Terms of Service

Effective: August 11, 2026

These Terms govern your access to and use of Shared Grocery List. By creating an account, accepting an invitation, or using the service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to agree to these Terms. If you use the service for a household or organization, you represent that you have authority to do so. Provide accurate information, safeguard your credentials, and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account unless prohibited by law.

2. The service

Shared Grocery List provides collaborative lists, household memberships, product and barcode lookup, suggestions, reminders, and related tools. Features may be experimental during a limited pilot and may change, pause, or be removed. The service does not sell groceries, process grocery-store purchases, guarantee product information, or replace professional dietary, allergy, medical, or safety advice.

3. Household sharing

Household owners and authorized members can invite, remove, or assign roles to people. Content added to a shared household may be viewed, changed, completed, or deleted by other authorized members. Only invite people you trust. Leaving or being removed ends future access but does not erase activity or content already shared with the household.

4. Acceptable use

You may not misuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, defeat security controls, probe other households, upload unlawful or harmful content, interfere with operation, automate abusive requests, reverse engineer protected portions except where law permits, impersonate another person, or use the service to violate law or another person’s rights.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and back up that content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the service and comply with law. You represent that you have the rights needed to submit the content.

6. Product and third-party information

Barcode and product details may come from Open Food Facts or other third-party sources and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Verify prices, ingredients, allergens, recalls, quantities, and product identity before relying on them. Links to stores or third-party services are provided for convenience; their terms and privacy practices apply when you use them.

7. Camera, notifications, and device features

Camera scanning, notifications, installation, and screen wake-lock require compatible devices, browser support, and user permission. Availability and performance can vary by operating system. You can use manual list entry if scanning is unavailable. Do not operate the app while driving or when it would be unsafe to do so.

8. Fees

The limited pilot is currently free and ad-free. Shared Grocery List does not currently process subscriptions, ad-removal purchases, or grocery payments. If paid features are introduced later, pricing and additional purchase terms will be shown before any charge, and no charge will occur without your affirmative authorization.

9. Suspension, termination, and deletion

You may stop using the service at any time and may request account deletion through available Settings or support controls. We may restrict or suspend access to protect users or the service, investigate misuse, comply with law, or enforce these Terms. Household ownership responsibilities may need to be transferred before an owner can leave or delete certain shared data.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise uninterrupted operation, universal device compatibility, error-free product data, or that reminders will always be delivered. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shared Grocery List and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising from use of the service. Our total liability for claims related to the free pilot will not exceed the greater of amounts you paid us in the prior 12 months or US $100. Applicable law may provide rights that cannot be limited.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us through Help & Support and attempt an informal resolution for 30 days. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking eligible relief in small-claims court or exercising rights that cannot legally be waived.

13. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms as the service changes. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. For legal questions, use the in-app Settings → Help & Support contact route.
