2. Acceptance & Entire Agreement
By accessing, registering for, or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, our End-User License Agreement ("EULA"), our Cookie Policy, our AI Disclosure, our Data Processing Addendum ("DPA"), our Subscription Terms, and any product-specific addenda (collectively, the "Agreements").
These Terms, together with the other Agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements (whether oral or written). If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case "you" refers to that entity. If you do not have such authority or do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
These Terms are drafted in English and 繁體中文. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the two language versions, the English version governs, unless a signed written agreement expressly provides otherwise.
This Agreement may be concluded electronically. You agree that your electronic acceptance (for example, clicking "I agree", creating an account, or using the Services) and any notice or communication we send to you electronically (including by email or an in-Service message) satisfy any requirement for writing or signature to the fullest extent permitted by the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553), except where that Ordinance excludes the relevant document or transaction.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in order to create an account, or to use the Services as an administrator or on behalf of an organisation. Where you use the Services as an employee or worker through your employer's or organisation's account (for example, to clock in or out or to view your schedule), you may be 15 years or older; your employer or organisation is responsible for obtaining any parental or guardian consent required and for complying with the Employment of Children Regulations and the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) protections for children and young persons.
By using the Services on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation and that the organisation agrees to be bound by these Terms.
We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK, or as otherwise required by applicable law). If you believe a child has registered, contact privacy@slashhub.hk and we will delete the Account within 7 days.
4. Account Registration & Security
To access most features, you must register for a SlashHub Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password, your API keys, your SSO tokens, and all activity on your Account.
We may require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for sensitive actions (e.g. SSO token issuance, billing changes, cross-product account linking). You agree to enable MFA where available and to use a strong, unique password. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to secure your Account credentials.
You must notify us immediately at abuse@slashhub.hk if you become aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your Account.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to (a) use the Services to violate any applicable law or third-party right; (b) upload malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Services; (c) use the AI Features to generate content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, infringing, or that targets minors; (d) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract the source code, AI model weights, training data, or trade secrets of any Service, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law; (e) scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access the Services except as permitted by our robots.txt or a written agreement; (f) use the Services to develop a competing product, to train a competing AI model, or to perform systematic benchmarking without our prior written consent; (g) bypass or attempt to bypass any rate limit, credit cap, IP allow-list, or other security measure; (h) use the Services in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our infrastructure or interfere with any other user's use of the Services; (i) upload Content that contains malware, viruses, ransomware, or other harmful code; or (j) assist any third party to do any of the foregoing.
See our full Acceptable Use Policy for a complete list of prohibited activities. We may suspend or terminate Accounts that violate this section, with or without notice.
6. SlashAI Agent Platform — Special Terms
SlashAI is a multi-agent AI platform that performs tasks on your behalf across our products and approved third-party integrations. By using SlashAI, you authorise it to act on your behalf within the scopes you define. SlashAI will not perform actions that (a) require legal signature in your name; (b) transfer funds above your defined limits; (c) share your Personal Data with third parties; or (d) materially affect your legal rights, without your explicit confirmation in the chat interface.
AI-generated Content is provided "as is" and may contain errors, hallucinations, or biased output. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI-generated Content before relying on it for any business, legal, medical, financial, tax, accounting, or other consequential decision. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for any particular purpose of AI-generated Content.
You may instruct SlashAI to remember specific facts about you ("Memory") and to perform scheduled tasks ("Jobs"). Memory entries and Jobs are visible and editable in your account dashboard at any time. We may delete Memory entries and disable Jobs that have been inactive for more than 180 days.
SlashAI consumes credits per invocation. Credit costs are disclosed before each action and may vary by tool, model, or complexity. Pro and Admin tiers include monthly credit allocations; overage rates apply thereafter. Credit balances are non-refundable once consumed.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SLASHAI IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LEGAL, MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
7. User Content & License Grants
You retain all right, title, and interest in your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and process your User Content solely to (a) provide, operate, secure and support the Services; (b) generate aggregated, anonymised statistics that cannot reasonably be linked to any individual; and (c) comply with legal obligations. We do NOT use the personal data of your employees or other individuals (the "Processed Data" under our Data Processing Addendum) to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model of ours, and we do not sell your User Content; any AI-model training we carry out is limited to anonymised, aggregated data, and to your own account content where you have opted in. This licence terminates when you delete your User Content, except for User Content that has been shared with other users, that has been cached or archived, or that we are required to retain by law.
