You acknowledge that ShiftAlert is a supplementary alarm tool and should not be your sole method of waking up for critical obligations. We are not responsible for any missed alarms, missed shifts, lost wages, disciplinary actions, or any other consequences resulting from alarm failures.

6. Schedule Scanning Accuracy

The schedule scanning feature uses on-device text recognition (OCR) to interpret printed work schedules. Recognition accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, print clarity, and schedule formatting. Scanned results are provided on a best-effort basis. You are responsible for reviewing all scanned shifts for accuracy before relying on them. We are not liable for errors resulting from incorrect schedule interpretation.

7. Intellectual Property

The App and all of its content, features, and functionality — including but not limited to design, code, graphics, icons, and audio — are owned by Luke Downie and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Luke Downie or ShiftAlert be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Luke Downie and ShiftAlert from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

12. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were last revised.
