Terms of Use

These terms cover Slotward, a booking and deposit product from Montgomery Appworks LLC, 9905 S Pennsylvania Ave Ste A, Oklahoma City, OK 73159. Contact support@montgomeryappworks.com.

The service

Slotward lets a shop publish services, weekly hours, and a public booking link. A client pays a deposit to hold a time. The shop's cancellation window decides whether a client cancellation refunds that deposit or the shop keeps it. If the shop cancels, the deposit is refunded. The shop can mark a visit completed or a no-show. This version does not include dispatch, routing, crews, escrow, multiple locations, or a mobile app.

Accounts

You need an account to run a shop. You are responsible for the activity under your login and for the accuracy of your services, prices, and policy wording. One shop per account in this version.

Trial and subscription

A new shop gets a 7-day trial. No card is required to start it. After that the subscription is $39 per month or $390 per year, charged by Stripe Billing on the Montgomery Appworks LLC account, not as a fee on client deposits. Twelve months at $39 would be $468, so the annual price leaves two months unbilled. The trial length is the same for both intervals, and both intervals open the same bookings. You pick the interval when you add a card. A card is collected in Stripe Checkout before the trial ends, or when you choose to add one. If the trial ends with no card, or a later invoice fails, or the subscription is canceled, the public booking page stays up and new bookings pause. Existing appointments can still be cancelled from their manage link. You can update the card or cancel from the Stripe customer portal linked in Settings. Deposit charges are not the subscription. They are payments from a client to the shop.

Deposits

Deposits are direct charges on the shop's Stripe Connect Express account. Montgomery Appworks LLC is not the merchant of the deposit, does not hold it in escrow, and does not take a fee out of it in this version. When a client cancels outside the window that applied at booking, the deposit is refunded. When a client cancels inside that window, or does not show, the shop keeps the deposit. When the shop cancels the appointment, the client's full deposit is refunded regardless of that window. The window and the wording are snapshotted on the appointment so a later edit does not rewrite a visit someone already booked.

The shop is responsible for its cancellation policy, for showing it to clients, and for the services it sells. Card network and Stripe rules still apply to refunds and disputes.

Rental security deposits

When rentals are enabled, a shop can list items with a security deposit the shop sets. Slotward is the platform that books the dates and moves the deposit. Slotward is not a party to the rental. The rental is between the shop and the client.

The deposit is a card authorization when the return date plus a one-day settlement window is under 6 days away. Otherwise the deposit is collected when the client books, because a card authorization can expire before the shop can capture it. An authorization is captured if the shop keeps some or all of it, and released if the shop keeps none. A collected deposit is refunded in full or in part when the rental is closed.

At settlement the shop decides any amount it keeps, up to the deposit, and records a reason. The client can contact the shop about that amount, or dispute the charge with their card issuer. If the shop cancels the rental, the full deposit is refunded or the authorization is released, including on or after the pickup date. If the client cancels before the pickup date, the deposit is released. If the client cancels on or after the pickup date, the shop keeps the deposit.

Acceptable use

Don't use Slotward to take payments you don't intend to honor, to collect card details outside Stripe, or to store information you have no right to keep. Don't probe other shops' manage links.

Deleting an account

Shop owners can delete their account in settings. That deletes their Slotward data, including client contact details on appointments and rentals. We ask Stripe to delete a connected Express account. Stripe may refuse while the account has a balance or an open requirement. In that case the local data is still deleted and the Express account has to be closed in the Stripe Dashboard.

Disclaimers and liability

The software is provided as it is. A refund can fail if Stripe rejects it, and a missed webhook can lag behind the Checkout return URL, which is what marks a deposit paid. To the extent the law allows, Montgomery Appworks LLC is not liable for lost profits, a missed appointment, or a deposit Stripe did not move. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under Oklahoma law.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
