Terms of Service

Effective September 30, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Agence ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Kalotech LLC, a Florida limited liability company operating Agence ("we," "us," or "our").

Description of Service

Agence is a personal finance and investment analysis tool that:
  • Connects to bank accounts via Plaid to retrieve transaction and balance data.
  • Connects to supported brokerage accounts via OAuth to retrieve portfolio data and, at your direction, execute trades in your brokerage account.
  • Runs AI agents in parallel to analyze your financial data and surface insights and trade signals.
  • Generates automated paper (simulated) trade signals based on automation rules you configure, which on standard plans require your approval before each order is placed.

The Service is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Agence is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner.

Trading Modes

Agence supports two distinct trading modes:
  • Paper trading (automated simulation). The autopilot feature evaluates your configured automation rules on a schedule and generates simulated trade signals in a paper account. On standard plans, each signal requires your review and approval before the simulated order is placed — the same as live trading, described below. No real money is transferred, no real securities are bought or sold, and no real brokerage account is debited or credited regardless of execution mode. Paper results do not reflect what would occur in live markets, and past simulated performance is not indicative of future real-world results.
  • Self-directed live trading. Agence may generate trade signals and suggestions based on your connected portfolio and configured rules. You are solely responsible for reviewing, approving, and placing each real-money order through your connected brokerage. Agence does not execute real-money trades on your behalf and does not hold, custody, or transfer your funds. Your brokerage account, KYC, and order execution are governed solely by your brokerage's terms and conditions.

For a full description of automation behavior, risk controls, and signal methodology, see the Automation Risk Disclosure, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing in Agence constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Insights, agent outputs, chat responses, automation signals, and trade suggestions are generated by automated AI systems and are provided for informational purposes only. They do not account for your complete financial situation, risk tolerance, tax circumstances, or investment objectives. AI-generated outputs may contain errors, omissions, or suggestions unsuitable for your specific circumstances; AI models can fail silently, reflect systematic biases, or produce outdated analysis without warning.

You should consult a qualified financial advisor before making any real investment, tax, or financial decisions. Agence is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner. Agence does not supervise, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of any signal, insight, or trade suggestion.

Subscriptions and Billing

Agence offers a free tier and a paid Plus plan ("Plus"). By subscribing to Plus:
  • You authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the rate displayed at checkout (monthly or annual billing, as selected).
  • A 7-day free trial is provided for first-time Plus subscribers. No charge is made until the trial period ends. You may cancel before day 8 to avoid any charge.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You may cancel at any time — a subscription bought on the web from Account → Subscription, and one bought in the iOS or Android app from your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and no partial-period refunds are issued.
  • Web charges are in USD; in-app purchases are charged in the currency your app store shows at checkout, and refunds for those are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. All charges are otherwise non-refundable except as required by applicable law or at our sole discretion.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we retry it for a limited period and Plus remains available while we do. If the payment still can't be collected, your subscription ends and your account returns to the free tier.
  • If you dispute a subscription charge with your card issuer (a chargeback), we may cancel your subscription immediately and end paid access. You're welcome to resubscribe at any time.
  • We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' advance notice to your registered email address. Continued use of Plus after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using Agence, you represent that you meet this requirement. The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

Account Registration

  • You must provide a valid email address and a password of at least 8 characters.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
  • You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.
  • One person may not maintain more than one account.

Third-Party Integrations

Agence integrates with Plaid, supported broker integrations, and third-party data providers. By connecting these services, you also agree to their respective terms:
  • Plaid End User Privacy Policy
  • Your connected brokerage's terms and disclosures. Your brokerage is a separate legal entity from Agence; account opening, KYC, custody, and order execution are governed solely by your brokerage's terms. Agence does not open, maintain, or custody brokerage accounts on your behalf.

Agence is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or actions of these third-party services. If a third-party service is unavailable, features of Agence that depend on it may not function.

Service Suspension and Automated-Feature Kill-Switch

We reserve the right to suspend, pause, or disable automated features (including autopilot and live-trading signal generation) at any time and without prior notice if:
  • We detect unusual account activity, suspected fraud, or a security incident.
  • A connected third-party service (bank connection, brokerage OAuth, or market data provider) becomes unavailable or returns anomalous data.
  • Continued operation poses a risk to you, other users, or the Service.
  • Required by applicable law, regulation, or a directive from a regulatory authority.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly when automated features are suspended, but pre-suspension notification is not guaranteed.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:
  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its infrastructure.
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers against the Service beyond normal use.
  • Share your account credentials with third parties or use another person's credentials.
  • Use the Service to process financial data belonging to others without their explicit consent.

Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, codebase, agent architecture, and content, is owned by Agence and its operators. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without written permission.

You retain ownership of your personal financial data. By using the Service, you grant Agence a limited license to process your data solely to provide and improve the Service.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. AGENCE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED INSIGHTS, SIGNALS, OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. AI MODELS MAY PRODUCE INCORRECT, BIASED, OR OUTDATED OUTPUT WITHOUT WARNING.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AGENCE AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR INVESTMENT RETURNS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSSES ARISING FROM TRADE SIGNALS, SUGGESTIONS, OR AUTOMATED ACTIONS GENERATED BY THE SERVICE, AND ANY REAL-MONEY TRADING DECISIONS YOU MAKE IN CONNECTION WITH THOSE SIGNALS.

AGENCE'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Force Majeure

Agence shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform arising from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or network outages, failures of third-party APIs or data providers (including bank connections, brokerage OAuth services, or market data feeds), regulatory actions, or extreme market conditions that render automated features unsafe or impractical to operate.

Dispute Resolution — Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Binding Arbitration. Except for claims that qualify for small claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in a court of law. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND AGENCE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU MAY NOT PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions by sending written notice to support@agence.finance within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Termination

You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if continued operation of your account poses a risk to the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Active subscriptions will not be refunded upon termination for cause.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration under these Terms, it shall be resolved in the courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
