Terms of Use

Last updated: July 19, 2026

The short version: GigExpenseTracker is a one-time-purchase app with no subscription. It helps you scan and organize receipts and estimate deductions — it doesn't give tax, legal, or financial advice. Purchases go through Apple/Google and are covered by their refund policies, not ours.

Who this agreement is with

These terms are between you and Pay By Cents LLC ("we," "us"), based in San Jose, California, the maker of the GigExpenseTracker mobile app. By downloading, installing, or using GigExpenseTracker, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

Age requirement

You must be 18 or older to use GigExpenseTracker.

There's no account — your device is your identity

GigExpenseTracker has no sign-up, login, name, or email tied to your use of the app. Your install is identified by a device identifier your phone's operating system provides. Free-tier limits, unlock status, and AI Assist credits are all tracked against that identifier. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what that means for your data.

Purchases

One-time unlock — GigExpenseTracker is free to try with a limited free scan tier. A single one-time purchase (currently $4.99, subject to change) removes the free-tier cap. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
AI Assist credits — AI Assist (AI-powered receipt reading) is a separately metered credit pool, funded by welcome credits and referral rewards. Standard scanning always remains available at no cost, with or without credits.
All purchases are processed by Apple or Google, through the App Store or Google Play, using the payment method on file with your Apple/Google account. We never see or store your payment details.
Refunds are governed entirely by Apple's and Google's own refund policies, since they process the transaction. We can't issue refunds directly — request one through the App Store or Google Play. If a refund is granted, your unlock and any credits tied to that purchase are reversed.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Attempt to bypass, spoof, or defeat device attestation (Play Integrity / DeviceCheck) or free-tier/credit limits
Use automated tools, scripts, or scraped/fabricated data to interact with our servers instead of the genuine app
Abuse the referral system to generate rewards without genuine installs or purchases
Reverse engineer, decompile, or tamper with the app beyond what's permitted by law
Use the app for any unlawful purpose

We may suspend or block a device's access (revoking session tokens, disabling unlock/credits) if we reasonably believe these terms have been violated, including after a purchase refund or chargeback.

No professional advice

GigExpenseTracker estimates potential tax deductions and categorizes expenses using automated rules and AI. Potential deductions are estimates only and not tax advice. Consult a tax professional to confirm deductibility. The same applies to any category, merchant, or total the app or AI Assist extracts or suggests — these are automated suggestions, not verified facts. Always review your data before relying on it for tax filing, reimbursement, or any other purpose. GigExpenseTracker is not a substitute for a licensed accountant, tax preparer, or attorney.

Your content

Your receipts, photos, and exported reports are yours. They're stored locally on your device (see the Privacy Policy for what, if anything, leaves your device for a given feature). We don't claim ownership over your receipt data.

Third-party services

GigExpenseTracker relies on Google (currently Gemini, for AI Assist and automatic OCR help — we may also use providers like OpenAI or xAI/Grok, and may change or add providers over time), and Apple/Google (for device attestation and purchase verification). Your use of GigExpenseTracker is also subject to Apple's and Google's own terms for their respective app stores. We aren't responsible for outages, errors, or policy changes on their end.

Disclaimer of warranties

GigExpenseTracker is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee that OCR, AI extraction, merchant categorization, or deduction estimates will be accurate, complete, or error-free, or that the app will be uninterrupted or bug-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pay By Cents LLC won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of GigExpenseTracker, including inaccurate deduction estimates, lost data, or missed tax filings. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or $1 if you haven't purchased anything).

Changes to the app and these terms

We may update GigExpenseTracker and these terms over time. If we make material changes to these terms, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
