Effective Date: February 20, 2024
WELCOME!
Thank you for choosing Grocelio! Grocelio is a technology platform that allows you to track your spending and closely monitor where your money goes. Our mission is to track the changing prices of everyday goods in an honest and detailed manner. We like to compare ourselves to plumbers who point out blown valves and give timely notification of senseless water leaks to save money.
The agreement (the Agreement) you are reading is our Terms of Service (the Terms). Though we’ve tried hard to make our Terms easily readable, you should know that they still form a legally-binding contract between you and Grocelio (Us, We, Our, Grocelio).
Hello! We’re happy you’re joining us! Before the fun starts we need to go over our terms to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all involved. Please read through our Terms of Service, which our lawyers have done a great job putting together. Just like you though, we’re human too, and in today’s world we can all get lost in legal terminology. We included several annotations at the bottom of each section that aren’t part of the contract itself, but are intended to help you navigate this document and get a better understanding of what you’re agreeing to. Most importantly, we want to emphasize to you that:
These Terms of Service work in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. This policy lets you know how and why we will use your personal information. Be sure to check it out! By using our Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service. In other words, you cannot use our Services without agreeing to this Agreement.
If you have any questions while you’re going through our terms, please submit a support ticket. By using the information, programs, software, features and functionality (our Services) whether via https://grocel.io (the Website) or our mobile device application for iOS and Android (the App), you acknowledge that you have read these Terms, that you agree with them, and that you have the capacity to enter into a binding contract with us. We encourage you to read these Terms and if you don’t agree with any of them, not to use our Services. We especially highlight that by using our Services, you are agreeing to:
On certain pages of our Website, we might ask you to agree to extra terms (the Additional Terms). If any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms will prevail.
We reserve the right to modify or otherwise update this Agreement at any time by posting the modified version on our Website and App and revising the Effective Date. If you continue to use our Services after the Agreement has changed or notice of the change has been given, you will be deemed to have accepted such changes. Here we’re basically letting you know that to use our service you have to accept these terms. Also, as we grow and our Services evolve, we may need to modify these Terms. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
Your privacy is extremely important to us! These terms include our privacy policy (the Privacy Policy) found at https://grocel.io/privacy, which outlines how we handle your information. You should read our Privacy Policy carefully before using our Services because by using our Services, you agree that we can collect, use, and share your information (but only in ways consistent with the Privacy Policy). We also want you to know that if these Terms conflict in any way with the Privacy Policy, then these Terms will prevail.
Your Account
You need an account on our App to access our Services. Using our Services requires data network access. You are solely responsible for all fees charged by your wireless service carrier related to your use of the Services (e.g., data usage fees). You shall also be responsible for acquiring and updating the equipment necessary to access our Services.
Only those who are 18 years of age or older and who reside in the United States or Canada are allowed to use or access our Services or to create an account. If you are not legally an adult based on your local laws, you need to get a parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf.
We try to make our Services as accessible as possible, but we know that there is always room for improvement! If you have any trouble accessing our Services, please submit a support ticket. You have to be 18 to use our app! We thought long and hard about this, so at this point in time we set the age requirement to 18. Although we will attempt to make our app compatible with most smartphones, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the right hardware/equipment to use the app.
Security
You are solely responsible for the security, maintenance, and all other aspects of your Grocelio account. By using our Services you agree that the account information you provide us with is accurate. We suggest that you take precautions to safeguard your account, including selecting a strong password. By using our Services, you also agree not to do the following with respect to your account:
While you are free to choose any username that complies with these Terms, be aware that we can reclaim your username at our discretion.
Any issues with account access or security can be addressed by submitting a support ticket. Please contact our support team right away if you know or have reason to believe that your account has been accessed without your permission.
It’s really important that the email address associated with your Grocelio account is accurate and up-to-date. It will be the main way for us to communicate with you and work around account issues. Stay safe out there, the internet world is a scary place.
Grocelio has several levels of services, and some of them are available to users on a paid subscription.
We use third party processors (such as Stripe) to process payments made through our Services. The third parties collect the data and personal information you submit when a payment is made. By submitting personal information to a third party processor, you consent to such collection and storage. The third party processors may be located in countries other than Canada, such as the United States. Please review section 7 below, entitled “Rights of Third parties” for additional information on the relationship of third parties to our Services.
