By downloading or using Abateline (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App. The App is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F); "we," "us," and "our" mean that developer.
Abateline is a personal recordkeeping and reminder tool for small-business employers who have received an OSHA safety citation. You enter information about that citation: the inspection (date, OSHA inspector, site), the citation itself (cited standard section, classification, proposed penalty, your own written objection), the abatement you performed and its result, and optional photos of the cited condition and your fix. The App organizes that record, counts the 15-working-day contest deadline, tracks your abatement dates, references publicly available OSHA-standard and OSHRC contest-procedure material, and — on the Pro tier — generates an evidence-timeline PDF and a Notice of Contest or Informal Conference request letter for your own use.
The App is free to download and use, with these limits: up to 10 citation records (each with full classification, your written objection, the 15-working-day contest countdown, and its abatement log), the OSHA-standard and OSHRC contest-procedure reference, and on-screen contest-deadline and abatement-date reminders. App Lock (Face ID / Touch ID) is included free for all users.
Pro features unlock when you start the Pro subscription or complete the Lifetime purchase. Two products are offered:
Both products unlock the identical Pro feature set. Prices are in USD; Apple displays the equivalent local price at purchase. There is no monthly product.
The Annual subscription automatically renews until canceled. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before that end. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device. We do not offer refunds for the unused portion of an active period; refund eligibility is determined solely by Apple under its published policies. The Lifetime purchase is a single charge with no recurring billing.
If you start the 7-day free trial on Annual and cancel during the trial, you keep Pro access through the end of the trial and are not charged. If you do not cancel, your subscription begins at the end of the trial at the published price.
Pro provides the following features. The behavior described here is binding on us — if a future App update materially changes any of these descriptions, we will revise this section.
App Lock is a Free feature that uses Apple's LocalAuthentication framework (Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode) to gate access to the App. Biometric data never leaves Apple's Secure Enclave; the App receives only a success/failure result. App Lock can be enabled or disabled in Settings > Privacy at any time.
The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us, through Apple, in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost data, a missed contest deadline, a missed abatement or abatement-certification date, increased penalties, business interruption, or any outcome of an inspection, contest, informal conference, hearing, or appeal. Reference content and generated documents are tools for your use; we do not guarantee that OSHA, OSHRC, or any court will accept or be bound by them.
Your use of the App is also governed by Apple's standard End User License Agreement for licensed applications, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. If these Terms conflict with the Apple EULA, these Terms govern as between you and us; the Apple EULA governs as between you and Apple.
Organization and agency names referenced in the App and in this document — including the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and any state OSHA plan — belong to their respective holders. Abateline is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of them.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be surfaced in the App on next launch. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in courts located in California, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.
