The service
Evidencestack is a software platform that helps technology companies document their R&D activities for tax credit purposes. We connect to your development tools (such as GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Linear) to analyse development activity and generate technical narratives.
Pilot Status: Evidencestack is currently in private pilot. The service may change, features may be added or removed, and there may be occasional downtime or bugs. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we improve the product.

Important disclaimers
Evidencestack provides documentation support, not tax advice. The narratives and documentation generated by our platform are intended to support your R&D tax credit claims, but they do not constitute tax, legal, or financial advice. You are responsible for ensuring your claims comply with HMRC requirements.
We recommend working with qualified tax advisors to review your claims before submission. Evidencestack is not liable for the outcome of any R&D tax credit claims.
Payment and pricing
During the pilot period, access to Evidencestack is provided free of charge. Future pricing will be communicated before the end of the pilot period. You will not be charged without prior notice and agreement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Evidencestack shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:
- Loss of profits or revenue
- Loss of data
- Rejected or reduced R&D tax credit claims
- Business interruption
Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You can close your account through the platform settings or by contacting us.
Upon termination, your access to the service will end and your data will be deleted within 30 days, unless we are required to retain it for legal purposes.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by email or through the platform. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
Governing law
