Financial Planning Disclaimer
Effective date: May 26, 2026 · Governing law: Texas, United States
BuyTune's financial planning tools are illustrative calculators, not professional financial plans. All projections are based on user-provided assumptions and simplified models. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed financial planner or CFP.
1. Nature of Financial Planning Tools
BuyTune provides the following financial planning features:
- Retirement projection calculators
- Net worth tracking (assets and liabilities)
- Cash flow modeling (income and expenses)
- Savings rate analysis
- Financial health scoring
- Life event planning (home purchase, major expenses)
- AI-generated financial planning commentary
These tools are educational calculators. They are designed to help you understand your financial situation, visualize scenarios, and explore possibilities. They are not a comprehensive financial plan prepared by a licensed professional.
2. Projections Are Illustrative Only
Retirement projections, net worth forecasts, and savings trajectories displayed on BuyTune are based on:
- Data you manually enter (may be incomplete or inaccurate)
- User-defined assumptions (expected return, inflation rate, savings rate)
- Simplified mathematical models that do not account for all real-world variables
- Historical averages that may not reflect future conditions
Projections are not predictions. Actual outcomes will differ from illustrated scenarios due to market volatility, unexpected life events, tax changes, inflation, employment changes, and other factors. BuyTune makes no representation that any projection will be achieved.
3. What These Tools Do Not Account For
BuyTune's financial planning tools do not consider:
- Taxes — Income tax, capital gains tax, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), Roth conversion strategies, or state-specific tax rules
- Social Security — Estimated benefits, optimal claiming age, or spousal benefit strategies
- Estate planning — Inheritance, beneficiary designations, trusts, or estate taxes
- Insurance — Life insurance, disability insurance, long-term care, or health care costs in retirement
- Debt strategy — Mortgage payoff optimization, student loan repayment, or debt prioritization beyond what you enter
- Pension or defined benefit plans — Employer pension income or other guaranteed income sources not manually entered
- Behavioral finance — Your actual behavior during market downturns or major life transitions
A comprehensive financial plan prepared by a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) would address all of these factors.
4. AI-Generated Financial Planning Commentary
Some financial planning features include AI-generated commentary (currently powered by Google Gemini). This commentary:
- Is generated based on the data you have entered and general financial principles
- May not reflect your complete financial situation
- Is not reviewed by a licensed financial professional before being displayed
- Should be treated as a starting point for your own thinking, not a recommendation to act
See our AI Disclaimer for more detail on AI limitations.
5. No Fiduciary Relationship
BuyTune is not a fiduciary. No financial planning tool, calculation, or AI-generated commentary on BuyTune creates a fiduciary duty, adviser-client relationship, or obligation for BuyTune to act in your financial interest. A licensed financial planner or registered investment adviser has legal duties to you that BuyTune does not.
6. Seek Professional Advice for Major Decisions
BuyTune's tools are most useful for awareness, exploration, and tracking — not for replacing professional advice on major financial decisions. Consider consulting a licensed professional for:
- Retirement planning decisions, especially within 10 years of your target retirement date
- Decisions involving significant tax consequences
- Estate planning and inheritance matters
- Major investment decisions (large purchases, concentrated positions, illiquid assets)
- Insurance and risk management planning
NAPFA (napfa.org), CFP Board (cfp.net), and FINRA BrokerCheck are resources for finding licensed financial professionals.
7. Data Accuracy Is Your Responsibility
The quality of any financial planning output depends entirely on the accuracy of the data you enter. BuyTune does not verify the accuracy of manually entered assets, liabilities, income, or expense figures. Inaccurate inputs will produce inaccurate outputs. Review your entered data regularly.
8. Limitation of Liability
BuyTune and its operators shall not be liable for any financial loss, missed opportunity, or consequential damages arising from your use of or reliance on any financial planning tool, projection, or AI-generated commentary on the platform. See our Terms of Service for the full limitation of liability.
