Terms of Service

1. Nature of the Service - No Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice

DeductSnap is a record-keeping tool. It helps you capture receipts and log vehicle trips. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE TAX, LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE, AND NOTHING IN THE SERVICE (INCLUDING CATEGORY SUGGESTIONS, ESTIMATED DEDUCTION VALUES, OR MILEAGE-RATE CALCULATIONS) CONSTITUTES SUCH ADVICE. Tax laws vary and change; whether any expense or trip is deductible is a determination only you and your qualified tax professional can make. We do not guarantee that records produced by the Service will be accepted by the IRS or any other tax authority.

2. Automated Capture - Your Duty to Review

Trip detection relies on your device's GPS, motion sensors, and operating-system services; receipt scanning sends the image to a third-party artificial-intelligence model (Google Gemini) which reads the values from it. These technologies are inherently imperfect: trips may be missed, split, shortened, or recorded inaccurately, and scanned amounts, dates, or merchants may be wrong. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, CORRECTING, AND VERIFYING EVERY RECORD BEFORE RELYING ON IT for any tax filing, reimbursement, or other purpose, and for retaining original receipts and records as required by applicable law.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information and for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@deductsnap.com of any unauthorized use.

4. Your Data

You retain ownership of the data you enter. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display that data solely as needed to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service. You represent that you have the right to submit the data you provide and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party.

5. Acceptable Use

You may not: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose, including the preparation of false or fraudulent tax records; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by law; (c) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of, or circumvent the security of, the Service; (d) access the Service by automated means (scraping, bots) or resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties; or (e) interfere with any other user's use of the Service.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis and renew automatically until cancelled. Before you are charged we disclose the price, the billing period, and the renewal terms; completing the purchase confirms your consent to them.

Where you purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play, that store is the merchant of record: billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by the store under its own terms, and you manage or cancel the subscription in your store account settings. Where you purchase directly from us, payments are processed by Stripe, and we do not store your card details. To cancel, open Settings and tap Cancel Subscription; you start and finish there, and cancelling takes no more steps than subscribing did.

If you are on a discounted or promotional rate that runs for a limited number of billing periods, we email you at least seven days before it ends, telling you the date it ends and the standard price you will be charged after it, so you can cancel first if you would rather not continue. If you are on an annual plan, we email you at least thirty days before it renews, telling you the renewal date and the amount, so the renewal is never a surprise.

Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep paid features until then. Except where required by law or granted by the applicable app store, payments are non-refundable, including for partial periods, unused features, or downgrades. Prices and plan features may change with notice effective at your next renewal.

7. Referral Credit

Each account may receive a personal invite link. When someone who signs up through your link subscribes, you earn account credit equal to 20% of their payments during their first three billing cycles. Credit applies only against your own subscription charges, has no cash value, is not redeemable for money, and will not reduce a charge below zero; unused credit carries forward. On Android, where per-account bill credit is not supported, the equivalent value is granted as additional subscription days at your plan's then-current price, with any remainder carried forward.

Credit tied to a payment that is later refunded, reversed, or charged back may be revoked. We may withhold or reverse credit and suspend participation for self-referral, duplicate or fraudulent accounts, or other abuse, and we may modify or discontinue the program at any time. You are responsible for any tax consequences of credit you receive.

8. App Store Terms

The following applies where you obtain the Service through the Apple App Store. These Terms are between you and Volabiz Tech LLC only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the Service. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the Service, including product liability, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection claims, or intellectual property infringement claims. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Where you obtain the Service through Google Play, Google is likewise not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Service.

9. Service Changes and Availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and the Service depends on third-party providers, networks, and your device's capabilities. You are responsible for maintaining independent copies of records you are required to keep.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, use the Service unlawfully, or create risk or legal exposure for us. Sections 1, 2, 4, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 survive termination. Because those sections survive, we retain a limited record of your acceptance of these Terms after your account is deleted, as described in section 5 of the Data Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT RECORDS PRODUCED BY THE SERVICE ARE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, OR SUFFICIENT FOR ANY TAX OR LEGAL PURPOSE.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, TAX DEDUCTIONS OR REFUNDS, OR FOR TAX PENALTIES, INTEREST, OR THE OUTCOME OF ANY AUDIT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Volabiz Tech LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your data or content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, including any tax filing or claim you make in reliance on records from the Service.

We will notify you promptly of any claim for which we seek indemnification. You may not settle any claim in a manner that imposes any obligation or liability on us, or that admits fault on our behalf, without our prior written consent. We may assume sole control of the defense of any such claim at your expense, in which case you will cooperate with us in that defense.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date, and where practicable by notice in the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND US TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU MAY OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (i).

(a) Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and by applicable United States federal law. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15.

(b) Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or filing a lawsuit, other than a claim permitted by subsection (d), the complaining party must give the other written notice of the dispute and try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days. Notice to us goes to legal@deductsnap.com; notice to you goes to the email on your account. A notice from a user must be personally signed by that user and state their name, the email on their account, a specific description of the dispute, and the relief sought. A notice submitted on behalf of multiple users, or not individually signed, does not satisfy this requirement. Completing this process is a condition precedent to starting an arbitration or filing a lawsuit, and any applicable limitations period is tolled while it runs.

(c) Binding arbitration. Any dispute not resolved under (b) will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, and payment of fees will be governed by those Rules. For claims under US $25,000 the arbitration will be conducted on documents alone, or by telephone or videoconference, unless the arbitrator determines a hearing is necessary. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you reside or another location the parties agree on. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could and must honor these Terms, including Section 12. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or for a violation of Section 5.

(e) Class and representative action waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any class or representative proceeding.

(f) Non-severability of the waiver. If the waiver in (e) is found unenforceable as to any claim or request for relief, then this arbitration agreement is null and void as to that claim or relief only, which will instead proceed in court under (h). The rest of this Section 15 remains in effect. This subsection controls over the severability provision in Section 16.

(g) Coordinated filings. If 25 or more demands for arbitration raising similar claims are filed against us by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be administered in batches of up to 50, each batch treated as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator and one set of filing and administrative fees. The parties will cooperate with the AAA to implement this batching and may agree to designate bellwether cases whose outcomes inform resolution of the remaining demands. Any applicable limitations period is tolled for demands awaiting a later batch.

(h) Claims not subject to arbitration. Any claim that is not subject to arbitration under this Section will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection to venue there.

(i) Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@deductsnap.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, or within 30 days after we materially change this Section 15, whichever is later, stating your name, the email on your account, and that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out affects nothing else in these Terms. If you opt out, subsection (h) governs your disputes, and subsections (b) and (e) continue to apply, so the class and representative action waiver in (e) applies to any claim you bring in court.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental action, power or network failures, or the acts or omissions of third-party providers. These Terms, together with the Data Privacy Policy and Copyright Notice, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
