Terms of use

What Arroz is

An iPhone and Android app that does two things: it splits expenses between people, in household or trip groups, and it organises your personal budget for the month. The groups are the same on both: sign in with the same account and you see everything from either side.

These terms cover the app and this site.

The app is a calculator, not a bank

It records and divides amounts. No money passes through it. When someone marks a settlement as paid, that is a record of what people agreed — not a transfer.

The numbers depend on whoever types them

The app adds up and divides correctly whatever it is given. If someone logs a wrong amount, the balance is wrong — and no system can tell.

Checking what was logged is up to the people using it. The Activity tab exists precisely for that: it shows who logged, edited or deleted each thing.

Your account

The account is created with Sign in with Apple, on iPhone, or Sign in with Google, on Android. Keeping access to your device and to the account you signed in with is your responsibility.

The name you choose is seen by every member of your groups. Choose a name you are happy to show them.

Usage analytics

The app records how it is used, anonymously, to know what to improve and what to fix. It records no amounts, no descriptions and no names, and the record is not tied to your account.

You can switch this off under Profile at any time, and the app carries on working exactly the same. What is recorded, where it is held and for how long is in the privacy policy.

Groups and other people's names

Adding someone by name means entering another person's data into the app. Whoever does that is responsible for having their agreement.

Anyone can ask for their own name to be removed from a group, either from whoever created it or from us, at support@arroz.app.

Acceptable use

Do not use Arroz for anything unlawful, or to harass another person. An expense description is a free-text field, and free text is content too: every member of the group sees it.

Do not attempt to bypass the server's access control, or to reach a group you do not belong to.

Minimum age

You must be 4 anos to use Arroz. That age matches the age rating registered on the App Store and on Google Play.

Pricing and subscription

Arroz is free to download and use. The free plan has limits on the Month tab and on creating groups; joining someone else's group has no limit. Arroz Pro, an optional subscription, removes those limits. What each plan includes is on the Free and Pro page of this site.

Plans and billing

• Pro has two plans, monthly and yearly. The price is the one in your country's store. It is shown on the subscription screen before you buy, with any taxes the store applies.
• Purchase and billing are handled by the App Store, on iPhone, or by Google Play, on Android, through the store account you subscribed with. Arroz never receives or stores card or payment details.

Automatic renewal

• The subscription renews on its own at the end of each period, on the same plan, until you cancel.
• The store charges the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• If the price changes, the store tells you in advance. Where its rules require it, the store asks for your consent before charging the new amount.

Free trial

• If you have never subscribed, you may get a free trial, with the length shown on the subscription screen. When the trial ends, billing starts unless you cancel before then.
• The trial is available once per store account.

Cancelling

• You cancel in the store. On iPhone, in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. On Android, in the Play Store, under Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
• Cancelling stops the next renewal. Pro stays active until the end of the period you already paid for.
• Deleting your Arroz account or uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription. It belongs to the store and can only be cancelled there.

Refunds

Refund requests go to the store that charged you, Apple or Google, under its own rules. Arroz has no access to the payment and cannot reverse a charge. This does not limit any rights consumer law gives you.

When Pro ends

The free plan's limits apply again to whatever you create from then on. Nothing you have already entered is deleted.

Which devices Pro works on

The subscription is tied to the store account it was bought with, not to your Arroz account. Bought on iPhone, it works on Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Bought on Android, it works on devices with the same Google account. It does not carry over from one system to the other.

Availability and changes

The app is offered as it is, and may be unavailable because of maintenance, a third-party failure, or something outside our reach.

Features may change or be withdrawn. A material change to these terms is announced inside the app before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page changes with it.

Limitation of liability

Arroz is not liable for loss arising from an amount someone logged wrongly, from an agreement between users that was not honoured, or from the service being unavailable.

Nothing in this section removes the rights Brazil's Consumer Protection Code grants you.

Ending your use

You can stop at any time by deleting your account under Profile. It cannot be undone.

Deleting your account does not cancel a Pro subscription. It is cancelled in the store, as described under Pricing and subscription.

• The account, the profile and the device tokens are deleted.
• Your name stops appearing, and your spot in the group becomes a vacant spot.
• The expenses you logged stay, because they are part of the other members' balances.

We may close an account that breaches these terms, giving notice where notice is possible.

Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by Brazilian law, without prejudice to the consumer's right to bring a claim where they live.
