Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 8, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or otherwise using the SpendCaddie website and services ("SpendCaddie" or the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") which form a legally binding agreement between you and SpendCaddie. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time by posting the revised version on our site with a new effective date. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the changes.

2. Eligibility and Scope of Service

United States Only; Age Requirement

SpendCaddie is available only to individuals who are residents of the United States and at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your state of residence). By using the Service, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements. The Service is intended for personal consumer use within the U.S. only; accounts from other jurisdictions or by minors are not permitted.

Personal Use, Not Professional Advice

SpendCaddie provides an online platform for personal financial planning and debt management education. All information, recommendations, and projections provided are for informational and educational purposes only and are not individualized financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. SpendCaddie is not a bank, broker, investment adviser, or credit repair service, and does not provide any services that require professional licensure. You should consult a qualified professional for advice tailored to your personal financial situation.

3. Description of Services (Advisory-Only Platform)

SpendCaddie is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) web application that helps users plan credit card payments and manage debt using read-only access to their bank and credit card data. SpendCaddie is a purely advisory service: it provides insights, projections, alerts, and recommendations based on your financial data, but it does not move money or transmit funds on your behalf.

Maintenance Mode

For debt-free users who pay their cards in full, the Service offers spending monitoring, payment scheduling guidance, and "sweep" recommendations (suggested transfers from a checking account to fully pay that month's card charges).

Debt Payoff Mode

For users with credit card balances, the Service helps create a payoff plan (e.g. snowball or avalanche methods), tracks promotional 0% APR periods, provides payoff projections, and suggests how to allocate monthly payments across cards.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts

SpendCaddie connects to your financial accounts via Plaid to get current balances and transactions. We send notifications (e.g. email/SMS via our providers) if we detect issues like low account balance before a payment, upcoming due dates, or expiring promotional rates.

Recommendations and Projections

Based on your data, SpendCaddie may project future outcomes (like a debt-free date or interest saved) and recommend actions (e.g. how much to pay toward each card). These projections are estimates only.

4. Accounts, Registration, and Security

You must create an account to use SpendCaddie. When registering, you agree to provide truthful, accurate information and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately at support@spendcaddie.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.

13. Future Features and Beta Services

SpendCaddie may introduce automated financial features in the future (such as automated payments). We will obtain necessary regulatory licenses before offering such features and will require your explicit consent. The current Service operates in an advisory-only capacity with no money movement.

14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

IMPORTANT: By using SpendCaddie, you agree that disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, and you waive your right to a jury trial and class action lawsuits.

Any disputes will be resolved through individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). You may opt out within 30 days of accepting these Terms by sending written notice to our contact address.
