Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Gold Life LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Gold Life,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your use of the My Business iOS app and its content and services (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to the Apple App Store Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple Standard EULA”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Who can use the App
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live. If you use the App on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.
2. License
Subject to these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (including any use by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing). You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App, and you may not reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
3. Free tier and My Business Pro subscription
- Free to start. The App is free to download and use within these limits: 10 customers, 2 employees, 2 subcontractors, and 15 each of estimates, invoices, jobs, and receipts. Anything you have already created always stays viewable and exportable, even without a subscription.
- My Business Pro. A My Business Pro subscription removes those limits for unlimited use. It is offered at $12.99 per month or $89.99 per year, or the price shown to you at the time of purchase (prices may vary by region and may change over time).
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically for the same period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Managing your subscription. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Payments and refunds.All payments and any refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms. We do not process payments or issue refunds directly.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Changes apply to future renewals and, where required, take effect only after notice to you and, where Apple requires it, your consent.
4. Card payments (Stripe)
The App includes an optional feature that lets your customers pay your invoices by card through Stripe, Inc.(“Stripe”). It is off until you connect a Stripe account.
- Stripe is the payment processor, not Gold Life.You connect and use your own Stripe account, and card payments are processed by Stripe under your agreement with Stripe and Stripe’s terms and privacy policy. Gold Life is not a party to, and does not process, hold, or disburse, any payment between you and your customer.
- Fees.Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply and are charged by Stripe. Gold Life charges no additional fee for this feature.
- Your responsibility.You are responsible for your Stripe account and for meeting Stripe’s requirements, for the accuracy of every invoice and amount you charge, for any taxes on the payments you receive, and for handling refunds, disputes, and chargebacks with your customer and Stripe.
- Availability.Card payments depend on Stripe supporting your business and country and on Stripe’s continued service; the feature may be unavailable, change, or be discontinued. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gold Life is not liable for Stripe’s acts or omissions, outages, fees, holds, or payout timing, or for any payment that fails or is delayed, reversed, or disputed.
5. Your data and backups
Your data is stored in your own iCloud, under your Apple ID, as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining your Apple device, Apple ID, and iCloud, and for keeping your own backups. We have no access to your data and cannot recover it for you. Deleting the App, signing out of iCloud, or deleting the app’s iCloud data may permanently remove your information.
6. The App is a tool, not professional advice
Important. The App helps you create estimates, invoices, receipts, payroll figures, and tax forms (such as IRS Form 1099-NEC) from information you enter. It is a productivity tool only. It does not provide accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice. You are solely responsible for the information you enter, for reviewing and verifying every calculation and document the App produces, and for complying with all applicable tax, employment, and business laws. Consult a qualified professional before relying on any document for legal, tax, or financial purposes.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App lawfully, and not to use it to violate any law or anyone’s rights, to infringe intellectual property, or to interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or any related systems.
8. Intellectual property
The App and its design and logos, and the names “My Business,” “Evolved by GL,” and “Gold Life,” are owned by Gold Life LLC and protected by U.S. and international law. These Terms grant you no right to use our trademarks. The business data and content you enter remain yours.
9. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOLD LIFE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any calculation or document it produces is accurate, complete, or suitable for your purpose. You use the App at your own risk.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOLD LIFE LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP THROUGH APPLE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so these may not fully apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gold Life LLC from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms or any law, or the documents and data you create with the App.
12. Apple-specific terms
These Terms are between you and Gold Life LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). The following apply to your use of the App obtained through the Apple App Store:
- Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Gold Life LLC — not Apple — is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App, and Apple has no obligation to do so. Direct any questions, support requests, or complaints about the App to us at support@softwarebygl.com.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund any purchase price you paid for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, claims under consumer-protection or similar law, and claims that the App infringes a third party’s intellectual-property rights. If any third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual-property rights, Gold Life LLC — not Apple — will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
- 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 listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you.
13. Termination
Your license ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will survive.
14. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@softwarebygl.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. If it is not resolved, you and Gold Life agree to resolve any claim through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, held in Leon County, Florida or conducted remotely. Either party may still bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual-property rights. You and Gold Life agree that each may bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to the email above within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will reflect any change, and for material changes we will provide reasonable notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
16. General
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Gold Life LLC regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may.
