Terms of Service

Last updated: July 10, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms and Eligibility

1.1 The agreement. These Terms of Service, including the Commission and Data Dividend Terms in Section 4 (together, the "Terms"), are a binding agreement between you and Aequicore LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company ("Aequicore," "we," "us," or "our"). The Terms govern your access to and use of the Aequicore mobile application, the aequicore.com website, and any related software, features, and services we provide (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, downloading or using the app, or otherwise accessing the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1.2 Effective date. These Terms are effective as of July 10, 2026 for all users who accept them on or after that date.

1.3 Eligibility. To use the Service you must: (a) be at least 18 years of age; (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; (c) reside in the United States, where the Service is available at launch; and (d) not be barred from using the Service under applicable law. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet all of these requirements. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account.

1.4 Dispute resolution notice. Section 13 contains a binding individual arbitration provision and a class action waiver that affect how disputes are resolved. These apply mainly to users in the United States, and US users may opt out within 30 days under Section 13.6. If you are a consumer in the EEA, the UK, or a similar jurisdiction, see Section 13.9.

2. Description of the Service

2.1 What the Service is. Aequicore is a personal shopping agent that runs on your device. With your permission, it uses shopping-related signals on your device to surface relevant offers from our partner merchants. Whether to act on any offer is entirely your decision.

2.2 Informational only. The Service provides product and offer information for your convenience. It is not investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or financial advice of any kind, and nothing in the Service should be understood as a recommendation that any purchase, subscription, or other transaction is suitable for you or your circumstances.

2.3 The agent may show nothing. The agent is designed to abstain when it does not find a genuinely relevant offer. There may be extended periods during which the Service shows you no offers at all. That is expected behavior, not a defect.

2.4 No guarantee of savings. We do not guarantee that any offer surfaced by the Service represents the lowest available price, that you will save money by using the Service, or that you will earn any particular amount, or any amount at all, in Data Dividends.

2.5 Availability. The Service is currently offered for iOS devices in the United States. We may expand, restrict, or modify availability at any time as described in Section 11.

2.6 Evolving service and beta features. The Service is offered on an evolving basis. Some features may be provided in testing, preview, or beta form, or may not yet be final, and we may add, change, limit, pause, or discontinue any feature, or the Service itself, over time. Estimated figures shown in the Service, including estimated Data Dividend amounts, may change. In particular, Data Dividend payouts are not yet active and will activate at the public launch of the Service, as described in Section 4.5. We will aim to give reasonable notice of significant changes where practicable, and any change that affects amounts already available to you remains subject to Section 4 and Section 11.

3. Privacy and Data Protection

3.1 On-device processing. The Service is designed so that your raw personal data is processed on your device and does not leave it. We do not sell your personal data, and the Service contains no advertising.

3.2 Your data protection rights. Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or a similar data protection law, applies to you, you have rights over your personal data. These may include the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection to processing. Because processing happens on your device and under your control, you can exercise many of these rights directly through the app. To make a request, contact us at the address in Section 14.

3.3 Learn more. Our Privacy & Trust page describes how the Service handles information, including the limited operational data needed to attribute a Qualifying Purchase and pay a Data Dividend, and the lawful bases for that processing. That page is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If it conflicts with these Terms on your legal rights and obligations, these Terms control.

4. Commission and Data Dividend Terms

This Section 4 governs how Aequicore is compensated and how the Data Dividend works.

4.1 Definitions

"Partner"
A merchant, retailer, or other business that has agreed to pay Aequicore a commission when a user completes a purchase attributed to the Service.
"Qualifying Purchase"
A purchase you complete with a Partner through an offer surfaced by the Service, where the Partner's tracking correctly attributes the purchase to Aequicore and the purchase satisfies the Partner's conditions for commission payment.
"Commission"
The cost-per-acquisition amount a Partner agrees to pay Aequicore for a Qualifying Purchase.
"Net Commission"
The Commission amount actually received by Aequicore in cleared funds for a Qualifying Purchase, after deduction or reversal for returns, cancellations, chargebacks, clawbacks, fraud adjustments, and any other adjustments applied by the Partner or its commission network. Net Commission is measured on what Aequicore actually receives and keeps, not on gross, quoted, or estimated amounts.
"Data Dividend"
The cash amount payable to you under Section 4.3, equal to 70% of the Net Commission attributable to your Qualifying Purchases.

4.2 How Aequicore is paid

Aequicore earns money in one way: when you complete a Qualifying Purchase, the Partner pays Aequicore a Commission. Aequicore does not charge you for the Service, does not sell advertising, and does not sell your personal data. Aequicore is a matching and referral service only. Aequicore is not the seller of any product or service offered by a Partner, and Aequicore is not a party to any purchase contract between you and a Partner. Your purchase contract is with the Partner alone.

4.3 The 70/30 split

For each Qualifying Purchase, Aequicore will credit to your account a Data Dividend equal to 70% of the Net Commission actually received and cleared by Aequicore for that purchase. Aequicore retains the remaining 30%. The split is calculated on Net Commission only. If a Partner reduces, reverses, or never pays a Commission, the corresponding Data Dividend is reduced, reversed, or never accrues, in the same proportion.

