Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GigLedgerPro mobile application (the “Service”) operated by GoatBird Inc. (“GoatBird,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a California corporation located at 2108 N ST STE N, Sacramento, CA 95816, USA. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and GoatBird. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case “you” refers to both you individually and that entity.

2. Privacy Policy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and disclose information about users. The Privacy Policy is available at gigledgerpro.app/privacy and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

The Service is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you represent that you have obtained the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service, and your parent or guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at support@gigledgerpro.app.

Notwithstanding the above, certain features of the Service – particularly those involving invoicing, business financial management, and 1099/W-2 income tracking – are designed for use in a commercial or business context. We strongly recommend that minor users have parental or guardian involvement when using such features.

4. Description of the Service

GigLedgerPro is a mobile application for iOS (iPhone and iPad) that provides tools for freelancers and independent contractors, including musicians, session players, audio engineers, and other creative professionals, to:

• Track projects and their status
• Create, manage, and export invoices
• Track payment status (paid and unpaid)
• Generate reports and analytics
• Estimate potential quarterly tax obligations for 1099 freelance income, including separation of 1099 and W-2 income where applicable

The Service is available by subscription through the Apple App Store. Features and availability may change over time. GoatBird reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.

5. Financial and Tax Disclaimer

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

The Service may display estimated tax calculations, quarterly tax estimates, 1099/W-2 income summaries, and other financial projections (collectively, “Financial Estimates”). These Financial Estimates are generated algorithmically based solely on the data you enter and are provided for general informational and planning purposes only.

FINANCIAL ESTIMATES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE DO NOT CONSTITUTE AND ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR LEGAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, FINANCIAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

The Service does not account for deductions, credits, exemptions, state or local taxes, changes in tax law, your individual financial circumstances, or other factors that may materially affect your actual tax liability.

You should consult a qualified CPA, tax advisor, attorney, or other licensed professional before making any financial or tax decisions. GoatBird expressly disclaims any liability for reliance on the Financial Estimates, including any underpayment penalties, interest, or other tax liabilities you may incur.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR: (a) verifying the accuracy of all data you enter; (b) verifying all invoices, records, and calculations; (c) making all required tax filings and payments in a timely and accurate manner; and (d) complying with all applicable federal, state, local, and international tax laws and regulations.

6. Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Automatic Renewal

6.1 Subscription Plans

The Service is offered as an auto-renewable subscription through Apple’s App Store. Current pricing is:

• Monthly: $12.99 per month
• Annual: $99.99 per year

Pricing is subject to change. Any price changes will be communicated to you in accordance with Apple’s policies before taking effect.

6.2 Free Trial

New subscribers may be eligible for a 7-day free trial. Only one free trial is available per Apple ID. If you do not cancel before the end of the free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged.

6.3 Automatic Renewal and Cancellation

Unless you cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period, your subscription will automatically renew for an additional period at the applicable price. Apple will charge the payment method associated with your Apple ID within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your device). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current subscription period; you will continue to have access to the Service until that date.

6.4 Purchases by Minors

If you are under 18, any in-app purchases (including subscriptions) must be authorized by a parent or legal guardian. GoatBird is not responsible for unauthorized purchases made by minors.

7. Payments and Refunds

All billing, payment processing, and subscription management are handled entirely by Apple through your Apple ID account. GoatBird does not collect, process, or store your payment card or banking information.

All purchase decisions are final subject to Apple’s policies. Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policies. GoatBird has no control over and does not process refunds. To request a refund from Apple, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

Applicable taxes on your subscription, if any, are determined and collected by Apple.

8. User Data; Storage and Sync

You retain full ownership of all information you enter into the Service, including your business profile, client contact information, project details, invoices, line items, and reports (“User Data”).

User Data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud syncing, User Data will sync via your personal iCloud account pursuant to Apple’s terms of service and privacy policy. GoatBird does not operate servers that store your project or invoice User Data, and GoatBird does not have access to locally stored or iCloud-synced User Data.

During the onboarding process, we collect your first name, last name, and email address, which are transmitted to RevenueCat (to link subscription entitlements with your Apple account) and, if you opt in to marketing communications, to ConvertKit. This data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of your User Data. GoatBird is not responsible for any loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of User Data resulting from device failure, iCloud issues, deletion, or any other cause.

9. Exported Content and Sharing

The Service allows you to export invoices and reports in various formats (such as PDF and CSV) using iOS sharing functionality, including email, messaging apps, AirDrop, cloud storage services, and other iOS-compatible applications.

Once exported, GoatBird has no control over and is not responsible for the delivery, distribution, security, confidentiality, access controls, retention, or modification of exported documents. You are solely responsible for ensuring that exported documents are shared only with intended recipients and in compliance with applicable laws. Be aware that exported documents may contain sensitive financial or personal information; exercise care when sharing them.

The Service does not include real-time collaboration features. Data sharing with third parties is accomplished solely through manual export functionality (PDF, CSV, or iOS share sheet).

10. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with and relies upon the following third-party services to function. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Apple – App Store billing, subscription management, and iCloud storage/sync (apple.com/legal)
• RevenueCat – Subscription infrastructure, entitlement management, and linking of subscription status with your account (revenuecat.com/privacy)
• TelemetryDeck – Privacy-focused, anonymous usage analytics (telemetrydeck.com/privacy)
• ConvertKit – Marketing email communications (only if you opt in) (convertkit.com/privacy)

GoatBird is not responsible for the acts, omissions, or privacy practices of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of each third-party service you use in connection with the Service.

11. Acceptable Use

By using the Service, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation
• Use the Service to commit fraud, including the creation of false or misleading invoices
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service, its servers, networks, or systems
• Introduce malware, viruses, Trojan horses, ransomware, or other malicious code into the Service or its infrastructure
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive source code from the Service
• Use automated bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to access or extract data from the Service
• Use the Service in a manner that infringes the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party
• Sublicense, resell, or transfer access to the Service to any third party

GoatBird reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service immediately and without notice if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these acceptable use requirements.

12. Intellectual Property

The Service and all related software, source code, algorithms, designs, interfaces, trademarks, service marks, logos, branding, documentation, and content (excluding User Data) are the exclusive property of GoatBird Inc. and its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and timely payment of applicable subscription fees, GoatBird grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Service on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal or internal business purposes.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in or to the Service beyond the limited license expressly set forth above. Any unauthorized use of the Service terminates the license granted herein.

If you provide GoatBird with feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other input regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you grant GoatBird a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, incorporate, and exploit such Feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOATBIRD EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

GOATBIRD DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS; (B) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (C) ANY ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED; (D) THE RESULTS OR CALCULATIONS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE, INCLUDING TAX ESTIMATES, WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; OR (E) THE SERVICE WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL DEVICES, OPERATING SYSTEMS, OR THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so the above exclusions may not apply to you in full.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOATBIRD AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF GOATBIRD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

GOATBIRD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY: (A) TAX PENALTIES, INTEREST, UNDERPAYMENT CHARGES, OR OTHER TAX LIABILITIES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON FINANCIAL ESTIMATES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE; (B) LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF USER DATA; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA; OR (D) ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.

IN ANY EVENT, GOATBIRD’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00); OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GOATBIRD FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The limitations in this Section 14 are a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between GoatBird and you. The Service would not be provided without these limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GoatBird Inc and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your use of the Service; (c) any User Data you submit, store, or export through the Service; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (e) your violation of any third-party rights.

16. Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

16.1 Binding Arbitration

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and GoatBird arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your relationship with GoatBird (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery, and is subject to very limited review by courts.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at adr.org). Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and GoatBird agree in writing to a different location or to conduct the arbitration by telephone or video conference.

16.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND GOATBIRD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

16.3 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Either party may also seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information. The filing of a petition for such relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

16.4 Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to GoatBird at support@gigledgerpro.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, all other provisions of these Terms remain in effect, and any disputes will be resolved in the courts specified in Section 17.

16.5 Severability of Arbitration Provisions

If the class action waiver in Section 16.2 is found to be unenforceable for any reason, then the entire arbitration agreement in this Section 16 will be null and void. If any other provision of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration provisions will remain in effect.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation, enforcement, and application of the arbitration provisions in Section 16. For any disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 16 (including if you validly opt out), you and GoatBird each irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

18. Apple App Store Requirements

If you downloaded or access the Service through the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, and in the event of any conflict, the Apple terms will govern solely with respect to your App Store relationship:

• These Terms are between you and GoatBird only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). As between GoatBird and Apple, GoatBird is solely responsible for the Service and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the Service. GoatBird is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied.
• In the event the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the applicable purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession or use of the Service, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) claims that the Service fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements; or (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the Service or your possession or use of the Service infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of such claim – GoatBird is.
• Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the Service (e.g., your wireless data service agreement).

19. International Users; GDPR and Cross-Border Compliance

The Service is operated from the United States. GoatBird plans to actively market the Service to users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom (“UK”), Canada, and Australia. If you access or use the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

For users located in the EEA or UK, our Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) supplements these Terms and is incorporated herein by reference. The DPA is available at gigledgerpro.app/dpa. The DPA sets out the roles, responsibilities, and obligations of GoatBird as a data controller and/or processor under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and UK GDPR.

For users in Canada, the Privacy Policy and DPA address our obligations under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and applicable provincial privacy laws.

For users in Australia, the Privacy Policy and DPA address our obligations under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”).

20. Changes to These Terms

GoatBird reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service, via push notification, by email, or by other reasonable means, and will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms.

Your continued use of the Service following the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription. If material changes affect subscriptions already purchased, we will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice before those changes take effect.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect any other provision.

22. Waiver

GoatBird’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or right. Any waiver by GoatBird of a particular breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms (including the Privacy Policy and any Data Processing Addendum incorporated herein by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and GoatBird with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, representations, and communications, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
