Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 8, 2026
1) Overview
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Instant Cash Advance – Crunchy mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "App"), operated by Crunchy Finance LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the App.
The App serves as a platform that allows users to explore potential loan or cash-advance options offered by third-party financial partners. Crunchy Finance LLC does not provide loans directly. All lending decisions, terms, and contractual agreements are determined solely by the third-party providers.
2) Eligibility
To use the App, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your state)
- Be a lawful resident of the United States
- Possess the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements
- Provide accurate, complete, and current information
- Use the App only for personal, lawful purposes
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access or misuse.
3) Loan Terms, APR & Repayment
3.1 APR Range
Annual Percentage Rates ("APR") represent the yearly cost of credit, including interest and applicable fees. Offers presented through the App may vary up to 35% APR, based on:
- Your credit history and profile
- The loan amount you request
- Chosen repayment term
- Lender underwriting guidelines
- Applicable state and federal laws
All APRs, fees, and total repayment amounts will be fully disclosed before you accept any offer.
3.2 Repayment Terms
Repayment schedules differ by lender and product. Typical terms range from 3 to 24 months. You will always receive a clear repayment plan that specifies:
- The total number of payments
- Individual payment amounts
- Due dates for each payment
3.3 Payment Methods
Payments are generally processed through electronic transfers (ACH debit) from your bank account. Other options may be available depending on the lender. Ensure sufficient funds are available to avoid late fees or returned-payment charges.
3.4 Fees & Charges
Any applicable fees—including origination fees, late fees, returned-payment fees, or expedited processing fees—will be disclosed prior to accepting any offer. All fees are fully transparent; there are no hidden costs.
3.5 Early Payoff
Many lenders allow early repayment without penalties, which may reduce overall interest costs. Review each loan agreement for the specific terms regarding early repayment.

You are required to provide truthful and accurate information and maintain it throughout your use of the App. You may not:
- Submit false, misleading, or incomplete information
- Share your account credentials with others