You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content; (b) your User Content does not violate any law or third-party right; and (c) your User Content does not contain malware or other harmful code.
8. AI-Generated Content — Output License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your payment of applicable Fees, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable licence to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute AI-generated Content produced by the Services for your lawful business or personal purposes. This licence does not include the right to (a) represent AI-generated Content as having been created by a human where this would be misleading or required to be disclosed by law; (b) use AI-generated Content to train a competing AI model; or (c) sublicense AI-generated Content to a third party for the third party's own commercial purposes.
We do not claim ownership of AI-generated Content. However, due to the nature of generative AI, similar or identical Content may be generated for other users; we do not guarantee uniqueness.
We do not warrant that AI-generated Content does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights. You are responsible for the use of AI-generated Content and for any infringement claims arising therefrom.
9. Fees, Payments & Subscriptions
Some Services are provided for a Fee. By choosing a paid plan, you agree to pay all applicable Fees as described at the point of purchase, in your subscription settings, or in the applicable product Subscription Terms (e.g. the TimePlate Subscription Terms). Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
Subscriptions are billed annually in advance (unless a different billing period is stated at the point of purchase) and renew automatically for successive terms of the same length unless you cancel before the renewal date. By purchasing a subscription, you authorise us to charge your designated payment method for each renewal period. Payments are processed by our payment provider; we do not store full payment-card details on our servers.
If a renewal payment fails or is not received when due, your plan becomes past due and we may suspend access to paid features after a short grace period. An unpaid plan reverts automatically to the free tier at the end of the grace period; this automatic downgrade may occur even if our renewal or warning notices did not reach you.
We may change Fees upon at least 30 days' written notice. If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel before the change takes effect. Continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new Fees.
Taxes are exclusive of Fees. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and levies (including GST, VAT, sales tax, and any digital services tax) associated with your purchase, except for taxes on our net income.
For details of plans, limits, trials, upgrades, downgrades, add-ons, refunds, and billing, refer to the applicable product Subscription Terms, which form part of these Terms.
10. Refund Policy
SlashAI credit purchases are non-refundable once consumed. Unused credits do not expire while your Account is active but are forfeited upon Account termination.
Subscription Fees are non-refundable except where (a) we materially breach these Terms and fail to cure within 30 days of written notice; (b) required by law (e.g. the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU's 14-day cooling-off period for consumers, where applicable); or (c) we explicitly state otherwise in writing. In the case of a partial billing period, we will prorate the refund.
Free trials (if any) are provided at our sole discretion. We may revoke a free trial at any time without notice. You will not be charged for a free trial if you cancel before the trial ends.
11. Beta Features
From time to time, we may make Beta Features available to you. Beta Features are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty, and may contain errors, defects, or other issues that could cause data loss, system failures, or other harm. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any Beta Feature at any time, with or without notice.
You acknowledge that Beta Features are not generally available and may be modified or withdrawn. We are not obligated to release Beta Features as generally available features. Your use of Beta Features is at your sole risk.
Feedback you provide about Beta Features may be used by us without restriction or obligation to you.
12. API Terms
We may make our APIs available to you subject to these Terms and any additional API-specific terms. You agree to: (a) use the APIs only as documented; (b) not exceed any rate limits; (c) secure your API keys and treat them as confidential; (d) not reverse-engineer the APIs except as permitted by law; (e) cease all use upon termination of your Account; and (f) pay all applicable Fees for API usage beyond any free tier.
You may not use the APIs to build a competing product, to perform load testing without our written consent, or to scrape, mine, or extract data for purposes unrelated to your authorised integration.
We may modify or discontinue the APIs at any time, with at least 90 days' notice for breaking changes. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain backward compatibility for at least 12 months following any breaking change.
13. Service Availability & SLA
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate the Services (or any part) at any time, with or without notice, including for maintenance, updates, or force majeure events.
If you are on a paid plan, you may be eligible for service credits as described in your subscription terms. Except for service credits, our failure to meet any service level does not entitle you to a refund or any other remedy.
Scheduled maintenance windows are communicated at least 48 hours in advance. Emergency maintenance may be performed without notice to address critical security or stability issues.
