By downloading, installing, or using Cartava ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Cartava App LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("we," "our," or "us").
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
Cartava is a personal gift card organization and tracking application. It allows you to:
Cartava App LLC is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any retailer, gift card issuer, or brand that may appear within the App.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Cartava. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission.
Cartava does not require an account. All data — gift card numbers, balances, barcodes, PINs, your name, and your birthday — is stored locally on your device only.
You are solely responsible for:
Important: Because all data is stored on your device, Cartava cannot recover your data if you lose your device, delete the app, or reset your phone without a backup. We strongly recommend keeping your device backup enabled.
Cartava is a personal organization and tracking tool. We do not verify, guarantee, or represent the accuracy of any gift card balance, barcode, or card information stored in the App. Gift card terms, balances, and validity are determined solely by the issuing retailer or financial institution.
Barcode display in the App depends on the data captured during scanning or entered manually. We make no guarantee that a barcode displayed by Cartava will scan successfully at any particular retailer's point-of-sale system. Always have your card number available for manual entry as a backup.
Some retailers (including but not limited to Starbucks and Chick-fil-A) use dynamic barcodes that change in real time and cannot be replicated by third-party apps. For these retailers, you must use the retailer's own application to complete payment. Cartava will direct you to the appropriate app when applicable.
You are responsible for verifying your gift card balances directly with the issuing retailer before making purchases. Cartava App LLC is not liable for any declined transactions, fees charged by retailers, or losses arising from inaccurate information in the App.
You agree to use Cartava only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
Cartava is currently offered free of charge with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. We reserve the right to introduce optional paid features in the future with appropriate advance notice. Any future paid features will be clearly disclosed before purchase.
If you grant Cartava permission to send notifications, we will send you reminders related to your gift cards, including inactivity alerts and birthday reminders. You can disable notifications at any time in your iPhone Settings → Notifications → Cartava.
If you grant location permission, Cartava may use your location to alert you when near stores where you have gift cards. If you grant "Always Allow" location access, this may occur in the background. You can change location permissions at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Cartava.

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY BARCODE DISPLAYED WILL SUCCESSFULLY SCAN AT ANY RETAIL LOCATION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CARTAVA APP LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cartava App LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising out of or relating to your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

Cartava App LLC is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of these retailers. All brand names and logos are the property of their respective owners.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the App at any time for conduct that violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or third parties. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules, rather than in court, to the extent permitted by law.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. Your continued use of Cartava after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
