Terms of Service

Last updated: July 31, 2026

The short version

A plain-language summary of what you're agreeing to. The numbered sections below are the actual agreement — where the two differ, the sections govern.

§2
What DLCWorker is
Cloud software your company subscribes to for scheduling, fleet, and HR. Nothing to install, and we host and maintain it.
§3
What it costs
A flat subscription for your whole organization — no per-driver fees. Monthly or annual, your choice, and the price is shown before you pay.
§3a
The free trial
30 days, no card required to start. If you never add a payment method, nothing is ever charged — paid features simply pause when the trial ends.
§11
How billing works
Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel any time from Settings → Billing, and you keep access through the period you've already paid for. Annual plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
§8
Who owns your data
You do. We don't sell it, and we never use your drivers' names, messages, schedules, or call recordings to train AI models. You can export it any time.
§5, §5a
Who else touches it
Only the providers that run the service — hosting, database, payments, email, SMS and phone, error monitoring, and the AI provider. They're all named in the Privacy Policy.
§13a
What we do with AI
AI features are optional and off until someone turns them on. They draft and summarize — they don't decide. Never use an AI output as the sole basis for discipline or any other employment decision.
§13b
What stays your responsibility
DLCWorker is a tool, not your employees' employer. Hiring, discipline, pay, wage-and-hour compliance, and any notices required for location tracking or call recording remain yours.
§6, §13, §15
If it goes wrong
We aim for 99.9% uptime but don't guarantee it outside an enterprise contract, and our liability is capped at what you paid us in the past 12 months. Disputes are handled under Hawaii law.
§12
Leaving
Cancel whenever you like. Your data stays available to export for 30 days after termination, then it's permanently deleted.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using DLCWorker ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms. The Service is a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform — you do not receive any downloadable software or on-premise license.

2. Description of Service

DLCWorker is a cloud-based workforce scheduling and management platform delivered as a subscription service. The Service includes tools for shift scheduling, time tracking, team communication, task management, and operational analytics. All features are accessed via web browser or mobile application and are hosted and maintained by DLCWorker. The Service is provided on a multi-tenant architecture where each organization's data is logically isolated from other organizations.

3. Subscription and Plans

The Service is offered under subscription plans that may include free, standard, and enterprise tiers. Each plan defines the features, usage limits, and number of users available to your organization.

  • Subscriptions are billed on a monthly or annual basis as selected at the time of purchase
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel — see Section 11 for renewal, billing-authorization and cancellation terms
  • You may upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time; changes take effect at the next billing cycle
  • Free plans may have feature restrictions and usage limits
  • We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers
  • All fees are exclusive of taxes, which will be added where applicable
  • Pilot, beta, and free-trial plans are provided AS-IS for evaluation purposes only, with no SLA, support commitments, or service-credit obligations; either party may terminate a pilot at any time with seven (7) days' notice

3a. Free Trial and Conversion to a Paid Subscription

New organizations begin with a free trial of 30 days. No payment method is required to start the trial. The following terms apply:

  • The trial runs for 30 days from the date your organization is created
  • If you add a payment method and do not cancel, your subscription begins automatically at the end of the trial and your payment method is charged the then-current price for the plan you selected. If no payment method is on file when the trial ends, the subscription does not start and access to paid features is suspended until you subscribe
  • We may send reminder emails to the account owner before the first charge as a courtesy. Reminders are not a condition of the charge — if you do not want to be charged, cancel before the trial ends
  • You may cancel at any time during the trial at no cost, from Settings → Billing or by contacting us. Cancelling during the trial means you are never charged
  • The free trial is offered once per organization. Organizations that previously held a paid or trial subscription — including accounts that cancelled and later re-subscribed — begin paid service immediately at checkout with no additional trial period

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. Each user account is for a single individual and may not be shared.

