Terms of Service — Merit
Last updated: 2026-08-28
Welcome to Merit, a real-time earnings tracker for freelancers, published by Liminal Ninja ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using Merit (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. The service
Merit is a utility app that helps you track and visualize your freelance earnings in real time. Some features require a paid subscription, purchased and billed through the app store you downloaded it from.
Your clients, your rates and your earnings stay on your device: there is no account, and we never transmit them anywhere. The App does send anonymous usage analytics, crash diagnostics and your subscription status to third-party processors — the Privacy Policy sets out what each one receives and how to turn the analytics off. You are responsible for the data you enter and for keeping your own device and backups.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal or professional use, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store you downloaded it from.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where this is permitted by applicable law.
- Use the App in any unlawful way, or to violate the rights of others.
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App.
4. Your data and accuracy
The earnings figures Merit displays are estimates based on the clients, rates, and work slots you enter. They are provided for motivation and personal tracking only. They are not invoices, accounting records, tax documents, or financial advice. You are solely responsible for your own billing, accounting, and tax obligations, and for verifying any figure before relying on it.
5. Intellectual property
The App, including its name, design, code, and branding, is owned by Liminal Ninja and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. The data you create within the App belongs to you.
6. No warranty
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any figure it displays is accurate or complete.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Liminal Ninja shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App — including any reliance on figures it displays. Because the App is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for it, which is zero.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
8. Changes to the App and Terms
We may update, modify, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
9. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it, which also deletes your local data. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute shall be subject to the competent courts of that jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.
