Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using the Espere application ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. Espere is provided as an open-source tool to help you track personal and group finances.

Espere is a software utility designed to help you track expenses, split bills, and manage budgets.

• We do not provide financial, legal, or tax advice.
• The accuracy of the data depends entirely on what you input. We are not responsible for calculation errors resulting from incorrect user input.
• Espere is a tracking tool; it does not directly move money, withdraw from your bank, or legally enforce debt collection between friends.

When using Espere to split expenses with groups, you acknowledge that:

• Espere calculates "who owes whom" based on the expenses logged by group members.
• You and your group members are solely responsible for actually settling those debts (e.g., via cash, bank transfer, or third-party payment apps).
• Espere is not liable for unpaid debts between users.

Espere operates with an offline-first design:

• Your data is stored locally on your device first, allowing you to use the app without an internet connection.
• When you reconnect to the internet, Espere syncs your local data to the cloud.
• You are responsible for ensuring your device eventually connects to the internet to back up your data. If you delete the app or lose your device before syncing, unsynced local data cannot be recovered.

The Espere application source code is available under an Open Source license. While the code is free to inspect and modify according to its specific repository license, the hosted services, APIs, and trademarked branding of "Espere" remain the property of Espere Inc. You may not use our branding, logos, or hosted API endpoints for separate commercial applications without explicit permission.

You agree not to:

• Use Espere for any illegal activities or to track illicit transactions.
• Attempt to breach, hack, or exploit the API or server infrastructure.
• Harass or abuse other users through group invites or expense notes.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these terms.
