Terms of Service

Effective 6 June 2026 · Last updated 6 June 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Operator Tools, a web application published at tools.hallettscovepartners.com and any subdomains (the “Service”), operated by Hallett's Cove Partners, vl. Ivan Pešić, a Croatian sole-proprietor business (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms are written to be readable. They are not legal advice. For your reference, the binding legal regimes referenced include (without limitation) the Croatian Civil Obligations Act (Zakon o obveznim odnosima), the Croatian Consumer Protection Act (Zakon o zaštiti potrošača), EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, and EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

1. About Operator Tools

Operator Tools is a software-as-a-service product offering decision tools for small-business owners. The tools are simple calculators and a monthly-review / decision-log workflow that help owners think through cash, pricing, clients, projects, and hiring decisions. The Service is provided over the public internet; you access it through a web browser.

Operator of the Service:

  • Trade name:Hallett's Cove Partners, vl. Ivan Pešić

  • Registered address: Bana Josipa Šokčevića 17, 32270 Županja, Republic of Croatia

  • VAT status: Not registered for VAT. Prices are shown inclusive of any applicable taxes and do not separately add VAT.
  • Contact email: ivan.pesic@hallettscovepartners.com

2. Acceptance of these Terms

You accept these Terms by (a) clicking “Sign up”, “Get Lifetime Access”, or any equivalent action, (b) creating an account, or (c) using the Service in any other way.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms, and “you” means both you personally and the business.

3. Definitions

  • Account: the credentialed identity you create to use the Service.
  • Business Profile: the record you create within the Service for a specific business, holding its financial defaults and historical data.
  • Free Tier: the portion of the Service usable without payment, currently the Business Health Score, Profit Margin Calculator, and Break-Even Calculator, with a limited number of saved scenarios.
  • Lifetime Access: a one-time-purchase plan granting access to the full Service for the duration set out in Section 8.
  • Content: any data, text, numbers, notes, or other material you submit, generate, or store within the Service.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this minimum age. If you are a resident of a jurisdiction with a higher minimum age for digital services, you confirm you meet that age too.

The Service is offered globally but is intended primarily for small-business owners. We may decline service or terminate accounts where required by sanctions, embargoes, or other applicable law.

5. Account registration and security

Creating an account

To use the Service you create an account with a valid email address and a password. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

Account security

You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity on your account. We recommend using a unique, strong password. Notify us immediately at ivan.pesic@hallettscovepartners.com if you suspect any unauthorised access.

One account per person

Accounts are intended for one individual operating one or more Business Profiles. Sharing your login credentials, or creating multiple accounts to circumvent the Free Tier limits, is a violation of these Terms.

6. The service

The Service consists of:

  • A set of plain-language decision tools (calculators) that perform transparent arithmetic on the inputs you provide;
  • A dashboard summarising your saved scenarios and recent activity;
  • A scenarios store, where each saved calculator run is recorded with its inputs and results;
  • A monthly business review workflow and a decision log;
  • Branded PDF/print and CSV exports of saved scenarios.

We may add, modify, or retire individual tools or features at any time. Where a meaningful feature is being removed for active Lifetime Access customers, we will give reasonable advance notice.

7. Pricing, payment, and taxes

Free Tier

The Free Tier is available at no cost. We may change the scope of the Free Tier (the tools included, the saved-scenario limit, etc.) at any time, and will publish such changes at the “Last updated” date.

Lifetime Access price

Lifetime Access is sold as a one-time purchase at the price published on our pricing page at the time of purchase. The current price is EUR 99.00. Prices include any applicable taxes; because we are not VAT-registered, no VAT is added at checkout.

Payment processing

Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Limited (or its relevant affiliate). By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's terms and authorise your bank or card issuer to charge the relevant amount.

Receipts and records

You will receive a receipt by email at the address on file once payment is confirmed. You can also view your access status on your Account page within the Service.

8. Lifetime Access

Definition.“Lifetime” means for the operational lifetime of the Service. Specifically, Lifetime Access grants you the right to use the full Service, free of further recurring charges, for as long as we operate it.

Our intent. We intend to operate the Service indefinitely. We do not promise that we will. If we discontinue the Service:

  • We will give Lifetime Access customers at least 60 days' advance notice by email;
  • During that notice period the Service will remain available;
  • You will be able to export your Content via the in-app CSV and PDF tools for the duration of the notice period;
  • On request during that notice period, we will provide a copy of your Content in a structured, machine-readable format; and
  • We do not, except where law requires it, offer a refund where the Service has been discontinued after a reasonable operational period.

What is included.Lifetime Access includes every tool currently in the Service and any future tool, fix, or improvement we ship under the “Operator Tools” brand at no additional charge. If, in the future, we launch a distinct product under a different brand or a fundamentally different pricing model, that product will not automatically be included.

Transferability. Lifetime Access is personal to the account holder and may not be sold, gifted, or otherwise transferred without our written consent.

9. Withdrawal, refunds, and the 7-day guarantee

Your 14-day statutory withdrawal right (EU consumers)

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase of Lifetime Access within 14 days of the date of purchase, without giving any reason, under Directive 2011/83/EU and Croatian consumer-law implementations of it.

