Terms of Service

Last updated: 16 July 2026

Effective date: 16 July 2026

1. About these Terms

These Terms govern access to and use of Invoice Pilot.

Invoice Pilot is operated by Andrew Richardson, sole trader, trading as Invoice Pilot.

Business address: 300 Stockport Road, Timperley, Altrincham, WA15 7XS
Company number: Not applicable (sole trader)
Support: support@invoicepilot.co.uk

By creating an account, selecting a paid plan or using the Service, the customer agrees to these Terms and the Data Processing Agreement.

2. Business use only

Invoice Pilot is supplied only for use in connection with a trade, business, craft, profession, childcare setting, educational service or activity-provider operation.

By accepting these Terms, you confirm that:

  • you are acting for business purposes;
  • you are at least 18 years old;
  • you have authority to bind the customer organisation or business;
  • the information supplied during registration is accurate.

The Service is not intended for personal, household or consumer use.

3. Definitions

Authorised User: a person permitted by the Customer to use its account.

Customer: the business or organisation accepting these Terms.

Customer Data: information submitted, uploaded, generated or stored through the Service on the Customer’s behalf.

Service: the Invoice Pilot website, application, software, features, communications and related services.

Subscription: a paid right to access specified Service features for a recurring period.

4. The Service

Invoice Pilot may provide features including:

  • children and parent record management;
  • calendars, sessions and attendance;
  • automatic invoice generation;
  • invoice PDFs, reminders and payment tracking;
  • card payments or customer-configured payment links;
  • funded-hours calculations;
  • expenses, receipt storage and profit reports;
  • documents and electronic-signing workflows;
  • read-only management views;
  • data exports and backups.

Features depend on the plan selected and may be improved, replaced or discontinued. We will not materially reduce the core functionality of a paid plan during a current paid subscription without reasonable notice, except where necessary for security, law or third-party service changes.

5. Accounts and security

The Customer must:

  • provide accurate account information;
  • keep login details confidential;
  • use strong passwords;
  • restrict access to authorised personnel;
  • promptly remove access from people who no longer require it;
  • notify us immediately of suspected compromise or misuse.

The Customer is responsible for activity carried out through its account, except to the extent caused by Invoice Pilot’s breach of these Terms.

Accounts may not be shared between unrelated businesses.

6. Customer responsibilities

The Customer is responsible for:

  • deciding what Customer Data to collect and why;
  • having a lawful basis for processing personal data;
  • meeting any additional requirements for health or other special-category data;
  • providing required privacy notices;
  • ensuring that it has authority to upload and use documents;
  • maintaining accurate child, parent, session, funded-hours, invoice and payment information;
  • checking invoices, reports and calculations before relying on or sending them;
  • determining whether an electronic-signing workflow is suitable for a particular document;
  • complying with childcare, education, safeguarding, tax, accounting and record-retention obligations applying to its business;
  • responding to parents, guardians and other data subjects;
  • keeping appropriate independent copies or exports of legally important records.

Invoice Pilot does not provide legal, accounting, tax, safeguarding or regulatory advice.

7. Acceptable use

The Customer must not:

  • use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently or to cause harm;
  • upload material it has no right to use;
  • upload malicious code;
  • attempt to bypass security or access another customer’s information;
  • probe, scan or test vulnerabilities without written permission;
  • reverse engineer the Service except where the law expressly permits;
  • resell, sublicense or provide the Service to an unrelated third party without permission;
  • use the Service to send spam or unlawful direct marketing;
  • upload excessive, irrelevant or unlawfully obtained sensitive information;
  • use the Service to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about children.

We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the Service, users, data or third parties.

8. Customer Data and ownership

The Customer retains ownership of Customer Data.

The Customer grants Invoice Pilot a limited, non-exclusive right to host, copy, transmit, display, modify for technical formatting, back up and otherwise process Customer Data only as necessary to provide, secure and support the Service.

Invoice Pilot retains ownership of the Service, software, design, branding, documentation and intellectual property.

Feedback may be used to improve the Service, provided it does not identify the Customer or disclose Customer Data without permission.

9. Data protection

The parties will comply with applicable data-protection law.

For Customer Data:

  • the Customer normally acts as controller;
  • Invoice Pilot acts as processor;
  • the Data Processing Agreement forms part of these Terms.

The Customer authorises the sub-processors listed in the published sub-processor list, subject to the notification and objection process in the Data Processing Agreement.

10. Electronic signing and documents

The document feature may allow a recipient to view a document, enter information and record an electronic confirmation or signature.

The Customer is responsible for deciding:

  • whether the feature is legally suitable for the document;
  • what wording, consent and evidence are required;
  • how long the completed record must be retained;
  • whether independent identity verification or witnessing is required.

Invoice Pilot does not warrant that every document completed through the Service will be enforceable for every purpose.

11. Invoices, reports and funded hours

Invoice Pilot may generate calculations using Customer Data.

The Customer must review outputs before using them. Invoice Pilot is not responsible for errors caused by inaccurate, incomplete or outdated Customer Data, including session rates, attendance, funded hours, discounts, tax treatment or payment status.

Reports are management tools and are not a substitute for professional accounting or tax advice.

12. Third-party payments and links

Payment features may rely on Stripe or other third-party services.

Where the Customer adds its own bank details or payment link:

  • the Customer is responsible for its accuracy, security and continued availability;
  • the third-party provider’s terms apply;
  • Invoice Pilot is not responsible for the third party’s service, charges, disputes or downtime.

