Legal

Terms of Service

These are the rules for using TableCash: you must be 18 or older and a U.S. resident, contributions go through Stripe directly to the table organizer, only the organizer can approve money leaving a table, and TableCash does not hold the money: it sits in the Stripe account of the organizer.

Welcome to TableCash. TableCash is operated by TableCash LLC. By using our mobile application, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights.

What Changed (October 2026)

The newest changes come first.

Earlier in October 2026:

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using TableCash, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Third-Party Agreements

By using TableCash, you also agree to be bound by Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement, which govern how Stripe processes payments and holds the money. These agreements are available at https://stripe.com/legal/connect-account. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Stripe's agreements, Stripe's agreements shall govern how payments are processed and how the money is held.

2. Description of Service

TableCash is a group fundraising and collection platform that allows designated organizers ("Table Creators") to collect contributions from participants for a stated purpose.

2.1 How It Works

2.2 Agency Relationship

2.4 Starting a Table on the Website

You can build a table at tablecash.app/start before installing the app. The website saves a draft (the table name, purpose, type, goal, and deadline) under a 6-character code for 7 days. Nothing is created and no card is involved until you enter that code in the app, which claims the draft once; a draft cannot be claimed twice, and an unclaimed draft becomes unusable after 7 days. Claiming a draft creates a normal table under these Terms.

2.3 Important Disclosures

3. Eligibility

3.1 Requirements

To use TableCash, you must:

Table Creators can't live in New York. To collect money as a Table Creator, you can't be a New York resident. We check this from the address you give when you set up payouts through Stripe. Members who live in New York can join tables and chip in. We may change which states this applies to as our licensing and regulatory status changes.

3.2 Identity Verification

We may require identity verification (KYC) through Stripe to:

4. Account Registration

4.1 Account Security

4.2 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate.

4.3 Usernames

Your username can't pretend to be someone else, TableCash, or a payment company, and can't be offensive. We may change a username that breaks this rule. You can change your own username twice in any 12 months. When you change it, your old name stays reserved for you for 90 days (one year if it was ever used for a shared table link), and for 90 days the people at your tables see your old name next to your new one. An old name is never given to someone who has shared a table with you.

5. Financial Terms

5.1 Contributions

5.2 Settlements and Distributions

TableCash uses a ledger-based settlement model. Contributions are received by the Table Creator's Stripe Connected Account. When a table member requests money from the table:

5.3 Creator Payouts

Table Creators may cash out money from their own Stripe Connected Account to their linked bank account:

5.3A Contribution Hold Period

Each chip-in is subject to a hold period before that money becomes available for cash out. The hold begins when the chip-in is received, not when the Creator requests a withdrawal:

This is a rolling window. Only chip-ins newer than the hold period are locked. Older contributions that have cleared the hold are available for cash out once Stripe makes them available. A bank payment's hold starts when it goes through. Once the hold clears, the Creator may withdraw by standard transfer (2-3 business days). Identity verification is completed through Stripe Identity (see Section 3.2). The applicable hold and available balance are displayed before you confirm a cash out.

5.4 Fee Schedule

The TableCash fee is the price of using TableCash to collect money. It is taken only when a card is charged, it is the same for every card payment, and it is shown before you confirm. Promising and taking a promise back are free. Payout fees are deducted from the withdrawal amount and displayed before confirmation. AI features are free (Section 5.10). We reserve the right to modify fees with 30 days notice.

5.5 How Long a Table Lasts

5.6 Taxes

5.7 Chargebacks & Disputes

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer for a contribution you made to a table:

If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us at support@tablecash.io before filing a dispute with your bank.

Creator notice, you bear contributor chargeback losses. Because every contribution is a Destination Charge to your Stripe Connected Account, a chargeback filed by *a contributor* is debited from *your* Connected Account, not the contributor's, even if you have already sent that money to a member off-platform or cashed it out to your bank. This can leave your account with a negative balance for which you are personally liable, and Stripe can take that amount from your bank account (see Section 8A). A chargeback may be filed by the contributor's bank up to several months after the contribution, which can be longer than the contribution hold period in Section 5.3A. Only accept contributions from people you know and trust, and keep money on your table until you are confident a contribution will not be disputed.

5.8 When Money Is Available

5.9 Recurring Contributions (Auto Chip-In / Autopay)

When a Table Creator sets a table to repeat (a "recurring table"), a member may opt in to automatic contributions ("autopay") so their share is charged each time a new cycle starts. Autopay follows the table's repeat schedule; members do not set their own schedule.