5. Organization Accounts and Multi-Tenancy

Organization owners and managers are responsible for managing their team members' access to the Service. They may invite, remove, and assign roles to team members within their organization. Each organization operates as an isolated tenant — your organization's data is logically separated from other organizations on the platform. Organization owners are the data controllers for their organization's data and are responsible for ensuring their use of the Service complies with applicable laws.

6. Service Availability and Support

We strive to maintain high availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Specifically:

  • We target 99.9% uptime but this is not a guaranteed SLA unless separately agreed in an enterprise contract
  • Scheduled maintenance windows will be communicated in advance when possible
  • We are not liable for downtime caused by factors outside our control (internet outages, third-party service failures, force majeure)
  • Support is provided via email. Enterprise plans may include priority support with defined response times

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or its systems; (c) interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; (d) transmit harmful code, malware, or malicious content; (e) impersonate another person or entity; (f) use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others; (g) exceed rate limits or abuse API access; (h) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service; (i) resell or redistribute access to the Service without authorization.

7a. SMS Communications & Consent

By providing your mobile phone number to DLCWorker — directly or via your organization's administrator — you consent to receive operational text messages from DLCWorker on behalf of your organization, which may include shift assignments and changes, check-in reminders, dispatch and rescue alerts, safety notifications, time-off responses, and account-security messages.

  • Message frequency varies based on your role and shift activity (drivers typically receive 2–10 messages per shift day; managers may receive more during incidents)
  • Message and data rates may apply depending on your wireless carrier and plan; DLCWorker does not charge for SMS
  • Opt out: reply STOP to any DLCWorker text message to unsubscribe from non-emergency SMS; reply HELP for help. SMS preferences can also be managed in Settings → Notifications
  • Opting out does not terminate your account, but you may miss time-sensitive operational messages; your organization may require an alternate channel (in-app push, email) for shift-critical communications
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages; DLCWorker does not guarantee delivery of any SMS

8. Data Ownership and Licensing

Your data remains yours. Specifically:

  • Your data: You retain full ownership of all data and content you submit to the Service ("Customer Data"). We do not claim ownership of your data
  • Our license: You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and display your data solely to provide and improve the Service
  • Aggregated data: We may use anonymized, aggregated data (that cannot identify you or your organization) to improve the Service, generate benchmarks, and develop features
  • No selling: We will never sell your data to third parties
  • No AI training on your data: Customer Data and personally identifiable information — including driver names, contact details, chat messages, schedules, time-punch records, recorded phone calls, and audio narration content — are not used to train any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, whether our own or third-party. AI features that process your data (in-app assistant, phone agent, audio narration, scorecard analysis) rely on third-party AI providers under contracts that prohibit those providers from training, fine-tuning, or improving their models using your data. Anonymized, aggregated metrics described above (e.g., feature-usage counts) are explicitly excluded from this prohibition because they cannot identify you or your organization.
  • Export: You may export your data at any time through the Service's built-in export features

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, branding, and documentation, is owned by DLCWorker and protected by intellectual property laws. Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service during your subscription term. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of any DLCWorker intellectual property to you.

10. White-Label and Custom Branding

Certain plans may allow organizations to customize the Service with their own branding (logo, name, colors). This customization is cosmetic and does not transfer ownership of the underlying Service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any branding assets you upload. DLCWorker remains the provider of the underlying technology.

11. Payment, Automatic Renewal and Cancellation

Automatic renewal. Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period — monthly plans renew every month, annual plans renew every twelve months — and continues to renew until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize DLCWorker and its payment processor to charge your payment method the then-current subscription price, plus applicable taxes, on a recurring basis at the start of each billing period, without further authorization from you, until you cancel.

How to cancel. You may cancel at any time, without fee or penalty, from Settings → Billing in your account ("Manage subscription"), or by emailing support@dlcworker.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period that is already paid for — your access continues until then, and you are not charged again. Except as stated below, we do not provide refunds for the unused remainder of a billing period.

30-day money-back guarantee (annual plans). If you cancel an annual plan within 30 days of the start of that annual term, we will refund that term's payment in full and your access ends immediately. This guarantee applies once per annual term and does not apply to monthly plans.

