WorkersCompWitness Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-05-18 · Last updated: 2026-05-18
1. Acceptance of these terms
By downloading or using WorkersCompWitness (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); references to "we," "us," and "our" mean that developer.
2. What WorkersCompWitness is — and is not
WorkersCompWitness is a personal records organizer for U.S. injured workers documenting work injuries across multi-year workers'-compensation claims under any of the 50 states' systems. You enter information about your work injuries, medical treatments, wage loss, AWW (Average Weekly Wage) inputs, IME (Independent Medical Examination) preparation and post-exam reports, PPD (Permanent Partial Disability) assessment prep, and 50-state statute-of-limitations deadlines; the App helps you organize that information and (in the Pro tier) generate evidence pack PDFs for personal use, including 8 reports (Work Injury Timeline, Medical Treatment Log, Wage Loss Documentation, IME Preparation Pack, PPD Assessment Prep, Attorney Brief, State Form Companion, Comprehensive Claim Archive) intended for consultation with a workers'-compensation attorney or your state's free workers' compensation ombudsman.
WorkersCompWitness is not legal advice, medical advice, or workers'-compensation claim advice. It does not represent injured workers, file workers'-compensation claims or forms (state-specific DWC-1, C-3, etc.) on your behalf, provide legal advice or opinions on claim eligibility, predict claim outcomes, calculate official PPD lump-sum values for settlement basis (the in-app PPD calculator is informational only), or guarantee any claim outcome. Reference-Only Mapper suggestions (first-responder PTSD presumption, occupational disease, aggravation of pre-existing condition, cumulative trauma disorder, Long COVID occupational), AWW Calculator outputs, 50-State SOL Tracker deadlines, and PPD Assessment Prep outputs are reference-only, based on publicly available state regulations — not legal determinations of eligibility, benefit amount, or settlement value. WorkersCompWitness is not a workers' compensation attorney, accredited representative, or claims agent. State unauthorized practice of law (UPL) statutes restrict who may represent injured workers. For accredited representation, consult a workers' compensation attorney licensed in your state. For free claimant assistance, contact your state's workers' compensation ombudsman service — every state offers free assistance, and the App includes an in-app Free State Ombudsman Locator with contact information for all 50 states + DC. WorkersCompWitness is not affiliated with the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), federal workers'-compensation programs (FECA / Longshore / Jones Act / Black Lung), any state workers' compensation board (50 states), any insurance carrier (Travelers, Liberty Mutual, The Hartford, AIG, Sedgwick, Gallagher Bassett, Zurich, Berkshire Hathaway, or any other), any third-party administrator, any self-insured employer, any law firm, or any bar association. Trademarks are property of their respective owners.
3. Subscriptions and the Pro tier
3.1 Free tier
The App is free to download and use. The free tier includes 1 work injury with full injury profile (date, employer, state, body part affected, mechanism of injury); up to 5 medical treatment records on that injury; the Reference-Only Suggestion preview based on your state and occupation; mandatory delete confirmation alert before every record deletion; and Face ID / Touch ID app lock. Records are stored on your device only. Your archive is protected from device loss by Apple's standard device backup (iCloud Backup or iTunes / Finder).
3.2 Pro subscription and Pro Lifetime
Pro features unlock when you start a Pro subscription or purchase the Pro Lifetime product. Three products are offered:
- Pro Annual — $39.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers.
- Pro Monthly — $4.99 per month, no trial.
- Pro Lifetime — $199 one-time non-consumable purchase.
All three products unlock the same set of Pro features. Prices shown are USD; Apple displays the equivalent local price at purchase time.
3.3 Auto-renewal and billing (Monthly + Annual)
Auto-renewing subscriptions (Monthly and Annual) automatically renew 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. You can manage and cancel your subscription in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device. Refunds for the unused portion of an active period are not offered by WorkersCompWitness; refund eligibility is determined solely by Apple under its published policies.
3.4 Free trial forfeiture (Annual)
If you start a free trial and cancel during the trial, you keep Pro access through the end of the trial period and are not charged. If you do not cancel, your subscription begins at the end of the trial at the published price.
3.5 No cloud storage
WorkersCompWitness stores all records on the device you carry. The App does not use iCloud sync, CloudKit, or any cloud storage operated by us or any third party. Records travel with your iPhone via Apple's standard device backup (iCloud Backup or iTunes / Finder) when you have it enabled — that backup is operated by Apple under your Apple ID, not by us. For sharing a single record at a time, every user (Free or Pro) gets a per-injury text export to the iOS Share Sheet from any injury's detail screen.
