Terms of service
1. The service
AwayDesk is an online service for recording and managing employee leave, provided by [legal name and registration number] ("we"). These terms apply between us and the business that signs up ("you").
2. Accounts
You are responsible for the accounts you create for your employees, for keeping sign-in details safe, and for removing access when someone leaves. Tell us promptly if you believe an account has been misused.

The leave records you put into AwayDesk belong to you. You are the responsible party for them under POPIA and we process them as your operator, only to provide the service. Our handling of personal information is described in the privacy policy. [Operator agreement terms required by sections 20 and 21 of POPIA.]
4. Leave rules and advice
AwayDesk applies the leave rules you set up. The starting rules follow the minimums in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act for a five-day week, but you are responsible for making sure your leave policy and settings match your contracts and the law. AwayDesk does not give legal advice.
5. Fees
[Pricing, billing period, payment method, trial, price changes and late payment. The price shown on the website is provisional.]