5.9.1 Authorization

5.9.2 When Your Share Changes

5.9.3 Advance Notice, Statement Descriptor, and Receipts

5.9.4 Pauses and Failures

5.9.5 Cancellation

5.9.6 House Payment Plans

On a house table, the Table Creator can set a payment plan: your share is split into set amounts, each due on a set date. You see every amount and date and agree to the plan before it applies to you.

5.10 AI Features and TableCash Plus

Every table can use the AI features at no charge: a bill scanner (reads a photo of a bill to help fill in a goal) and an AI planner (turns a described intention into suggested plans).

5.10.1 Fair-Use Limits

5.10.2 TableCash Plus (Existing Subscribers Only)

5.10.3 Billing, Cancellation, and Refunds (Existing Subscribers)

5.10.4 How AI Reads Your Content

5.11 Promises ("Only charged if it fills")

In the app, committing is called Promise and withdrawing a commitment is called Take back; this section uses "commit" and "commitment" for the same things. When creating a table, a Table Creator may choose a commitment table instead of a pay-now table. On a commitment table nobody pays up front. Members save a card and commit an amount to a goal, and every card saved to that goal is charged at once only if the group reaches that goal by its deadline. If a goal is not reached, nobody is charged for it.

5.11.1 How a Commitment Table Works

5.11.2 Authorization to Charge Your Saved Card

5.11.3 The Charge Is All or Nothing

5.11.4 When a Card Fails

5.11.5 Changing or Withdrawing a Commitment

5.11.6 If a Goal Is Not Reached

5.11.7 Refunds When a Funded Goal Is Cancelled

6. Table Rules

6.1 Table Creators

The Table Creator is the organizer and designated payee of the table. Table Creators:

6.2 Contributors (Table Members)

Contributors are participants who put money on a table. Contributors:

6.3 Creator Responsibility

6.4 Contributor Responsibility

6.5 Disputes

6.6 Moderators

6A. Rooms

6A.1 What Rooms Is

Rooms lets a person who lives in a shared home post a room, and lets people looking for a room ask about it. TableCash doesn't own, rent, inspect, or manage any room, and isn't part of any agreement you make with someone you meet through Rooms. The person who posts a room is responsible for what they post and for having the right to rent it. Rooms moves no money. We may turn Rooms off at any time.

6A.2 Who Can Post or Ask

6A.3 What You Can Post

6A.4 Requests and Chats

6A.5 No Money Before You Move In

TableCash never asks anyone to pay for a room. Never send a deposit, a fee, or any payment to someone you met in Rooms before you've seen the room in person and moved in. If anyone asks you to, report them. TableCash is not responsible for money you send to someone you met in Rooms.

6A.6 Zero Tolerance

No harassment, threats, sexual messages, hate, scams, fake rooms, spam, or impersonation, in rooms, requests, or messages. We don't tolerate it, and we act on it.

6A.7 Reports and What We Do

6A.8 Meeting People

You decide who to talk to and who to meet. A video call first is a good idea, tell someone where you're going, and you can leave anytime. After a viewing, the app asks both people whether it went OK. What we keep from Rooms, and for how long, is in our Privacy Policy (Section 1.11).

7. Acceptable Use

7.1 You Agree To:

7.2 You Agree NOT To:

8. Prohibited Activities

Violation may result in immediate termination, fund freezing, and reporting to authorities.

8A. Creator Chargeback Liability

8A.1 Creator's Financial Responsibility

As a Table Creator, you acknowledge and agree that:

8A.2 Creator's Duty to Resolve Disputes

Before a contributor files a bank dispute, we encourage resolution between Creator and Contributor. Creators should:

8A.3 How Disputes Are Answered

Upon any chargeback event, TableCash reserves the right to:

8B. Platform Freeze Authority

8B.1 Right to Freeze

TableCash may immediately freeze any account, table, or pending transaction without prior notice if:

8B.2 Effect of Freeze

When we freeze a Table Creator's account, every table they created is frozen too. (This happens when an account is frozen, whatever the reason; suspending an account does not freeze its tables or refund anything.) During a freeze:

If a freeze is lifted, refunds that haven't gone out yet are cancelled. Refunds already made are not reversed.

8B.3 Resolution

8C. Money Credited by Mistake and System Errors

8C.1 No Right to Erroneous Credits

If a system error, bug, or technical malfunction results in money being credited to your account or table in excess of what you are owed:

8C.2 Reconciliation Rights

TableCash performs regular reconciliation between our internal ledger and Stripe's records. We reserve the right to:

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our Property

TableCash, including its design, code, and branding, is owned by us. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our intellectual property.

9.2 Feedback

Any feedback or suggestions you provide may be used by us without obligation to you.

10. Disclaimers

Partner Links

Some links in the app go to partner stores (like Vrbo). TableCash may earn a commission from the partner store when you book or buy there. It never changes your price. Anything you book or buy through a partner store is between you and that store. Our Privacy Policy (Section 9.5) says what we send to pick a store and what the link carries.

