Publication note: before publishing, replace [Legal Company Name], [Registered Address], [Governing Law / Jurisdiction], [Courts / Venue], and [Subscription Provider] with your real details.
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and [Legal Company Name] (“Pikly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of the Pikly website, mobile applications, subscriptions, early-access programs, and related services.
By accessing or using Pikly, creating a subscription, joining an early-access program, downloading the app, or using any feature that links to these Terms, you agree to these Terms. If you use Pikly for a business or organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business or organization.
2. The Pikly service
Pikly helps users manage inventory with item creation, editing, deletion, search, barcode scanning, receiving, dispatching, transfers, categories, locations, bins, basic alerts, and CSV export.
Pikly may be offered through free features, paid subscriptions, free trials, early-access versions, beta features, and future optional features. Some features may require a paid plan, device permissions, app-store purchase validation, or compatible hardware and software.
3. Local-first data model
Important: Pikly is designed to store inventory data locally on your device by default. This protects privacy, but it also means you are responsible for backups, exports, and device security.
- Inventory data may be lost if you uninstall the app, lose your device, reset your device, delete app data, damage your device, or fail to back up exported files.
- Pikly may not be able to recover inventory data that exists only on your device.
- CSV exports, screenshots, shared files, or files sent to other apps are your responsibility once exported or shared.
- If Pikly later offers optional cloud sync, account backup, collaboration, or integrations, those features may be governed by additional terms or updated privacy disclosures.
4. Eligibility and age requirements
You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use Pikly. Pikly is intended for business and productivity use and is not directed to children. You may not use Pikly if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.
5. Trials, subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
Plans and pricing
Pikly may offer free features, paid subscriptions, lifetime access offers, free trials, promotional pricing, or early-access pricing. Prices, features, limits, and availability may vary by country, platform, app store, and promotional offer.
Subscription processing
Subscriptions and payments may be processed by Apple App Store, Google Play, Stripe, RevenueCat, or another provider, depending on where you subscribe. Those providers may handle billing, renewal notices, taxes, fraud prevention, payment credentials, invoices, cancellations, and refunds according to their own terms and policies.
Auto-renewal
Paid subscriptions may automatically renew unless you cancel before the renewal date. By starting a subscription, you authorize the applicable app store or payment provider to charge the recurring subscription fee, plus applicable taxes, until you cancel.
Free trials
If a free trial converts to a paid subscription, the app store or payment provider will disclose the trial length, renewal price, renewal date, and cancellation method before you are charged, as required by applicable law and platform rules.
Cancellation
You must cancel through the same channel where you purchased the subscription, such as your Apple App Store account, Google Play account, Pikly account settings if offered, or payment provider portal. Deleting the app, deleting local app data, or stopping use of Pikly does not automatically cancel a subscription. After cancellation, you may continue to access paid features until the end of the current billing period unless otherwise stated.
Refunds
Except where required by law or stated in a separate refund policy, payments are non-refundable. App-store purchases and refunds are handled by the relevant app store according to its policies.
Taxes
Prices may exclude taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, and similar charges, except taxes based on our income.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse Pikly. You must not:
- use Pikly for unlawful, harmful, deceptive, infringing, or abusive activities;
- upload, enter, export, or share content that violates law, third-party rights, confidentiality obligations, privacy rights, or intellectual property rights;
- attempt to access systems, subscriptions, paid features, APIs, or infrastructure without authorization;
- interfere with, disrupt, overload, scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, or bypass security or usage limits, except where such restrictions cannot legally be prohibited;
- introduce malware, vulnerabilities, or harmful code;
- misrepresent your identity, affiliation, inventory data, subscription status, or authorization; or
- use Pikly for safety-critical, life-critical, emergency, medical, aviation, nuclear, weapons, or highly regulated inventory operations without independent controls and professional review.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to online features or paid access validation if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk, abused the service, or caused legal or security exposure.
7. Your inventory data and content
“Customer Content” means data, text, photos, barcodes, SKU values, files, item records, quantities, categories, locations, bins, alerts, exports, and other materials created, entered, imported, exported, shared, or stored through Pikly.
You retain ownership of Customer Content. Because Pikly is local-first, Customer Content is generally stored on your device by default, unless you export it, share it, send it to support, use a third-party service, or enable a future cloud feature.