3.6 Pro Lifetime (one-time purchase)
Pro Lifetime is a non-consumable in-app purchase. There is no recurring charge. The purchase unlocks the same Pro feature set as the auto-renewing subscriptions and persists for the life of the App on every device signed into your Apple ID. Refunds are governed solely by Apple under its published policies.
4. Pro features
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.
- Unlimited work injuries: Pro subscribers may track an unlimited number of work injuries with full medical treatment, wage loss, AWW, IME, PPD, and SOL detail. Records are stored on the user's device only.
- AWW Calculator: Computes Average Weekly Wage from user-entered payroll data using publicly available state regulations (52-week, 13-week, pre-injury year, seasonal, concurrent, irregular formulas). State max/min weekly benefit caps applied automatically. Reference only — not legal determination of compensation rate. Consult a workers' compensation attorney or your state's free workers' compensation ombudsman for final determination.
- IME Preparation Pack: 15-item pre-IME preparation checklist, exam visit documentation form, and post-IME report review with conflict analysis against the treating physician's records. Stored locally with the work injury record. Reference only — not legal advice or IME strategy.
- 50-State SOL Tracker: Computes notification, claim filing, reopening, hearing request, and appeal deadlines from user-entered dates and publicly available state statute of limitations regulations. Reference only — statutes can change. Consult a workers' compensation attorney or your state's free workers' compensation ombudsman for definitive deadline determination.
- PDF reports: Generates the Attorney Brief (Single Injury), Work Injury Timeline, Medical Treatment Log, Wage Loss Documentation, IME Preparation Pack, PPD Assessment Prep, State Form Companion, and Comprehensive Claim Archive PDFs. Generation runs on-device; no archive content is transmitted. PDFs are personal records, not legal filings, attorney work product, or substitutes for accredited representation.
- PPD Assessment Prep: AMA Guides edition reference (5th, 6th, state-specific schedule), state-specific PPD method (scheduled benefits, whole-person impairment, wage-loss, hybrid), and self-reported impairment documentation. Reference only — final impairment rating requires a qualified medical examiner.
- Reference-Only Mapper: Five sub-modules suggesting potentially applicable reference resources based on publicly available state regulations — first-responder PTSD presumption laws, occupational disease references, aggravation-of-pre-existing rules, cumulative trauma disorder references, and Long COVID occupational references. Reference only — not legal determination. Every suggestion includes a recommendation to contact the user's state workers' compensation ombudsman for free claimant assistance.
- HealthKit integration: Optional. Uses Apple's HealthKit framework with read-only permission for heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV (SDNN), step count, and sleep analysis. Useful for first-responder PTSD biomarker tracking, repetitive strain injury monitoring, and Long COVID occupational disease evidence. HealthKit data is rendered on-device and never uploaded.
The following capabilities are universal Free (never gated):
- App lock (Face ID / Touch ID): Uses Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. Biometric data never leaves Apple's Secure Enclave; the app receives only a success/failure result.
- Mandatory delete confirmation alert before every record deletion.
- Per-injury text export to the iOS Share Sheet from any injury's detail screen.
5. Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for the accuracy of every record, date, employer name, body part, mechanism, photo, document scan, and self-described event you enter.
- You are responsible for consulting a workers' compensation attorney licensed in your state, or your state's free workers' compensation ombudsman service, for any matter requiring representation, legal advice, or definitive determination of claim eligibility, deadline, AWW, PPD value, or settlement strategy.
- You are responsible for consulting your physician for medical decisions and a licensed attorney for legal matters. WorkersCompWitness is not a substitute for any of those professionals.
- You are responsible for maintaining device backups so that your multi-year claim archive survives device loss. WorkersCompWitness has no remote copy on our servers and cannot restore data we never received.
- You will not use the App for any purpose other than personal documentation of your own work-injury claim records (or records you are otherwise lawfully entitled to maintain on behalf of an injured worker for whom you provide care).
6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
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, for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost data, denied workers'-compensation claims, denied benefits, cut TTD / TPD payments, denied appeals, lost backpay, lost lifetime PPD / PTD compensation, missed deadlines, statute-of-limitation lapses, or any benefits, clinical, or financial outcome. Evidence pack PDFs generated by the App are tools for your use; we do not guarantee that any insurance carrier, third-party administrator, self-insured employer, workers'-compensation board, hearing officer, judge, attorney, IME doctor, treating physician, or qualified medical examiner will accept them.
7. Apple End User License Agreement
Your use of the App is also governed by Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA) for licensed applications, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, these Terms govern as between you and us; the Apple EULA governs as between you and Apple.
8. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be surfaced in the App on next launch. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance.
9. Governing law
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.
