By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Services and delete the application from your device(s).

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and any supplemental terms displayed within the Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any supplemental terms, the supplemental terms shall control with respect to the applicable feature.

2. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. If you are between 13 and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and consented to these Terms on your behalf.
  • You represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and are not barred from using the Services under any applicable law.
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@tabfare.ai if you become aware of any unauthorized use.
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are being used by persons who do not meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Description of Services

Tabfare provides a bill-splitting, receipt-analysis, and expense-tracking platform. Core functionality includes:

  • Splitting bills, tabs, and shared expenses among friends, family, housemates, and groups.
  • Receipt scanning via optical character recognition (OCR) and machine-learning augmented overlays to extract itemized data.
  • Manual and recurring entry for bills such as rent, utilities, subscriptions, and other shared expenses.
  • Group expense tracking with running balances and settlement history.
  • Generation of payment-request links compatible with third-party payment services (Venmo®, PayPal®, Cash App®, Zelle®, and others).
  • Exportable expense summaries and reports.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Tabfare does NOT process, hold, transfer, or transmit money. Tabfare is not a bank, money-services business, or payment processor. All actual payment transactions occur entirely through third-party payment platforms, each governed by its own terms of service. Tabfare merely generates a request link or deep-link to facilitate your use of those platforms.

4. Service Tiers
