By downloading, installing, or using the WorkBuddy mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
WorkBuddy provides a platform that enables users to organize, trade, and manage work shifts ("Service").
2.1 Non-Affiliation Disclaimer: WorkBuddy is an independent third-party tool designed for personal use by employees. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any specific employer, union, government agency, sheriff's department, fire department, or hospital. Use of this App does not constitute an official communication channel with your employer, and data stored in the App does not constitute an official employment record.
WE ARE NOT AN EMPLOYER. WorkBuddy is strictly a communication tool. We are not a party to any agreement between users. We do not control the behavior of users, nor do we assume responsibility for the accuracy of shift information or the actual fulfillment of shifts.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
Certain features of the Service may require a paid subscription ("Premium").
You agree not to use the Service to:
6.1 User Responsibility: You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for ensuring that any shift trades, pickups, or giveaways arranged through the Service comply with your employer's policies and all applicable labor laws, including but not limited to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state-specific overtime regulations.
6.2 No Overtime Enforcement: WorkBuddy does not track your total working hours for payroll purposes and does not enforce overtime limits. It is your responsibility (and that of your employer) to track hours and ensure compliance with maximum work hour restrictions and overtime pay requirements. WorkBuddy expressly disclaims any liability for unpaid overtime, missed breaks, or labor law violations resulting from voluntary shift trading.
6.3 Not an Official Record: The shift schedule and trade history displayed in the App are for your convenience only and should not be relied upon as an official record of hours worked. Always verify your schedule and hours with your employer's official timekeeping system.
7.1 Tax Compliance: You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your applicable tax obligations, including reporting and remitting any taxes, duties, or other governmental assessments deemed applicable to any income, bonuses, or financial incentives received through the use of the App.
7.2 No Withholding: WorkBuddy does not act as an employer or payment processor for wages. We do not withhold any federal, state, or local income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, or unemployment taxes from any funds exchanged or benefits received. You are responsible for paying all such taxes.
7.3 No Financial Advice: The App is a platform for communication and scheduling. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. You should consult with your own tax or legal advisor regarding specific situations.
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of WorkBuddy and its licensors.
