Terms of Use

Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old (or older, if your country requires it) to use Shelf Life.
• Give a real email address, keep your password private, and tell us if you think someone else is using your account.
• You’re responsible for what happens in your account.

What you add

You keep ownership of what you add (names, pictures, items, notes). You give us permission to store it and show it to the people you share it with, only so the app can work. Only add things you have the right to share.

What isn’t allowed

Don’t use Shelf Life, including names, usernames, profile pictures, group, inventory and item names, and notes, to:

• Harass, bully, threaten or intimidate anyone.
• Post hateful content that attacks people for who they are (such as race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age).
• Post sexual content, nudity, or anything that sexualizes minors.
• Post violent, gory or shocking content, or encourage self-harm or violence.
• Pretend to be someone else, or mislead people about who you are.
• Send spam or unwanted invites, or promote scams.
• Share other people’s private information without their permission.
• Break the law, or help others break it.
• Interfere with the app: hacking, overloading it, getting around its limits or security checks, or accessing other people’s data.

Reporting and blocking

• You can report someone from their page in a group, or from an invite. Reports go to us, not to the person reported, and we review every report.
• You can block someone so they can’t invite you to groups. You can leave any group, and group owners can remove members.
• If someone is in danger, contact local emergency services first.

What we may do

If someone breaks these terms, we may remove or reset content (such as a name or picture), stop them using the app for a while, or close their account. We decide based on how serious it is and whether it has happened before. If you think we made a mistake, email us.

Paid plans

• Plans are subscriptions sold through Google Play. Google Play handles payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds, under its own terms.
• Plans renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play. If you cancel, the plan lasts until the end of the period you paid for.
• Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription. Cancel it in Google Play first.
• We may change prices or plan limits. Price changes follow Google Play’s rules for telling you in advance.

The service

• We work to keep Shelf Life running and your data safe, but the app is provided “as is”. We can’t promise it will always be available or free of mistakes.
• Expiry dates and reminders are there to help, not a guarantee that food is safe. They assume the date you enter is right and that food is stored properly, at the right temperature, the whole time. Heat, power cuts, opened packaging and other changes can make food spoil sooner. Always check food yourself before eating it.
• To the extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses from using the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Ending

You can stop using Shelf Life and delete your account at any time. We may close accounts that break these terms.

Changes

If we change these terms, we’ll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app before important changes take effect. If you keep using Shelf Life after that, you accept the new terms.
