End User License Agreement

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using VentureGauge, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Application.

1. VentureGauge

VentureGauge is a business-planning and financial-analysis application designed to help users understand the financial progress of a venture, including progress toward break-even and profitability.

VentureGauge may perform calculations using information you provide, such as revenue, expenses, costs, sales activity, and other venture information.

VentureGauge is a planning and informational tool. It does not operate or manage your business and does not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of information you enter.

2. License

Subject to this Agreement, Staxflare grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to install and use VentureGauge for your personal or internal business purposes.

VentureGauge is licensed, not sold.

You acquire no ownership interest in VentureGauge or its underlying software, designs, trademarks, calculations, documentation, or other intellectual property except for the limited right to use the Application under this Agreement.

For applications obtained through the Apple App Store, the license is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by Apple’s applicable usage rules, including applicable Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or other uses permitted by Apple.

3. Your Venture Data

You retain ownership of information and content you enter into VentureGauge, including venture names, descriptions, financial information, notes, and custom venture images.

VentureGauge stores venture information locally on your device and does not require a VentureGauge account or VentureGauge cloud service.

You are responsible for the accuracy of information you enter into VentureGauge and for maintaining appropriate security and backups for your device and information.

Additional information about how VentureGauge handles information is provided in the VentureGauge Privacy Policy available at https://venturegauge.app/privacy.

4. Financial Calculations and Results

VentureGauge calculates results based on information supplied by you and the mathematical and financial models implemented by the Application.

Results may include calculations relating to break-even points, contribution margins, costs, profitability, financial progress, or similar business metrics.

Results depend on the accuracy, completeness, and relevance of the information you provide. Incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate assumptions may produce incorrect or misleading results.

You are responsible for evaluating whether a calculation or result is appropriate for your particular business or circumstances.

5. Not Financial, Accounting, Tax, Legal, or Investment Advice

VentureGauge provides software tools and general informational calculations. It does not provide individualized financial, accounting, tax, legal, investment, or other professional advice.

Nothing presented by VentureGauge constitutes a recommendation to start, continue, discontinue, finance, purchase, sell, invest in, or otherwise take action concerning a business, venture, product, investment, or financial transaction.

You remain responsible for your own business and financial decisions.

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional when professional advice is necessary.

6. No Guarantee of Profitability or Business Results

VentureGauge does not guarantee that a venture will become profitable, reach break-even, achieve a particular return, remain financially sustainable, or produce any particular business result.

A calculation showing that a venture has reached or exceeded a mathematical break-even point does not necessarily mean that the venture is profitable under every accounting, tax, cash-flow, economic, or other financial measure.

Actual results may differ from calculations because of factors not represented in the Application.

7. Permitted and Prohibited Uses

You may use VentureGauge for lawful personal and internal business purposes.

You may not, except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise:

• copy, redistribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or commercially distribute the Application;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Application;
• modify or create derivative works from the Application;
• circumvent security or technical protections;
• use VentureGauge in violation of applicable law;
• interfere with the normal operation or security of the Application or associated services; or
• use Staxflare or VentureGauge trademarks, branding, or other intellectual property without authorization.

These restrictions do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

8. Updates and Changes

Staxflare may release updates, fixes, improvements, or new versions of VentureGauge.

Features may be added, modified, or discontinued as the Application evolves.

An update may be necessary for continued compatibility with your device, operating system, app store, or third-party platform.

Future versions of VentureGauge may offer optional services such as cloud synchronization, accounts, integrations, or other functionality. Additional terms may apply to those services.

9. Third-Party Services

VentureGauge may depend on or interact with software, operating systems, app stores, development frameworks, or services provided by third parties, including Apple, Google, and Expo.

Your use of those third-party services may also be subject to their respective terms and policies. You agree to comply with applicable third-party terms when using VentureGauge.

Staxflare is not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.

10. Maintenance and Support

Staxflare is responsible for maintenance and support for VentureGauge to the extent described by Staxflare or required by applicable law.

Neither Apple nor Google is responsible for providing maintenance or support for VentureGauge solely because the Application is distributed through their respective app stores.

11. Availability and Data Loss

We do not guarantee that VentureGauge will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or operating-system version.

Because VentureGauge stores venture information locally, loss, damage, replacement, reset, deletion, or failure of your device or Application data may result in loss of your VentureGauge information.

Staxflare may be unable to recover locally stored information that has not been backed up through a service available to you.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate device backups when the information is important to you.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VENTUREGAUGE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

STAXFLARE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

STAXFLARE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION OR ITS CALCULATIONS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, ACCURATE FOR EVERY PURPOSE, OR SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR BUSINESS DECISION.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STAXFLARE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE VENTUREGAUGE.

STAXFLARE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BUSINESS OR FINANCIAL DECISIONS MADE BASED ON INFORMATION OR CALCULATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICATION.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Intellectual Property Claims

Staxflare is responsible for addressing claims that VentureGauge or your possession and use of VentureGauge infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, including claims relating to copyright, trademark, or patent infringement, to the extent required by applicable law.

For applications obtained through the Apple App Store, Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of such intellectual-property claims.

15. Product Claims

Staxflare, rather than Apple or Google solely by reason of their operation of an app store, is responsible for addressing claims relating to VentureGauge or your possession and use of VentureGauge, including product-liability claims, claims that the Application fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar laws, to the extent applicable.

16. Apple App Store Terms

If you obtained VentureGauge through Apple’s App Store, you and Staxflare acknowledge and agree that:

• This Agreement is between you and Staxflare, not Apple. Staxflare is solely responsible for VentureGauge and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for VentureGauge.
• If VentureGauge fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, as provided by Apple’s applicable terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding VentureGauge.
• Staxflare, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to VentureGauge or your possession and use of it, subject to applicable law.
• Staxflare, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging applicable third-party intellectual-property infringement claims concerning VentureGauge.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country or region subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using VentureGauge.
• Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Google Play and Other Distribution Platforms

If you obtain VentureGauge through Google Play or another authorized distribution platform, your use of that platform remains subject to the platform’s applicable terms.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to override rights or obligations that cannot be modified under the applicable platform terms or law.

18. Legal Compliance and Export Restrictions

You agree to use VentureGauge in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

You may not use, export, re-export, or otherwise make VentureGauge available in violation of applicable U.S. export-control, sanctions, or other applicable trade laws.

19. Termination

This Agreement remains effective until terminated.

Your rights under this Agreement may terminate if you materially violate its terms, subject to any notice or cure rights required by applicable law.

Upon termination, you must stop using VentureGauge and, where applicable, delete copies of the Application in your possession or control.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and applicable legal obligations, will survive.

20. Governing Law

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer-protection or other mandatory law requires otherwise.

Nothing in this Agreement deprives you of mandatory consumer rights available under the laws applicable to you.

21. Changes to This Agreement

Staxflare may update this Agreement as VentureGauge evolves or as legal, regulatory, technical, or business requirements change.

When appropriate, the updated Agreement will be identified by a revised “Last updated” date. Additional notice or consent will be provided when required by applicable law.