14. Intellectual Property
The Services, including all software, AI models, algorithms, datasets, designs, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and trade secrets, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by Hong Kong and international intellectual property laws. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly set forth in these Terms, the EULA, or a separate written agreement.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Services in accordance with these Terms. This licence does not include the right to (a) resell or commercially exploit the Services; (b) copy, modify, or create derivative works (except as expressly permitted by law); (c) reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code or AI model weights; or (d) use the Services to build a competing product.
"SlashHub" and our logos are our trademarks. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written consent.
15. Third-Party Services & Integrations
The Services may integrate with, or rely on, third-party platforms and service providers (for example identity and authentication, cloud hosting and storage, payment processing, messaging, maps, and productivity services). We do not name our providers in these Terms so that we can change them without amending the contract, and we may add, replace, or remove any provider at any time. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, security, or any other aspect of any third-party service, nor for any damage or loss arising from your use of it.
SlashAI may invoke third-party tools on your behalf. Each tool invocation is logged in your account activity log and can be reviewed or revoked at any time. We are not responsible for the actions of any third-party service in response to a tool call.
16. Copyright & Intellectual Property Complaints
We respect intellectual property rights and operate a notice-and-takedown process under the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) of Hong Kong. If you believe that Content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to legal@slashhub.hk (subject line: "IP Complaint") containing: (a) your name and contact details; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the infringing material and its location on the Services; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (e) a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Counter-notices may be submitted to the same address. We may remove or disable access to infringing material and may terminate repeat infringers' Accounts in accordance with applicable law, including the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) and any applicable safe-harbour regime.
17. Termination & Suspension
We may suspend or terminate your Account, any subscription, or your access to any Service at any time, with or without notice, if (a) you breach these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the AUP, the EULA, or any product-specific addenda; (b) your use of the Services poses a security risk, may harm other users or third parties, or may create liability for us; (c) required by law or by a court or regulatory order; (d) you fail to pay Fees when due; (e) you have been inactive for more than 24 months; or (f) we elect to discontinue the Services (in whole or in part). Where practicable, we will give you advance notice and an opportunity to cure.
You may terminate your Account at any time from your account dashboard. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately, all subscriptions are cancelled (no refunds except as required by law), and any pending transactions are voided. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including §6, §7, §8, §14, §16, §18, §19, §20, §21, §22, §24, §25, §28, and §29) survive.
18. Disclaimers & Warranty
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, SECURITY, AND FREEDOM FROM MALWARE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE.
SlashAI is an AI tool that may produce incorrect, biased, or inappropriate output. You are solely responsible for verifying any output before relying on it. We are not a substitute for professional advice (legal, medical, financial, tax, accounting, or otherwise).
No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the Services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
19. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SLASHHUB LIMITED, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, OR SUCCESSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM (a) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES; (b) ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT; (c) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES; (d) UNAUTHORISED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT; OR (e) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (b) HKD 1,000. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS CAP IS REASONABLE AND THAT THE FEES REFLECT THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING (a) LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE; (b) LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; (c) LIABILITY UNDER THE CONTROL OF EXEMPTION CLAUSES ORDINANCE (CAP. 71) OF HONG KONG TO THE EXTENT IT RESTRICTS THE EXCLUSION OR RESTRICTION OF LIABILITY; AND (d) ANY STATUTORY RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED. THE EXCLUSIONS AND THE CAP ABOVE APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND THE CAP IS ENFORCEABLE TO THE EXTENT IT IS REASONABLE AND NOT OTHERWISE PROHIBITED.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH CASES, THE LIMITATIONS ABOVE APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
20. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SlashHub Limited and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any other Agreement; (c) your User Content; (d) your violation of any third-party right; (e) your violation of any applicable law; (f) any automated decision made by you based on AI-generated Content; or (g) any dispute between you and any other user or third party.
We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defence of those claims. You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.
21. Force Majeure
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms (excluding your payment obligations) due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, embargoes, strikes, labour disputes, internet or telecommunications outages, power failures, cyber attacks, denial-of-service attacks, supply chain disruptions, or failures of our third-party service providers.
If a force majeure event continues for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the affected subscription by written notice without liability (except for accrued payment obligations).