Invoice Pilot does not hold or control money paid directly to the Customer unless expressly stated.

13. Plans, fees and taxes

Current plans, features and prices are displayed on the pricing or checkout page.

Unless stated otherwise:

  • paid subscriptions are charged in advance;
  • subscriptions automatically renew for the same billing period until cancelled;
  • fees are exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes unless expressly stated;
  • the Customer authorises the payment provider to collect recurring charges;
  • plan upgrades may take effect immediately;
  • plan downgrades normally take effect at the next renewal.

We may change future prices by giving reasonable advance notice. A price change will not retrospectively alter a period already paid for.

14. Trials and free plans

A free plan or trial may be offered subject to usage and feature limits.

We may change or withdraw a free plan on reasonable notice. We may limit repeated trials or free accounts used to avoid payment.

Unless the Customer selects a paid plan, access to paid features may stop at the end of a trial.

15. Cancellation and refunds

The Customer may cancel renewal through the account or by contacting support@invoicepilot.co.uk.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period unless we state otherwise.

Fees already paid are generally non-refundable, except where:

  • required by law;
  • Invoice Pilot has charged the Customer incorrectly;
  • we agree otherwise in writing.

If we permanently discontinue a paid Service without providing a reasonable alternative, we will refund the unused prepaid portion.

16. Late or failed payment

If payment fails or is overdue, we may:

  • retry payment;
  • contact the Customer;
  • restrict paid features;
  • suspend the account after reasonable notice.

The Customer remains responsible for outstanding fees.

17. Availability, maintenance and changes

We aim to provide a reliable Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

Access may be affected by:

  • planned maintenance;
  • urgent security work;
  • internet or device problems;
  • third-party hosting, database, email or payment services;
  • events outside our reasonable control.

We may deploy updates and security fixes without advance notice. For planned work likely to cause material disruption, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice.

18. Support

Support is available through support@invoicepilot.co.uk and any in-app support channel.

Response times are targets, not guaranteed service levels, unless a separate written service-level agreement applies.

19. Suspension

We may suspend some or all access where reasonably necessary because:

  • fees are overdue;
  • the account creates a security or legal risk;
  • the Customer materially breaches these Terms;
  • continued access could harm another person, the Service or a supplier;
  • we are required to do so by law.

Where practical, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to remedy the issue.

20. Termination

Either party may terminate:

  • by cancelling a subscription in accordance with these Terms;
  • immediately for an irremediable material breach;
  • after written notice if a remediable material breach is not corrected within 14 days;
  • where the other party becomes insolvent, subject to applicable law.

On termination:

  • the right to use the Service ends;
  • unpaid charges remain due;
  • the Customer should export required records within 30 days;
  • Customer Data will be handled under the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement;
  • clauses intended to continue will survive, including confidentiality, intellectual property, payment, liability and data-protection provisions.

21. Confidentiality

Each party must protect confidential information received from the other and use it only for the relationship under these Terms.

This does not apply to information that:

  • is public through no breach;
  • was lawfully known already;
  • is received lawfully from another source;
  • is independently developed;
  • must be disclosed by law.

22. Warranties

We warrant that we will provide the Service with reasonable care and skill.

Except as expressly stated and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without other warranties, including any promise that it will meet every Customer requirement or produce legally, financially or regulatorily compliant results without Customer review.

23. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • breach of obligations that cannot legally be excluded;
  • any other liability that the law does not permit us to limit.

Subject to that:

  • neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss;
  • neither party is liable for lost profits, lost revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill or business interruption, except where such loss is a direct and reasonably foreseeable result that cannot lawfully be excluded;
  • Invoice Pilot is not liable for loss caused by inaccurate Customer Data, Customer misuse, unsupported third-party links, or a Customer’s failure to maintain required records;
  • Invoice Pilot’s total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service in any rolling 12-month period will not exceed the greater of £100 and the fees paid or payable by the Customer to Invoice Pilot in that period.

This liability clause has not yet been independently reviewed by a UK solicitor. Review for suitability to this business, its insurance position and its customer type is planned before this is treated as final.

24. Indemnity

The Customer will reimburse Invoice Pilot for reasonable losses, liabilities and costs resulting from a third-party claim caused by:

  • unlawful Customer Data;
  • the Customer’s infringement of third-party rights;
  • the Customer’s material breach of the Acceptable Use section;
  • the Customer’s failure to have a lawful basis or required authority for Customer Data,

except to the extent the claim was caused by Invoice Pilot’s breach, negligence or unlawful act.

25. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for legal, security, supplier or Service changes.

Material changes will be notified through the Service or by email. Unless a change is required urgently, it will take effect no earlier than 30 days after notice for existing paid customers.

Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If a material change substantially disadvantages the Customer, the Customer may cancel before it takes effect.

26. Assignment

The Customer may not transfer these Terms without our written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

We may transfer these Terms as part of a genuine merger, restructuring, financing or sale of the business, provided the transfer does not materially reduce the Customer’s rights.

27. Force majeure

Neither party is responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, except payment obligations already due.

28. Notices

Legal notices to Invoice Pilot must be sent to support@invoicepilot.co.uk and 300 Stockport Road, Timperley, Altrincham, WA15 7XS.

We may send notices to the email address registered to the Customer account.

29. Entire agreement

These Terms, the Data Processing Agreement, the Privacy Policy and any order or checkout confirmation form the agreement relating to the Service.

30. Governing law and courts

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing or mandatory law requires otherwise.
