Terms of Use and End User License Agreement

Effective Date: August 17th 2026

These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement ("Terms") constitute a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Ben Anderson Music LLC ("Ben Anderson Music," "we," "us," or "our") concerning your use of the GigNotes application ("GigNotes," the "App," or the "Service").

Please read these Terms carefully before using GigNotes. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using GigNotes, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use GigNotes.

1. About GigNotes

GigNotes is a personal financial record-keeping and organizational application intended primarily for freelancers, musicians, creatives, and other individuals who wish to organize information concerning income, expenses, customers, transportation, receipts, and related business records.

GigNotes may allow you to:

  • Record income and expenses;
  • Record customer names and contact information;
  • Record transportation and travel information, including starting and ending addresses;
  • Use Apple MapKit and related Apple services for address and mapping functionality;
  • Calculate totals such as income, expenses, and income less expenses;
  • Enter an estimated tax percentage and calculate an estimated tax amount based on information entered by you;
  • Scan and store receipts or other documents;
  • Generate summary reports in PDF format;
  • Export detailed records in CSV format for your own use or for review by an accountant or other professional; and
  • Store information locally on your device and, where enabled and supported, synchronize information through Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services.

Features may change, be added, removed, or discontinued from time to time.

2. Not Tax, Accounting, Legal, or Financial Advice

GigNotes is a record-keeping and organizational tool. It is not a tax preparation service, accounting service, legal service, investment service, financial advisory service, or professional tax or accounting adviser.

GigNotes does not provide tax, accounting, legal, investment, or financial advice.

Any calculations, estimates, reports, categorizations, or other information generated by GigNotes—including estimated tax amounts—are provided solely as informational and organizational tools based on information and assumptions entered or selected by you.

In particular, an estimated tax amount displayed by GigNotes is not a determination of your actual tax liability and should not be treated as such.

Tax laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and may change over time. Your actual tax obligations may depend on circumstances that GigNotes does not consider, including but not limited to income sources, deductions, credits, filing status, business structure, jurisdiction, applicable tax laws, and other personal or business circumstances.

You are solely responsible for determining your tax, accounting, legal, and financial obligations and for ensuring that your tax filings and other financial records are accurate and complete.

You should consult a qualified tax professional, accountant, attorney, or other appropriate professional regarding your individual circumstances when appropriate.

3. Accuracy of User Information

GigNotes relies substantially on information entered, imported, scanned, calculated, or otherwise provided by you.

You are solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy and completeness of information you enter into GigNotes;
  • Reviewing information before relying upon or exporting it;
  • Correctly categorizing income, expenses, travel, receipts, and other records;
  • Determining which records are relevant to your tax or accounting obligations;
  • Verifying calculations and estimates;
  • Maintaining appropriate supporting documentation;
  • Determining whether particular expenses or other amounts are deductible or otherwise reportable; and
  • Ensuring that information provided to your accountant, tax professional, government agency, or other third party is accurate and appropriate.

GigNotes does not independently verify the accuracy, legality, deductibility, or tax treatment of information entered by you.

4. Calculations and Estimates

GigNotes may perform mathematical calculations using information that you provide.

For example, GigNotes may calculate amounts such as:

Income − Expenses = Net Income

GigNotes may also calculate an estimated tax amount using an estimated tax percentage entered by you.

These calculations are mathematical or informational calculations and are not professional determinations of your income, taxable income, tax liability, deductible expenses, or other financial obligations.

You are responsible for reviewing calculations and determining whether they are appropriate for your circumstances.

We do not guarantee that any calculation, estimate, report, or other output generated by GigNotes will correspond to an amount required or accepted by a taxing authority, accountant, financial institution, or other third party.

5. Reports and Exports

GigNotes may provide PDF summaries and CSV exports of information contained in the App.

These reports and exports are provided as organizational tools.

You are responsible for reviewing exported information for accuracy and completeness before providing it to an accountant, tax professional, government agency, or other third party.

The availability of a particular report or export format does not mean that the report or export is sufficient for tax filing, accounting, legal, regulatory, or other professional purposes.

You should retain any records and supporting documentation required by applicable law or recommended by your tax or accounting professional.

6. Receipt and Document Scanning

GigNotes may allow you to scan receipts or other documents using supported device capabilities.

Scanning functionality may depend on your device, operating system, camera, lighting, document quality, and other factors.

GigNotes does not guarantee that a scanned document, image, text recognition result, or other extracted information will be accurate, complete, legible, or suitable as an original or legally required record.

You are responsible for reviewing scanned information and retaining original documents when necessary or appropriate.

7. Location, Addresses, and Map Functionality

GigNotes may allow you to record starting and ending addresses associated with transportation or travel and may use Apple MapKit and related Apple services to display maps or assist with address-related functionality.

Map information, addresses, routes, distances, and related information may be incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, or changed over time.

You are responsible for verifying addresses, routes, distances, and other location information before relying upon it for financial, tax, business, travel, or other purposes.

Your use of Apple's mapping functionality may also be subject to Apple's applicable terms and conditions.

8. Your Data and Storage

GigNotes is designed to store your records locally on your device and, where enabled and supported, synchronize those records through Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services.

You understand that data stored on or synchronized through your devices and Apple's services may be subject to technical limitations, synchronization delays, service interruptions, device failures, software errors, account issues, or other circumstances outside our control.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate copies or exports of important records.

We strongly recommend periodically exporting important GigNotes information, particularly records that you need to retain for tax, accounting, legal, or business purposes.

Your use of iCloud and related Apple services is also subject to Apple's applicable terms and policies.

Additional information concerning how GigNotes handles personal information and data is provided in the GigNotes Privacy Policy.

9. No Guarantee of Data Preservation

Although we intend GigNotes to store and synchronize your information reliably, we do not guarantee that your records will never be lost, corrupted, duplicated, delayed, or otherwise affected.

We are not responsible for loss of data resulting from circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Device loss, theft, damage, or failure;
  • Software or operating system failures;
  • iCloud or CloudKit failures or interruptions;
  • Synchronization conflicts or delays;
  • User deletion or modification of records;
  • Insufficient device storage;
  • Failure to maintain an appropriate Apple account or iCloud configuration;
  • Network failures;
  • Bugs or defects;
  • Force majeure events; or
  • Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

You remain responsible for maintaining appropriate backups or exports of records that are important to you.