How to exercise this right. Send an unambiguous statement of withdrawal to ivan.pesic@hallettscovepartners.com. You may use any wording you like; the standard withdrawal-form template is also acceptable. We will refund the full amount without undue delay and no later than 14 days after we receive your statement, using the same payment method you used unless you agree otherwise.

Loss of the withdrawal right. Under Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and the corresponding Croatian provisions, this right is lost where you have given express consent to begin performance of a digital service immediately, and acknowledged that you will thereby lose the right of withdrawal. Where we capture such consent at checkout, the statutory withdrawal right will not apply; we will continue to offer the 7-day guarantee below.

7-day no-questions-asked guarantee

On top of (or in lieu of, where waived) the statutory withdrawal right above, we offer a 7-day no-questions-asked guarantee: if within 7 days of your purchase you are not satisfied with the Service for any reason, reply to your receipt email and we will refund you in full.

After the guarantee window

After 14 days from the date of purchase, refunds are at our sole discretion and will normally be limited to material defects or failure to deliver the service as described. We will consider each request on its merits.

Chargebacks and fraud

If you initiate a chargeback through your card issuer rather than requesting a refund through us, we may suspend your account pending resolution. Where a chargeback is reversed in our favour, access remains revoked unless and until you pay any applicable fees and the chargebacked amount.

10. Availability, maintenance, and discontinuation

We aim to keep the Service available 24/7 but do not make any uptime or service-level guarantee in the current pricing tier. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, urgent fixes, third-party outages (in particular the cloud infrastructure providers listed in our Privacy Policy), or events outside our reasonable control (force majeure).

We will use reasonable efforts to give advance notice of planned maintenance and to communicate during incidents.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud, tax evasion, or processing personal data unlawfully;
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or non-public assets from the Service, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits;
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its outputs as a stand-alone calculator service to third parties;
  • Use automated scripts, scrapers, or bots to access the Service in ways that materially exceed what a normal interactive user would do, except via interfaces (e.g. CSV/PDF exports) we explicitly provide;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts, data, or to non-public parts of the system;
  • Upload or store malicious code, infringing content, or content that violates the rights of others;
  • Use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it, or interfere with another user's use.

12. Your data and content

You retain all rights in the Content you submit. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, transmit, back up, and display the Content solely as necessary to operate the Service for you, to comply with our legal obligations, and to enforce these Terms.

We do not sell your Content. We do not use the financial figures or decisions you store in the Service to train any machine-learning model, neither our own nor a third party's. We do not look at individual Content except where you ask us to (e.g. for support) or where law obliges us to.

We may produce aggregated, anonymised statistics about overall use of the Service (e.g. “X% of users have run the Cash Runway tool at least once”) for product and operational purposes. Aggregated statistics never identify you or your business.

13. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its software, calculations, user-interface design, brand, logos, and content (other than your Content), is owned by Hallett's Cove Partners, vl. Ivan Pešić or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Service for your own internal business or personal use during the term of your access.

“Operator Tools” and the Operator Tools logo are unregistered trademarks of Hallett's Cove Partners. You may not use them in a way that suggests sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement without our prior written consent.

14. No financial, tax, legal, or professional advice

The Service is a set of decision-support tools. It does not constitute and must not be relied upon as financial, tax, legal, accounting, investment, or any other professional advice. The calculations are based on the figures you enter and produce mechanical outputs; they cannot replace the judgment of you, your accountant, your lawyer, or any other professional advisor.

You are solely responsible for your business decisions. We are not liable for any decision you make based on, or any outcome flowing from, the use of the Service.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. You acknowledge that you use the Service at your own risk.

Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

16. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Hallett's Cove Partners, vl. Ivan Pešić, its successors, assigns, or affiliates be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost opportunity, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) EUR 99.00.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hallett's Cove Partners, vl. Ivan Pešić from any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your unlawful use of the Service, or (c) your Content, where such Content infringes the rights of a third party.

18. Suspension and termination

By you

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. The fastest path is the “Delete account” button on your Account page, which permanently removes your account and data immediately. You can also email ivan.pesic@hallettscovepartners.com and we will delete it manually. See the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data on deletion.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe that you have materially breached these Terms (in particular the acceptable-use section), that your use poses a security or legal risk, or where required by law. Where practical, we will give you notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue.

Suspension or termination for a material breach does not entitle you to a refund. Termination on our initiative for reasons other than your breach (for example, our decision to discontinue the Service) is addressed in Section 8.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. We will publish the updated text at this URL and update the “Last updated” date at the top. For material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will give reasonable advance notice (typically by email) before they take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you may terminate your account under Section 18.

20. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Croatia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Županja, Republic of Croatia, except where mandatory rules of consumer-protection law allocate jurisdiction differently.

21. Consumer protection

If you are a consumer (acting outside the scope of any business or professional activity), you benefit from mandatory consumer rights under Croatian and EU law that cannot be overridden by these Terms. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit those rights.

You also have the right to use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr for out-of-court resolution of disputes arising from online purchases.

22. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any policies or notices we publish from time to time, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement or understanding on the same subject.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a sale of substantially all assets of the business or a similar corporate event.

No agency

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and us.

Notices

We will give you notices by email to the address on your account or by posting them in the Service. You will give us notices to the email address in the next Section.

Language

These Terms are provided in English. If we provide a translation into another language for convenience, the English version prevails in case of conflict, except where mandatory consumer-law rules of a non-English-speaking jurisdiction require otherwise.
