1. Introduction
GasMan Pro ("the App") is a professional productivity tool designed to assist gas engineers with record keeping, calculations, scheduling, invoicing, and documentation related to gas work.
The App is developed and provided by VibeTribe Studio Ltd (Company No. 17040308) ("we", "us", "our"), a company incorporated in England and Wales.
By downloading, installing, subscribing to, or using the App, you ("you", "the user") agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how data is handled on your device.

3. Professional Responsibility
The App is a tool to assist you. It does not:
- certify or approve gas work

- replace professional judgement, training, or experience
- verify the accuracy of data you enter
You are the issuer of every certificate, invoice, quote, warning notice, and document created using the App. The App generates documents based on the information you provide. You remain fully and solely responsible for:
- all gas work carried out
- all safety decisions made on site
- the accuracy, completeness, and legal validity of every document you issue
- compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards
- issuing documents to clients within any legally required timeframes (e.g. CP12 certificates to tenants within 28 days)
- retaining records for legally required periods
Use of the App does not remove, reduce, or transfer any legal duties placed on you under UK law.
4. No Affiliation With Regulatory Bodies
GasMan Pro is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Gas Safe Register, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), CORGI, or any other regulatory authority.
References to industry terms such as "CP12", "CP15", "CP16", "CP42", "CP44", or similar are descriptive only and reflect common industry usage. They do not imply any official status, approval, or endorsement.
All trademarks and regulatory authority remain the property of their respective owners.
5. Certificates, Records & Documentation
The App allows you to create, store, and export digital records and documents, including:
- Gas safety certificates (e.g. CP12, CP15, CP16, CP42, CP44, CP2)
- Domestic and commercial installation and commissioning records
- Building regulations compliance records
- Appliance and flue safety records
- Warning notices (Immediately Dangerous, At Risk, Not to Current Standards)
Important
- The App is a document generation tool. It does not issue, certify, or validate any document.
- You are the issuer of every document. The legal validity of any certificate or record depends entirely on your competence, the accuracy of the information you enter, and your compliance with applicable regulations.
- You must review every generated document for accuracy and completeness before issuing it to any third party.
- We provide no warranty that generated documents meet the requirements of any specific regulation, standard, or authority.
- Digital signatures captured within the App are your responsibility. You must satisfy yourself that digital signatures meet the legal requirements applicable to your work.

- retaining gas safety certificates for a minimum of 2 years
- retaining warning notices for a minimum of 6 years
- complying with any other applicable retention requirements
- maintaining backups of your records (see Section 11)
6. Warning Notices
The App allows you to create warning notices classified as:
- Immediately Dangerous (ID) — indicating an immediate risk to life
- At Risk (AR) — indicating a potential risk if the appliance continues in use
- Not to Current Standards (NCS) — indicating non-compliance that does not present an immediate safety risk
The App does not enforce or verify the actions you are legally required to take when classifying an appliance. You remain solely responsible for:
- correctly classifying defects

All tool outputs:
- are based entirely on data you enter

- The App performs VAT calculations automatically where you have enabled VAT. These calculations are provided as a convenience only. We do not provide accounting, tax, or financial advice. You must verify all VAT calculations independently and ensure compliance with HMRC requirements.
- Quotes generated by the App may constitute offers capable of acceptance under contract law. You are responsible for the terms and validity of any quote you issue.