Renewal notice. For annual plans, we send the account owner an email reminder before the renewal date stating the renewal date, the amount that will be charged, and how to cancel, where required by applicable law and otherwise as a courtesy. Renewal takes effect under this Section whether or not a reminder is received; keeping a current owner email address is your responsibility. For price changes, Section 3 applies: we give at least 30 days' notice before a change takes effect, and you may cancel before it does.

  • Payment is due at the beginning of each billing period
  • We use third-party payment processors; your card details are handled by the processor and are never stored on our servers
  • Failed payments may result in service suspension after a grace period; we will attempt to notify the account owner before suspending
  • Apart from the 30-day money-back guarantee above, refunds are provided only as required by applicable law or at our discretion
  • Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for all applicable taxes related to your use of the Service
  • Subscriptions purchased through a mobile app store, where offered, are governed by that store's billing and cancellation rules in addition to these terms

12. Termination and Data Portability

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time.

  • You may cancel your subscription through your account settings or by contacting us
  • We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms, with notice where practicable
  • Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately
  • We will make your data available for export for 30 days following termination
  • After the 30-day period, your data will be permanently deleted from our systems
  • Data required for legal or compliance purposes may be retained longer as required by law

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DLCWorker's total liability arising from or related to your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to DLCWorker in the 12 months preceding the claim. DLCWorker shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.

13a. AI Outputs Disclaimer

The Service includes optional AI-powered features such as the chat assistant, automated write-up drafter, AI phone agent, scorecard analysis, and report summaries. AI outputs are generated by third-party large language models and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. AI outputs are a drafting aid for human review and must not be used as the sole basis for any employment decision — including discipline, termination, performance review, promotion, hiring, scheduling discipline, or pay change — or any other decision with legal, financial, or safety consequences. Your organization is responsible for human review of all AI outputs before relying on them. DLCWorker disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose of any AI-generated content.

13b. Employer Responsibilities & Tool Disclaimer

DLCWorker is software. DLCWorker is not the employer of your organization's personnel and does not exercise any employment authority. Your organization remains solely responsible for: (a) all employment relationships and decisions (hiring, scheduling, discipline, termination, compensation, classification as employee vs. contractor); (b) compliance with all applicable employment, labor, and workplace-safety laws — including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), state and local wage-and-hour laws, and any applicable collective bargaining agreements; (c) all notices, postings, and consent collection required for workplace monitoring, location tracking, and call recording under federal, state, or local law; (d) the accuracy and lawful basis for all data submitted to the Service. Your organization agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold DLCWorker harmless from any third-party claim arising from your employment practices or your use of the Service to manage personnel.

13c. Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DLCWORKER DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service will meet your requirements. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of scheduling, timekeeping, payroll-related, and compliance data before relying on it. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DLCWorker and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) content you submit to the Service.

15. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Honolulu County, Hawaii for any action arising from these terms or the Service, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Both parties waive any right to a jury trial. Each party may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. Disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved within 30 days, may proceed to litigation or, by mutual written agreement, binding arbitration.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days in advance via email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may cancel your subscription before they take effect.

17. General

  • Entire agreement: These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any order form or written agreement signed by both parties, are the entire agreement between you and DLCWorker regarding the Service and supersede all prior discussions and proposals. Where a signed agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement controls
  • Severability: If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force
  • Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later
  • Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these terms without our prior written consent, except to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of your assets. We may assign these terms to an affiliate or successor
  • Force majeure: Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action, internet or telecommunications failures, and failures of third-party infrastructure providers
  • Notices: We send legal notices to the account owner's email address on file; you are responsible for keeping it current. You send notices to us at the address in Section 18
  • Survival: Sections 8, 9, 11, 13, 13a, 13b, 13c, 14, 15 and 17 survive termination of these terms
  • No third-party beneficiaries: These terms create no rights for anyone other than you and DLCWorker
  • Feedback: If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free right to use it without obligation or compensation to you