22. Export Controls
You may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Services in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions laws. These include, in Hong Kong, the Import and Export Ordinance (Cap. 60), the United Nations Sanctions Ordinance (Cap. 575), and the Weapons of Mass Destruction (Control of Provision of Services) Ordinance (Cap. 526); and, where they apply to you, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the EU Dual-Use Regulation, the UK Strategic Export Control Lists, and UN Security Council sanctions.
You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country subject to comprehensive sanctions; (b) you are not on any restricted-party list (including the U.S. Denied Persons List, Entity List, Specially Designated Nationals, the EU Consolidated List, the UK Consolidated List, or the UN Consolidated List); and (c) you will not use the Services for any prohibited end-use under applicable export-control laws.
23. No Class or Representative Proceedings
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
Where a claim proceeds before a court rather than by arbitration, and only to the extent that a jury trial would otherwise be available and may lawfully be waived, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial. If this section is held unenforceable in a particular case, it shall not affect the validity of the arbitration agreement in §24, which shall continue to apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
24. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms (including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination of these Terms, and any non-contractual obligations) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The award shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Hong Kong (or, in respect of enforcement of the award, any court of competent jurisdiction) to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or other proprietary rights.
Nothing in this section limits either party's right to seek injunctive relief in respect of intellectual property infringement or breach of confidentiality obligations.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you at least 30 days before the change takes effect by email and by a prominent notice in the Services. The notice will identify the material change and provide access to the previous version for comparison.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Services before the effective date and may close your Account. There is no refund for a change you decline; you may cancel prospectively.
Non-material changes (e.g. clarifications, typo fixes, contact-information updates) take effect immediately upon posting.
26. General Provisions
These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy, AUP, EULA, Cookie Policy, AI Disclosure, DPA, Subscription Terms, and product-specific addenda) constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral or written).
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to any affiliate, successor, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us. No third party shall have any rights to enforce any provision of these Terms (and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623) is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law).
The Services and their descriptions, including any marketing, promotional, or sales materials, demos, forecasts, or estimates, do not form part of this Agreement and are not a representation, warranty, or guarantee of any particular result or outcome. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, or representation that is not expressly set out in this Agreement.
The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation.
27. Severability & Non-Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorised representative.
28. Nature of the Service; No Employment, Professional, or Fiduciary Relationship
SlashHub is a provider of software and related services only. We are not your employer, employee, agent, fiduciary, accountant, auditor, tax adviser, payroll bureau, employment agency, or professional adviser, and nothing in these Terms creates any such relationship.
Where a Service (including TimePlate) is used to record attendance, compute hours, schedule shifts, or calculate pay, MPF, or tax, you remain solely responsible for all statutory and contractual obligations as the employer or principal — including under the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Cap. 485), the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112), and all other applicable employment, tax, and social-security laws. All calculations and outputs are estimates and tools for your own review; they are not professional advice and must be independently verified before you rely on them.
You are the data user (within the meaning of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486)) in respect of the personal data of your employees and other individuals that you input into the Services. We process such data as your agent/processor and on your instructions only. You are responsible for providing all required notifications and obtaining all required consents (including for any biometric or location data) and for the accuracy and lawfulness of the data you input.
We may suspend features pending clarification of any legal or regulatory obligation, and we are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to meet your own statutory or contractual obligations.

Product-Specific Addendum — timeplate
The following additional terms apply specifically to timeplate and supplement the main document above.
T-1. TimePlate-Specific Terms (Workforce Management for All Companies)
TimePlate is a workforce-management, attendance, payroll, and shift-scheduling platform designed for companies of all sizes and industries — including but not limited to retail, hospitality, restaurants, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, construction, logistics, education, and the public sector. By using TimePlate, you agree to the additional terms in this Addendum.
