Terms of Use
The short version
- Kreds helps you pick a card. It is information, not financial advice, and your card issuer decides what you actually earn.
- Membership is an auto-renewing subscription billed by Apple. Cancel any time in your iPhone's Settings.
- Prices can only go down for you as Kreds grows.
- If you apply for a card through a link in Kreds, we may earn a commission. It never changes which card we recommend. See the Advertiser Disclosure.
These terms are an agreement between you and Alpha Original LLC ("we", "us") for the Kreds app and the kreds-app.netlify.app website. Kreds is distributed through the App Store, so Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, these terms add to it rather than replace it.
What Kreds is
Kreds shows published credit card reward rates and ranks the cards you tell it you hold. Reward programs change without notice, categories are defined by each issuer, and caps, activation requirements and exclusions apply. Kreds does its best to keep its catalog current, but it does not guarantee any rate, is not financial or credit advice, and is not endorsed by or sponsored by any card issuer or payment network. Kreds may receive a commission when you apply for a card through a link in the app; see our Advertiser Disclosure. Confirm anything that matters with your issuer before relying on it.
Applying for cards
Some cards in Kreds show an Apply button. Tapping it opens the issuer's own website. Any application you submit is made with the issuer, on the issuer's terms, and the issuer alone decides whether to approve it. Kreds never sees your application, your credit information, or the issuer's decision. If you are approved, an affiliate network may pay Kreds a commission. That commission does not affect how Kreds ranks cards: rankings are computed from published reward rates and your own spending, and cards with no commission are shown and ranked exactly the same way.
Membership
Kreds Membership is an auto-renewing subscription with weekly, monthly, and yearly options. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or when a free trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your iPhone's Settings under your Apple Account → Subscriptions; deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple under App Store policy.
As Kreds grows we lower membership prices for everyone at published member milestones. A price decrease applies to existing members at their next renewal. We will never raise the price of an existing member's plan without notice and a chance to cancel.
Your account
You may use Kreds without an account. If you sign in with Apple, keep your device secure and let us know about any unauthorized use. You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the app; see the Privacy Policy for what that removes.
Acceptable use
Don't attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to Kreds or its servers, don't use automated tools to scrape or extract the card catalog, and don't use Kreds for anything unlawful. We may suspend access that breaks these rules.
Our content
The Kreds name, logo, design, and catalog are ours or our licensors'. Card names and issuer names belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify products.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
Kreds is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for rewards you did not earn, arising from your use of Kreds. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the date at the top always shows the current version, and we will tell you in the app about changes that matter. Questions: contact@alphaoriginal.co.
Bank linking
If you choose to link a bank account, you authorize Kreds to use Plaid Inc. ("Plaid") as its service provider to retrieve information from your financial institution on your behalf, and you agree to Plaid's End User Privacy Policy. Bank linking is available to members only, may be limited to a number of institutions per account, and may be disconnected by Kreds if your membership lapses. Kreds does not store your bank credentials. Transaction information is used only to provide the features described in the app and is not sold.
