Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Terms and Conditions") carefully before downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Money Wise mobile application (the "Application", "Service", or "App").

1. Interpretation and Definitions

1.1 Interpretation

Words with capitalized initial letters have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.

1.2 Definitions

  • Application refers to Money Wise, the software program made available by the Company.
  • Application Store means the digital distribution platform operated and developed by Apple Inc. (Apple App Store) or Google LLC (Google Play Store) through which the Application is distributed.
  • Company (referred to as either "the Company", "We", "Us", or "Our") refers to Emmanuel David Solis Pomares, an individual developer operating Money Wise from Costa Rica. Money Wise is not currently operated through a separately registered legal entity — "the Company" in these Terms refers to this individual.

  • User Data means any financial records, transaction entries, budget categories, income details, expense logs, or notes entered manually by You into the Application.
  • You (or "Your") means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the legal entity on whose behalf such individual is accessing or using the Service.

2. Acceptance and Eligibility

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on Your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all users and others who download, access, or use the Service.

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, You agree to be bound by these Terms. If You disagree with any part of these Terms, You may not download, install, access, or use the Service.

You represent and warrant that You are at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) and possess the full legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. The Service is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age.

3. Nature of the Service & Local Data Storage

Important Notice on Local Data: Money Wise is a privacy-first, on-device budgeting tool. All User Data is stored exclusively and locally on Your Device (or Your personal OS-managed backup, such as Apple iCloud or Google Drive backup, if enabled by You).

  • No Cloud Server Storage: The Company does not operate remote servers to host, synchronize, view, or process Your financial entries. We have no access to Your User Data.
  • User Solely Responsible for Backups: Because Your User Data resides solely on Your Device, You are solely and exclusively responsible for securing, backing up, and safeguarding Your Device and data.
  • Risk of Data Loss: Deleting the Application, resetting Your Device, experiencing hardware damage, losing Your Device, or encountering operating system errors may result in the permanent and irrecoverable loss of Your User Data. The Company expressly disclaims any and all liability for data loss, data corruption, or inability to restore User Data.

4. No Financial, Tax, or Legal Advice Disclaimer

THE APPLICATION IS AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND CALCULATION TOOL FOR PERSONAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

  • The Company is not a bank, credit union, broker-dealer, certified financial planner (CFP), accountant, or tax consultant.
  • The Application does not offer professional financial advice, investment strategies, credit advice, accounting services, or legal counsel.
  • All calculations, projections, category summaries, and insights generated by the Application are purely mathematical results based strictly on the manual data input by You. The Company does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculations.
  • You agree that You are solely responsible for Your own financial decisions and that You will consult a qualified financial or tax professional before making any financial commitments.

5. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

5.1 Purchase Processing

The Application may offer paid features, including one-time purchases (e.g., Lifetime Access) and recurring Subscriptions. All payments and financial transactions are processed exclusively through the respective Application Store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) using Your Application Store account. The Company does not collect, store, or process Your credit card or billing details. To manage entitlements (i.e., to recognize which features Your purchase unlocks), the Application uses RevenueCat, a subscription infrastructure provider, which receives purchase receipts and an anonymous app-level identifier from the Application Store on the Company's behalf — see our Privacy Policy for details.

5.2 Recurring Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal

If You purchase a Subscription:

  • Billing Cycle: You will be billed in advance on a recurring periodic basis (such as monthly or annually), as chosen by You at the time of purchase.
  • Automatic Renewal: Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle under the same terms and price unless You cancel it at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current billing cycle.
  • Payment Authorization: Your Application Store account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

5.3 Subscription Cancellation

You may cancel Your Subscription at any time through Your Application Store account settings:

  • For iOS (Apple): Go to Settings > Emmanuel David Solis Pomares > Subscriptions and select Money Wise to cancel.
  • For Android (Google Play): Open the Google Play Store > Profile Icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions and select Money Wise to cancel.

Note: Simply uninstalling or deleting the Application from Your Device does not cancel Your Subscription. You must actively cancel it through the Application Store.

5.4 Free Trials

The Company may offer Subscriptions with a free trial period. If You do not cancel the Subscription before the expiration of the free trial period, Your Application Store account will be automatically charged the standard Subscription fee for the chosen plan. Cancellation must occur at least 24 hours before the free trial concludes to avoid charges.

5.5 Price Changes

The Company reserves the right to modify Subscription fees at any time. Any fee changes will be communicated in advance in accordance with the terms and policies of the applicable Application Store and will apply only to subsequent billing cycles.

5.6 Refunds

All purchases and Subscription payments are governed by the refund policies of the applicable Application Store:

  • For purchases made via the Apple App Store, all refund requests are managed directly by Apple. You must submit refund requests through Apple's support portal (reportaproblem.apple.com).
  • For purchases made via the Google Play Store, refund requests are handled according to Google Play's published refund policies.
  • Except where required by applicable mandatory consumer protection laws, all purchases made through Application Stores are non-refundable by the Company directly.
