Terms of Service
Effective date: April 24, 2026 · Last updated: April 24, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Aloke Tewary ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Mudra Manager: Budget Tracker application ("the App") and the website at mudramanager.com ("the Website").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy →. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
Mudra Manager is a personal finance tracking application that operates primarily offline on your Android device. The App provides:
- Manual and automated (SMS/notification-based) transaction recording
- Budget creation and tracking
- Savings goal management
- Trip expense tracking and group expense splitting
- Financial analytics and insights
- Data export (Excel, PDF) and local backup/restore
- Multi-currency support with exchange rate conversion
- Gamification features (achievements, streaks, levels)
- Plugin marketplace for extended functionality
The App is a financial tracking tool only. It is not a bank, payment processor, financial advisor, tax consultant, or regulated financial service.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.
4. User Account
The App does not require or create any user account. There is no registration, no email verification, no phone number collection, and no login process. Your use of the App is entirely anonymous to us.
5. SMS & Notification Access
5.1 How It Works
The App offers an optional feature to automatically detect financial transactions by reading bank SMS and RCS notifications. This feature:
- Requires explicit permission grant through Android's Notification Access settings
- Processes all messages entirely on your device — no data is transmitted
- Uses pattern-matching parsers to identify financial transactions from 50+ banks
- Automatically categorizes transactions based on learned patterns
5.2 Accuracy Disclaimer
SMS/notification parsing is provided on a best-effort basis and is inherently imperfect. You acknowledge and agree that:
- The App may fail to detect some transactions (false negatives)
- The App may incorrectly parse transaction amounts, merchants, dates, or categories (false positives or misclassification)
- The App may misidentify non-financial messages as transactions
- Bank SMS formats change without notice, which may temporarily break parsing for specific banks
- RCS and rich messaging formats may not be fully supported
- Dual-SIM configurations may affect sender detection accuracy
You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of all automatically imported transactions. The App is not a substitute for reviewing your bank statements. Do not rely solely on the App for financial record-keeping, tax filing, dispute resolution, or any purpose where transaction accuracy is critical.
5.3 Revocation
You may revoke Notification Access at any time through your device's Settings → Apps → Special Access → Notification Access. Previously imported transactions will remain in the App until you delete them.
6. Pricing & Subscriptions
6.1 Free Tier
Core features of the App are available free of charge with no time limitation. The free tier includes transaction tracking, budgets, goals, SMS auto-import, analytics, and export functionality.
6.2 Pro Upgrade
An optional Pro upgrade is available via Google Play's in-app purchase system, providing access to additional features such as unlimited accounts and advanced analytics. Pro pricing is displayed in the App and on Google Play in your local currency.
6.3 Billing & Refunds
All purchases are processed by Google Play. We do not directly handle payment information. Refund requests are governed by Google Play's refund policy →. For subscription cancellations, use Google Play → Subscriptions. We may, at our sole discretion, offer additional refunds for technical issues — contact support@mudramanager.com →
6.4 Price Changes
We reserve the right to modify Pro pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect existing active subscriptions until renewal. You will be notified of price changes through Google Play's standard notification mechanism before your next billing cycle.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Ownership
The App, including its source code, design, user interface, graphics, icons, logos, text, documentation, and all related intellectual property, is the exclusive property of Aloke Tewary and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of India and international treaties.
7.2 Trademarks
"Mudra Manager," the Mudra Manager logo, and "Your money, your language, your rules" are trademarks of Aloke Tewary. You may not use these marks without prior written permission, except as necessary to refer to the App in a factual, non-misleading manner (e.g., in a review or article).
7.3 License Grant
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Android devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial financial tracking purposes.
7.4 Restrictions
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the App
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except to the extent permitted by applicable law
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
- Use the App for any commercial purpose, including reselling parsed transaction data
- Use automated means to access or interact with the App (bots, scrapers, etc.)
- Circumvent any technical protection measures in the App
7.5 Your Data
You retain full ownership of all financial data you create or import into the App. We claim no ownership or license over your data. Since your data never leaves your device, we have no access to it.
8. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Use the App in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
- Maintain the security of your device (screen lock, OS updates, avoiding rooted/compromised devices)
- Regularly back up your data using the App's export/backup features — we cannot recover lost data
- Verify the accuracy of automatically imported transactions against your bank statements
- Not rely on the App as your sole financial record for tax, legal, or regulatory purposes
- Not use the App to facilitate any illegal activity, including money laundering, tax evasion, or fraud
9. Data Loss & Backup
Because all data is stored locally on your device:
- Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all data, including the encryption key. This is irreversible.
- Device loss, theft, damage, or factory reset will result in permanent data loss if no backup exists
- Backup files are encrypted with a device-bound key. Backups restored on a different device will have unreadable encrypted fields (amounts and categories will be intact, but SMS bodies and descriptions will not be recoverable)
- We cannot recover your data under any circumstances. We do not have copies, backups, or access to your data
You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your financial data.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:
- Merchantability — we do not warrant that the App is fit for any particular commercial purpose
- Fitness for a particular purpose — we do not warrant that the App will meet your specific requirements
- Accuracy — we do not warrant that SMS parsing, transaction categorization, budget calculations, exchange rates, analytics, or any other App output is accurate, complete, or reliable
- Uninterrupted operation — we do not warrant that the App will be error-free, bug-free, or available without interruption
- Security — while we implement AES-256 encryption and other security measures, we do not warrant that the App is immune to all security threats, particularly on rooted or compromised devices
- Compatibility — we do not warrant that the App will function correctly on all Android devices, OS versions, or configurations

14. Modifications to the App & Terms

14.2 Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes will be noted in the App's changelog. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you disagree with any changes, your sole remedy is to stop using and uninstall the App.
15. Termination
- By you: You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. This permanently deletes all local data.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon, in English, and the seat of arbitration shall be in India. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
18.3 Class Action Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
18.4 Exceptions
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for intellectual property infringement or other urgent matters.
19. Export Compliance
The App uses AES-256 encryption. You are responsible for compliance with any applicable export control laws and regulations in your jurisdiction related to the use of encryption software. The App is not intended for use in any jurisdiction where its use would be prohibited by law.

A list of open-source licenses is available within the App under Settings → About → Open Source Licenses. These Terms do not limit your rights under applicable open-source licenses.
21. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy →, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.
