Last updated: March 25, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Chik. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you", "User"), and Jon Corp OÜ ("Chik", "we", "us", or "our"), located at Sepapaja tn 6, 15551 Tallinn, Estonia. These Terms govern your access to and use of the https://chik.app website and the https://my.chik.app application (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and are bound by all of these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and must discontinue use immediately.

2. Description of Service

Chik is a cloud-based project management platform designed for freelancers and their clients. The Services include, but are not limited to, task management, shared notes, time tracking, file sharing, and the facilitation of electronic contract signatures via our Workspace and Showcase modes.

3. Account Registration and Security

To use certain features of the Services, you must register for an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete account information.
• Maintain the security of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your account.
• Promptly notify us at jonathan@mail.chik.app if you discover or suspect any security breaches related to your account.

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, including the actions of any clients or team members you invite to collaborate within your Workspace or Showcase modes.

4. Free Tier, Trials, and Subscriptions

Chik offers a tiered usage model:

• A. Free Tier (Freemium): We offer a forever-free tier that limits functionality strictly to basic task management. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Free Tier at any time with or without notice.
• B. Free Trial: We offer a 7-day free trial granting full access to premium features (including contract signing and time tracking). At the end of the 7-day period, if you have not provided a payment method to upgrade, your account will automatically downgrade to the limited Free Tier.
• C. Paid Subscriptions: Premium features require a paid subscription. All financial transactions, billing, and tax compliance are processed securely by our Merchant of Record, Polar (polar.sh). By upgrading to a paid plan, you also agree to Polar's applicable terms of service regarding payment processing.

5. Refund Policy

We offer a strict 14-day no-questions-asked refund policy on all initial paid subscriptions. If you are dissatisfied with Chik for any reason, you may request a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase date by contacting us at jonathan@mail.chik.app. After the 14-day period has elapsed, all payments are non-refundable, and no prorated refunds will be issued for partially used subscription periods.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Services to:

• Upload, transmit, or distribute any content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, or infringes on any intellectual property rights.
• Use our email infrastructure (powered by Resend) to send unsolicited commercial messages (spam) or phishing campaigns.
• Abuse our file generation infrastructure (powered by pdfEndpoint) by generating excessive or automated requests outside the normal scope of generating timesheets and contracts.
• Attempt to bypass our security measures, probe our infrastructure (including Cloudflare and Xano databases), or reverse-engineer our frontend framework (Nordcraft).

We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate your account without a refund if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated this Acceptable Use Policy.

7. Important Disclaimer Regarding Contracts

CHIK IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.

The Services allow you to draft, share, and electronically sign contracts with your clients. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Chik provides only the software infrastructure to facilitate these agreements.
• We make no representations or warranties regarding the legal validity, enforceability, or compliance of any contract generated or signed using Chik under any local, state, or international laws.
• It is solely your responsibility to ensure that the contracts you create protect your interests and comply with applicable laws.
• Jon Corp OÜ holds zero liability for any legal disputes, financial losses, unpaid invoices, or damages arising from agreements made between you and your clients using our platform.

8. User Content and Intellectual Property

A. Your Content: You retain all ownership rights to the data, text, files, notes, tasks, and contracts you upload or create within Chik ("User Content"). By uploading User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license strictly to host, store, and display that content in order to provide the Services to you and your invited clients.

B. Our Property: The Services, including their original content, features, functionality, and design (including the specific implementation of Workspace and Showcase modes), are owned by Jon Corp OÜ and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Our maximum liability to you for any cause whatsoever, regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us for the Services during the three (3) month period prior to any cause of action arising.

10. Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting your account via the self-serve tools in the Chik application settings, which will immediately erase your data from our servers.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and defined following the laws of Estonia. Jon Corp OÜ and yourself irrevocably consent that the courts of Estonia shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute which may arise in connection with these terms.
