Terms of service
These terms govern your use of the ShopNav mobile app and website, provided by Edgar Birlew ("ShopNav", "we"). By using ShopNav you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
1. What ShopNav is
ShopNav is a shopping-assistance tool. It helps you build lists, compare prices across nearby stores, choose stores, plan routes, hand off to retailer pickup, and (optionally) contribute receipt data to improve local price accuracy. ShopNav does not sell groceries, does not process payments, and is not affiliated with any retailer named in the app.
2. Beta software disclosure
Version 0.9.x is a controlled beta. Features may change, some prices are estimated or drawn from public weekly ads, and coverage outside metro Atlanta may be thin. Always confirm final prices and product availability with the retailer at checkout.
3. Pricing information disclaimer
ShopNav displays prices from a mix of sources, each labeled in-app: retailer API, weekly ad, user-contributed receipt, estimated/demo, or unavailable. Prices may be out of date, incomplete, or incorrect. Loyalty prices require an active loyalty account with the retailer. ShopNav is not responsible for pricing errors, unavailable products, or differences between displayed prices and the price you pay at the retailer.
4. Your account
You may use ShopNav anonymously or with an email, SMS, or Google-linked account. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide and for keeping your account secure. Do not share your login codes. You must be at least 13 years old.
5. Contributed content
When you contribute receipts, product corrections, or shared lists, you grant ShopNav a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content to operate and improve ShopNav (for example, using aggregated receipt prices to compute average local prices). You represent that you have the right to contribute the content. Contributed receipt images are retained for up to 30 days and then deleted; extracted structured data may be retained in de-identified aggregate.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from ShopNav.
- Interfere with the service, its infrastructure, or other users' use of it.
- Upload receipts, images, or content that you do not have the right to share, or that contain third-party personal information beyond what a normal receipt reveals.
- Use ShopNav to build a competing pricing database via bulk automated requests.
- Use ShopNav for any unlawful purpose or to violate any third party's rights.
7. Third-party services
ShopNav uses third-party services (see privacy policy). Your interactions with those services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
8. Retailer handoff
When you tap "Order for pickup" or a similar action, ShopNav may open the retailer's app or website. All purchases, orders, and payments happen with the retailer directly, under the retailer's terms. ShopNav is not a party to those transactions.
9. Intellectual property
ShopNav, the ShopNav name and logo, and the app's design and code are the property of Edgar Birlew (ShopNav). Third-party retailer names, logos, and product names remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
10. Warranty disclaimer
ShopNav is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that ShopNav will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ShopNav (Edgar Birlew) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising from your use of ShopNav. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or ShopNav will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100).
12. Termination
You may stop using ShopNav and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute lies in the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms and will post the new effective date. Continued use after the change constitutes acceptance.
