Terms of Service

Welcome to FinanceIQ. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the FinanceIQ web application, including any content, functionality, and services offered through the platform (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.

2. Description of Service

FinanceIQ is a financial data management and analysis tool that allows users to upload financial statements, connect third-party accounting platforms (such as QuickBooks Online), track key performance indicators, model financial scenarios, and receive AI-generated analysis. The Service is designed to help users organize and visualize their financial data.

3. NOT FINANCIAL, LEGAL, TAX, OR INVESTMENT ADVICE

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Service uses artificial intelligence (AI) models, including third-party large language models, to generate analysis and responses. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. AI models can produce errors, hallucinations, and incorrect calculations. You must independently verify all AI-generated content before relying on it.
• AI is not a substitute for professional judgment. The AI feature (referred to as “AI CFO”) is a conversational tool, not a licensed professional. The name is a product feature name only and does not imply professional credentials or qualifications.
• AI does not have access to your complete financial picture. The AI operates only on data you have uploaded to the platform and may lack context about your full financial situation, market conditions, regulatory requirements, or other material factors.
• You bear sole responsibility for all decisions. Any decisions you make based on information from the Service, including AI outputs, are made at your own risk. FinanceIQ accepts no responsibility for the consequences of such decisions.
• AI outputs should not be shared as professional advice. You may not represent AI-generated content from the Service as professional financial, legal, or accounting advice to third parties.

5. Calculations and Projections Disclaimer

The Service performs automated calculations including but not limited to: key performance indicators (KPIs), financial ratios, health scores, equipment analysis (NPV, IRR, TCO, payback period), scenario projections, variance analysis, and trend computations. You acknowledge that:

• All calculations are based solely on data you provide and may be incorrect if input data is inaccurate, incomplete, or improperly categorized.
• Projections and forecasts are hypothetical models based on user-defined assumptions and are not predictions of future performance.
• Financial health scores and grades are proprietary scoring methodologies and do not represent industry standards or professional assessments.
• The Service does not verify the accuracy of uploaded data and assumes no responsibility for errors in user-provided data.
• Equipment analyses use simplified models and may not account for all costs, tax implications, depreciation rules, or market conditions.

6. Third-Party Accounting Integrations

The Service may allow you to connect third-party accounting platforms, including Intuit QuickBooks Online. By connecting a third-party accounting platform, you:

• Authorize FinanceIQ to access your accounting data (including chart of accounts, financial reports, and transaction summaries) via the platform's API using read-only access.
• Acknowledge that the accuracy and completeness of data retrieved from third-party platforms depends on the data maintained in those platforms, and FinanceIQ is not responsible for errors or omissions in your accounting records.
• Understand that you may revoke FinanceIQ's access to your connected accounting platform at any time, either through FinanceIQ's settings or through the third-party platform directly.
• Agree that FinanceIQ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Intuit or any other third-party accounting platform provider.
• Acknowledge that third-party integrations may be subject to additional terms imposed by the third-party provider.
