Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before using Pickl Finance

Effective date: July 8, 2025
1. Definitions
  • "Service" refers to the Pickl website and mobile applications.
  • "You" or "User" means anyone who accesses or uses the Service.
  • "Pre-Order" means a purchase of early access via Stripe on our website.
  • "Subscription" means a recurring paid plan purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Accounts & Eligibility
  • You must be at least 13 years old to register for an account.

3. Service Overview

Pickl helps families build healthy money habits by linking real bank accounts via Plaid, tracking spending, setting budgets, and managing savings goals. Financial account access is handled securely through encrypted tokens (AES-256); we do not store banking credentials. Only you can view your transaction and balance data.

The Service includes a virtual stock market experience that mirrors live market prices and trends. Users can use non-cash credits—earned through good spending behavior—to simulate trades. These credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred or withdrawn.

We also offer a leaderboard system where users can see how their spending score compares to others. Leaderboards may be shown within family groups or publicly. If displayed publicly, only usernames (not full names or personal identifiers) are shown.

4. Pre-Orders & Purchases
  • Pre-Orders: Available on our website via Stripe. When you place a Pre-Order, you authorize us to charge your payment method.
  • Payment Confirmations: Payment receipts and confirmations are sent directly by Stripe. Pickl does not generate or email these receipts.
  • Project Updates: We may email you over time with product updates, launch timelines, and newsletters using the email address you provide at checkout.
  • Refunds: Pre-Orders are only refundable if Pickl Finance does not launch or enter the market. We currently do not have a defined launch date. If we cancel the project, you will be eligible for a full refund.
5. Subscriptions
  • Subscriptions (e.g. premium features) are purchased in-app via Apple or Google. Recurring charges appear on your App Store or Google Play statement.
  • You manage, modify, or cancel your subscription directly through your device's app-store subscriptions settings.
  • We do not issue refunds for partial subscription periods—please refer to App Store or Play Store refund policies.
6. Push Notifications

If you opt into push notifications, you authorize us to send alerts (e.g. low-balance warnings, goal reminders). You can disable these in your device's settings or in-app under Settings → Notifications.
