Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Shinsu LLC (“Drift”, “we”, “us”) covering your use of the Drift apps, the drift-timer.com website, the command-line companion, and anything else we offer under the Drift name (together, the “Service”). By creating an account, joining the waitlist, or using any part of the Service, you accept these Terms. If you don’t accept them, please don’t use Drift.

You need to be at least 13 years old to use Drift (or 16 in jurisdictions where that is the threshold for digital consent). If you’re using Drift on behalf of a company or another person, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.

• Keep one account per person. Don’t share credentials and don’t pretend to be someone else.
• You are responsible for activity under your account. If you lose access or notice unauthorized use, email us right away.
• We may refuse, suspend, or close accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe were created to abuse the Service.

Drift is a personal time tracker. It is currently in TestFlight beta on iOS and on a marketing landing on the web. Features and availability will change as we ship. We may add, remove, or alter functionality — we’ll try to do this with restraint.

Drift is intended for your own use. It is not certified payroll software, billing software, or a system of record for legal, medical, or financial obligations.

• Pricing. Drift currently offers a paid subscription at the price listed on drift-timer.com and inside the App Store. We may also offer a one-time lifetime purchase. Local taxes apply where required.
• Billing on iOS. Subscriptions purchased through the App Store are billed by Apple. Auto-renewal, free-trial terms, and renewal pricing are the ones Apple shows you at the moment of purchase. Manage, cancel, or change your subscription in your Apple ID Subscriptions settings — not from inside Drift.
• Billing on the web. When paid plans launch on the web, payments will be processed by Stripe under the same auto-renewal disclosures shown on the checkout page.
• Refunds. For App Store purchases, refunds are handled by Apple under their refund policy — we cannot grant App Store refunds ourselves. For web purchases, contact us and we’ll review the request in good faith.
• Failed payments. If a renewal fails and isn’t cured, your subscription expires and paid features lock until you renew. Your data stays put.

Projects, tags, time entries, notes, and goals you create in Drift are your content. You keep ownership of them. To run the Service we need a limited license to host, store, transmit, and display them on your behalf, and to process them through our sub-processors as described in our Privacy page. That license ends when you delete the content or your account.

We will not sell your content or use it to train AI models.

You agree not to:

• Use Drift to break the law or other people’s rights.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Service in ways that go beyond ordinary client behavior.
• Probe, attack, or abuse our infrastructure, our vendors, or other users.
• Resell or sublicense the Service without written permission.
• Upload content that is illegal, malicious, or that you do not have the right to upload.

The Drift apps, website, brand, copy, design, and code are owned by Shinsu LLC and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service as offered — nothing more.

Feedback you send us (suggestions, bug reports, feature ideas) is something we can use freely without obligation. Don’t send us anything you consider confidential unless we agree in writing first.

During TestFlight, parts of Drift may behave unexpectedly, disappear between builds, or contain rough edges. By participating you accept this. We’ll work hard to keep your data safe, but for now we recommend you treat Drift as a companion to, not a replacement for, anything mission-critical.

You can close your account at any time from inside the mobile app (Settings → Delete Account) or by emailing us. Closing your account triggers the deletion described in the Privacy page.

We may suspend or close your account if you materially breach these Terms, if we’re required to by law, or if continuing to provide the Service would expose us or other users to harm. Where reasonable, we’ll give you notice and a chance to cure.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shinsu LLC disclaims all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We don’t guarantee that the Service will meet your requirements, that timing data will be perfect, or that the Service will be available without interruption. Back up anything you can’t afford to lose.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shinsu LLC and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or connected with your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim or (b) US$50.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limits. If yours doesn’t, the limits apply only to the extent permitted.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shinsu LLC from claims and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of someone else’s rights.

If you use Drift on iOS, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Shinsu LLC, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event of any failure to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, who may refund the purchase price; to the fullest extent allowed by law, Apple has no other warranty obligations. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them as they apply to your use of the iOS app.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in the United States, unless local consumer-protection law gives you a non-waivable right to your home jurisdiction.

We may update these Terms as Drift evolves. The effective date at the top of this page is how you can tell something changed. If a change is material we’ll send you a note before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
