End User Licence Agreement
Please read this agreement before installing or using Brawta. By installing, activating, or using the software, you agree to these terms.
1. Who this agreement is with
Brawta (“the Software”) is owned and operated by RKhan Investment Limited, a company registered in Jamaica (“we”, “us”, “Brawta”). “You” means the individual or business that installs or uses the Software.
2. Licence
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the Software for your own business payroll, subject to the limits of your plan:
- Free: usable at no charge within its built-in limits (e.g. company and employee caps).
- Paid plans (Standard, Pro, Bureau): unlocked by a licence key we issue to you. Each key is for the business named on it. Bureau keys may cover multiple client companies as agreed.
Paid licences are valid for the period stated on the key (typically one year) and include updates released during that period. When a paid licence expires, the Software continues to work at the Free tier; your data is never deleted. Renew by obtaining a new key. Prices are in Jamaican dollars and are reviewed once a year: a change applies from your next renewal, never to a period you have already paid for, and we publish it at least 30 days before it applies to you.
3. What you may not do
- Share, resell, sublicense, or publish your licence key, or use one key across unrelated businesses (except as allowed by a Bureau plan).
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to forge or extend a licence key, except to the limited extent the law permits.
- Remove or alter any branding, notices, or watermarks.
4. Ownership
We own all rights in the Software, including its code, design, and trademarks. You own your data. Brawta stores your company, employee, and payroll data locally on your own device; we do not host or have access to it.
5. Your data & privacy
Because your data stays on your device, you are the data controller for the personal information you process (your employees’ details) under Jamaica’s Data Protection Act, and you are responsible for keeping it secure and backed up. The Software provides backup and restore tools; use them. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly what does and does not reach us. We are not responsible for data lost through your own device failure, deletion, or lack of backups.
6. Brawta is a tool, not professional advice
Brawta helps you calculate statutory deductions (PAYE, NIS, NHT, Education Tax, HEART) and prepare returns (S01, S02, and others). It is not a substitute for professional accounting or tax advice. You remain responsible for verifying your figures, filings, and payments with Tax Administration Jamaica and the relevant authorities, and for meeting your filing deadlines.
7. Warranties
We work hard to keep Brawta accurate and current with statutory rates, but software of this complexity is not guaranteed to be error-free or uninterrupted, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we give no other warranties, express or implied. That is not a way of disowning our own mistakes. If the Software computes a statutory figure incorrectly when used correctly and kept up to date, that is ours — see the next section and clause 4.4 of the licence agreement in the app. Anything supplied free of charge, on trial, or as the browser demo is provided “as is”.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, nor for tax penalties, interest or fines that arise from your data, your filings, filing or remitting late, or not applying a statutory update we had made available.
Where the fault is ours, it is ours. If the Software computes a statutory figure incorrectly when used correctly, we do not push that back on you — subject to the cap below and to the conditions in the licence agreement, which in short are: be on a supported version, have applied the rate updates we published, tell us promptly, and give us a chance to fix it.
Our total liability, for everything taken together, is capped at the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the first event giving rise to it, or our published annual list price for your tier. Claims must be brought within twelve months of the pay date they relate to. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit.
9. Updates
We may release updates, including for changes to statutory rates and forms. The desktop app can update itself; we recommend you keep it current so your calculations stay compliant.
10. Termination
This licence ends if you breach these terms. You may stop using the Software at any time. On termination, your right to use paid features ends, but your locally-stored data remains yours.
11. Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of Jamaica, and the courts of Jamaica have jurisdiction over any dispute.