We want to make sure that our Services provide a respectful environment for all of our users. That is why in order to use our Services, you must agree:
It’s really important to us that you only use our Services for their intended manner - there’s no room for creativity here. Please be considerate and don’t do any “unintended” things listed above.
Your Rights
Agreeing to these Terms grants you a license to use and access our Services. You agree to only use your license in a way that complies with these Terms. Your license is personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable and non-sublicensable.
Our Rights
When you register an account with us, you can agree that we may send you certain communications in connection with the Website or the App. For example, you can agree to receive updates and notifications from us regarding your account by email, phone call, or via the App.
While we appreciate any feedback you have for us, you should know that you are not entitled to compensation for any ideas you provide us. We may immediately, without notice, terminate this Agreement and/or stop providing access to the Grocelio platform if (i) you have materially breached your obligations under these Terms, the payments terms, our policies or standards, (ii) you have violated applicable laws, regulations or third party rights, or (iii) we believe in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the property of Grocelio or third parties (for example in the case of fraudulent behavior and/or disputing credit charges without cause and without first contacting Grocelio to attempt to resolve the issue).
Grocelio reserves all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms.
We are just like you, outside of Grocelio we probably use the same services and apps, so we understand what it feels like to be bombarded with constant emails and notifications. In this section, we’re letting you know that we will be sending you some communication from time to time regarding the service. Some will be informative, others could include ways to save more money!
Also, while we appreciate all the feedback and ideas, we cannot compensate you for it. However we do leave you with that amazing feeling of knowing your genius idea helped make a wonderful app even better… that’s priceless.
While the majority of our Services are developed and owned by us, some of it will belong to or will be provided by other companies, groups, or agencies (the Third Parties). Third Parties and the services they provide will be subject to their own set of terms, which might be very different from these ones, so make sure you read them before using any Third Party services, features, products, or functionality. Grocelio does not take responsibility or liability, directly or indirectly, for the Third Party services or terms, nor are we responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any Third Party content that fails to conform to these Terms or our other policies or any damage or loss which is caused or alleged to have been caused in connection with the Third Party’s services. Some of the content on our Services is made available by publishers, users, and other Third Parties.
These Terms do not create or confer any third party beneficiary rights.
Similar to any company out there, we rely on the network services to get things done and deliver an awesome product. Although we aim to partner with companies with similar values, we cannot guarantee everything… and so we caution you to review any third party terms prior to continuing… we cannot guarantee their terms are as fun and reader friendly as ours.
The Website and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by Grocelio, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
These Terms of Service permit you to use the Website for your personal, non-commercial use only.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect you to do the same. Copyright owners may contact us to request the removal of any infringing content. In certain circumstances, we may terminate users of our Services who infringe the copyright(s), or other intellectual property rights, of others. If you believe that any material that can be accessed via our Services infringes a copyright that you own or control, please let us know by submitting a support ticket.
You may notice that parts of our Services change over time. This is all part of our pledge to deliver the best service to our users. To make that happen, we may update, change, remove, replace, stop or suspend our Services or any part of our Services at any time, without notice.
If you are unhappy with our Services, or decide that you no longer want to be bound by these Terms, you can terminate your Agreement with us by cancelling your Grocelio account by submitting a support ticket.
We can also terminate the Agreement for a number of reasons, like if we decide that you have breached these Terms or if your account has been inactive for a prolonged period of time. Any outstanding balance on your Grocelio account becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of the Agreement for any reason and any remaining credits you may have on your account will expire upon termination.
Even after this Agreement is terminated, you and Grocelio will both still be bound by sections 6, 7, 8, and 9-17 of these Terms. Additionally, we accept no liability relating to the termination of this Agreement, the termination of your account, or any content that may be deleted along with your account. If we need to contact you about these Terms, you: (i) agree to receive electronic messages from us; and (ii) agree that all terms and conditions, notices, disclosures, agreements, and other messages we send you electronically satisfy all legal requirements as if they were in writing.
We are a growing company! As we evolve, we will need the flexibility to change our Services. This may result in a disruption, but don’t worry, we will do our best to make any changes as seamlessly as possible. Also please remember that if at any time you feel that this is no longer a good fit then feel free to terminate your account with us. We would be sad to see you go and would appreciate a quick note as to why you chose to leave our by submitting a support ticket.
