The terms, in plain words.

1. Who we are

Quarter Past is made and sold by SeeForth Services Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 09793300, registered office 3rd Floor, 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. Email hello@quarterpast.app.

2. The trial

You may download Quarter Past and use it free for fourteen days from first launch, with no card and no account. When the trial ends the app stops recording new time. It does not stop you reading, editing, analysing or exporting what you recorded, ever.

3. The licence

When you buy a licence we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Quarter Past:

• On one Mac at a time. You can move it: remove the licence from one Mac and activate it on another, as often as you like.
• For any purpose, personal or commercial, for as long as you like. The licence does not expire.
• Not to be shared. One licence is for one person. Do not publish your key or give it to others. A licence used on more than one Mac at once, or shared, may be deactivated.

You may not sell, rent or sublicense the app or its licence keys, remove the notices in it, or try to defeat the licence check. You may look at how it works as far as the law allows.

4. Price and payment

The price is shown on quarterpast.app in pounds sterling and includes VAT where it applies. Licences are sold through a payment provider acting as merchant of record, named at checkout, which handles the payment, tax and the issue of your licence key by email. The provider's terms apply to the payment; these terms apply to the licence.

5. Refunds

Fourteen days, full refund, no reason needed, as set out in our refund policy. Nothing there or here limits your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

6. Updates

Updates are included in the price and arrive inside the app. We intend to keep improving Quarter Past for a long time, but we cannot promise any particular update, feature or timetable. If we ever stop updating it, your licence and the version you have keep working, and your data remains yours.

7. Your data

Everything you record is stored on your Mac and belongs to you. We have no copy. Back it up: the app's Settings can write a backup file, and losing your Mac without one loses the record. What the app does and does not transmit is set out in the privacy policy.

8. What we promise, and what we do not

We promise that Quarter Past will be as described on this site, of satisfactory quality and fit for its purpose, which is recording and analysing your own time. If it is not, tell us and we will put it right or refund you.

Beyond that, and as far as the law allows, the app is provided as it is. We are not liable for loss of data you did not back up, for losses that were not a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms, or for business losses such as lost profits or contracts. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

Quarter Past records what you tell it. It is not a substitute for any record you are legally or professionally required to keep in a particular form, and you remain responsible for what you bill and what you report.

9. Third-party services

If you paste the app's Copy for AI output into another service, that service's terms and privacy policy govern what happens to it. We are not responsible for third-party services.

10. Ending these terms

You can stop using Quarter Past at any time by deleting it. We may deactivate a licence that is being shared or used in breach of section 3, after telling you why. Your right to your own data survives anything in these terms.

11. Changes

If we change these terms we will publish the new version here with a new date. Changes do not take away rights you already have under a licence you have already bought.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom you may also bring proceedings in your own courts, and nothing here removes consumer protections you are entitled to where you live.
