2.4 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Field Workers authenticate via phone-based OTP (one-time passcode). Admin Users authenticate via credentials set during Account setup. You agree to notify us immediately at support@geowork.app if you suspect unauthorized access to your Account.

3. License and Permitted Use

Customers may invite an unlimited number of Authorized Users under a single Subscription Plan. Each Authorized User must agree to these Terms prior to using the Service. You are responsible for all actions taken by your Authorized Users.

3.3 Permitted Use

You may use the Service to:

• Create and manage job sites with geofenced boundaries
• Record and verify field worker clock-in and clock-out events via GPS
• Track time entries for payroll and labor compliance purposes

• Circumvent any security, access control, or billing mechanism

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

4.1 Subscription Plans

Geowork offers two Subscription Plans:

Plan features are identical. The Annual Plan provides a price discount in exchange for a twelve-month commitment.

4.2 Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") pursuant to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy. By providing payment information, you authorize Geowork to charge your payment method through Stripe for all applicable fees.

Geowork does not store your full card number, CVV, or bank account details. Payment data is tokenized and handled entirely by Stripe in accordance with PCI DSS standards.

4.3 Billing Cycle

• Monthly Plan: Billed on the same calendar date each month beginning from the date of purchase. If a billing date falls on a day that does not exist in a given month, billing occurs on the last day of that month.
• Annual Plan: Billed in full at the time of purchase for the twelve-month period. Annual plans do not auto-renew unless you affirmatively choose to renew.

4.4 Automatic Renewal

Monthly Plans automatically renew each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the next billing date. You may cancel at any time through your Account settings or by contacting support@geowork.app.

4.5 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, Geowork will attempt to retry the charge up to three times over seven days. If payment remains outstanding after three attempts, your Account will be suspended and access to the Service will be disabled until payment is resolved. Customer Data is retained for 30 days following suspension before permanent deletion.

4.6 Price Changes

Geowork may change Subscription pricing upon at least 30 days' written notice to Admin Users. Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

5. Refund Policy

5.1 Monthly Plans

Monthly Plans may be cancelled at any time. Cancellation stops future charges. No refunds or credits are issued for the current billing month in which you cancel, as access to the Service continues through the end of the paid period.

5.2 Annual Plans

Annual Plans are non-refundable once payment is processed. Please review the Service thoroughly using the demo environment before purchasing an Annual Plan. If you have a billing dispute, contact us at support@geowork.app within 14 days of the charge.

5.3 Demo Environment

Geowork provides a full-featured demo environment prior to purchase. No credit card is required to access the demo. We encourage all prospective customers to evaluate the Service before committing to a paid plan.

5.4 Exceptions

Refunds may be considered at Geowork's sole discretion in cases of: (a) documented technical failure that rendered the Service materially inoperable for more than 72 consecutive hours; or (b) billing errors attributable to Geowork. Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of the relevant event.

6. Customer Data and Ownership

6.1 Customer Ownership

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Customer Data. Geowork claims no ownership of your time records, GPS logs, worker profiles, job data, or messages.

6.2 License to Customer Data

You grant Geowork a limited, non-exclusive license to access, process, store, and transmit Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Service to you and as described in our Privacy Policy.

6.3 Data Accuracy

Geowork stores time entries and GPS coordinates as submitted. Geowork does not independently verify, audit, or certify that Customer Data is accurate or complete for any legal, regulatory, or payroll purpose. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of your time records.

6.4 Data Portability

Upon request, Geowork will provide Customer Data in CSV format within 30 days. Requests should be sent to support@geowork.app.

6.5 Data Deletion

Upon termination of your Subscription, Geowork will retain Customer Data for 30 days to allow for export. After 30 days, Customer Data is permanently deleted from production systems. Residual copies in backup systems are deleted within 90 days following the standard backup retention cycle.

7. GPS Tracking and Worker Consent

7.1 GPS Tracking Scope

Geowork captures worker GPS location only during active clock-in sessions. Location data is not collected when a worker is clocked out, on an approved break marked in the system, or not actively using the Service.

7.2 Customer Responsibility for Consent

You are solely responsible for obtaining all required consents, notices, and authorizations from your field workers prior to using Geowork's GPS tracking features. This includes compliance with applicable state laws (including California Labor Code § 2804 and similar statutes), employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements, and any other applicable legal requirements.

Geowork recommends that Customers:

• Provide written notice to workers that the Service includes GPS-based location tracking during work hours
• Obtain written acknowledgment from workers prior to onboarding them to the Service
• Maintain records of worker consent in accordance with applicable law

7.3 No Tracking Off the Clock

Geowork does not track, store, or transmit worker location data when a worker is not clocked in. This is a technical control enforced at the application layer.

7.4 Geofence Boundaries

Job site geofences are set by Admin Users. Geowork does not establish geofence parameters. The accuracy of geofence enforcement depends on device GPS hardware, network conditions, and physical environment. Geowork does not warrant that geofence detection is accurate to any specific meter radius under all conditions.

8. Audit Trail and Immutable Records

8.1 Append-Only Ledger

Time entries in Geowork are stored in an immutable, append-only ledger. Entries cannot be deleted or modified once submitted. Corrections are handled by creating new entries with a reference to the original, preserving a complete audit chain.

8.2 Audit Hash

Geowork generates a display hash for each verified clock-in event based on the entry ID, timestamp, and job site identifier. This hash is provided for reference only and does not constitute a cryptographic certificate of authenticity for legal proceedings. Geowork makes no warranty that audit hashes satisfy any specific evidentiary standard.

8.3 No Deletion by Users

Field Workers and Admin Users cannot delete time entries. Corrections must be made by creating amendment entries. This design is intentional to maintain the integrity of payroll and attendance records.

9. Third-Party Services

Geowork integrates with or relies upon the following third-party services:

Geowork is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or performance of third-party services. Your use of third-party services integrated with Geowork may be subject to those providers' own terms and privacy policies.

10. Acceptable Use
