These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Obstin Technologies ("Obstin," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of the Tinds websites (tinds.co and obstin.co), the Tinds web application, the Tinds progressive web app, and all related features, content and services (together, the "Services"). By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or using the Services, you accept these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company, and "you" means that company.
Tinds is a scheduling, call sheet and timekeeping tool for companies that run crews. There are three kinds of users:
If you are a crew member, your relationship with the company that added you (your employer or the staffing company that books you) is governed by that company's own policies, not by Obstin. Obstin does not employ you, set your hours, or determine your pay. Questions about your schedule, hours or wages go to that company.
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create a Customer account. Crew members must be at least 16 or the minimum lawful working age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials, including any time clock PIN, confidential, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@obstin.co if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. Customers are responsible for the actions of every administrator, manager and crew member in their workspace, and for removing access when someone leaves.
Information you give us must be accurate and kept current. We may suspend or refuse accounts that appear to be fraudulent, duplicated, or created with false information.
Subject to these Terms, Obstin grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes (for Customers) or in connection with your work for a Customer (for crew members). The Services are provided as a hosted service; no software is sold to you, and installing the Tinds progressive web app on a device gives you no rights beyond those in these Terms.
We may add, change or retire features from time to time. Features that are labeled as add-ons, beta, early access or preview may be offered with reduced or no warranty, may change without notice, and may be discontinued.
Tinds is priced per company, not per seat. Current plans and any add-on pricing are listed at tinds.co/pricing or in an order form we provide. Unless an order form says otherwise:
Free trials, demo workspaces and promotional pricing are offered at our discretion and may be withdrawn at any time.
"Customer Data" means all information a Customer, its administrators or its crew members submit to or generate in a Tinds workspace, including crew rosters, contact details, pay rates, schedules, availability, time punches, breaks, time-off records, notes, documents and any company logo or branding.
As between you and Obstin, the Customer owns its Customer Data. The Customer grants Obstin a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit and display Customer Data solely to provide, maintain, secure and improve the Services, to provide support, and as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy. We do not sell Customer Data and we do not use it to train artificial intelligence models.
The Customer is responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of its Customer Data and for obtaining any consents required to collect it from crew members. We may remove or refuse Customer Data that violates these Terms or the law.
Customers can export their data from the app at any time. After a subscription ends we retain Customer Data for 90 days so that it can be exported or the subscription reinstated, after which we may delete it. See the Privacy Policy for retention details.
Tinds records time and produces timesheets and reports. It is a tool, not a compliance service. The Customer alone is responsible for:
Nothing in the Services is legal, tax, accounting or human resources advice.
You agree not to, and not to allow anyone else to:
The Services, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, the Tinds name and mark, and all improvements, are owned by Obstin Technologies or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. A Customer's own name, logo and branding uploaded for white-label display remain the Customer's property.
If you believe content in the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to hello@obstin.co with the subject "Copyright notice" that identifies the work, the material you believe is infringing and where it is located, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature.
If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback about the Services, you grant Obstin a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without obligation to you.
The Services are hosted on and rely on third-party providers (for example, Supabase for the database and authentication, Netlify for web hosting, and Cloudflare for DNS and email routing). The Services may also link to or integrate with third-party products such as payroll or accounting software. Those products are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Obstin is not responsible for third-party products and does not warrant their availability or accuracy.
These Terms apply from the moment you first use the Services and continue until your account is closed. A Customer may close its workspace at any time from the app or by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate access, with notice where practicable, if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, create risk or legal exposure for Obstin, or if we discontinue the Services. On termination your right to use the Services ends immediately. Sections 5, 8, 9, and 12 through 17 survive termination.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OBSTIN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT TIME RECORDS OR CALCULATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT FOR ANY LEGAL PURPOSE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON IT.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OBSTIN AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR WAGES, PENALTIES, FINES OR SETTLEMENTS ARISING FROM YOUR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OBSTIN'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO OBSTIN IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Obstin and its officers, directors, employees and contractors from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your Customer Data, your use of the Services, your employment or contracting practices, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at hello@obstin.co and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREES THAT CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Any claim must be filed within one year after it arises or it is permanently barred.
We may update these Terms. When we do, we will post the revised Terms with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify Customers by email or in the app at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Services and close your account before the new Terms take effect.
These Terms, any order form, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Obstin regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements. If an order form conflicts with these Terms, the order form controls for that Customer. If any provision is found unenforceable it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Notices to Obstin must be sent to the address in Section 18; notices to you may be sent to the email address on your account. The parties are independent contractors. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
