Account Creation

You may register via email/password or through Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In. You agree to provide accurate, current information and keep it up to date.

Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. PatraX is not liable for losses arising from your failure to secure your account.

One Account Per User

Each user may maintain only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse promotions is prohibited and may result in termination of all accounts.

Account Deletion

You may delete your account through in-app settings or by emailing [email protected]. Upon deletion, your data will be removed from active systems subject to our Privacy Policy and legal retention obligations.

5. Subscription and Fees

Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis through the Apple App Store or Google Play. PatraX does not directly store your payment card information.

Cancellation & Refunds

Cancel your subscription at any time through your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial periods, except where required by law.

Free Trials

If we offer a free trial, it automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel first. We will notify you before conversion.

6. Third-Party Services

Plaid Financial Data

PatraX uses Plaid Technologies, Inc. to connect to your financial institutions. By connecting an account, you authorize PatraX and Plaid to access your financial data per Plaid's End User Privacy Policy. We receive read-only access — we never initiate transfers or move funds.

Apple Sign-In & Google Sign-In

Your use of these authentication methods is additionally governed by Apple's and Google's respective terms. We receive limited profile information (name, email) to create your account.

AI Features (Anthropic Claude)

Receipt scanning and expense categorization are powered by Anthropic's Claude AI. Relevant data (receipt images, transaction descriptions) may be processed by Anthropic per their terms. We do not use your financial data to train AI models without your explicit consent.

16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Class Action Waiver

You and PatraX may only bring claims against each other in your individual capacities. No class actions or representative proceedings are permitted.

Venue

For claims not subject to arbitration, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Mercer County, New Jersey.

We may revise these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via push notification, in-app message, or email. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

General provisions: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PatraX. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. PatraX's failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent.
