Terms of Service

Agreement to the Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute an agreement between you (the "User") and the individual identified in the Contact section below (the "Operator"), and govern the use of the Simple Price Tracker website, application and emails (together, the "Service"). By creating an account (an "Account") or using the Service, the User agrees to be bound by the Terms and by the Privacy Policy, which sets out how the Operator handles the User's personal information ("Personal Data"). A person who does not agree to the Terms shall not use the Service.

Eligibility

The User must be at least 13 years of age. A User who is under 18 years of age must have the consent of a parent or guardian, who thereby agrees to the Terms on that User's behalf. A person whom the Operator has previously blocked shall not use the Service unless the Operator has informed that person that use is permitted.

Accounts

• The User shall provide an email address that the User actively monitors, as the address is required for the delivery of alerts. Email addresses provided by disposable or throwaway email services are not accepted.
• The User shall keep the Account password confidential and is responsible for all activity that occurs under the Account.
• Where a User signs in with Google and an Account already exists with the same verified email address, the Operator shall link the two.
• The User shall notify the Operator without delay at support@simplepricetracker.app upon suspecting that another person is using the Account.

Description of the Service

The User adds links to products on online stores. Approximately once a day, the Service visits those public product pages, reads the price and stock status, and sends the User by email the alerts that the User has selected. The User may also request an additional check from time to time. The Service displays the limits that apply, such as the number of items that a User may track and the number of additional checks permitted each day. The Operator may change these limits in order to keep the Service free of charge and in good working order.

To read certain pages, the Service uses automated tools, including AI services. The Service does not log in to stores, make purchases or act on the User's behalf on a store's website.

Prices and Store Information

• Verification before purchase. Prices, stock and product details are obtained from store websites and may be inaccurate, out of date, missing or different in the User's location. The User shall verify them on the store's own website before making a purchase, and the store's own website shall at all times be the final authority.
• Late or missed alerts. The Service checks approximately once a day, and some stores block automated visits or change their pages. The Operator does not undertake to detect every price change.
• Independence. The Operator is not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any store that is tracked. Store names, logos and product pictures are the property of their respective owners and appear solely to show the User what is being tracked.
• Purchases. Any purchase is solely between the User and the store. The Operator sells nothing and is not a party to any purchase.
• Store opt-out. Where a store asks the Operator to stop checking its pages, or where the Operator cannot check a store reliably, the Operator may stop tracking that store and notify affected Users.

Prohibited Conduct

The User shall not:

• create more than one Account for the User's own use, or use several Accounts to circumvent limits;
• use scripts, bots or any other automated means to use the Service, or attempt to circumvent its limits;
• add links to anything that is illegal, that is harmful or that is not a product page;
• attempt to break, overload, probe or circumvent the security of the Service;
• copy, resell or republish the Service or its price data as the User's own;
• use the Service to violate any law or the rights of any person.

Enforcement

To protect the free Service, the Operator keeps daily counts of activity on each Account and flags Accounts that appear unusual (as explained in the Privacy Policy). The Operator may limit, pause or block an Account where the Operator reasonably believes that the Account breaches the Terms or places the Service or other Users at risk. A blocked Account cannot sign in, receives no emails, and its items cease to be checked. The Operator shall endeavor to give prior warning where practicable, but in some cases may need to act immediately. A User who believes that such action was taken in error may email support@simplepricetracker.app.

Shared Price Data

When several Users track the same product, those Users share a single price history. When any User checks the product, all Users see the updated price. Other Users can see the number of Users watching a product, but never their identities. The Operator never shows a User's name or email address to other Users.

User Content

The User retains any rights that the User holds in the content that the User adds, such as item names and tags ("Content"). The User grants the Operator permission to store and use Content solely to operate the Service for that User. Product details and price history are not personal and are shared between Users, and may therefore remain in the Service after the User removes an item or deletes the Account.

Email Communications

By creating an Account, the User agrees that the Operator may send the User account emails (such as sign-in codes) and the price alerts and reminders described in the Privacy Policy. The User may turn off alerts and reminders at any time in Settings or by means of the link in any email. Product news is sent only where the User chooses to receive it.

Donations

The Service is free of charge to all Users. Where a User chooses to donate through PayPal:

• the donation is a voluntary gift to the developer and not a payment for anything, and donors receive the same Service as all other Users;
• the Service is a personal project and not a charity, and donations are therefore not tax-deductible;
• donations are non-refundable, except where the law requires otherwise;
• PayPal processes the payment under its own terms, and the Operator never has access to the User's card or bank details.

Changes to the Service

The Service is provided free of charge and on an as-is basis. The Operator may change, add or remove features, or suspend the Service for maintenance. Where the Operator decides to discontinue the Service, the Operator shall, where practicable, give Users at least 30 days' notice by email so that Users may retain any information that they require.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Operator endeavors to keep the Service accurate and operational. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, including as to accuracy, availability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by inaccurate or late prices, missed alerts, store websites, or decisions made by the User on the basis of the Service. The total liability of the Operator for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount paid by the User to the Operator in the preceding 12 months and 50 US dollars. Nothing in the Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, or removes any rights that the User has under consumer protection laws applicable where the User lives.

Termination

• Termination by the User. The User may leave at any time by deleting the Account in Settings. The Operator stops emailing the User immediately and deletes the Account after approximately 30 days, during which period the User may sign in and keep the Account. Deletion is carried out as described in the Privacy Policy.
• Termination by the Operator. The Operator may end or block an Account if the User breaches the Terms, if the law requires it, or if the Operator ceases to offer the Service.

The sections entitled Prices and Store Information, User Content, Donations, Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability shall continue to apply after an Account ends.

Changes to the Terms

The Operator may update the Terms. In that event, the Operator shall change the version and date at the top of the Terms. For material changes, the Operator shall give notice in the app before they take effect, and by email where they affect the User's rights. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. A User who does not accept the revised Terms may delete the Account.

General Provisions

If any provision of the Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to apply. A failure by the Operator to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later. The User may not transfer the Account or the Terms to any other person. The Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between the User and the Operator regarding the Service.

Contact

The Service is operated by Rotem, an independent developer, who is the Operator for the purposes of the Terms. Questions regarding the Terms may be sent by email to support@simplepricetracker.app.
