1. Acceptance and eligibility
ShadeTree HR is provided by Standifer Labs for authorized workforce use by participating organizations. By accessing the app, you agree to these terms and the applicable policies of the organization that issued your account. You may use the app only while that organization has provisioned and authorized your access. The app is not offered for public registration.
2. Accounts and security
Keep your credentials, passcodes, authenticator codes, and recovery codes confidential. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless you promptly report suspected misuse. Do not let another person clock time, approve requests, sign documents, or access HR information through your account. Additional security may be required for privileged or sensitive access.
3. Accurate timekeeping and workforce information
Submit complete and accurate punches, timecards, leave requests, acknowledgements, and other workforce information. Do not falsify time, work activity, signatures, approvals, or records. Report mistakes promptly to your manager or HR team. For ordinary employer accounts, the server—not the device clock—determines the recorded time for punches.
4. Acceptable use
You must not:
- access records or functions beyond your assigned role or legitimate work purpose;
- share, copy, photograph, or disclose confidential employee or organization information without authorization;
- circumvent authentication, role controls, device protections, or audit mechanisms;
- introduce malware, disrupt the service, probe for vulnerabilities, or automate abusive requests; or
- use ShadeTree HR for unlawful, harassing, fraudulent, or non-workforce purposes.
5. Devices and biometric protections
Protect any device used for ShadeTree HR with an appropriate passcode and operating-system updates. Face ID or Touch ID matching is processed by Apple on your device; Standifer Labs does not receive your biometric template. Notify your organization promptly if a device with app access is lost, stolen, or shared with an unauthorized person.
6. Organization content and third-party services
The app may provide policies, handbook material, training, documents, forms, trademarks, and other content owned or licensed by your organization or its service providers. You receive a limited, revocable right to use that content for authorized work purposes. Apple and service-provider terms may also apply to the iPhone, App Store, or supporting services. Unless a custom license is provided in App Store Connect, Apple's standard licensed application terms apply to distribution of the app.
7. Availability, changes, and support
Standifer Labs or your organization may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue app features, permissions, or accounts. Internet access is required for ordinary account sign-in and current workforce data. Report errors through the ShadeTree HR Support Center; do not assume a timekeeping or approval action succeeded until the app confirms it.
8. Privacy
The ShadeTree HR Privacy Notice explains how workforce information is handled. Your use of the app also remains subject to your organization's applicable employment, confidentiality, records-management, and information-security policies.
9. Employment relationship and enforcement
ShadeTree HR is an administrative tool. These terms do not create an employment relationship with Standifer Labs, create an employment contract with your organization, guarantee continued employment, or alter any written agreement or rights that cannot legally be waived. Your organization may investigate suspected misuse, preserve relevant records, restrict access, and take appropriate action consistent with law and its policies.
10. Governing law and contact
To the extent permitted by applicable law, these terms are governed by Florida law. Questions about these terms or the ShadeTree HR app may be sent to nate@flpg.net or Standifer Labs, 11161 SR 70 E, #110 PMB 355, Bradenton, FL 34202.
