LOGmyGIG — Terms of Use
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and myGIGlife INC. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") about your use of LOGmyGIG (the "App"). If you use the App on behalf of a business, "you" also means that business. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
PLEASE READ SECTION 3 CAREFULLY: THE APP DOES NOT GIVE TAX, LEGAL, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. PLEASE ALSO READ SECTIONS 26 THROUGH 29: THEY REQUIRE MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, WAIVE CLASS ACTIONS, AND EXPLAIN HOW TO OPT OUT.
2. What the App Does
The App is a record-keeping tool for independent contractors, gig workers, and other self-employed people in the United States. It lets you record work sessions, mileage, earnings, expenses, receipts, and tax documents such as 1099 forms; import records from spreadsheets and some platform statements; and, from the records you keep, produce reports, spreadsheets, a year-end tax package, self-prepared income statements, and informational tax estimates. Your records are stored on your device, as described in the Privacy Policy.
3. Not Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice; Estimates Only
The App is a record-keeping and informational tool. It is not a tax preparer, certified public accountant, enrolled agent, attorney, accountant, or financial advisor, and it does not prepare or file tax returns. Nothing in the App, or in anything it produces, is tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice, and using the App does not create any professional-client relationship with us.
Every tax figure the App shows is an informational estimate. This includes: estimated federal income tax, self-employment tax, and qualified business income figures; the amount it suggests setting aside, amounts left to pay, and per-week figures; estimated-tax due dates; the Schedule C preview and the way it groups your records into lines; state and local income tax figures; and the dollar value of your miles at published standard mileage rates. These estimates:
- are only as accurate and complete as the records and settings you enter;
- use simplified methods that leave out many things that can change what you owe, such as tax credits, itemized deductions, other income, depreciation, some additional taxes, some state-specific rules and surtaxes, and local taxes other than a rate you enter;
- rely on published federal and state figures that we collect from official sources, which may change, may not yet be final for a tax year, or may be entered in error; for some states the App uses prior-year figures or a rate you enter yourself; and
- are not a prediction or guarantee of the tax you will owe or the refund you will receive.
Whether an amount can be claimed on your return, and how any income or expense is treated, depends on your circumstances and on laws that change. The App does not decide this. Categories, Schedule C lines, and notes in the App are for organizing your records and are not a statement that any expense qualifies for any tax treatment.
You are solely responsible for your tax returns, estimated tax payments, and other filings, for their accuracy and timeliness, and for any tax, interest, or penalty you owe. Before you rely on any figure from the App, verify it with a qualified tax professional or the relevant tax agency.
4. Your Records and Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of everything you enter, import, or confirm in the App, and for keeping any original documents and records that the law requires you to keep. The App helps you organize records; it does not verify them.
Your records are stored only on your device. We have no copy of them and cannot recover them if your device is lost, damaged, or reset, if you delete the App or its data, or if the App's data becomes unreadable. You are responsible for making and keeping your own backups, for example with the App's backup and export features. Backup files do not include receipt and document images; keep those separately, for example in a tax package you export.
If you lock a tax year, the App blocks changes to that year's records until you unlock it. This is a convenience to prevent accidental edits, not a legal or archival record.
5. Imports, Statement Reading, and Receipt Scanning
When the App reads a receipt, tax form, spreadsheet, or platform statement, it suggests values from the text it finds, and you review and confirm them. Reading text from images and documents is imperfect: values may be missed, misread, or assigned to the wrong field, and platform statement formats can change without notice. The App can read only some platforms' statements. Check every suggested value against the original before you save it. Duplicate warnings are a convenience and may miss duplicates or flag records that are not duplicates.
6. Income Statements You Prepare
The App can produce a statement of your self-employment income built only from the records you keep, which you certify yourself. It is a self-prepared document. It is not verified, audited, or endorsed by us, by any gig platform, or by any government agency, and it is not a pay stub, an employer document, or proof of income. We make no representation that any landlord, lender, agency, or other person will accept it. You are solely responsible for the truth of any statement you certify and share; do not certify a statement you know or suspect to be inaccurate.
7. Mileage, GPS, and Safe Use While Driving
Mileage figures come from the odometer readings you enter or, if you turn on GPS mileage, from your device's location while a session is running. GPS distance can be inaccurate because of signal loss, device settings, or the App being closed. Odometer readings remain your primary mileage record, and you are responsible for keeping mileage records that meet the requirements that apply to you.
