Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of another person, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf.

2. The Service

Ripn reads photographs of your grocery receipts and returns the items you bought, what each one cost, and an estimate of how long it will keep. It then reports what you spent, what you used, and what you threw away. Item recognition, categorisation, and expiry estimates are produced automatically and are provided on an informational basis only.

3. Free Use, Subscriptions, and Payment

• The App is free to use for a limited number of receipt scans per month. The current limit and when it refreshes are shown in the App, and both may change at our discretion.
• Everything you have already scanned remains accessible whether or not you subscribe, including past months and every figure calculated from them.
• An optional subscription removes the scan limit. Subscriptions are offered on a monthly or annual basis at the prices displayed in the App at the time of purchase.
• A Household subscription allows up to five people to share one set of grocery data. Each member's receipts, items, spending, and receipt photographs are visible to every other member. See section 4 and our Privacy Policy for what that means. The Household subscription is held by one person, the household's owner, and covers the other members while it is active. If it lapses, members return to the free tier until it is renewed.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with its policies.
• We may change subscription prices from time to time. Price changes will not affect the period you have already paid for and will be communicated as required by applicable law and Apple's policies.

4. Households

A household is a group of up to five accounts that share one set of grocery data. The person who creates it is its owner. The owner can invite people by sharing a link, and can remove members at any time. Members can leave at any time.

By joining a household you agree that the other members can see everything you scan into it, including receipt photographs, and that the receipts you scanned while a member remain with the household if you leave or are removed. Any receipts already in your account when you join move into the household. You are responsible for deciding who you share a household with, and for anything you scan into one.

You may not join a household you have not been invited to, share an invite link with people the owner did not intend to invite, or use the household feature to gain access to another person's data without their knowledge.

5. Your Account

You may use parts of the App without an account. An account is required to save receipts, to subscribe, and to join a household. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. Notify us promptly at team@ripn.app of any unauthorized use of your account.

When you create an account, we may send you emails about the App, including onboarding messages, product updates, and occasional offers. Every such email includes a link to unsubscribe, and unsubscribing does not affect your account or your use of the App. See our Privacy Policy for details.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Attempt to access, tamper with, reverse engineer, decompile, or disrupt the App or its underlying systems;
• Use automated means to access the App or extract data from it without our permission;
• Upload photographs or other content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful, or that you do not have the right to submit; or
• Interfere with any other user's use of the App.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.

7. Accuracy of Scanning, Prices, and Estimates

Item names, prices, categories, and expiry dates are read and estimated automatically and may be inaccurate or incomplete. Spending and waste figures are calculated from that data, so they are estimates rather than a financial record. Do not rely on them for accounting, tax, or budgeting purposes without checking them yourself. You can correct item names, prices, dates, and stores in the App, and you can look at the original receipt photograph to check them.

Expiry estimates are approximations and are not a guarantee of food safety. You are solely responsible for judging whether any food is safe to eat, including with respect to allergies, dietary restrictions, and food handling. Do not rely on the App as a substitute for your own judgment or for professional, medical, or nutritional advice.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by MN8 or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You retain ownership of the content you add to the App, including your receipts and the data read from them, and you grant us a license to use that content solely to operate and provide the App to you and, where applicable, to the other members of your household.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any results, prices, estimates, or suggestions will be accurate or reliable. To the extent any warranty cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the minimum permitted by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MN8 and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MN8 and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to applicable law, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved in the courts located in Quebec, Canada, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights available to you under the laws of your place of residence.

14. Apple App Store Terms

These Terms are between you and MN8 only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
