Terms of Service

Last updated October 4, 2026 · Operated by CODASC SOFTWARE PUBLISHING

These terms are a binding agreement between you and CODASC SOFTWARE PUBLISHING. By creating an account or using any Codasc app, you agree to them.

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Codasc website and the apps published under it (together, the “Service”), operated by CODASC SOFTWARE PUBLISHING(“Codasc”, “we”, “us”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy and Disclaimers, which are incorporated here by reference.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using it, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you give us is accurate.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.
• Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use.
• One person or entity per account, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break the law or infringe anyone’s rights while using the Service;
• attempt to access accounts, data or systems that are not yours;
• probe, scan, overload, disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service, or bypass its security or rate limits;
• scrape, resell or redistribute the Service or its content without permission;
• upload malware or unlawful, harmful or abusive content; or
• misrepresent your identity or use the Service to deceive others.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

5. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text and branding, is owned by Codasc and protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. The content and data you create remains yours; you grant us the limited licence needed to host, process and display it so we can provide the Service to you.

6. Apps, plans and payments

• Free apps (Workout and Bike Fit) are provided free of charge and may be changed, limited or discontinued at any time. BIR DAT and Outage Watch each have a free tier alongside their paid features.
• Everything paid is prepaid and nothing auto-renews. We do not store your card or keep a subscription running against it — you are never charged by surprise. When a pass expires or credits run out, access simply stops until you buy more.
• Time-limited passes (such as Outage Watch and BIR DAT paid tiers) give access to the paid features for the stated period. Access ends when the pass expires.
• Consumable credits (such as Outage Watch SMS credits and Codasc Assistant credits) are spent as you use the feature — one credit per SMS segment sent, or per unit of Assistant usage as described at purchase. Credits have no cash value, are not transferable between accounts, and cannot be exchanged for money.
• Trials. Where we offer a free trial, it is limited to one per person and we may use reasonable anti-abuse measures (including a lasting record of the messaging account that claimed it) to enforce that. We may withdraw a trial from anyone attempting to claim it repeatedly.
• Delivery beyond our control. SMS and Telegram delivery depends on mobile networks and third-party platforms. A credit is spent when we submit a message for delivery. We cannot guarantee, and do not refund for, messages that a carrier or platform delays, filters or drops after we have handed them over.
• Except where the law requires otherwise, fees already paid are non-refundable. Prices and features may change going forward; changes do not affect a pass or credits you have already bought.

Payments are processed by PayMongo on their own hosted checkout. Your card and e-wallet details never pass through our systems — see our Privacy Policy.

7. Terms for specific apps

BIR DAT

• You remain responsible for your filings. BIR DAT is a preparation tool. It does not file anything with the Bureau of Internal Revenue on your behalf, and it is not tax, accounting or legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing every figure and file it produces and for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of what you submit. We are not liable for penalties, surcharges, interest or assessments.
• Data about other people. When you enter employee or client records, that is personal data belonging to those individuals. You confirm you are entitled to process it and that you will meet your own obligations to them under the Data Privacy Act. Because this data stays on your device (and, if you enable backup, is encrypted before it reaches us), you — not Codasc — control it.
• Encrypted backup is unrecoverable by us. Backups are encrypted in your browser with a passphrase we never receive. If you lose it, the backup is permanently unreadable. We cannot reset, recover or bypass it, and we are not liable for data lost this way.

Studio Services (custom work)

• A quote is free and binds nobody. Sending us a request, and the quote we send back, commit neither side to anything. A quote holds for 30 days unless it says otherwise.
• Work starts on a downpayment of 20% of the quoted price, with a minimum of ₱1,000. It is credited against the price, not charged on top. The balance falls due as the quote sets out — on delivery for a small project, or per milestone for a larger one.
• The downpayment is non-refundable once work has started, because it pays for the slot we hold and the work already done. If we cannot take the project on, or we cancel before starting, we refund it in full.
• What you keep. The domain is registered in your name, the content and data are yours, and you can export your data at any time. The underlying code stays ours and is reused across projects, which is what keeps these prices low; you have the use of it for your project. If you want the code itself, say so before we start and we will quote for it. Logo design is different, as set out below.

Studio Services: logo design

The Studio Services terms above apply to logo work, together with these:

• The logo is yours once it is paid in full. All rights we hold in the final logo pass to you on full payment. Until then, they stay with us.
• Flat vector designs only. We design logos made of flat shapes: lettering, initials, icons, abstract marks, and simple mascots built from shapes. We do not design logos from photographs, realistic portraits or caricatures, painted, textured or 3D styles, or copies or close imitations of another brand. We may decline a request outside this scope, or offer a simplified flat version for your approval before work begins.
• Revisions. Your quote states how many revision rounds are included. A round is one list of changes sent at once; changes sent separately count as separate rounds. A different symbol or idea is a new concept, not a revision. Extra rounds and new concepts are charged as your quote sets out.
• Approval comes first. We make the animated logo, the social media kit and any presentation deck only after you approve the final logo in writing. Changing the logo after that approval is paid rework, because everything made from it has to be redone.
• If we do not hear from you. If you do not reply for 14 days after we send a version for your review, that version counts as approved and we deliver the final files.
• Trademarks are your responsibility. We do not search for or register trademarks. Checking that a logo is free to use and registering it is up to you.

Codasc Assistant

• Codasc Assistant generates responses using AI. Output can be incomplete or wrong, and you should not rely on it for decisions that matter without checking it yourself.
• Using it sends your messages and the relevant data from the app you are asking about to our AI provider. Using the Assistant is optional and every app works without it. Do not paste anything into it you would not want processed by a third party.

8. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties (for example sign-in, payments, messaging and analytics providers) and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any information it provides (including outage alerts, fitness estimates and bike-fit results) is accurate, complete or suitable for your circumstances. See our Disclaimers.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Codasc and CODASC SOFTWARE PUBLISHING will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) PHP 5,000. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Codasc and CODASC SOFTWARE PUBLISHING from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

12. Suspension & termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law) will survive.

13. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the competent courts of the Philippines have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify you. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the business. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimers, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