Do not enter information in, or otherwise handle, the App while driving. Start and stop sessions and enter records before you drive or when safely parked, and follow all laws on the use of mobile devices in vehicles. You are solely responsible for operating your vehicle safely and lawfully.
8. License
We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, install, and use the App on devices that you own or control, strictly in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the App Store you obtained it from. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted to you.
9. Restrictions
Except where the law does not allow the restriction, you agree not to, and not to let anyone else:
- copy, modify, translate, or make derivative works of the App;
- license, sell, rent, lease, assign, distribute, transmit, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the App, or make it available to any third party;
- disassemble, decompile, decrypt, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract the source code of any part of the App;
- remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice of the Company or its licensors;
- use the App to create false, misleading, or fraudulent records, income statements, or documents; or
- use the App in violation of any law or of these Terms.
10. Intellectual Property
The App and its entire contents, features, and functionality, including its software, text, calculations, displays, images, and design, and the selection and arrangement of them, are owned by the Company, its licensors, or other providers of that material, and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Except as these Terms expressly allow, you may not copy, modify, reproduce, or distribute any of it without our prior written permission. Your records, and the reports and documents you create from them, belong to you. Third-party names and marks shown in the App belong to their owners, and their appearance does not mean those companies endorse or are affiliated with the App.
11. Your Suggestions and Feedback
If you send us feedback, ideas, improvements, or suggestions about the App ("Suggestions"), for example by email, you agree that they are not confidential and that we may use, copy, modify, publish, and share them for any purpose, without credit or compensation to you. As between you and us, Suggestions become our property. This does not change how we handle personal information in your email, which the Privacy Policy covers.
12. Price, Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Refunds
The App is free to download from the Google Play Store and may also be offered on the Apple App Store (each, an "App Store"). Adding new records requires a LOGmyGIG subscription. In the United States it costs US$2.00 per month or US$20.00 per year; prices in other countries are shown in local currency, and the App Store shows the price that applies to you, including any tax, before you subscribe. Your purchase is made through, and processed by, that App Store under its own terms, and we never receive your payment card details.
Free trial. New subscribers may be offered a 7-day free trial, as the App Store decides eligibility. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged the price shown.
Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your App Store account settings (for Google Play: Play Store › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions), at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. If we change the price, the App Store will notify you as its rules require before the new price applies.
Without a subscription. If you do not subscribe, or your subscription or trial ends, you can still open, view, export, share, and delete every record you have already logged; only adding new records is paused until you subscribe again.
Refunds. Refunds are handled by the App Store under its refund policies, such as Google Play's refund policy; we cannot issue refunds directly. If you have a problem with the App, please contact us as described in Section 34 and we will try to help.
13. Modifications and Updates to the App
We may, from time to time, provide updates to the App, such as bug fixes, patches, enhancements, updated tax figures, and new versions ("Updates"). Updates may change or remove features. Tax figures are included for specific tax years; until a year's figures are added in an Update, the App shows that year's estimates as not available. We have no obligation to provide any Update, to add figures for any tax year or jurisdiction, to continue to provide or enable any particular feature, or to support any device or operating system version.
Some features described in the App or its store listing, such as cloud storage, may not yet be available; the App says so where that is the case. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, or any feature, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice and without liability to you. Updates are part of the App and are subject to these Terms.
14. Third-Party Services
The App relies on or opens services we do not operate, including Google ML Kit and Apple's Vision framework for reading document text, your device's share sheet and the apps you send files to, tax agency websites, the App Stores, and, if offered and you choose to connect them, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive ("Third-Party Services"). We are not responsible for Third-Party Services, including their availability, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, legality, or quality, and we have no liability to you or anyone else for them. You use them at your own risk and subject to their own terms and policies. The App is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any gig platform or tax agency.