4.4 Data Dividend lifecycle

  1. Pending. When the Service detects a Qualifying Purchase, an estimated Data Dividend accrues to your account with a status of "pending." Pending amounts are good-faith estimates based on the Commission the Partner is expected to pay. They are not owed to you, may change, and may be reversed in whole or in part.
  2. Available. A pending Data Dividend becomes "available" only after all of the following have occurred: (a) the Partner has confirmed the Commission; (b) the Partner has actually paid the Commission to Aequicore in cleared funds; and (c) any applicable return, cancellation, or hold window set by the Partner or by Aequicore has closed. Only available amounts are eligible for payout.
  3. Paid. Once payouts are active (see Section 4.5), available amounts can be paid out to you through a supported payout method.

Timing depends on Partners and can range from weeks to several months. Amounts shown before a Commission is confirmed and paid are estimates only.

4.5 Payouts

Payouts are not yet active. As noted in Section 2.6, payouts are an evolving feature. During the current pre-launch period, Data Dividends accrue and are tracked for you, but no cash payouts are made. Payouts will activate at the public launch of the Service. When payouts activate:

4.6 Taxes

You are solely responsible for any taxes that apply to Data Dividends you receive under the laws of your own jurisdiction. Depending on where you live, a Data Dividend may be treated as taxable income or may otherwise be subject to tax, and you are responsible for reporting and paying it as your local law requires. For example, US users whose payments meet applicable reporting thresholds may receive a US information return such as a Form 1099, and Aequicore or its payment processors may need to collect a Form W-9 or equivalent. Users in the EEA, the UK, and other countries remain responsible for their own local tax obligations. Aequicore or its payment processors may be required to collect tax information from you and to report payments under the laws that apply, and we may withhold or suspend payouts, or withhold amounts, where required by law or where you have not provided requested information. Nothing in this Section is tax advice; consult your own tax advisor.

4.7 Forfeiture, reversal, and clawback

Aequicore may reduce, reverse, withhold, or cancel pending or available Data Dividends, and may offset amounts already paid against future amounts, in any of the following circumstances:

Where a reversal applies to an amount already paid to you, you agree that we may deduct the reversed amount from your future Data Dividends or, for amounts obtained through fraud or breach of these Terms, require repayment.

4.8 No guarantee

Aequicore does not guarantee that you will earn any Data Dividend, that any purchase will be a Qualifying Purchase, that any Partner will confirm or pay any Commission, or that any estimated amount will become available or be paid. Attribution depends on Partner tracking systems that Aequicore does not control, and purchases can fail to track for reasons outside our control.

5. Accounts and Acceptable Use

5.1 No login; connected services and payout reference. Aequicore does not use a traditional account with a username and password, and browsing offers does not require an account. Two limited "account" concepts may apply. First, you may voluntarily connect an email inbox, for example through Google OAuth, so the Service can read shopping-related messages; you authorize this on a read-only basis, you should connect only an inbox you are entitled to connect, and you can disconnect at any time from within the app or through your email provider. Second, to credit Data Dividends the Service uses a pseudonymous, on-device payout reference. You agree to provide accurate information where the Service asks for it, such as payout or tax details when payouts activate, to keep any connected service and payout reference under your own control, and to notify us at legal@aequicore.com if you believe your connected service or payout reference has been misused.

5.2 Prohibited conduct. You agree not to, and not to help or permit anyone else to:

5.3 Enforcement. We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate accounts, withhold or reverse Data Dividends under Section 4.7, and report unlawful activity to law enforcement.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our property. The Service, including the app, website, software, models, designs, text, graphics, logos, and the Aequicore name and brand, is owned by Aequicore or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license below, nothing in these Terms transfers any right, title, or interest in the Service to you.

6.2 Your license. Subject to these Terms, Aequicore grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app on devices you own or control, and to access the Service, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

6.3 Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Service, you grant Aequicore a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.

7. Third-Party Partners and Merchants

7.1 Partners act for themselves. All offers surfaced by the Service originate with Partners. Prices, discounts, availability, shipping, product descriptions, warranties, returns, and fulfillment are determined and performed by the Partner, not by Aequicore, and may change or expire without notice.

7.2 Aequicore is not responsible for Partners. Aequicore is not responsible or liable for the conduct of any Partner, the quality, safety, legality, or delivery of any product or service you purchase from a Partner, or the accuracy of any Partner's offer terms. Any dispute about a purchase, including refunds, returns, defects, and warranty claims, is between you and the Partner and is governed by the Partner's own terms and policies. We encourage you to review a Partner's terms before you buy.

7.3 No endorsement. The appearance of an offer in the Service means the offer matched signals on your device. It is not an endorsement, guarantee, or certification of the Partner or its products.

8. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AEQUICORE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT OFFERS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR CORRECTLY PRICED, THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY SAVINGS, OR THAT ANY DATA DIVIDEND WILL ACCRUE OR BE PAID. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Nothing in this Section affects any warranty, guarantee, or legal right that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of your country of residence, including the statutory rights of consumers in the EEA and the UK (see Section 13.9).

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) IN NO EVENT WILL AEQUICORE OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (B) AEQUICORE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD $100) AND (ii) THE TOTAL DATA DIVIDENDS AEQUICORE PAID TO YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Aequicore's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including the mandatory rights of consumers in the EEA and the UK (see Section 13.9).

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aequicore and its officers, directors, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your misuse of the Service, including any prohibited conduct under Section 5.2; (c) your violation of applicable law or the rights of a third party; or (d) any dispute between you and a Partner. This obligation does not apply to any claim to the extent it arises from Aequicore's own breach of these Terms, negligence, or willful misconduct. We may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense, and we will not settle any claim in a way that imposes a non-monetary obligation on you without your consent. This Section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law; where local law limits or does not permit consumer indemnities, including for consumers in the EEA and the UK, it applies only as far as that law allows (see Section 13.9).

11. Changes to the Service and to These Terms

11.1 Changes to the Service. As described in Section 2.6, we are actively developing the Service and may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features, offers, Partners, payout methods, or the Service itself, in whole or in part, at any time. Where a change materially and adversely affects accrued available Data Dividends, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to give you advance notice and an opportunity to receive amounts that are then available, subject to Section 4.

11.2 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the app, by email to the address on your account, or by another reasonable method, and we will update the "Last updated" date above. Changes take effect on the date stated in the notice, which will be at least 14 days after notice for material changes, except that changes required by law or addressing new features may take effect immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if applicable, request payout of any available balance under Section 12.3.

12. Termination

12.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time from within the app or by emailing legal@aequicore.com.

12.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law or to prevent fraud, harm, or misuse, or if we discontinue the Service. Except where we are prevented by law or by an urgent risk, we will give you reasonable notice and the reason, and where the issue can be corrected, a fair opportunity to correct it.

12.3 Effect on Data Dividends. On termination or account closure: (a) amounts that are then available will, once payouts are active and subject to identity and tax verification, be paid to you through a supported payout method, provided your account was not terminated for fraud or material breach of these Terms; (b) pending amounts that later satisfy the conditions in Section 4.4 will be handled in the same manner; and (c) if your account is terminated for fraud or material breach, pending and available amounts may be forfeited under Section 4.7. Sections 4.6, 4.7, 6.3, and 8 through 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 13.2. This choice of law does not deprive a consumer of the mandatory protections of the law of their country of residence, and Section 13.9 governs for non-US consumers.

13.2 Binding individual arbitration (US users). If you reside in the United States, you and Aequicore agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration will take place in the county where you reside or another mutually agreed location, or by video conference. AAA fees will be allocated under the Consumer Arbitration Rules; if those rules require Aequicore to pay a greater share of fees, Aequicore will do so.

13.3 Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, the party with the dispute must send the other a written notice describing the dispute and the requested relief (to Aequicore at legal@aequicore.com). The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within 60 days of the notice. Arbitration may begin only after that period expires.

13.4 Class action waiver. YOU AND AEQUICORE EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, must proceed in court, and the remainder of this Section 13 remains in effect.

13.5 Small claims carve-out; injunctive relief. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration, if the claim qualifies. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information pending arbitration.

13.6 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Sections 13.2 and 13.4 by emailing legal@aequicore.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," including your name and the email address associated with your account, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

13.7 Venue for court proceedings. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, and subject to the small claims carve-out, you and Aequicore consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware.

13.8 One-year limitation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one year after the claim accrues, or it is permanently barred.

13.9 EEA, UK, and other non-US consumers. Nothing in these Terms deprives you of the mandatory rights and protections guaranteed by the law of your country of residence. If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law prohibits them, the arbitration agreement (13.2), class action waiver (13.4), choice of Delaware law (13.1), and one-year limitation (13.8) do not apply to you to the extent prohibited. In that case, these Terms are governed by the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country under that law. The informal resolution step in Section 13.3 still applies as a good-faith first step, and you may also use any consumer or online dispute resolution mechanism available to you locally.

14. Contact, Entity Identification, and General Terms

14.1 Who we are. The Service is operated by Aequicore LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, formed on April 9, 2026. Aequicore intends to convert to a Delaware corporation; if that occurs, the successor entity will assume these Terms automatically and your rights under these Terms will not be reduced by the conversion.

14.2 Contact. Questions about these Terms, notices under these Terms, and legal inquiries should be sent to legal@aequicore.com.

14.3 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they incorporate by reference, are the entire agreement between you and Aequicore regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

14.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. Aequicore may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, entity conversion, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

14.5 Severability and waiver. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

14.6 No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and Aequicore. Aequicore acts as a technology service on your device and as a referral intermediary with Partners, not as your legal representative.

14.7 App marketplace terms. Your use of the app is also subject to the usage rules of the app marketplace from which you downloaded it, such as the Apple App Store. Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app.
