Terms of Service

Last updated: July 5, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the ShelfAware mobile application (“App”). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Description of the service

ShelfAware provides tools to help you track expiry dates, manage household or grocery items, use reminders and scanning features, and access optional premium functionality. Features may change over time. The App is provided for personal, non-commercial use unless we agree otherwise in writing.

2. Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction and meet any minimum age required by Google Play and local law. If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

3. Your responsibilities

• You are responsible for the accuracy of information you enter and for how you rely on reminders or suggestions.
• You must comply with applicable laws and not misuse the App, including attempting to interfere with security, overload systems, scrape data you are not entitled to, or reverse engineer the App except where law prohibits such a restriction.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and any linked accounts (e.g. Google).
• You must not use the App for unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purposes.

4. AI-assisted scanning

When you use camera or label scanning, the App may send images or text to cloud AI processing to suggest product names and dates. Results are automated estimates, not guarantees. You are responsible for reviewing and confirming any information before relying on it. Do not use scan features for regulated or safety-critical decisions without independent verification.

5. Subscriptions, billing, and free tier

• Paid plans, if offered, are processed by Google Play. Prices, billing cycles, and renewal terms are shown at purchase and in your Play subscription settings.
• Subscriptions may auto-renew until you cancel through Google Play. Refunds and cancellations follow Google Play policies.
• We may change subscription features or pricing with reasonable notice where required by law.
• The free tier may include advertising (native or rewarded ads), usage limits, and fewer features than paid plans, as described in the App. Premium subscribers generally do not see in-app ads from ShelfAware.

6. Advertising and affiliate links

The free tier may show ads served by third-party ad networks. Ad content and data practices are governed by those providers’ policies and our Privacy Policy. The App may also display shopping or sponsored links to retailers. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases through affiliate links at no extra cost to you. We do not endorse every product or retailer linked from the App.

7. Intellectual property

The App, its branding, design, text, graphics, and underlying software are owned by ShelfAware or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for personal use in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the App except as allowed by law.

You retain ownership of content you create in the App. You grant us a license to host, process, and display that content solely to operate and improve the service.

8. Third-party services and data

The App may link to or rely on third parties (e.g. Google, product databases, ad networks, cloud AI processing, retailers). Your use of those services is subject to their terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party content or availability.

9. Backups and availability

Optional backup features (such as Google Drive) are provided on a best-effort basis. You should keep copies of important data. The App may be unavailable during maintenance or due to factors outside our control.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SHELFAWARE OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (USD $50), EXCEPT WHERE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH A CAP (FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR MANDATORY CONSUMER RIGHTS).

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify ShelfAware against claims arising from your misuse of the App, violation of these Terms, or violation of others’ rights, to the extent permitted by law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms or if required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute terms) will survive termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your jurisdiction as required by consumer protection rules, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would apply another law. Some countries require that consumers retain mandatory local rights; nothing in these Terms limits those rights.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms. We will update the “Last updated” date above. Where required, we will provide additional notice. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where your consent is required by law.
