Splixy Terms of Service

Last updated: November 10th, 2023

Splixy is a shared ledger for friends, colleagues and family to keep track of expenses. Bills, IOUs, debts and payments recorded on Splixy are informal records, and not legally binding contracts of some kind. We offer the Splixy service "as-is" without a warranty. Splixy® is a work-in-progress, so some features of our website and apps may not work exactly as planned. We may stop offering or restrict certain services or features at any time. Please be patient with us and we'll always do our best to support you.

We will modify our Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy periodically and post the most current version on this webpage, https://splixy.web.app/terms. Here are the policies:

Terms Of Use

Description: Splixy® (the Service) is a service designed to help you track informal debts, expenses, and bills, by allowing users to enter notes about who they owe, who owes them and why. The Service keeps track of the sharing math, provides informal sharing advice, and stores this data for later use. You agree that this service is provided AS-IS and on an AS AVAILABLE basis.
Informal debts: The App allows users who share a group or are friends on the service to post debts and payments as they please, using wiki-style rules with no explicit permissions.
