These terms govern your use of Splitstick. By creating an account, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
Splitstick is operated by Thedropzone Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16329867), whose registered office is at 48 Moorside Business Park, Moorside, Colchester, England, CO1 2ZF.
Splitstick lets you scan receipts and invoices, reads them automatically, and organises them into UK self-employment expense categories with spreadsheet, PDF and CSV exports. It is a bookkeeping aid, not a qualified accountant, and does not file tax returns or give tax advice.
The software reads documents automatically and is generally accurate, but it can misread a figure, misjudge a category, or make a mistake - the same as any automated tool. Every scanned document can be reviewed and corrected in the app before you rely on it. You are responsible for checking that the data is correct before using it for tax filings or any other purpose - we are not liable for errors in automatically-read data that you did not check.
You own everything you upload. We only process it to provide the service to you (see our Privacy Policy for exactly how). You can delete any or all of it, or close your account, at any time from Settings - deletion is immediate on our live systems, though a disaster-recovery backup copy can persist for up to 90 days afterwards.
Don't upload documents you don't have the right to upload, or anything unlawful, and don't use the service to process data belonging to people who haven't consented to it being handled this way (for example, a client's documents you're not authorised to hold).
To keep the service reliable and its running costs sustainable, we apply reasonable technical limits - for example, a daily cap on how many documents one account can scan, and limits on login/signup attempts to stop abuse. These exist to protect the service for everyone, not to restrict normal use; the current limits are generous enough to cover ordinary bookkeeping for a small business.
We aim to keep Splitstick available and reliable, but - like any online service - we can't guarantee uninterrupted access. We may need to take the service down briefly for maintenance, and will try to keep disruption to a minimum.
Splitstick is provided "as is." To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses arising from data you did not review before relying on it (see Section 3). Nothing in these terms limits liability for things the law doesn't allow us to limit, such as death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud.
We may update these terms from time to time, for example as the service grows or the law requires. We'll notify existing account holders by email of any material change before it takes effect. Continuing to use Splitstick after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
You can close your account at any time from Settings. We may close or suspend an account for the reasons in Section 4, or if the service is being discontinued - in the latter case we'll give reasonable notice so you can export your data first.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any disputes will be handled by the courts of England and Wales.
