Terms of Service
Last updated: February 1, 2026
Summary
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Tillzen platform — a cloud-based restaurant cash management and daily closeout system designed for multi-unit operators. They cover your subscription, data ownership, acceptable use, security commitments, and dispute resolution.
Tillzen is built to standardize closeout workflows, automate tip distribution, and detect cash variance across every location in your portfolio. These Terms ensure both parties understand their rights and obligations. For details on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy. To learn more about the platform, visit the Daily Closeout Control page or request a demo.
Who This Is For
These Terms apply to any restaurant or hospitality operator, their authorized users (store managers, district managers, finance personnel), and any entity that subscribes to the Tillzen platform. If you are evaluating Tillzen through our 14-day pilot, these Terms also govern your use during the pilot period.
Key Points
- You retain full ownership of all Customer Data — Tillzen never claims ownership of your closeout records, tip data, or variance logs.
- Tillzen commits to 99.5% monthly uptime and encryption of data both in transit and at rest.
- Subscriptions auto-renew unless either party provides 30 days' written notice before the end of the current term.
- All disputes are governed by Ontario law and resolved in Ottawa, Ontario courts.
- Upon termination, your data is available for export for 30 days.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Tillzen platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Tillzen Systems, Inc. ("Tillzen," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

"Account" means the account you create to access and use the Service.
"Customer" means the entity that enters into a subscription agreement with Tillzen for the Service.

3. The Service
Tillzen provides a cloud-based platform designed to help multi-unit restaurant and hospitality operators standardize daily closeout workflows, manage tip allocation and distribution, detect and document cash variance, and maintain audit-ready financial records across locations.
The Service may include features such as:

- Same-day variance alerts and exception handling
- Role-based dashboards for store, district, and regional managers

Tillzen may update, modify, or discontinue features of the Service from time to time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes that affect your use of the Service.
4. Subscription and Billing
Access to the Service requires a paid subscription. Pricing, payment terms, and Subscription Term details are specified in the applicable order form or subscription agreement between Tillzen and the Customer.
Unless otherwise specified, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each Subscription Term for successive periods of equal length. Either party may provide written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
All fees are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in the applicable subscription agreement or as required by applicable law. Tillzen reserves the right to adjust pricing upon renewal with at least sixty (60) days' written notice.
5. Customer Data and Ownership
As between the parties, the Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. Tillzen does not claim ownership of Customer Data.
You grant Tillzen a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, process, store, and display Customer Data solely as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service and to comply with applicable law.
Tillzen may use aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified data derived from Customer Data for product improvement, benchmarking, and industry research purposes, provided that such data cannot reasonably be used to identify the Customer or any individual.

7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, algorithms, user interfaces, designs, documentation, trademarks, and other materials, is the proprietary property of Tillzen and is protected by intellectual property laws.

Confidential Information does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

Support is available via email during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, excluding Canadian statutory holidays). Enterprise customers may have access to enhanced support tiers as specified in their subscription agreement.
10. Data Security
Tillzen implements and maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures.
In the event of a confirmed data breach affecting Customer Data, Tillzen will notify the affected Customer without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law.
11. Warranties and Disclaimers
Tillzen warrants that the Service will perform materially in accordance with the applicable documentation during the Subscription Term. If the Service fails to meet this warranty, Tillzen will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TILLZEN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TILLZEN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TILLZEN'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY THE CUSTOMER DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT SHALL TILLZEN BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tillzen and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
14. Termination
Either party may terminate these Terms for cause if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice.
Upon termination or expiration, your right to access the Service will cease. Tillzen will make Customer Data available for export for a period of thirty (30) days following termination, after which Tillzen may delete Customer Data in accordance with its data retention policies.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to provisions regarding intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Before initiating any formal legal action, the parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
16. Changes to These Terms
Tillzen may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and, where appropriate, by email. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
17. General Provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without Tillzen's prior written consent. Tillzen may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, pandemics, or infrastructure failures.
