shown only to your team members who are allowed to see them, never to your customers.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep Usetally available and secure, but we can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may improve, change or remove features. If we make a change that significantly reduces what you've paid for, we'll tell you in advance.

9. Suspension and closing your account

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or is required to be suspended by law or a payment provider. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. You can stop using Usetally at any time. The owner can delete the business in Settings → Privacy & data: it is permanently deleted 30 days later, and can be cancelled until then.

10. Liability

Usetally is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or losses caused by payment providers, your customers or events outside our reasonable control. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for Usetally in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Usetally is registered. Disputes will be handled by the courts of that country, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim there.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