**Industry Modes.** TimePlate provides industry-specific templates and rule packs to accommodate different workforce needs: (a) **Hospitality / Restaurants** — tip-out rules, Average Daily Wage (ADW), split-shifts, statutory-holiday pay under the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57); (b) **Retail** — multi-site scheduling, seasonal rotas, commission tracking; (c) **Healthcare** — shift handovers, on-call rotas, professional-registration expiry tracking; (d) **Manufacturing** — production-line rosters, overtime caps, fatigue-management rules; (e) **Construction** — site-based attendance, weather-day rules, CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) compliance; (f) **Professional Services** — billable-hour tracking, project allocation, leave-management; (g) **Education** — academic-year calendars, term-time scheduling, substitute-teacher pools; (h) **Logistics & Warehousing** — shift bidding, fatigue rules, vehicle-assignment logs; (i) **General Office** — flexible working, remote/hybrid scheduling, core-hours compliance. You select an industry mode at sign-up and may switch modes at any time; switching does not erase your existing data but may require you to re-verify industry-specific settings.
**Third-Party Integrations.** TimePlate may integrate or interoperate with third-party systems and services (for example point-of-sale, accounting, messaging, or identity services). Third-party services are provided and operated by their respective owners under their own terms and privacy policies. SlashHub is not a party to any third-party transaction and is not responsible for any third-party service, including its availability, accuracy, security, content, acts, or omissions, or for any payment dispute, refund, chargeback, outage, or data loss arising from it. We do not name our integration partners here so that we may add, change, or remove integrations without amending this Addendum.
**Outputs Are Estimates; You Must Verify.** Attendance records, worked-hours and overtime figures, leave balances, payroll and MPF computations, statutory-holiday and rest-day treatments, tax figures, reports, exports, schedules, and any other output of TimePlate are ESTIMATES and tools provided for your own review. They are not professional advice and are not a substitute for the judgement of a qualified accountant, payroll professional, or lawyer. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving every output before you use it, rely on it, publish it to your employees, or file it with any authority. SlashHub is not liable for any underpayment, overpayment, statutory penalty, surcharge, fine, interest, assessment, or employee claim arising from your reliance on any output.
**No Employment or Similar Decisions.** TimePlate does not make, and must not be used to make, employment or other decisions about individuals without human review. You must not use TimePlate to automatically terminate, discipline, demote, or otherwise materially affect an employee without a human decision-maker reviewing the underlying information. You are responsible for any decision you make in reliance on TimePlate data or AI suggestions.
**Your Records & Backups.** You are responsible for keeping your own records and backups of the data you need to retain (for example, records required by the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112), the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), or MPF purposes), including by exporting data from TimePlate periodically. SlashHub is not liable for any loss of data that you have not independently backed up or exported.
**Employee Data — You Are the Data User.** You are the data user (Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486)) and, where applicable, the controller, of your employees' personal data (name, contact details, ID and bank details, schedule, hours worked, pay rate, attendance and location records, performance notes, training records, and, if you enable it, biometric data). SlashHub processes that data only as your data processor, on your instructions, and never for its own purposes. You represent and warrant that you have provided each employee with a Personal Information Collection Statement, obtained all necessary consents (including explicit consent for biometric and location data), and that your instructions to us are lawful. Our processing of employee data is governed by our Data Processing Addendum (available at /dpa), which forms part of these Terms.
**Payroll, MPF & Tax Computation.** Payroll, MPF, statutory-holiday and rest-day, overtime, leave, and tax figures are computed from the data you provide and the rules you configure. TimePlate performs COMPUTATION AND EXPORT ONLY: it does not move money, pay wages, remit MPF, or file returns, and is not a payroll bureau, employment agency, or tax adviser. You remain solely responsible, as the employer, for all statutory and contractual obligations (including under the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Cap. 485), and the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112)) and for the accuracy and timeliness of every payment, contribution, and filing. SlashHub is not liable for any miscalculation, under- or over-payment, MPF surcharge, tax assessment, penalty, or employee claim arising from inaccurate input data, your configuration, your failure to verify an output, or any change in law.
**Multi-Site & Multi-Country.** TimePlate supports scheduling and payroll for companies operating in multiple sites, regions, or countries. Each site may have its own timezone, currency, and labour-law configuration. You are responsible for configuring each site correctly and for complying with the local employment, tax, and data-protection laws of each jurisdiction in which you operate.
**Attendance, Location & Biometrics.** TimePlate may record clock-in/clock-out times and, if you enable them, GPS location, IP address, device signals, and biometric data (face or fingerprint). Biometric and location features are OPTIONAL and OFF unless you enable them. Before enabling any such feature you must give the affected employee the required Personal Information Collection Statement and obtain their EXPLICIT consent, must offer a reasonable non-biometric alternative, and must retain evidence of consent. You are responsible for resolving any attendance dispute, and SlashHub is not liable for any dispute over whether an employee was present or worked particular hours. You may disable these features at any time.
