Third-party services

Stack uses third-party services (Plaid, OpenAI, Stripe, others) that have their own terms. By using Stack, you also agree to relevant third-party terms.

Stack may be unavailable during maintenance, due to technical issues, or due to third-party outages. We aim for high availability but don't guarantee uninterrupted service.

Disclaimers

Stack provides information about your finances and recommendations about card usage. Stack is not:

  • A financial advisor
  • A bank or financial institution
  • A guarantee of rewards or savings

Decisions about your finances are yours. Stack is a tool, not a substitute for professional financial advice.

  • Indirect or consequential damages

Our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid Stack in the past 12 months.

You can delete your account anytime in Settings.

We can terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

Changes to these terms

If we update these Terms, we'll notify users by email and post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.

Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.
