Plain-language summary
Mortcage is a free hobby project built to help people understand their mortgage numbers. It is not financial advice. The numbers it produces are estimates for educational use only — always talk to a licensed professional before making financial decisions. Use it for free, enjoy it, and if it helps you, consider buying the developer a coffee. 😊
1. Nature of the service
Mortcage (mortcage.nz) is a personal hobby project, inspired and developed with the assistance of AI tools. It is provided free of charge, without warranty, and without any commercial intent. The service may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice.
2. Not financial advice
All calculations, figures, estimates, and scenarios produced by Mortcage are for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, mortgage advice, investment advice, or any other regulated financial service.
The accuracy of results depends entirely on the data you enter. Results may not reflect actual loan terms, lender policies, interest rate movements, or your personal financial circumstances. Before making any financial decision — including taking out a mortgage, refinancing, or changing repayment structures — consult a licensed financial adviser or mortgage broker.
3. Acceptable use
By using Mortcage you agree to:
- Use the service for personal, non-commercial, educational purposes only.
- Not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the platform or its APIs.
- Not use the service in any way that violates New Zealand law.
- Take full responsibility for any decisions made based on information from this tool.
4. No warranty
Mortcage is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind — express or implied — including but not limited to accuracy, fitness for purpose, or uninterrupted availability. The developer makes no guarantee that results are correct, complete, or current.
5. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer of Mortcage shall not be liable for any loss or damage — financial or otherwise — arising from use of, or reliance on, this service. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss.
6. Your data
Data you enter into Mortcage (properties, loans, scenarios) is stored to provide the service back to you. It is not used commercially or shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
7. Voluntary contributions
Mortcage is free to use. If you find it useful, voluntary contributions via Ko-fi help cover hosting costs and support continued development. Contributions are entirely optional and provide no additional rights, guarantees, or services.
