Use terms summary

Terms

VA Companion is independent, member-supported software for organizing benefits, health care, forms, and claim-preparation work. Use it as an organizing aid, not as a substitute for official VA decisions, professional advice, or your own review of records.

Free registration No-charge member license Optional support Independent project
Version 1.0

These public website terms summarize expected use. The desktop app may also show an installed EULA during first run.

Member Accounts

Registration is free. Members are responsible for keeping account credentials private, using truthful information, and avoiding impersonation or misleading professional claims.

Desktop Licensing

Desktop licensing is no charge for registered members. The normal member limit is two active personal computers unless changed later by policy or support review.

Downloads

Installer downloads are controlled through signed-in member accounts. Do not redistribute installers, license keys, private links, signing material, admin keys, or API keys.

Community Conduct

Chat rooms and submissions are intended for respectful veteran, dependent, provider, and accredited-person discussion. Spam, harassment, impersonation, scams, and abusive conduct may be removed.

Accuracy

Tools, calculators, scripts, forms, and guides may contain errors or become outdated. Users should verify important information with VA.gov, official forms, accredited representatives, clinicians, or other appropriate professionals.

Availability

Website and desktop features may change, break, be rate-limited, be paused, or be removed. Users should keep their own backups of important local desktop records and exported documents.

Support boundary

Support is appreciated, never required.

Optional support helps offset development, hosting, maintenance, updates, and continued improvement. It does not change access to free registration, member licensing, public tools, or community participation.

No payment required

Registration and member desktop licensing are no charge.

No private memos

Do not put SSNs, VA claim numbers, medical details, or private records in payment memos.

Independent work

VA Companion is not a VA system and is not endorsed by VA.

User review

Review generated letters, forms, scripts, and packets before relying on or sharing them.
