Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Leavely (“the Service”), operated by Xtraphones UK Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, including administrators, employees, and any person accessing the Service on behalf of an organisation.

2. Description of Service

Leavely is a cloud-based, multi-tenant leave management platform that allows organisations to manage employee time off, track leave balances, and streamline approval workflows. Each organisation (“Tenant”) operates in an isolated workspace. Tenants cannot access another Tenant's data.

3. Account Responsibilities

When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
  • Be responsible for all activity under your account
  • Ensure that all users you invite comply with these Terms

Organisation owners are responsible for managing their workspace, including inviting and removing team members, and ensuring appropriate access controls are in place.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or other users' accounts
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service or its infrastructure
  • Upload malicious content, code, viruses, or harmful data
  • Impersonate another person or organisation
  • Use the Service to store data unrelated to leave and workforce management
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service without our written consent
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service unless authorised under a Partner agreement

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Leavely offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start a trial. After the trial, continued use requires a paid subscription.

Pricing is £8 per active employee per month (or equivalent in your local currency), billed monthly via Stripe. Your monthly charge is calculated based on the number of active employees in your workspace at the time of billing.

We may change our pricing with at least 30 days' written notice. Price changes do not apply retroactively and will take effect at your next billing cycle after the notice period.

You can cancel your subscription at any time through the billing settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. After cancellation, your workspace enters read-only mode — you can view and export your data but cannot create or modify records.

6. Refund Policy

As the Service operates on a monthly billing cycle with no long-term commitment, refunds are generally not offered. However, we may consider refund requests in the following circumstances:

  • A billing error on our part (e.g. double charge)
  • A material service outage lasting more than 48 continuous hours
  • Exceptional circumstances at our sole discretion

Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of the charge to hello@leavely.com.

7. Data Ownership and Portability

Your data is yours. You retain full ownership of all data you upload to or create within Leavely. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your content.

You may export your data at any time while your account is active or in read-only mode. We use your data only as described in our Privacy Policy.

Upon written request after account closure, we will permanently delete your data within 30 days, unless we are required by law to retain it.

8. Data Processing and Privacy

Leavely processes personal data (employee names, email addresses, leave records) on behalf of your organisation. For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018:

  • You (the organisation) are the Data Controller — you decide what data to input and how it is used within your organisation.
  • We (Leavely / Xtraphones UK Ltd) are the Data Processor — we process data on your behalf according to your instructions and these Terms.

By using the Service, you confirm that you have a lawful basis for processing the personal data of your employees and that you have provided appropriate privacy notices to them.

Full details of how we handle personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy. If you require a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA), please contact us at hello@leavely.com.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, documentation, trademarks, logos, and all related intellectual property, is owned by Xtraphones UK Ltd and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms. This licence does not include the right to:

  • Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service
  • Use our trademarks or branding without written permission
  • Sublicense or transfer your access to a third party

10. Service Availability

We strive to keep Leavely available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. The Service is provided on an “as available” basis. We may perform scheduled maintenance with reasonable advance notice where possible.

We are not liable for any downtime, data loss, or service interruptions caused by factors outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to internet outages, third-party service failures, cyberattacks, or force majeure events.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

  • Leave calculations, holiday entitlement figures, or balances generated by the Service are accurate for your specific legal or contractual obligations
  • The Service will meet all of your requirements
  • The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free of errors

You are responsible for verifying that leave calculations, statutory entitlements, and balances comply with your applicable employment laws, contracts, and policies. Leavely is a management tool, not legal or HR compliance advice.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Xtraphones UK Ltd and its directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill
  • Any damages arising from your reliance on the Service's calculations or outputs
  • Any unauthorised access to or alteration of your data

Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the total amount you paid us in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid anything, our liability is limited to £100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Xtraphones UK Ltd and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms
  • Your breach of any applicable law or regulation
  • Any data you input into the Service that infringes a third party's rights
  • Any claim by your employees or third parties relating to how you use the Service
  • Your failure to comply with data protection obligations as a Data Controller

14. Termination

You may close your account at any time through settings or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access if:

  • You violate these Terms
  • Your account has been inactive for more than 12 months
  • You fail to pay outstanding subscription fees
  • We are required to do so by law

Upon termination, your workspace enters read-only mode for 30 days, during which you can export your data. After 30 days, we may permanently delete your data unless required by law to retain it.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the platform at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. International Use

Leavely is available to users worldwide. If you are using the Service from outside the United Kingdom, you are responsible for compliance with your local laws. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions.

For users in the United States: you agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), except where prohibited by law. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable Partner Programme Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Xtraphones UK Ltd regarding the use of the Service. They supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Subject to Section 16 (International Use), any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
