5.1. Connectivity: You acknowledge that the Services require internet access. You are responsible for any mobile network charges or data fees incurred. You accept responsibility for any such charges. Additionally, you acknowledge that large data transfers during synchronization may consume significant data volumes; we recommend using a secure Wi-Fi connection for syncing whenever possible.

5.2. Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

5.3. Unauthorized Use: Any unauthorized use of the Services may result in civil or criminal penalties.

6.2. Compliance Responsibility: You agree to comply with all applicable privacy laws (including PIPEDA, PHIPA, HIPAA, and GDPR). HandyMetrics disclaims all liability resulting from a User's decision to input prohibited PHI into the system.

7. AVAILABILITY AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

7.1. Network Dependence and Offline Mode: The Services are designed to function both online and, in specific applications, via an offline mode. You acknowledge that data collected while offline is stored locally on your device and will not be backed up to HandyMetrics servers until a successful synchronization ("Sync") is performed over a stable internet connection.

7.2. Updates: HandyMetrics may periodically update the Services to add functionality or security patches. You are responsible for ensuring your hardware meets the minimum system requirements for these updates.

7.3. Data Synchronization Responsibility: It is your sole responsibility to ensure that data is synced regularly. HandyMetrics is not responsible for any data loss, corruption, or failure to upload resulting from device malfunction, app deletion, or lack of connectivity prior to a successful sync.

9.3. Risk: Use of any information or materials provided by the Services is entirely at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure the Services meet your specific facility requirements.

9.4. Local Device Security: Because the Application may store data locally on your device during offline use, you are responsible for the physical security of the device and for implementing device-level security measures (e.g., passcodes, biometric locks, and remote wipe capabilities). HandyMetrics is not liable for unauthorized access to data resulting from a lost, stolen, or unsecured device.