You are responsible for the accuracy, legality, security, retention, backup, and export of your Customer Content. Pikly is not a substitute for your own legal, accounting, tax, audit, inventory, procurement, customs, safety, or compliance records.
If you send Customer Content to Pikly for support or feedback, you grant Pikly a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to process that content only as needed to respond, troubleshoot, secure the service, comply with law, and enforce these Terms.
8. Pikly ownership, feedback, and intellectual property
Pikly and its software, design, trademarks, logos, website, apps, features, visual interfaces, documentation, and other materials are owned by Pikly or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws.
These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Pikly grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use Pikly for your internal personal or business inventory management purposes.
If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, or requests, you allow Pikly to use them without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you as the source without your permission.
9. Third-party services, app stores, and integrations
Pikly may interact with third-party services such as Apple App Store, Google Play, payment processors, subscription providers, hosting providers, operating-system services, barcode scanners, email providers, or optional future integrations. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
Apple App Store
If you download Pikly from the Apple App Store or make an in-app purchase through Apple, Apple may process purchases, refunds, subscriptions, taxes, and account information according to Apple’s terms and privacy policies. Apple is not responsible for Pikly or its content, maintenance, support, warranties, claims, or intellectual property matters, except as required by applicable app-store rules. Apple and its subsidiaries may be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for iOS app use where required by Apple’s terms.
Google Play
If you download Pikly from Google Play or make an in-app purchase through Google Play, Google may process purchases, refunds, subscriptions, taxes, and account information according to Google Play terms and privacy policies. Purchases, renewals, cancellations, and refunds made through Google Play may be managed through your Google Play account.
10. Early access, beta features, and product changes
Pikly may offer early-access, beta, experimental, or preview features. These features may be incomplete, unavailable, inaccurate, interrupted, changed, or discontinued at any time. We may add, remove, modify, limit, or discontinue features, plans, pricing, and availability, subject to applicable law and any paid subscription commitments.
Website screenshots, product descriptions, app-store descriptions, and marketing materials may be illustrative and may not reflect every current or future feature.
11. Privacy and data protection
Our Privacy Policy explains how Pikly handles personal information. By using Pikly, you acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
If you enter personal information about employees, customers, suppliers, contractors, or other individuals into Pikly, you are responsible for having the right to do so and for complying with applicable privacy, employment, consumer, and data protection laws.
12. Service availability and support
We aim to provide a useful and reliable app, but Pikly may be interrupted, delayed, unavailable, inaccurate, or changed due to maintenance, updates, device issues, operating-system changes, app-store issues, third-party services, security events, or factors outside our control. Unless we provide a separate written service-level agreement, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
Support channels, response times, and support availability may vary by plan, region, platform, and issue type.
13. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pikly is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, data recovery, and security.
Pikly does not guarantee that inventory counts, scans, alerts, reports, exports, calculations, or records will always be accurate, complete, current, recoverable, or suitable for your specific business, legal, tax, accounting, compliance, safety, or operational requirements. You must independently verify important information.
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pikly and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost goodwill, lost data, lost inventory records, business interruption, inventory loss, procurement loss, device loss, subscription platform errors, or substitute services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pikly’s total liability for any claim relating to the service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to Pikly for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) USD $100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws.
15. Indemnification
If you use Pikly on behalf of a business or organization, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pikly and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from: your use of Pikly; Customer Content; exported files; your violation of these Terms; your violation of law or third-party rights; or your business operations.
16. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Pikly at any time. If you have a paid subscription, you must cancel it through the applicable app store or payment provider to stop future charges.
We may suspend or terminate access to online features, subscription validation, support, or future services if you violate these Terms, create legal or security risk, fail to pay applicable fees, or misuse Pikly. Local app data stored on your device may remain on your device unless you delete it, but paid features may stop working if your subscription ends or cannot be validated.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing Law / Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to mandatory consumer protection laws, courts located in [Courts / Venue] will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to these Terms or Pikly.
If you are a consumer, you may have mandatory rights under the laws of your country or region that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms limits those mandatory rights.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as by posting a notice in the app or on the website, sending an email if we have your email address, or updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of Pikly after the effective date means the updated Terms apply, except where additional consent is required by law.
