The Service, including all content, features, and functionality (such as text, graphics, logos, icons, images, software code, and design), is owned by Cash Compass LLC and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless applicable law expressly permits it or you have our written consent.
8. Affiliate Relationships and Content
The Website may participate in affiliate marketing programs and may earn commissions on purchases made through links provided on the site. When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected to an external website where that third party's terms and privacy policies apply.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Because the application operates offline and stores data locally, you are responsible for maintaining your own data backups.
