- Splitly is a tool for tracking shared expenses and settling balances — it does not move money itself unless you explicitly use Splitly Pay.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of every expense you add and for settling your recorded balances with the people you transact with.
- We do not guarantee that other users will pay you back; we are not a lender, debt collector, or escrow agent.
- Be respectful and lawful — harassment, fraud, and abuse of the platform will result in account termination.

You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. By submitting User Content to the Services, you grant Splitly a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and process your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, developing, and improving the Services.

Splitly may offer Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to extract information from receipts and invoices.

Splitly does not guarantee that receipt recognition will be accurate in every situation.

Splitly may allow users to back up and synchronize their data using supported cloud providers such as Google Drive or Apple iCloud.
Cloud backup may include expenses, groups, settlements, categories, preferences, attachments, and other information associated with your account.
Users remain responsible for maintaining access to their cloud accounts. Splitly cannot guarantee recovery of data if a cloud account becomes inaccessible, suspended, or deleted.

Certain features of Splitly may use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the user experience.
Examples include:

AI-generated information is provided for convenience only and may occasionally be inaccurate or incomplete. Users should verify important information before relying on it.

Your use of these third-party services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
Payments & Settlement
12.1 Balance tracking only
Unless you explicitly activate and use Splitly Pay, the Services function only as an accounting and tracking tool. Adding an Expense or displaying a balance in a Group does not move, hold, or transfer any funds, and Splitly is not a party to any transaction between users.
12.2 Splitly Pay
When you use Splitly Pay, payment processing is handled by third-party regulated payment processors. By using Splitly Pay, you also agree to the terms of the applicable processor, which may include identity verification, transaction limits, and dispute resolution procedures. Splitly does not custody funds and is not a money transmitter.
12.3 No guarantee of repayment
We provide tools to help you track and request reimbursement, but we cannot guarantee that any user will repay a recorded balance. We are not a lender, debt collector, guarantor, or escrow agent. Any dispute regarding an underlying obligation is strictly between you and the other party.
Intellectual Property
14.1 Our rights
The Services, including all software, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, are owned by Splitly or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Services except for the limited right to use them in accordance with these Terms.
14.2 Feedback
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and incorporate them without any obligation or compensation to you.
14.3 Open source
Certain components of the Services are licensed under open-source licenses, which are included with the software or available upon request. To the extent any open-source license terms conflict with this Section, the open-source terms will govern with respect to those components.
Privacy & Data Protection
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and sharing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Services, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with comprehensive data protection laws, you have specific rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, export, or delete your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing activities.

Disclaimers
EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE AND OUR LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

You use the Services at your own risk and should independently verify any financial information before relying on it.

THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, IN WHICH CASE SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Splitly and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your User Content or your use of the Services;
- Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law;
- Your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights;
- Any dispute between you and another user of the Services.
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent.
