Terms of Service

Effective date: April 17, 2026 · Last updated: July 3, 2026

This is a placeholder based on standard SaaS ToS language. Final legal language will be reviewed by counsel before general rollout.

1. The service

Clearline Standards provides a proof-of-pickup record service for restaurants accepting third-party delivery orders: a timestamped, named record of who picked up each order. We provision a Google Sheet, a capture page, a counter-card PDF, and formatted proof-of-pickup evidence PDFs. Clearline documents pickups; it does not submit, pursue, or decide disputes, and it makes no representation about the outcome of any dispute.

2. Free trial and pricing

Paid accounts are one plan: $149/month, flat, all-in — one price, no tiers, no add-ons. The plan is the full proof-of-pickup record service: long-term retention, multi-location support, and pull-anytime export. Basic pickup logging remains available to any account regardless of paid status.

Accounts begin with a 14-day free trial. A payment card is collected at checkout; no charge is made during the trial, and the subscription bills $149/month automatically when the trial ends unless canceled first.

Founding Members — the first 100 signups — receive a permanent rate lock at $149/month: their rate does not increase for as long as their subscription remains active, regardless of future standard pricing. Any future pricing changes for non-Founding accounts follow our standard 30-day notice requirement.

Pickup records are retained for at least two years on free-trial accounts and seven years on paid accounts.

3. Acceptable use

You may use the service only for legitimate pickup documentation of orders placed at your restaurant. You may not submit photos that contain information unrelated to a pickup, abusive content, or content that violates another party’s rights.

4. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for: (a) informing staff and drivers that pickup photos are being captured, (b) training staff on the pickup flow, (c) submitting dispute evidence you receive from us via the platform’s own merchant portal — we do not submit disputes on your behalf.

5. No legal advice

The dispute-evidence package is a factual record produced from your own pickup log. It is not legal advice. Outcomes of disputes are determined by the delivery platform, not by Clearline Standards.

6. Data

Our handling of your data is governed by our Privacy Policy. You retain all rights to your individual pickup records. You grant Clearline Standards a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to compute, publish, and license to third parties aggregated, anonymized statistics derived from your pickup records — including but not limited to regional dispute rates, per-platform chargeback frequencies, cuisine-level anomaly patterns, and hashed cross-restaurant driver behavior patterns. No individual restaurant, driver, or customer is identified in any aggregated output.

7. Availability

We aim for high availability but do not warrant uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance and unforeseen outages may occur.

8. Termination

You may cancel at any time by emailing support@clearlinestandards.com. On cancellation, we retain records for 12 months and then delete or anonymize them per the Privacy Policy.

9. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clearline Standards’s aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in Stanislaus County, California.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes will be emailed to account contacts at least 14 days before taking effect.
