BalanceBeacon Terms of Use
Effective Date: August 17, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Elytron Consulting LLC (“Elytron,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the BalanceBeacon mobile application (“BalanceBeacon” or the “App”).
By downloading, accessing, purchasing, or using BalanceBeacon, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the BalanceBeacon Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into this agreement.
If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you.
You may not use BalanceBeacon where its use would violate applicable law.
2. What BalanceBeacon provides
BalanceBeacon is a manual cash-flow planning and forecasting tool.
The App uses information you enter or import to:
- Estimate future account balances.
- Identify potential financial shortfalls.
- Display upcoming income and expenses.
- Illustrate possible debt-payment paths.

BalanceBeacon does not:
- Access your bank account.
- Transfer money.
- Pay bills.
- Stop payments.
- Verify that income was deposited.
- Confirm that a merchant or creditor received payment.
- Monitor your actual account activity.
Marking an item paid, missed, or received changes only the App’s local forecast.
You remain responsible for completing and verifying every real-world transaction.
4. Not financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice
BalanceBeacon provides estimates for informational and planning purposes only.
Elytron is not a:
- Bank.

BalanceBeacon’s results do not constitute financial, investment, credit, legal, tax, or accounting advice.
Do not rely on BalanceBeacon as your only source for deciding whether to spend money, make a payment, borrow, invest, or take another financial action.
Review your actual account records and consult qualified professionals when appropriate.
5. Your information and responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- The accuracy and completeness of information you enter or import.

- Reviewing forecasts before acting.
- Confirming real transactions with the relevant institution, merchant, employer, or creditor.

Forecasts may be inaccurate if information is outdated, incomplete, mistyped, delayed, duplicated, incorrectly confirmed, or otherwise inaccurate.
6. License
Subject to these Terms and the applicable app-store rules, Elytron grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to install and use BalanceBeacon on devices you own or control.

A 7 day free trial is available on the yearly plan for eligible new subscribers. The weekly and monthly plans do not include a free trial.
Unless you cancel before the trial period ends, the free trial converts automatically into a paid yearly subscription at the price listed above, and the applicable app store charges your account.
Trial eligibility, availability, and duration are determined by the Apple App Store or Google Play and may differ by account, device, or region. The trial terms displayed by the applicable app store when you confirm the purchase control.
Your subscription automatically renews, and the applicable app store charges your account for each new billing period unless you cancel before the store’s renewal deadline.
Subscription features remain available while the applicable store reports that your entitlement is active.
8. Cancellation and refunds
You must manage or cancel your subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play account used to make the purchase.
Deleting BalanceBeacon does not cancel your subscription.
Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period unless the applicable store or law provides otherwise.
Apple or Google controls:
- Payment processing.
- Renewal timing.
- Cancellation processing.
- Refund eligibility.
- Refund processing.
Nothing in these Terms limits a cancellation, refund, or consumer right that cannot legally be waived.
9. App-store terms
Your use of BalanceBeacon is also subject to the terms of the app store from which you obtained it.
If these Terms conflict with mandatory app-store terms, the mandatory app-store terms control to the extent of the conflict.
Apple and Google are not responsible for providing maintenance or support for BalanceBeacon except where required by their terms or applicable law.
To the extent permitted by the applicable platform terms, the relevant app-store provider and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the license provisions in these Terms and may enforce those provisions.

19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as BalanceBeacon, our business, or legal requirements change.
We will revise the Effective Date and provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
Your continued use of BalanceBeacon after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
20. General terms
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
Elytron’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. Elytron may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale, financing, or transfer of BalanceBeacon.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Elytron concerning BalanceBeacon, subject to mandatory app-store terms.
