Platform terms and conditions

PART 1 – GENERAL USER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Welcome to Pocket Trainer, the platform which empowers hospitality businesses to digitalise the way they share information between team members.

THESE TERMS

In these terms and conditions (together with the documents referred to in them) (the Terms ), we’ll refer to our Website , which refers to all our sites located at or accessible through pockettrainer.app , our Mobile Application , which is available for download, and our Web Application, which is accessible via our Website on desktop and mobile devices, together as our Platform . References to our Website include our owned sites, but do not include links to third-party sites, such as the sites of our partners.

These Terms govern your relationship with us when you access our Platform, so please make sure to read them carefully before you start accessing the Platform.

Certain Staff Members are appointed to administrate a Business’ account with us, for example a team leader, and we refer to such Staff Members also as Admin Users . Whilst our commercial agreements are with Businesses, these Terms apply to any person or organisation using our Platform, including Staff Members. If we are talking about Businesses and Staff Members together, we will refer to you collectively in these Terms as Users .

Pocket Trainer is a facilitation product, principally in respect of communications between Businesses and Staff Members, and so acts as an intermediary between them. As such, Pocket Trainer is not a party to any contractual relationship between Businesses and their Staff Members, and as such shall not be a party to or involved in any disputes or disagreements between Businesses and their Staff Members. Businesses are responsible for managing any human resources or other internal matters within their operations, including with respect to use of our Platform.
