Terms that don't punish your attention span

Below is our full Terms of Service. It's still a legal-ish document—but we wrote it so you'd know what DebtEase does, what it refuses to impersonate (banks, psychics…), and how to reach Mihir, the indie developer who builds this thing.

Effective date: 17 May 2026

Last updated: 17 May 2026


A quick note before the “serious” stuff

Thanks for opening this. Most people treat Terms of Service like the side salad at a carb festival—present, ignored, possibly regretful later. We tried to write these in plain language with a little personality, because using DebtEase should feel honest, not like signing a mystery contract.

The short version: DebtEase is a tool to help you see and think about debt and money—not a lender, advisor, fortune teller, or bank. Numbers you enter drive what you see; we don’t magically know your life. Stress tests are hypothetical “what if” cartoons, not predictions. Financial health cues are structural signals, not credit scores.

If anything here feels off, ping me (details at the bottom). I’m one indie developer—not a courtroom full of lawyers—so feedback actually lands.

Using DebtEase means you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, no hard feelings; please stop using the service.


1. Who built this?

DebtEase is built and operated by Mihir, an independent developer based in India.

There’s no big corporate backstory—just someone who cares about clearer debt tools and calmer spreadsheets. Operationally we may describe the service as “DebtEase”, “we”, “our”, or “us” throughout this document—that’s normal legal shorthand even when there’s essentially one human behind the curtain.


2. What DebtEase actually is

DebtEase is a financial wellness and debt awareness platform designed to help you better understand ideas like:

  • debt structure
  • cashflow rigidity
  • resilience under stress
  • repayment pressure
  • debt fragmentation
  • sensitivity to hypothetical shocks (“what-if” simulations)

DebtEase gives you informational analysis and educational-style outputs based on your inputs and deterministic calculations baked into the product. Think “structured notebook that does math consistently,” not “oracle.”

DebtEase is not:

  • a bank
  • a lender
  • a credit bureau
  • a loan marketplace
  • a regulated financial advisor, investment advisor, tax advisor, or lawyer
  • a debt collector

DebtEase does not:

  • issue loans
  • approve or reject borrowing
  • make lending decisions
  • calculate or sell industry-style credit scores
  • predict defaults or label you “likely to repay / not repay”
  • guarantee any financial outcome

3. Eligibility (the boring-but-important checkbox)

You need to be at least 18 to use DebtEase.

By using the service, you’re telling us—in good faith—that:

  • you can enter binding agreements where you live
  • the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge
  • you’re not using DebtEase as cover for fraud, spam, harassment, or other unlawful chaos

4. The deal with “insights”

DebtEase blends:

  • numbers you typed (or synced, if applicable)
  • internal rules (“policy”) and calculators
  • structural models and hypothetical simulations

Outputs are meant to improve visibility and awareness—they are not personalized professional advice tuned to every edge case in your life.

You remain fully responsible for choices you make with money—including whether to prioritize a loan, change spending, refinance, consolidate, negotiate, hire a coach, hire a chartered accountant... all of it.

DebtEase tries to reduce fog; it doesn’t pilot your finances for you.


5. Not advice (because we legally have to yell this politely)

Everything in DebtEase—from charts to summaries to color-coded moods—is general information.

Nothing here is:

  • personalised financial advice
  • investment guidance
  • tax guidance
  • legal guidance
  • “you should definitely do X” marching orders

If you’re about to move large sums, restructure legally binding contracts, enter insolvency workflows, buy complex products, etc., talk to humans who owe you fiduciary‑style diligence in the real world.


6. Financial “health” style scores & signals

DebtEase might show indicators like financial health-ish scores, stress sensitivity, fragmentation notes, resilience bands, shock simulation outputs, etc.

Please read those as:

  • informational overlays grounded in your supplied data
  • deterministic (same assumptions + inputs → same output) unless we explicitly ship non-deterministic features later
  • not conventional creditworthiness scores banks use silently in back rooms

They aren’t approvals, rejects, underwriting, or spooky predictions—just disciplined arithmetic wearing a hoodie.


7. Stress simulations = thought experiments with guardrails

When DebtEase shocks your budget or cashflow hypothetically—“what if income dipped 15%?”—remember:

  • it’s deliberately simplified scenario art, not prophecy
  • it doesn’t “know” your future landlord, boss, or medical bill RNG
  • it’s not estimating exact probabilities

Use it like a compass sketch, not a weather satellite.


