The Software

The Company grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub licensable, royalty-free licence to use the Service, subject to these terms and conditions (the “Licence”). The Service may be accessed by you via a web browser or other device owned or controlled by you. The Service is designed to allow you to manage human resources matters, including holidays, absences and other employment-related data.

You shall use the Service for the processing of your own data, and for the data of individuals within your organisation, for internal business purposes only.

This Licence is not deemed to extend to any other programs or materials of the Company, other than the Service, unless specifically agreed in writing by the Company.

You acknowledge that you are licensed to use the Service only in accordance with these express terms and conditions, and not further or otherwise.

The Company may modify, add or remove functionality of the Service from time to time, without liability to you or any third party.

Licence Term

The Licence comes into force when you purchase a subscription to use the Service, and remains in force for one year (a “One Year Term”).

Where your Licence ends for any reason, you will no longer have access to the information stored on the Service. The Company has no obligation to maintain any of your data following termination, and is permitted to delete it once your Licence ends.
