AI Features and Data Processing

When using AI features (Standard and Pro tiers), relevant financial context is sent to our servers for processing by AI models. We do not store your financial data on our servers—it is processed and discarded. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Disclaimers

Financial Advice: Cognito Money is a tool for organizing your finances. It does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Consult qualified professionals for financial guidance.

AI Accuracy: AI-powered features (chatbot, receipt scanning, categorization) may not be 100% accurate. Always verify important financial information.

"As Is" Software: The software is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, E-Comm Solutions LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of Cognito Money.

Refunds

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid subscriptions. See our Refund Policy for details.

Service Availability

We strive for high availability of our subscription verification and AI services. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Free edition features work offline and are not affected by service availability.

Termination

Your subscription continues until cancelled or terminated. We may terminate your access if you violate these terms. Upon termination, your account reverts to Free edition. Your local data remains unaffected.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms. Check the "Last Updated" date to see when changes were made.
