TERMS OF USE

Last Update: March 28, 2024

ACCEPTANCE

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your visits to Fincushion (the "App" or "Platform"). Barr Coders LLC ("we," "us," or "our") owns and operates this Platform. The term "you" refers to any user of the Platform.

These Terms have a force of a legally binding agreement, even if you are simply browsing without intention to contact us or register an account. Privacy Policy is another important document that you should familiarize yourself with because it describes our practices with respect to your personal information. You cannot visit the Platform if you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy. Sometimes we modify these Terms. We don't notify users about every change to the Terms but you can see the date of the last update at the top of this page. If you still wish to visit the Platform after said date, that constitutes your agreement to the updates.

VENUE

The Fincushion Web App, developed by Barr Coders LLC, is a financial management tool that helps users track their cash flow and plan for the future. By connecting their checking and savings accounts through Plaid, users can view their transactions, calculate their cash flow, and receive weekly emails with financial projections. We are not a financial advisory service and do not provide personalized financial advice. The App is designed to assist you in organizing and understanding your financial data, but any decisions you make based on this information are at your own risk. 

Key Features:

  • Secure account aggregation using Plaid
  • Automatic transaction categorization and cash flow calculation
  • Weekly email reports with financial projections
  • Subscription-based service with monthly and annual payment options via Stripe

By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that Barr Coders LLC is not responsible for the acts, omissions, or policies of the third-party services integrated with the App. Use of the App is at your own risk, and Barr Coders LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use or inability to use the App.
