Work-A-Beez Terms of Service
Terms of service between Linton Business Solutions LLC (Work-A-Beez) and subscribing business customers.
1. Agreement and Business Use
These Terms are between Linton Business Solutions LLC, doing business as Work-A-Beez, and the business or organization that creates or uses a Work-A-Beez customer account ("Customer").
The person accepting represents that they are at least 18 and authorized to bind the Customer.
2. Service
Work-A-Beez is cloud-based workforce-management software that may support:
- employee and contractor records;
- PIN-based timekeeping;
- authorized clock-in devices;
- schedules and shift changes;
- attendance and punctuality;
- PTO requests;
- timesheets;
- payroll-ready reports and pay summaries;
- announcements, messages, notifications, performance, and recognition;
- reporting and analytics.
Features may vary by plan.
Work-A-Beez is not an employer, payroll processor, PEO, tax adviser, accountant, law firm, HR consultant, timekeeping compliance auditor, or government reporting agent.
3. Accounts and Administrators
Customer controls its organization, administrators, users, permissions, devices, configurations, and data. Customer must:
- provide accurate information;
- restrict administrator privileges;
- protect credentials and PINs;
- promptly remove former users;
- review security and audit information;
- notify LBS of suspected compromise.
4. Customer Responsibilities
Customer is solely responsible for:
- legal authority to collect and process worker information;
- employee and contractor notices and consents;
- wage, hour, overtime, break, scheduling, leave, payroll, tax, privacy, labor, and employment compliance;
- configuring pay rates, overtime, rounding, deductions, breaks, and policies;
- verifying all timecards, calculations, reports, and payroll outputs;
- retaining legally required records;
- responding to employees and government agencies;
- the accuracy, lawfulness, and quality of Customer Data.
Software calculations do not replace independent payroll and legal review.
5. Authorized Users and Employees
Customer may permit authorized employees, contractors, managers, administrators, and agents to use the service. Customer is responsible for their activity and for providing these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy.
Employee users do not become direct payroll or employment clients of LBS.
6. Customer Data
Customer retains ownership and control of information submitted to the service.
Customer grants LBS a limited, non-exclusive right to host, copy, transmit, display, back up, secure, troubleshoot, and otherwise process Customer Data to provide and improve the service, follow documented instructions, comply with law, and enforce agreements.
LBS does not acquire ownership of employee records.
7. Privacy Roles
For employee and workforce information, Customer generally acts as controller or business and LBS acts as processor or service provider.
For business contacts, billing, service analytics, account security, and direct support interactions, LBS may act independently for legitimate business purposes.
The Data Processing Addendum applies when incorporated or legally required.
8. No Biometric or Location Authorization
These Terms do not authorize Customer to collect biometric identifiers or precise geolocation through Work-A-Beez. If a feature later supports such data, it may be used only after separate activation, legal review, notice, consent, and contract terms.
9. Plans, Trial, and Billing
Current published plans may include:
- Starter: $0 monthly, up to 5 employees and one authorized clock-in device;
- Growth: $29 monthly, up to 25 employees and three authorized clock-in devices;
- Business: $79 monthly, up to 100 employees and unlimited authorized devices.
Every new paid-plan customer may receive a 90-day free trial with plan limits waived during the trial. A payment card may be required. Unless canceled before the trial ends, the selected paid plan automatically begins and renews monthly.
Pricing, limits, trial duration, taxes, and renewal terms shown at checkout control.
10. Cancellation
Customer may cancel through Company Settings or another method shown in the service. Cancellation stops future renewal. Access continues through the current paid period unless terminated for breach.
No partial-period refund is provided except as required by law or stated in the Work-A-Beez Subscription, Cancellation, and Refund Policy.
11. Data Export and Deletion
During an active account and for the stated post-termination period, Customer may export supported data in available formats.
After termination, LBS may retain Customer Data for a limited recovery period and then delete or deidentify it, subject to legal obligations and backup cycles.
Customer must export data before deletion and remains responsible for legally required records.
12. Security
LBS uses reasonable safeguards designed to protect the service. Customer remains responsible for endpoint security, internet connectivity, internal access, administrator practices, and authorized-device control.
No service can guarantee absolute security.
13. Service Availability
LBS aims to provide reliable access but does not guarantee uninterrupted service unless a signed SLA says otherwise. Maintenance, updates, third-party outages, emergencies, security incidents, and force majeure may affect availability.
LBS may modify features, but will not materially reduce a paid plan's core functionality during the paid term without notice or an appropriate remedy.
14. Support
Support channels, response targets, and included assistance depend on plan and published documentation. Response targets are goals, not guarantees, unless in a signed SLA.
15. Acceptable Use
The Work-A-Beez Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into these Terms.
16. Third-Party Services
The service may use or connect to payment, hosting, database, authentication, email, analytics, and other providers. Third-party services are subject to their terms. LBS is not responsible for third-party systems outside its control.
17. Intellectual Property
LBS owns or licenses the service, code, interfaces, workflows, documentation, trademarks, and related technology. Customer receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service during the subscription.
No reverse engineering, resale, sublicensing, competitive copying, or unauthorized security testing is permitted.
18. Aggregated and Deidentified Information
LBS may use aggregated or deidentified information for security, performance, analytics, benchmarking, and product improvement, provided it does not identify Customer or an individual.
LBS will not use identifiable Customer Data to train publicly available general-purpose AI models without Customer authorization.
19. Confidentiality
Each party will protect the other's non-public confidential information using reasonable care and use it only for the relationship. Customer Data is Customer Confidential Information.
20. Suspension
LBS may suspend access when reasonably necessary to address:
- nonpayment;
- security threats;
- unlawful activity;
- material breach;
- harm to the service or others;
- excessive or abusive use.
Where practical, LBS will provide notice and limit the suspension to affected access.
21. Termination
Either party may terminate for uncured material breach. Customer may terminate by canceling. Sections that by nature should survive will survive, including payment, confidentiality, ownership, disclaimers, liability, and dispute provisions.
22. Warranties and Disclaimers
LBS warrants that it will provide the service in a professional manner consistent with published documentation.
EXCEPT FOR THAT LIMITED WARRANTY, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." LBS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, LEGAL COMPLIANCE, PAYROLL ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.
23. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR DATA.
LBS IS NOT LIABLE FOR EMPLOYMENT CLAIMS, WAGE CLAIMS, TAXES, PENALTIES, PAYROLL ERRORS, OR GOVERNMENT FINES CAUSED BY CUSTOMER CONFIGURATION, DATA, DECISIONS, OR FAILURE TO REVIEW OUTPUTS.
LBS's aggregate liability will not exceed subscription fees paid by Customer during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. The cap does not apply to liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited.
24. Indemnification
Customer will defend and indemnify LBS against third-party claims arising from Customer Data, Customer's employment practices, Customer's failure to provide required notices or consent, unlawful configuration or use, or material breach, except to the extent caused by LBS's own breach or unlawful conduct.
25. Government and Enterprise Agreements
A signed order form, enterprise agreement, DPA, SLA, or government contract may add or replace terms. In a conflict, the signed document controls.
26. Governing Law and Venue
Texas law governs. State and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction, unless a signed agreement or applicable law provides otherwise.
27. Notices and Changes
Material changes will be communicated through reasonable electronic notice. Changes will not retroactively alter a paid order without legal basis.
