Welcome to Budget Sidekick. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Budget Sidekick application and website (the "Service") operated by Primordial Software ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the Service.

Important Notice

Budget Sidekick is a financial planning and budgeting tool designed for informational purposes only. We are not a bank, financial institution, investment advisor, or tax preparation service. The Service should not be used as a substitute for professional financial advice, and financial decisions should not be made solely based on the information provided by the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using the Service in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by posting a notice on our website, sending you an email, or through a notification within the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

2. Account Registration and Security
