5. Financial Disclaimer

Elm is not a financial advisor. The information provided through our app, including AI Coach responses, tax estimates, debt payoff projections, and budget suggestions, is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, tax, investment, or legal advice. Always consult with a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

6. Tax Estimator Disclaimer

The tax estimator feature provides estimates based on 2025 IRS data and is not a substitute for professional tax preparation. Calculations may not account for all deductions, credits, or individual circumstances. Consult a tax professional before filing.

7. AI Coach Disclaimer

Elm AI Coach is powered by artificial intelligence and provides general financial education. Responses may not be accurate in all cases and should not be relied upon as professional financial advice.

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the application
  • Share your account with others or create multiple accounts

10. Third-Party Services

Elm integrates with third-party services including Plaid (bank connections) and Supabase (authentication). Your use of these integrations is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

11. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, and branding of Elm — including the Elm logo, savings tree concept, Elm the Squirrel mascot, and the Elm Method — are the intellectual property of Elm and are protected by applicable laws.

12. Limitation of Liability

Elm is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any financial decisions you make based on information provided by our app. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for Elm in the 12 months preceding the claim.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for violation of these terms. You may delete your account and data at any time through Settings.
