Your data
You own it. Everything you put into batapp — assets, photos, locations, custom fields, check-out records — belongs to you.
We need permission to handle your data to run the service, so you grant us a license to store, process, display, and transmit your data as needed to:
- Operate batapp
- Provide support
- Improve the service
- Keep things secure
That's it. We won't use your data for anything else without asking.
Photos and location data
When you upload photos or capture GPS locations, we store them as part of your asset records. They're your data and follow the same rules.
What happens to your data when you leave
If you cancel or we terminate your account:
- You have 30 days to export your data
- After 30 days, we permanently delete it
- Some records may be kept for legal compliance (see our Privacy Policy)

You're responsible for any taxes applicable to your subscription. We'll charge VAT where required by South African law. If you're VAT-registered and need a tax invoice, contact support.

The legal bits
Disclaimer
batapp is provided "as is." We do our best to make it reliable and useful, but we can't guarantee it will be perfect, uninterrupted, or error-free.
We don't warrant that:
- The service will meet all your specific requirements
- It will be available 100% of the time
- All errors will be corrected immediately
Limitation of liability
Our maximum liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before any claim.
We're not liable for:
- Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- Lost profits or business interruption
- Problems caused by third-party services
- Data loss (except due to our gross negligence)
Consumer Protection Act
If you're a consumer under South African law, some of these limitations may not apply to you. We don't exclude any rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act.
Indemnity
You agree to protect us from claims arising from:
- Your use of batapp
- Your violation of these terms
- Your data or content
- Your violation of someone else's rights
Account termination
You can leave anytime
Cancel by emailing support@batapp.co.za or through your account settings.

- No further charges after cancellation
- You won't get a refund for the remaining time, but you can keep using batapp until the period ends
We can terminate if needed
We may terminate your access immediately if you:
- Seriously breach these terms
- Don't pay after we've notified you

What survives termination
Some parts of these terms continue after termination: intellectual property rights, liability limits, and governing law.
General terms
Entire agreement
These terms plus our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us. They replace any previous agreements about batapp.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For significant changes:
- We'll email you
- We'll note the changes on our website

Force majeure
Neither of us is liable for delays caused by things beyond reasonable control — natural disasters, wars, internet outages, pandemics, etc.
Severability
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
