Finaura is a free, browser-based personal finance management tool. It allows users to track income, expenses, credit cards, loans, and project cashflow. The Service is provided free of charge with no subscription required.

All financial data entered into Finaura is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. Finaura does not operate a server, database, or cloud storage system for user financial data. Your financial information never leaves your device.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Finaura does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. The financial calculations and projections provided by the Service are for informational and planning purposes only and should not be relied upon as financial advice.

Finaura is not a regulated financial service. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. You should always seek independent professional advice before making financial decisions.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Finaura shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Finaura's total liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you have paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim. As the Service is provided free of charge, this amount is £0.

7. Data Loss

Because Finaura stores all data in your browser's local storage, your data may be lost if you clear your browser data, use a different browser or device, or if your browser storage is otherwise cleared. Finaura accepts no liability for any data loss. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups.

8. Changes to the Service and Terms

Finaura reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect when changes were last made.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Scotland. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
