Terms of Service

Effective EFFECTIVE_DATE

1. Who we are

TipPool Desk ("the Service", "we", "us") is operated by Ivan Voss, a sole proprietor doing business as TipPool Desk. You can reach us at vossdigitaldesigns@gmail.com. By using the Service at tippooldesk.com, you agree to these terms. If you use it for a business, you agree on that business's behalf.

2. What the Service does

The Service is a calculator. It splits the tips and service charges you enter or import among the people and rules you set, and shows flags based on our reading of federal tip rules and the state rules it marks as verified. State wage rates come from the U.S. Department of Labor and change over time; check them before you rely on them.

The Service is not legal, payroll, tax or accounting advice. State and local laws differ and change. You are responsible for your tip-pool policy, for checking every payout before you pay it, and for complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act and any state or local law that applies to you.

3. Free and paid plans

The free plan can be used without an account. Paid plans ("Pro" and "Multi-site") and one-time products are sold through Link, a Stripe company, which acts as the merchant of record and reseller. Your receipt says "Sold through Link" and your card statement shows LINK.COM*. Link's own terms govern payment, billing, sales tax and receipts.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Manage billing in the app, or from your orders on Link's website. When you cancel, you keep paid features until the end of the period you've paid for. We'll give at least 30 days' notice by email before changing the price of an existing subscription.

Founding lifetime offer. The first 50 buyers can buy lifetime Pro for one location for a one-time payment of $49. It doesn't renew and is never charged again. "Lifetime" means for as long as we operate the Service. If we ever stop operating it, we'll tell you by email at least 30 days ahead.

4. Your data

On the free plan, the names, hours, rules and amounts you enter are stored only in your own browser. We don't receive them, and we can't recover them if your browser data is cleared. Keep your own records of every payout.

If a paid plan stores data on our servers, our Privacy Policy explains how we handle it.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use the Service to break the law, to underpay or withhold wages or tips owed to anyone, to attack or overload the Service, or to copy or resell it.

6. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and that results will be accurate or error-free.

7. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, wages, penalties or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 if you paid nothing.

8. Indemnity

If a claim is brought against us because of how you used the Service, including payouts you made or your tip-pool policy, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim.

9. Ending use

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these terms. Sections 2 and 6 to 10 continue after access ends.

10. General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. We may update these terms; if a change is material, we'll post it on this page and email paying customers at least 14 days before it takes effect. Questions go to vossdigitaldesigns@gmail.com.
