Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Jacob Ramilo, an Australian sole trader based in Kellyville Ridge, New South Wales (trading as "ShopBud," "we," "our," or "us"). They govern your use of the ShopBud iOS application, website, and related services (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or guardian must approve your use.

2. The Service

ShopBud helps you create and share shopping lists, record budgets and prices, scan shelf tags and receipts, organise products, and review shopping statistics. Some features use artificial intelligence ("AI") to extract, match, categorise, or sort product information. Features may change, and some require internet access, device permissions, or a paid plan.

3. Accounts

ShopBud supports guest accounts and optional sign-in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for activity under your account, maintaining control of your device and sign-in method, and providing accurate information. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use. Guest accounts may not be recoverable if you sign out, delete the App, lose your device, or clear its data. Linking a guest account to Apple or Google may enable account recovery and cross-device sync.

4. Subscriptions, Lifetime Access, and Billing

ShopBud may offer monthly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions, a lifetime in-app purchase, and introductory trials. Available products, prices, trial eligibility, and included features are shown in the App before purchase. "Lifetime" means access to the purchased ShopBud tier for as long as we make that tier available; it does not guarantee that the Service, every feature, or compatibility with future devices will exist forever.

• Apple processes all purchases. Apple's Media Services Terms and your App Store storefront rules govern billing, cancellation, and refunds.
• Auto-renewing subscriptions continue until cancelled through your Apple Account settings. To avoid renewal or a charge after a trial, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period or trial ends.
• Deleting the App or your ShopBud account does not cancel a subscription.
• Apple determines trial eligibility and handles refund requests. Nothing here limits refund or cancellation rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
• Prices or plan features may change. Apple will provide any notice or request any consent required for subscription price changes.

5. Your Content and Shared Lists

You retain ownership of shopping lists, receipt content, feedback, and other material you submit ("Your Content"). You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, transmit, and display Your Content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted, except for lawful retention, backups, or content shared with others.

You must have the right to submit Your Content and must not include unlawful, infringing, harmful, or unnecessarily sensitive information. Anyone with a valid sharing code may join and edit the associated list. Share codes only with people you trust. You are responsible for changes made by people you invite.

6. AI and Shopping Information

Scans, AI output, product categories, prices, totals, savings, and statistics may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. You must review important information against the product, shelf label, receipt, and retailer terms before relying on it. ShopBud does not set retailer prices, sell the scanned products, guarantee availability or savings, or provide financial, tax, nutritional, health, or other professional advice.

7. Acceptable Use

You must not:

• Use the Service unlawfully or violate another person's privacy, intellectual-property, or other rights.
• Upload malicious code or content you do not have permission to process.
• Access another person's account or shared list without permission, or expose a sharing code without authorisation.
• Interfere with, overload, probe, scrape, or bypass the Service's security or access controls.
• Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except where applicable law expressly permits it.
• Use automated means to access the Service or use the Service to develop or train a competing model or service without our written permission.

8. Our Intellectual Property

We and our licensors own the Service, including its software, design, branding, and content other than Your Content. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties, including Apple, Google Firebase, Google AI services, Google Sign-In, and Qonversion. Their services and terms may apply to your use of their features. We are not responsible for third-party services, outages, or changes outside our control, but these Terms do not limit any responsibility we have under applicable law.

10. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your ShopBud account in the App. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or misuse the Service. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, and liability provisions.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, permanent availability, or that content and AI output will be accurate. We disclaim implied warranties to the extent they may lawfully be disclaimed. Nothing in these Terms excludes guarantees, warranties, or other rights that applicable consumer law says cannot be excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ShopBud and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, opportunities, or anticipated savings arising from the Service. Our aggregate liability relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD $100 (or local equivalent). These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable law so provides.

13. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms. We will post revised Terms and update the date above. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required. Changes apply prospectively from their stated effective date. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

14. General

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Subject to any mandatory consumer protection or jurisdiction rights available where you live, the courts of New South Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Before starting formal proceedings, you and ShopBud agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute by email. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or exercising a right to proceed directly under applicable law. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a business transfer.