10.1 "As Is" Service

TableCash is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including:

10.2 No Financial Advice

We do not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Consult appropriate professionals for advice.

10.3 Third-Party Actions

We are not responsible for:

10.4 Service Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The app may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

10.5 In-App Support Assistant

The in-app support chat first answers from a fixed set of written answers. When it cannot, your question may be answered by an AI model run by Anthropic (Claude), using only a read-only summary of your own account (your first name, each of your live tables with your role, its balance, and how many members it has, your payout setup status, and how many requests are open on your tables) and the last 10 turns of the chat. The assistant can only reply with text and a link to a screen in the app. It cannot move money, approve anything, issue refunds, or change your account, and nothing it says is a promise by TableCash to do any of those things. Its answers can be wrong; for anything that matters, use "Send to support" to reach a person. Questions answered by AI, and anything you send to support, are saved to your support history; questions answered from the written answers are not (see Privacy Policy Section 1.8). Use is limited to 20 AI answers per hour per account.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TableCash, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

13. Termination

13.1 By You

You may close your account at any time. You must first:

13.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you:

13.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination:

13.4 Quiet Accounts

We don't close an account because it was quiet. Money in a Table Creator's Stripe account is handled by Stripe, including under unclaimed property laws.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

14.1 Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute between you and TableCash, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except that the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement in Sections 14.3–14.13 is governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.).

14.2 Informal Resolution First (Required)

Before starting an arbitration or filing any claim, you and TableCash agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days. To begin, send a written Notice of Dispute to support@tablecash.io describing the dispute and the relief sought. You and TableCash will attempt in good faith to resolve it. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the Notice, either party may begin arbitration. This informal-resolution requirement is a condition precedent to arbitration, and the statute of limitations is tolled while the parties comply with it.

14.3 Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

You and TableCash agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the TableCash service, or the relationship between you and TableCash (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether arising before, during, or after the termination of these Terms) will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in a court of law, except as expressly stated in Section 14.4 (Exceptions).

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, if the AAA is unavailable, by another established arbitration provider the parties agree on in writing) and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding Section 14.3, either party may: (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from reporting conduct to, or seeking relief from, a government agency.

14.5 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND TABLECASH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS 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 and may not preside over any form of class, representative, or private-attorney-general proceeding.

14.6 Waiver of Jury Trial

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND TABLECASH EACH KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

14.7 Delegation

The arbitrator, and not any court, has the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or part of it is void or voidable, except that a court (not the arbitrator) decides any challenge to the Class Action Waiver in Section 14.5.

14.8 Fair Procedure (Mutual Rights)

The arbitration will afford both parties the same rights. Both you and TableCash have an equal right to reasonable discovery, to be heard, and, where the applicable arbitration rules provide one, to the same rights of appeal. No procedure or ruling will bind a party who did not receive notice and an opportunity to be heard. If a mass or coordinated set of similar claims is filed, any bellwether or batching process must apply equally to both sides and may not make any ruling binding on a claimant who was not a party to it.

14.9 Arbitration Costs

TableCash will pay arbitration filing, administration, and arbitrator fees to the extent required by the applicable AAA rules and applicable law; where those rules do not allocate fees, each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs except as otherwise required by law or awarded by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of a claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the allocation of fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

14.10 Location and Format

Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will take place in the U.S. county where you reside, or be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or on documents only, at your election where the AAA rules permit.

14.11 Right to Opt Out

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (SECTIONS 14.3–14.10) AND THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 14.5). TO OPT OUT, SEND WRITTEN NOTICE TO support@tablecash.io WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE YOU FIRST ACCEPTED THESE TERMS. YOUR NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, THE EMAIL ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT, AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and TableCash will not retaliate against you for opting out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 14.1.

14.12 Severability of This Section

If the Class Action Waiver in Section 14.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request will be severed and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, while all other claims will still proceed in arbitration. If any other provision of Sections 14.3–14.11 is found unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

14.13 Survival

This Section 14 survives termination of your account and these Terms.

15. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will:

Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with changes, you must stop using the app and close your account.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

16.2 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right does not waive that right.

16.3 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or successor.

16.4 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and TableCash.

16.5 Electronic Communications (E-Sign Consent)

By using TableCash, you consent to receive all communications, agreements, disclosures, and notices electronically, including via in-app notifications, push notifications, and email. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, including under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.). You may withdraw this consent by closing your account, but doing so will prevent you from using the service.

16.6 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, power or internet outages, failures of third-party services (including Stripe), or any other event that could not have been reasonably foreseen or prevented.
