ShiftCycle Terms of Use

Effective date: 10 April 2026

1 About these Terms

ShiftCycle is operated by AILZE LTD, Company No. 14108522, at:

8 Hardy Close, Barbury Business Centre

Preston, Lancashire, PR2 2XP

AILZE LTD is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under registration reference ZC217506.

These Terms apply to organisations purchasing or using ShiftCycle and to their authorised administrators, employees, workers, client users and partner users.

Any signed order form, SaaS agreement or Data Processing Agreement takes priority where it expressly conflicts with these website or app Terms.

2 Platform service

ShiftCycle is a workforce-management SaaS platform supporting:

  • scheduling;
  • shift allocation;
  • attendance and clock-in/out records;
  • timesheets;
  • availability and leave management;
  • workforce requests;
  • notifications;
  • reporting;
  • employee self-service; and
  • recruitment-agency operations.

Features may vary by plan, configuration and development stage.

We may maintain, update or reasonably modify the service without materially removing paid core functionality during an active subscription, except where necessary for security, law or technical integrity.

3 Accounts and authorised use

Users must:

  • provide accurate information;
  • protect credentials;
  • promptly report suspected unauthorised access.

Customer administrators are responsible for creating, assigning and removing user access and for ensuring role permissions are appropriate.

Users must not:

  • bypass security;
  • access another organisation without authority;
  • introduce malicious code;
  • scrape the service unlawfully; or
  • use ShiftCycle for fraudulent, discriminatory or unlawful purposes.

Customers are responsible for the legality, accuracy and suitability of workforce, employment, attendance and client information they enter into the platform.

4 Connection / Partner module

ShiftCycle's Connection / Partner module allows independent organisations to establish approved digital relationships for workforce collaboration.

A client organisation may submit a staffing requirement to one or more approved agencies.

A recruitment agency that cannot fulfil an authorised requirement may route an authorised part of it to an approved partner agency, labour provider or subcontract agency within its network.

A connection does not:

  • merge databases;
  • transfer ownership of workers; or
  • provide unrestricted access to another organisation's workforce records.

Each organisation remains operationally independent and controls its own employees, users and records.

Workforce requests and transferred assignments may be logged and traceable for accountability.

5 Agency-management responsibilities

Each recruitment agency, labour provider, client and partner organisation is solely responsible for its own legal and operational obligations, including:

  • worker engagement;
  • pay;
  • holiday;
  • tax;
  • right-to-work checks;
  • recruitment compliance;
  • licences where applicable;
  • health and safety;
  • equality duties;
  • insurance;
  • supervision; and
  • contractual arrangements with other organisations.

ShiftCycle provides technology to manage and communicate workforce requirements.

AILZE LTD does not become the employer, employment business, labour supplier, agent, partner or guarantor of a participating organisation merely because organisations are connected through the platform.

6 Data protection

Each organisation must comply with applicable UK data-protection law and use personal information only for authorised workforce purposes.

Customers must provide appropriate privacy information to workers and other individuals.

Customers must not share more information through the Partner module than is reasonably necessary.

Where AILZE LTD acts as processor, processing is subject to the applicable customer agreement or Data Processing Agreement.

AILZE LTD remains responsible for its own controller obligations and is registered with the ICO under reference ZC217506.

7 Attendance, timesheets and payroll-related outputs

Clock-in/out records, timesheets, hours calculations, availability records and payroll-related exports are operational tools.

Customers remain responsible for checking the accuracy and completeness of records before using them for:

  • pay;
  • invoicing;
  • disciplinary action;
  • compliance; or
  • other significant decisions.

ShiftCycle does not provide payroll, tax, employment-law or accountancy advice unless separately agreed in writing.

8 Client requests and partner fulfilment

A workforce request created or routed through ShiftCycle is an operational communication.

It does not by itself create:

  • a staffing-supply contract;
  • an employment contract;
  • a guarantee of worker availability; or
  • an obligation on AILZE LTD to supply labour.

Commercial terms between clients, agencies and partner providers must be agreed separately by those organisations.

Users are responsible for confirming:

  • quantities;
  • rates;
  • shift details;
  • worker suitability;
  • cancellation arrangements; and
  • any other supply terms.

9 Intellectual property and customer content

ShiftCycle software, source code, architecture, interfaces, workflows, branding and platform materials are owned by or licensed to AILZE LTD.

Customers and users retain rights in information they lawfully submit.

They grant AILZE LTD the limited rights necessary to host, process, back up, display and transmit that information to provide and secure the service.

Users must not copy, reverse engineer, resell or commercially exploit the platform except where expressly permitted by law or a written agreement.

10 Third-party services and availability

ShiftCycle may depend on:

  • hosting;
  • email;
  • mapping;
  • backup;
  • monitoring; or
  • other third-party services.

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

Planned maintenance, security work, internet failures, third-party outages and events outside reasonable control may affect access.

We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, data, the platform or legal compliance.

11 Fees, renewal and termination

Where a paid plan applies, pricing, billing periods, renewal, included features and cancellation terms are those shown in the applicable order, account or subscription agreement.

Customers must pay undisputed charges when due.

We may suspend a business account for:

  • material breach;
  • misuse;
  • security risk; or
  • overdue undisputed fees,

after reasonable notice where appropriate.

On termination, access ends subject to any agreed export or data-return arrangements and applicable retention obligations.

12 Warranties and liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  • fraud; or
  • fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to that, ShiftCycle is provided as a workforce-management tool and AILZE LTD does not guarantee:

  • staffing levels;
  • worker attendance;
  • partner fulfilment;
  • employment outcomes;
  • revenue;
  • payroll accuracy; or
  • regulatory compliance by customers or connected organisations.

For business customers, to the fullest extent permitted by law, AILZE LTD is not liable for:

  • indirect or consequential loss;
  • loss of profit;
  • loss of revenue;
  • loss of business opportunity;
  • loss of anticipated savings;
  • loss of goodwill; or
  • loss arising from decisions made on inaccurate customer-entered data or from another connected organisation's acts or omissions.

Subject to liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited and any different cap in a signed agreement, AILZE LTD's aggregate contractual liability to a business customer will not exceed the ShiftCycle fees paid by that customer in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

13 Indemnity and acceptable conduct

A business customer is responsible for losses reasonably incurred by AILZE LTD arising from that customer's:

  • unlawful content;
  • unlawful worker or client data sharing;
  • misuse of the Partner module;
  • infringement of third-party rights; or
  • material breach of applicable employment, recruitment or data-protection obligations,

to the extent legally enforceable.

This clause does not apply so as to remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14 Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

For business customers, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction unless a signed agreement provides otherwise.

Any mandatory rights applying to an individual user are unaffected.
