Last updated: May 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cogent Cash. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Cogent Cash website, tools, and services (the "Service"), developed and operated by the Cogent Cash team ("we," "us," or "our"). Cogent Cash is a collaborative project developed by an independent team of contributors. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or corporate entity. The Service is provided by the individuals contributing to the project in their personal capacities.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Description of Service

Cogent Cash provides educational financial tools including but not limited to:

  • Cost averaging position tracking and planning
  • Savings calculators with compound growth projections
  • Options hedging strategy simulators
  • Investment strategy analysis tools
  • Valuation frameworks (DCF, DDM, LBO, and others)
  • Mortgage calculators
  • Market data displays

The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.

4. No Financial Advice

The Service is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Nothing on the Service should be interpreted as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial instrument.

The tools, calculators, and analysis provided are simplified models that may not accurately reflect real-world market conditions, transaction costs, taxes, or other factors that affect investment outcomes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

You should always consult with a qualified financial professional before making any investment decisions. We are not licensed financial advisors, and the Service does not provide personalized investment recommendations.

5. User Accounts

5.1 Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

5.2 Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding the password and credentials you use to access the Service. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are solely responsible for any activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized that activity.

5.3 Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time through the account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if we determine that you have violated these Terms or engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity.

6. Acceptable Use

7. Financial Data Accuracy

Market data displayed on the Service is sourced from third-party providers, including Yahoo Finance. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of any market data or financial information.

Market data may be delayed and may not reflect real-time prices. You should not rely on the Service for time-sensitive financial decisions. Always verify critical financial data with official sources before acting on it.

8. Subscription & Billing

8.1 Plans

The Service offers a free plan and a paid Pro plan. Pricing is as displayed on the pricing page. We reserve the right to change pricing upon 30 days' notice to affected users.

8.2 Billing

Pro plan subscriptions are billed monthly ($8/month) or annually ($60/year) through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. You authorize us to charge your payment method for recurring subscription fees.

8.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing settings. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to Pro features until the end of your current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.

8.4 EU Cooling-Off Period

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may have the right to withdraw from your subscription within 14 days of purchase without giving any reason. To exercise this right, contact us at the email address provided below.

Deleted accounts are soft-deleted for 30 days to allow recovery, after which all personal data is permanently purged.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Cogent Cash team, any contributor, advisor, or any member of the Cogent Cash team be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

The Cogent Cash team is a collaborative project of independent contributors. Contributors provide the Service in their personal capacities and do not maintain professional indemnity insurance. The Service is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or SGD $100, whichever is greater.

We are not liable for any investment losses, trading losses, or financial damages resulting from your use of the Service, including reliance on any tools, calculations, or analysis provided.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the Singapore Unfair Contract Terms Act.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Cogent Cash team, all contributors, advisors, and their respective members from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights
  • Any investment decisions you make based on information from the Service

12. Termination

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. You may terminate by deleting your account. We may terminate by suspending or closing your account with or without notice.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will remain in effect.

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

14. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through an in-app notice at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate these Terms by deleting your account.
