Terms of Service

These terms cover the free invoice tool at alderinvoices.com, including the website, the REST API and the MCP server (the "Service"). The Service is run by Nivara Technologies Inc., doing business as Alder ("Alder", "we"). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you use it for a business, you agree on that business's behalf.

What the Service does

You can build an invoice and download it as a PDF without an account. If you connect a Stripe account, you can also publish invoices with a pay link, take full or partial payments, and track what is still owed. The Service is free. Alder charges no subscription and takes no share of your payments.

Stripe and your money

• Payments are processed by Stripe on your own Stripe account. Funds, fees, payouts, refunds and disputes are between you, your customer and Stripe, under Stripe's Services Agreement. Alder never holds or moves your funds.
• Connecting Stripe lets the Service create payment pages and read payment status on your account. You can disconnect at any time in your Stripe Dashboard.
• Stripe's normal processing fees apply, the same as any payment you take yourself.

Your responsibilities

• The invoices you create are yours. You are responsible for their content, including amounts, tax, and the details of the customers you bill.
• Only bill for real goods or services, and only add customer details you are allowed to share with a service provider.
• Don't use the Service for fraud, impersonation, or anything unlawful or prohibited by Stripe. Don't try to get around its limits, and don't disrupt it.
• Keep your API keys secret. Anything done with your key counts as done by you. Revoke a key on the Developers page if it leaks.

Limits and changes

The Service has usage limits, currently 500 invoices per account and 120 API requests per minute per key. We may change features or limits, and we may suspend accounts that break these terms or put other users or Stripe at risk. We may also discontinue the Service. If we do, we'll give connected users reasonable notice so they can export their invoices.

No warranty

The Service is provided free and "as is", without warranties of any kind. Keep your own records. The PDF and your Stripe Dashboard are the records of what you billed and what was paid.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Alder is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Alder's total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to US$100.

Privacy

How we handle data is described in the Privacy Policy.

General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. If we change them, we'll update the date above. Using the Service after a change means you accept the new terms. Questions: founders@meetalder.com.
