Terms & Conditions

These Terms govern your access to and use of FairShare, a bill-splitting and expense management service. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

These Terms & Conditions are an agreement between you and Debayan Samajpati, an individual based in India who operates FairShare ("FairShare", "we", "us"). They apply to the FairShare Android and iOS apps and this website (the "Service").

When you create an account, the app asks you to confirm that you're 18 or older and to accept these Terms, and we keep a record of that acceptance. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use FairShare. By using the Service you confirm that you are 18 or older. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will close it and delete its data.

3. User Content & Responsibilities

You are responsible for the content you submit, share, or upload through the Service ("User Content"). This includes messages, images, receipts, notes, and any other data you provide.

  • By submitting User Content you grant FairShare a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display that content as necessary to provide the Service.
  • Do not submit private personal data about other people (for example sensitive identifiers or private financial information) without their consent.
  • Do not attempt to impersonate others or falsify information.

Guest Mode

Guest Mode allows you to add a person to a group as a named placeholder without requiring them to install FairShare. By adding a guest you confirm that:

  • You have the guest's knowledge or permission to add their name and, if provided, their email address to FairShare.
  • The name and email you enter are accurate and not used to impersonate another person.
  • You understand that if an email is provided, it will be used to automatically transfer the guest's expense history when they create a FairShare account with that email.

Guest placeholder records are stored until the guest claims their account or the group or associated user account is deleted. Guests may request deletion of their data by contacting hello@fairshareapp.co.in.

4. Payments, Balances & Liability

  • FairShare helps groups calculate and track shared expenses but is not a bank, payment processor, or escrow agent. We do not hold funds for users.
  • Users remain responsible for settling debts and payments with other group members outside the app (unless the Service provides and you use integrated payment features through third-party providers).
  • We are not liable for disputes between users about who owes what. We provide tools and records to help resolve disputes but do not arbitrate them.

5. Prohibited Content & Conduct

To keep FairShare safe and welcoming, you must not use the Service to create, upload, or share content that:

  • Contains hate speech, racist, sexist, homophobic, or discriminatory remarks targeting a protected class.
  • Promotes, depicts, or threatens violence, criminal activity, or self-harm.
  • Contains nudity, explicit sexual content, or sexual activity. This includes images or text that describe or suggest nudity or sexual acts.
  • Includes graphic or pornographic images, or written sexual content intended to arouse.
  • Reveals sensitive personal data (e.g., government ID numbers, financial account numbers) about others without consent.
  • Includes harassing, abusive, or bullying content directed at an individual.
  • Facilitates fraud, phishing, or other deceptive financial schemes.
  • Violates applicable laws or the rights of others (including intellectual property).

We may remove offending content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. Repeat or serious violations may result in permanent ban and reporting to law enforcement where required by law.

6. Privacy & Data

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data, and the choices and rights you have. Please read it. Where we rely on your consent for something, we ask for it separately.

7. Communications & Notifications

We send service messages that are part of the Service, such as account verification and security alerts, and notifications about activity in your groups. These can't be turned off while you have an account, except through your device's notification settings.

We may also send monthly summaries and product announcements. You can turn these off in the app's Settings, and every summary email has an unsubscribe link.

8. Intellectual Property

FairShare and its licensors retain all rights, title and interest in the Service, including software, designs, trademarks, and content (excluding your User Content). You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without express written permission.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for violating these Terms or for any other lawful reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete or limit access to your account and data consistent with our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

  • The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent permitted by law, FairShare disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
  • AI features: receipt scanning, group icon suggestions and spending insights are optional and use Google Gemini (see our Privacy Policy). AI results can be incomplete or wrong. Check and correct them before you save a bill or rely on them to settle up.
  • In no event will FairShare be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • Balances, summaries and insights are provided for convenience only. They are not financial, tax or legal advice.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, and nothing affects the rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We'll update the "Last Updated" date. For material changes, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect and, where required, ask you to accept the new Terms. If you don't accept a material change, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer living outside India, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, the rest continue in effect.