**AI Scheduling & Forecasting.** SlashAI may assist with shift scheduling, demand forecasting, and labour-cost optimisation. All AI suggestions are drafts; you must review and approve before publishing to your employees. SlashHub is not liable for misallocations arising from inaccurate historical data or from your failure to incorporate local labour laws into the constraints.
**Workforce Data Sharing.** Aggregated, anonymised workforce metrics (e.g. industry-wide turnover rates, average overtime hours) may be used to improve TimePlate's scheduling recommendations. Personally identifiable employee data is never shared or sold.
T-2. TimePlate Subscriptions, Plans & Billing
TimePlate offers a free tier and paid subscription plans (currently Starter, Plus, and Pro, billed yearly or monthly), each with its own store and employee limits and price, as described on our pricing page and in the TimePlate Subscription Terms. Any plan described as "Enterprise" is not currently offered for self-serve purchase; where referenced, it is subject to a separate written agreement. The Free plan is limited (currently 1 store and 10 employees) and is intended for evaluation. Plan names, limits, features, and prices may change on the notice provided in the Subscription Terms.
Paid TimePlate plans are billed annually in advance, in Hong Kong Dollars, through our payment provider. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive 12-month terms unless you cancel before the renewal date. By purchasing a paid plan, you authorise us to charge the payment method on file at each renewal.
New paid plans may include a trial period. If no payment is received by the end of a trial, the plan automatically reverts to the Free plan and its limits. Similarly, if a renewal payment fails or is not received, the plan becomes past due and, after a short grace period, automatically reverts to the Free plan. These automatic changes may occur even if our renewal or warning notices did not reach you.
Plan fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law; there are no partial or pro-rated refunds for cancellation, downgrade, or non-use. Upgrades take effect immediately (pro-rated), and downgrades take effect at the next renewal. Exceeding your plan limits may restrict or block functions until you upgrade. Add-ons (e.g. training sessions, advanced analytics, white-label branding) are billed separately and are available only on eligible plans.
The TimePlate Subscription Terms set out the full terms of purchase, billing, renewal, cancellation, refunds, promotional and loyalty pricing, and the conclusive nature of our system and payment records. The TimePlate Subscription Terms form part of the Terms of Service. Notices (including renewal notices, invoices, receipts, and expiry warnings) are deemed delivered when sent to the contact details on your account; non-receipt of a notice does not delay a renewal charge, prevent an automatic downgrade, or excuse payment.
T-3. TimePlate Partner Programme (Sales Partners / 合作者)
The TimePlate Partner Programme allows approved individuals and entities (internal or external "Partners") to earn commission by referring paying customers through a unique invite code. Participation is governed by the TimePlate Partner Programme Agreement (the "Partner Agreement"), which is available at /partner-terms and forms part of these Terms. By applying to, being accepted into, or participating in the Programme, you agree to the Partner Agreement.
Commission is a ONE-TIME percentage (15%–25%, rising automatically with your cumulative attributed first-year revenue) of the Net First-Year Fee actually received and retained by SlashHub. THERE IS NO BASE SALARY and no guaranteed income. Renewals, subsequent years, add-ons, free plans, and any amount not ultimately retained (including refunds and chargebacks) do not earn commission. Attribution is first-write-wins, must be linked at sign-up or before the customer's first payment, is unavailable after payment, and self-referral is prohibited. SlashHub may suspend or rotate invite codes, and its records are conclusive.
Partners participate solely as independent contractors; no employment, agency, partnership, or fiduciary relationship is created and Partners have no authority to bind SlashHub. Commission is provisional, and SlashHub may reverse or recover it (clawback) and set it off against amounts owed where a payment is refunded, charged back, or not retained, or where commission was earned through fraud, error, or breach. NO PAYOUT IS MADE until a TimePlate administrator confirms the final payable amount. SlashHub may suspend, terminate, or prospectively modify the Programme at any time. The Partner Agreement contains its own disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, tax, confidentiality, and governing-law clauses, which apply to the Programme and prevail over these Terms for Programme matters.
