These Terms govern your use of the DeductiBeeiOS application, this website, and any related services (together, the "Service"), provided by Parra("we", "us"). By installing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What DeductiBee is, and is not
DeductiBee is a personal record-keeping tool. It helps you log charitable donations, suggests fair-market-value ranges for donated goods, stores photo evidence alongside those records, and produces documents you can work from at filing time.
DeductiBee is not tax, legal, financial, or accounting advice, and is not a substitute for a qualified professional. It does not prepare or file a return, it does not transmit anything to the IRS, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IRS, Intuit, or any charitable organization.
2. Valuations are estimates, not appraisals
The value ranges in DeductiBee are estimates derived from published valuation sources and the methodology described in IRS Publication 561. They are a starting point for your own determination. Fair market value depends on the actual condition, age, and desirability of your specific property, and the value you report on a return is yours to determine and to substantiate.
A DeductiBee estimate is not a qualified appraisal and cannot be used as one. Where the tax rules require a qualified written appraisal, generally for a deduction above $5,000 for an item or a group of similar items, you must obtain one from a qualified appraiser. See the Instructions for Form 8283 for the conditions that apply to your situation.
Where you override a suggested value, DeductiBee flags that override in its exports. You are responsible for the figures you enter and for the figures you claim.
3. Exports are worksheets, not filed forms
The Form 8283 output DeductiBee produces is a worksheet laid out like Section A of that form. It is a document to work from when completing your return or when handing your records to a preparer. It is not the fileable federal form, it is not submitted anywhere on your behalf, and filing remains entirely your responsibility. The same applies to the CSV, TXF, receipt, and summary outputs.
4. Your data, your device, and your copy of it
You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of what you enter, and for keeping your own backups of anything you consider important. Your records are stored on your device, and optional iCloud sync is a convenience rather than a guaranteed backup service. We hold no copy of your donation data and therefore cannot restore it for you. See the privacy policy for exactly where data lives.
Raw data export is free on every tier and remains available whether or not you have an active subscription. We commit to keeping it that way: a complete, readable copy of your records will not be put behind a paywall.
5. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
Some features require DeductiBee Pro, sold through Apple as an auto-renewing In-App Purchase at $19.99 a year or $2.99 a month, or as a one-time non-consumable purchase at $59.99. Where a free trial is offered, eligibility is determined by Apple, and a trial converts to a paid subscription unless it is canceled before it ends.
Apple, not Parra, handles billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds through your Apple Account. Cancel at any time in Settings on your iOS device; access continues until the end of the period you have paid for. We cannot process a refund directly. Prices are set through Apple's pricing tiers and may change; a price change affecting an existing subscription is handled under Apple's rules, which generally require your consent before a renewal at a higher price.
Ending a subscription does not delete your records. It restores the free tier's limits on new item entries, formatted exports, and sync.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including by reverse engineering it, scraping or bulk-extracting the valuation dataset, redistributing that dataset or any substantial part of it, attempting unauthorised access, or using the Service in any way that violates applicable law.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, text, graphics, and the DeductiBee name and logo, is owned by Parra and protected by intellectual-property law. The valuation dataset, including its selection, arrangement, category structure, and derived value ranges, is our own compiled work and is licensed to you for your personal record-keeping only.
You keep every right in the data you enter. We claim no ownership of your donation records, your photos, or anything you export.
Third-party names used anywhere in the Service or on this site are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to refer to those products factually.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Tax rules change, published valuation sources disagree with each other, and software contains defects. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any value, total, threshold, export, or other output will be accurate, current, or accepted by any tax authority.
9. Limitation of liability
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT PARRA, DEDUCTIBEE, AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISALLOWED DEDUCTIONS, TAX LIABILITIES, PENALTIES, INTEREST, AUDIT COSTS, PROFESSIONAL FEES, OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO: (A) A VALUATION ESTIMATE, TOTAL, OR EXPORT PRODUCED BY THE SERVICE; (B) INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, OR OUTDATED INFORMATION DISPLAYED BY THE SERVICE; (C) BUGS OR DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE; (D) DATA LOSS, CORRUPTION, OR SYNC FAILURE; OR (E) ANY DECISION YOU MAKE, OR FAIL TO MAKE, IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE.
You acknowledge that the deductibility and value of a charitable contribution are fact-specific, that tax authorities make their own determinations, and that you should consult a qualified tax professional before acting on anything the Service shows you. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, and in those places our liability is limited to the maximum extent the law permits.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Parra from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app. Export your data first if you want to keep it; deleting the app removes its local records from that device. We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaches these Terms. Sections 4 and 6 to 13 survive termination.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service changes. Material changes are announced in the app and reflected in the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing here removes a consumer-protection right you have under the law of the place you live that cannot be waived by agreement.
