Terms of use

Last updated: 27 April 2026

The deal in plain English

Statute is an iOS application published by Tom Halls (sole trader, United Kingdom). By installing or using the app you agree to the terms set out below in addition to Apple's standard end-user licence agreement, which governs distribution via the App Store.

Not legal advice

Statute calculates statutory interest and fixed compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Every figure shown is a calculation, not legal advice. The output is intended as a starting point for negotiation or a solicitor's review — not a substitute for either. We make no warranty that any specific debt is recoverable, that any specific notice will be honoured, or that any specific calculation is appropriate to your circumstances.

Subscriptions

Statute is sold as an auto-renewing subscription, billed by Apple. The free tier offers a one-shot calculator. The paid tier unlocks saved invoices, daily auto-recalculation, PDF demand-notice generation, scanning, and notifications.

Pricing: £3.99 per month or £24 per year (with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan, for new subscribers only).

Renewal: subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel from the iOS Settings app: Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Refunds: refunds are handled by Apple under their standard policy. Contact Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.

Your data

All your invoices, business details, and notes are stored on your device. We have no servers, accounts, or backups; if you delete the app, the data is gone. Use iCloud Backup or a manual export before uninstalling if you need to keep records. See the privacy policy for full detail.

Acceptable use

Don't use Statute to harass, defraud, or knowingly issue false demands. Don't reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the calculation engine for redistribution. Routine personal and commercial use of the app for the purpose of recovering legitimately overdue invoices is what it's built for; do that freely.

Liability

We provide Statute "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law we exclude liability for indirect, consequential, or special losses arising out of use of the app — including, but not limited to, debts that turn out to be irrecoverable, demand notices that are ignored, miscalculations attributable to bugs, or downtime in third-party services we depend on (Apple, the Bank of England Statistical Database).

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence — which UK consumer law does not allow us to exclude.

Changes

We may update these terms when functionality changes materially. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