15. Beta and Test Versions
Beta, test, or demonstration versions of the App may contain errors or sample data, may stop working after a set period, and are provided for evaluation only. Do not rely on them for your records.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL INFORMATION IN IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP'S TAX ESTIMATES, SCHEDULE C PREVIEW, STATE OR LOCAL TAX FIGURES, MILEAGE FIGURES OR VALUES, DUE DATES, TAX RATES, IMPORTED OR SCANNED VALUES, REPORTS, OR OTHER INFORMATION ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; THAT THE APP WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WORK WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE OR DEVICE, OR BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT YOUR RECORDS WILL NOT BE LOST OR CORRUPTED; THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE APP IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION FROM US CREATES A WARRANTY NOT STATED IN THESE TERMS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE ON THE APP OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, INCLUDING TAXES, INTEREST, PENALTIES, OR ADDITIONS TO TAX; UNDERPAYMENT OR OVERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX; MISSED DEADLINES; THE COST OF PREPARING OR AMENDING A RETURN; AUDITS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS BY A TAX AGENCY; THE REFUSAL OF ANY PERSON TO ACCEPT AN INCOME STATEMENT; LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF RECORDS OR DATA; LOST PAY, EARNINGS, PROFITS, OR CONTRACTS; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; FINES; OR DAMAGE TO ANY VEHICLE OR PROPERTY, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50). THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
18. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from any claims, demands, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the App, any record, return, or income statement you prepare, certify, file, or share, your violation of these Terms or of any law, or your violation of any right of a third party.
19. Time Limit for Claims
To the extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the App or these Terms must be started within one (1) year after it arises; otherwise, it is permanently barred.
20. Apple App Store
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and the Company only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and the Company, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
The Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or similar claims, and intellectual property infringement claims.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
21. Term and Termination
These Terms apply from when you first download, install, or use the App until they are terminated. You may end them at any time by deleting the App and all copies of it from your devices. We may suspend or end your license at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, and your license ends automatically, without notice, if you violate these Terms.
When these Terms end, you must stop using the App and delete all copies of it. Before you delete the App, export any records you want to keep; they are stored only on your device. Termination does not limit any of our rights or remedies for a breach that happened before it. Sections 3 through 6, 10, 11, 14, 16 through 20, and 25 through 34 survive termination.
22. Copyright Infringement Notice
If you are a copyright owner or an owner's agent and believe that material in the App infringes your copyright, please send a notice to the contact details in Section 34 that includes:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
(b) identification of the material you claim is infringing;
(c) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
(d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(e) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
23. Use Outside the United States
The App is designed for U.S. taxpayers and U.S. tax rules. If you use it elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local laws.
24. Changes to These Terms
We may modify or replace these Terms at any time. If we do, we will update the "Effective date" above, post the revised Terms at this page's address, and describe the change in the App's release notes. If a change is material, we will give you at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect; we decide in good faith what is material.
By continuing to use the App after revised Terms take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you are no longer authorized to use the App and should delete it.
25. Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to the App, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States, including the Federal Arbitration Act for Sections 26 through 29. Subject to those sections, any dispute that is not arbitrated will be decided only in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. This does not take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live.
26. Dispute Resolution: Notice and Informal Negotiation
"Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Company arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms, whether based in contract, warranty, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, given the broadest meaning the law allows.
Before starting arbitration or a court case, the party with a Dispute must send the other a written Notice of Dispute stating their name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. Send your notice by email to app.log@mygig.life. We will send ours to the contact information you have given us. You and we will try in good faith to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation for sixty (60) days after the notice is sent. After that, either party may start arbitration.
27. Binding Arbitration
If a Dispute is not resolved by informal negotiation, it will be resolved only by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules that apply to consumer disputes, which are available at adr.org. The arbitrator's fees and the parties' filing fees are allocated as those rules provide. The hearing may take place by video, by telephone, on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
Exceptions: either party may instead (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies there, and (b) ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.
28. Individual Claims Only; No Class Actions
YOU AND WE MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims and may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking it and only to the extent needed for that party's individual claim. If this section is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will be decided in court under Section 25, not in arbitration.
29. Opting Out of Arbitration
You may opt out of Sections 27 and 28 by emailing app.log@mygig.life within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms, with your name and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms, including Section 26. If you opt out, Disputes will be decided in court under Section 25.
30. Waiver
Our failure or delay in exercising or enforcing any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision, and a waiver of one breach is not a waiver of any other breach. Any waiver by us is effective only if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.
31. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be changed and interpreted to achieve its objectives to the greatest extent the law allows, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
32. Entire Agreement
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and the Company about the App, and they replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, on that subject. If these Terms conflict with an App Store's standard terms, these Terms govern to the extent that App Store's rules allow.
33. Miscellaneous
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent; we may assign them, including as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Because a breach of the license or restrictions in these Terms could cause harm that money cannot adequately remedy, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief, without posting a bond, where the law allows. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
