This license is granted only for use on devices running Apple's iOS or iPadOS, or Google's Android operating systems, as applicable.

3. Description of Service
CUB Rates aggregates publicly available mortgage rate information from credit unions across the United States. Rates displayed in the App are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, tax, legal, or mortgage advice. Rates shown are estimates based on publicly available data and may not reflect current, actual, or final rates offered to any individual borrower. Eligibility, approval, and final terms are determined solely by the respective lender.
Always verify rates directly with the lender before making any financial decision. NiONlite is not a mortgage broker, lender, or financial advisor, and is not affiliated with any credit union or financial institution displayed in the App.

- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials
- Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
- Notify us immediately at support@nionlite.com of any suspected unauthorized access
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion if we believe it has been used to violate these Terms.

If we change the price of a subscription plan you are on, we will notify you in advance (at least 30 days for material increases, or as required by Apple or Google policies). Your continued use of the subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the updated price. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NIONLITE LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE APP, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NiONlite LLC and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; or (d) any content you submit through the App.

Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid subscription fees unless required by law.
You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App and requesting account deletion as described in Section 8.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and General Provisions) will survive any termination of these Terms.
17. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or your use of the App are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
18. Dispute Resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@nionlite.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally within 60 days, either party may pursue formal proceedings.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts. Nothing in this section limits your right to file a small-claims action in a court of competent jurisdiction.
