The fine print, large.

1 · What you're buying (the license)

Your one-time payment buys a perpetual license to run one installation of ShiftWall for one business, delivered as a release you install on hosting you control — the guide walks it in plain steps, and I install it for you on request. "Perpetual" means what it says: it keeps working whether or not you ever pay me again.

• You may use it for your business, with as many employees, managers and schedules as you like. No per-seat fees exist.
• You may have it moved to new hosting, back it up, and modify your copy for your own use.
• You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or publish the software or its source code, or offer it to other businesses as a service. One license, one business.
• A second business or location wants it? That's a second license. Email me; multi-location pricing is a conversation, not a gotcha.

The software's source stays copyright © Carl Prewitt Jr., all rights reserved. Third-party components inside it keep their own open-source licenses.

2 · Refunds

That's the honest trade of selling software as a download instead of a subscription: I can't take it back, so I can't give the money back. Protect yourself the sensible way, before paying:

• Read the guide — it shows every screen, truthfully.
• Email me your questions. I answer plainly, including "no, it doesn't do that."
• Ask for a walkthrough of the demo store before you commit.

One backstop applies either way: if ShiftWall cannot be made to run on hosting that meets the stated requirements (PHP 8.3+, a MySQL/MariaDB database, and a web server that can be pointed at a folder — any panel or a plain VPS), whether you followed the guide or asked me to install it, I'll get it working or refund you. Software that never ran isn't "delivered."

3 · Updates & support ($150/year, optional)

The optional yearly fee covers software updates and direct support from me by email. It renews only if you choose to pay it. If you skip it:

• Your ShiftWall keeps running, unchanged, on your hosting.
• You stop receiving new features and fixes.
• You can rejoin later at the then-current rate — no back payments.

Support means help with ShiftWall itself. Problems caused by your hosting provider, other software on the server, or modifications you made are outside it — though I'll usually point you the right way anyway.

4 · Privacy

This website

This site collects nothing. No analytics, no cookies, no tracking pixels, no forms. If you email me, I have your email because you sent it, and I use it to reply to you. That's all.

Your ShiftWall installation

ShiftWall runs on hosting you control. Your schedule, your employees' names, emails, phone numbers and hours live in your database, on your server. Nothing is sent to me or to any third party by the software. I can only see your data if you give me access to your hosting — typically during install or support, with your permission, for that purpose.

The software itself ships hardened for privacy: no public pages, no self-registration, search engines told not to index it, and AI crawlers refused outright.

5 · Plain-dealing warranty & limits

I promise the software does what the guide says it does at the time of sale, and that I'll fix honest defects in that behavior — quickly if you're on the support plan, as I'm able otherwise.

Beyond that, ShiftWall is provided as-is. To the maximum extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect damages — lost profits, lost data on hosting I don't control, or scheduling mistakes made with the software. ShiftWall warns and never blocks by design; staffing decisions, labor-law compliance, and payroll accuracy remain yours. My total liability for any claim is capped at what you paid me in the twelve months before it.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA.