8. Your responsibilities (the grown-up pact)

You agree to:

  • keep account access safe (don’t tattoo passwords onto Instagram)
  • tell the truth-ish with data you knowingly enter (Garbage In → Weird Stories Out™)
  • not attack, probe, overwhelm, spoof, scrape-abusively, or reverse engineer the infrastructure to harm others
  • not feed fraudulent or weaponised nonsense into the systems

Misuse isn’t edgy—it’s how tiny teams burn time instead of improving features nobody asked for anyway.


9. Data you share with us

To function, DebtEase processes information you volunteer—possibly including incomes, expenses, debts, EMI details, timelines, snapshots, repayment notes… you get it.

Functional processing is for powering the analysis you asked for.

Separately—and sometimes more granular—see our Privacy Policy (linked wherever we surface it next to onboarding / footers).


10. Accuracy reality check

DebtEase trusts your inputs deeply. Mistyped salary? Wrong EMI date? Forgot a credit line? Outputs will happily reflect that alternate universe.

We don’t guarantee outputs are universally “correct”—only that they faithfully reflect math + assumptions when inputs cooperate.


11. Uptime isn’t cosmic law

DebtEase might change, glitch, nap for maintenance, or temporarily vanish behind a CDN hiccough (hey, infra happens).

Especially while we’re early-stage / alpha-ish, rough edges aren’t betrayal—they’re the receipt for building in public.


12. Experimental corners

Certain experiences may behave like playgrounds:

  • numbering may reorder
  • models may tighten
  • stress assumptions may sharpen
  • visual polish may flirt with chaos before settling

Translation: expect iteration. If nostalgia for “last month’s bug” hits you—congrats, you were here early.


13. Intellectual property

Code, visual design, branding, copy, systems architecture (where protectable), and compiled features belong to DebtEase/Mihir or licensors.

Unless we explicitly permit it, don’t resell clones, plagiarise wording as if you authored it commercially, scrape training corpora to mimic proprietary flows, etc. If unsure—ask politely.


14. Limitation of liability (the “please don’t sue the indie shelf” shield)

Where the law permits, DebtEase isn’t financially responsible for indirect or consequential fallout such as profits you feel you missed, vibes that soured on a spreadsheet day, existential dread from realising interest exists, creditors calling because you experimented with avalanche vs snowball, etc.

Basically: powerful tools ≠ guaranteed life outcomes.

If your jurisdiction forbids slicing liability some way, enforceable bits remain; fluff dissolves politely.


15. No fancy warranty carnival

DebtEase arrives as-is / as-available. We don’t promise infinite uptime, perfect pixel alignment on every extinct Android ROM, mystical accuracy on third-party pasted CSVs someone edited at 3 a.m., or everlasting joy—though we aspire to reduce anxiety.


16. Third-party infrastructure

Hosting, DNS, databases, fonts, icons, occasional analytics—you name it—we stand on giants’ stacks. Third-party turbulence may ripple to you; we chase fixes pragmatically.


17. Deletion & account closure

You can request account/data deletion or corrections (see Privacy Policy for paths). Some records may survive where law, abuse prevention, security history, or accounting trails require it.


18. Privacy

Use of DebtEase is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the service, you acknowledge we process data as described there (not in an evil labyrinth way—lawyers just insist links exist).


19. Changes

We may refresh these Terms. Continued usage after posting updates usually means acceptance. If we ever ship a dramatic pivot (unlikely but life is weird), expect clearer notice.


20. Governing law & disputes

Governed by the laws of India. Courts in India have jurisdiction—but please email first; tiny teams resolve most issues faster with tea than pleadings.


21. Contact (yes, it’s really me)

Serious licensing question? Found a loophole wording that makes lawyers smile? Idea that might help thousands? Want to nerd out about amortisation quirks? Same inbox.


22. Acknowledgement compass

Using DebtEase means you affirm you understand:

  • outputs are informational, not ordained financial advice
  • nothing here is underwriting or a stealth credit bureau score
  • stress scenarios are illustrative
  • deterministic math still needs your truthful inputs
  • you pilot your finances; we illuminate maps

Stay curious, triple-check consequential choices, and celebrate small wins deleting liabilities.
