Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using Shiftctl ("Service") you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Users in the UK and EU may have additional statutory rights that are not affected by these Terms.

2. The Service

Shiftctl is a cloud-based on-call shift management platform that enables IT and MSP teams to log shift activity, manage handoffs, and coordinate on-call schedules. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice.

3. Accounts

  • You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials.
  • You must be at least 18 years old (or 16 in the UK/EU where permitted by local law).
  • One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one free account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulations.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure.
  • Transmit malware, spam, or any content that is harmful, defamatory, or infringing.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy any part of the Service.
  • Resell or sublicense access to the Service without written permission.

5. Subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal

  • Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual cycle via Stripe.
  • All fees are exclusive of taxes (GST, VAT, etc.) which are added where applicable.
  • Auto-renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Settings → Billing → Manage subscription.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain full access to paid features until then.
  • Annual plan cancellations are non-refundable — access continues until the end of the paid period.
  • We do not offer refunds for change of mind after a billing period has started.
  • We will provide a pro-rata credit or refund if the Service fails to function materially as described or experiences significant unplanned downtime attributable to us.
  • Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or equivalent legislation.
  • We may change pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

See our full Refund Policy for jurisdiction-specific details including UK cooling-off rights and US auto-renewal disclosures.

6. Your data

You retain ownership of all data you input into Shiftctl ("Customer Data"). You grant us a limited licence to store and process Customer Data solely to provide the Service. We will not access Customer Data except to provide support, ensure security, or as required by law.

See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and content, is owned by Shiftctl and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Service.

8. Uptime and support

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act, or equivalent legislation.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms. You may delete your account at any time from Settings. On termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, either party may pursue remedies through the courts of Victoria, without prejudice to any statutory dispute resolution rights available to consumers in the UK or EU.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms with 14 days' notice via email or in-app notification. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
