Acceptance of Terms

By using the App you agree to these Terms in full. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Tablit. If you are using the App on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person or entity to these Terms.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use Tablit. By using the App you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
• You have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
• You are not prohibited from using the App under applicable law.
• All information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

Accuracy of Calculations — Critical Disclaimer

Tablit uses artificial intelligence and optical character recognition (OCR) technology to read receipts and calculate individual shares. This technology is inherently imperfect. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• Tablit makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee that any bill split, calculation, total, tax amount, tip computation, subtotal, or any other numerical output produced by the App is accurate or correct.
• Receipts may be misread due to poor image quality, unusual formatting, handwriting, faded text, unusual characters, or other factors beyond our control.
• Tax calculations are estimates only and may not reflect the correct applicable tax rate for your jurisdiction, establishment, or item type.
• Tip calculations are estimates based on user input and are not verified against actual restaurant or venue policies.
• Rounding of amounts may occur and Tablit is not liable for any discrepancy arising from such rounding.
• It is your sole responsibility to verify all calculated amounts against the original physical receipt before making or requesting any payment.
• Tablit accepts no liability whatsoever for any financial loss, overpayment, underpayment, dispute, or damage arising directly or indirectly from any incorrect calculation or misread receipt.
• Any dispute regarding bill amounts is strictly between the users involved and/or the relevant establishment. Tablit is not a party to such disputes.

Payments and Financial Transactions

Tablit facilitates but does not process payments directly. Payments are processed through third-party payment providers. By initiating a payment through the App you further agree that:

• Tablit does not store your card details, banking credentials, or sensitive financial information on its own servers.
• Payment processing is subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the relevant third-party payment provider.
• Tablit is not responsible for failed transactions, declined payments, processing errors, or delays caused by payment providers, banks, or network issues.
• Once a payment is initiated and confirmed, Tablit has no obligation or ability to reverse, refund, or cancel the transaction. Any refund requests must be directed to the relevant payment provider or establishment.
• Tablit is not responsible for incorrect payment amounts that result from inaccurate bill splits that you have not verified.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring the correct amount is paid. Tablit accepts no liability for overpayments or underpayments.

User Accounts and Security

When you create an account with Tablit, you are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
• All activity that occurs under your account.
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.
• Ensuring your account information is accurate and up to date at all times.

Tablit reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if your account poses a risk to other users or the platform.

Intellectual Property

All content, design, trademarks, logos, software, and technology comprising the Tablit App are the exclusive property of Tablit or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. This licence does not include the right to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of the App.

User-Generated Content

By uploading receipts, images, or other content to the App, you grant Tablit a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, process, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the App's services.

You warrant that you have the right to upload the content and that it does not infringe any third-party rights. Tablit reserves the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Third-Party Services

Tablit integrates with third-party services including payment processors, AI providers, and cloud infrastructure providers. These services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Tablit is not responsible for the performance, availability, or conduct of any third-party service.

Links or integrations with third-party platforms do not constitute endorsement by Tablit of those platforms or their services.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, or non-infringement.

Tablit does not warrant that:

• The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
• Any calculations, splits, or outputs will be accurate or suitable for any purpose.
• The App will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
• Any errors in the App will be corrected within any specific timeframe.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Tablit and its owners, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any:

• Direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.
• Financial loss resulting from incorrect bill calculations, misread receipts, or erroneous payment amounts.
• Unauthorised access to or alteration of your data.
• Any other losses arising from your use of or inability to use the App.

In jurisdictions where limitation of liability for certain damages is not permitted, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. In no event shall Tablit's total liability to you exceed the amount you paid to use the App in the three months preceding the claim, or R500 (five hundred rand), whichever is less.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tablit and its owners, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of or access to the App.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
• Any content you upload to the App.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Pretoria, South Africa, in accordance with the rules of the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA), unless you elect to pursue the matter in a court of competent jurisdiction in South Africa.

Termination

Tablit reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause or prior notice. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification — shall survive.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tablit with respect to your use of the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or representations.
