These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Indie Hacker Program website and any associated analysis tools, dashboards, or reports (collectively, the "Service"). This is a general draft template provided for informational structure only and should be reviewed and adapted by qualified legal counsel before being relied upon as a binding agreement.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.
1. Overview of the Service
Indie Hacker Program provides data analysis and decision-support tools intended to help freelancers and independent professionals better understand variable income patterns. The Service is informational in nature and does not constitute financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Any figures, projections, or recommendations presented through the Service are illustrative and should not be treated as guarantees of future outcomes.
2. Eligibility and Account Responsibility
You must be able to form a legally binding contract to use the Service. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including but not limited to: attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its underlying systems, interfering with the normal operation of the Service, submitting false or misleading data, reverse-engineering any part of the platform, or using the Service for any unlawful purpose. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any account found to be in violation of these conditions.
4. Data You Provide
You retain ownership of any income, expense, or other data you submit to the Service ("Your Data"). By submitting Your Data, you grant Indie Hacker Program a limited license to process, store, and analyze it solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service to you. You represent that you have the right to submit Your Data and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.
5. No Financial Advice
Nothing produced by the Service — including charts, summaries, forecasts, or written recommendations — should be interpreted as professional financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. You are solely responsible for any decisions made based on information obtained through the Service. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified professional before making significant financial decisions.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, text, graphics, software, and underlying technology, is owned by or licensed to Indie Hacker Program and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without prior written consent.
7. Subscription, Fees, and Cancellation
Where the Service includes paid features, applicable fees and billing terms will be presented to you at the point of purchase. Unless otherwise stated, fees are non-refundable. You may cancel a paid plan at any time, with cancellation taking effect at the end of the current billing period, subject to any specific terms communicated to you separately.
8. Service Availability and Modifications
We aim to keep the Service available and functioning as intended, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability for any such changes.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that any analysis, forecast, or recommendation generated by the Service will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific circumstances.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Indie Hacker Program and its affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of income, profits, or data, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Indie Hacker Program, its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at our discretion, including for suspected violations of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability — will continue to apply.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Service or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date on this page. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
