The terms for using Tally

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name] ("we", "us"), the company that makes Tally. They cover the Tally app for iPhone and this website. By creating an account or using Tally, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Tally.

Our privacy policy explains what we collect and how we use it, and is part of these terms.

2. Who can use Tally

• You must be an adult, meaning the age of majority in the province or territory where you live, to create an account.
• Tally is built for shoppers in Canada. Its stores and prices are Canadian.
• You're responsible for what happens in your account, including anything done by people you let use it. Keep access to your email and your Apple ID secure, and tell us if you think someone has used your account without your permission.

3. Your subscription

• Free to start. New members get one month of Tally free, through Apple's free trial. Apple gives each Apple ID one free trial, so switching plans doesn't start another one. If you buy a plan during your free trial, the rest of the trial ends.
• Then a subscription. After the free trial, Tally costs CA$2.99 a month or CA$24.99 a year. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Any taxes are calculated and collected by Apple.
• Billing is through Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase or, if you start with the free trial, when the trial ends.
• It renews automatically. Your subscription renews for the same length and price unless you turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple charges for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• Cancelling. Cancel any time in the Settings app on your iPhone: tap your name, then Subscriptions. If you cancel during the free trial, you won't be charged. If you cancel later, Tally keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel your subscription. Cancel it in your Apple settings as well.
• Refunds. Apple takes the payments, so Apple handles refund requests, under its own policies, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can't issue refunds ourselves.
• Price changes. If the price changes, we'll tell you before it applies to you, and Apple will ask for your agreement where its rules require it. A new price starts at your next renewal, never partway through a period you've already paid for.
• Family Sharing. A subscription can be shared with the members of your Apple Family Sharing group.
• Fair-use limits. Receipt scanning has fair-use limits, shown in the app, so Tally stays affordable to run for everyone.

4. Prices and information in Tally

Tally helps you compare. It doesn't set prices, and it can't promise that every price is right.

• Prices in Tally come from receipts people scan and from other sources. Stores change prices often, prices differ from store to store, and sales end. A price in Tally may be out of date or wrong. The price at the store, on the shelf or at the till, is the one that counts.
• Tally reads receipts automatically and can misread them. Check what Tally read before you save a receipt.
• Product details, such as names, sizes, categories, barcodes and whether a product is Canadian, come from many sources and can be incomplete or wrong. If a detail matters to you, like an allergy or where something was made, check the package.
• Tally shows totals and comparisons to help you understand your spending. It isn't financial advice.
• Tally isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any store or brand that appears in it. Store and brand names belong to their owners.

5. Your receipts and contributions

"Your content" means your receipt photos, what Tally reads from them, purchases you enter by hand, the corrections and matches you make, and products you add.

• You own your content. We don't claim ownership of it.
• You let us use it to run Tally. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and display your content so we can provide Tally to you, match receipt lines to products, and keep the service working.
• Shared prices and the shared catalogue. You also let us combine prices from your receipts with other people's into typical prices that other users see, and add products you create and matches you confirm to the shared catalogue. None of this is shown with your name. Products you add stay in the catalogue after you delete your account, no longer linked to you, as the privacy policy explains.
• Keep it real. Only scan receipts that are yours or that you have permission to use. Don't submit fake receipts, made-up prices or products, or anything you know is false.
• Ideas and feedback. If you send us suggestions, we can use them without owing you anything.

We may remove content or contributions that break these terms.

6. Fair use

Please don't:

• copy, scrape or download Tally's catalogue or prices in bulk, by program or by hand, or use them to build another product or database;
• reverse engineer or decompile Tally, or try to get its source code, except where the law allows it;
• get around scan limits, the subscription or security features, or try to reach other people's accounts or data;
• submit false information to change prices, products or matches;
• resell, rent or sublicense Tally or its data, or use Tally for business purposes without our written permission;
• use Tally in a way that harms the service or other people, or for anything illegal.

7. Tally's app and brand

• Tally, including the app, its design and software, the Tally name and logo, and the catalogue as a whole, belongs to [Company legal name] or the people we license it from, and is protected by law.
• We give you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use Tally on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. Anything not expressly given to you here stays with us.
• Tally includes open-source software, credited in section 13 of the privacy policy. That software's own licence applies to it.

8. Other companies' services

Tally relies on other companies to work, such as Apple for sign-in and payments. Their own terms apply when you use their services. Links to other websites are there for convenience; we don't control those sites and aren't responsible for them.

9. Changes to Tally

Tally is still growing, and we'll add, change and sometimes remove features. If we remove something that's a main part of what your subscription pays for, we'll tell you in advance. If we ever shut Tally down, we'll tell you in the app beforehand.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change affects your rights or what you pay, we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, show you what's changing, and explain how to say no: you can stop using Tally and cancel your subscription before the change applies, at no cost. Small changes, like fixing a typo or making a sentence clearer, take effect when we post them. Either way, we'll update the date at the top.

11. Ending your account

• You can stop using Tally any time, and delete your account in Settings → Delete account. That deletes your information as the privacy policy describes. Remember to cancel your subscription in your Apple settings too.
• We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, for example by submitting fake receipts or scraping the catalogue. Where it's reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to put things right.
• The parts of these terms that are meant to last, such as sections 5, 12, 13 and 15, still apply after your account ends.

12. What we can't promise

We work hard to keep Tally accurate and running, but we can't promise that it will always be available or free of errors, or that every price and product detail in it is right. To the extent the law allows, Tally is provided "as is" and "as available", without promises beyond the ones the consumer laws where you live give you and that can't be excluded.

13. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows:

• we aren't responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including money you could have saved, or spent, because of a price shown in Tally;
• our total liability to you for all claims about Tally is limited to what you paid for Tally in the 12 months before the claim, or CA$[50], whichever is more.

These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, including for harm caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and they don't apply to consumers in Quebec to the extent Quebec's Consumer Protection Act forbids them.

14. Apple

These terms are between you and [Company legal name], not Apple. Because you get Tally from Apple's App Store:

• Apple isn't responsible for Tally or its content. We are.
• Your licence to use Tally is the one in section 7: limited to Apple devices you own or control, and to the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for maintaining and supporting Tally. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it.
• If Tally fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for Tally, if any. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Tally. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses from a failure to meet a warranty are our responsibility, as these terms set out.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claims from you or anyone else about Tally or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that Tally fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If anyone claims that Tally, or your having or using it, infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and resolving that claim.
• You confirm that you aren't located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you aren't on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• When you use Tally, you must follow the terms of any other service you use with it, such as your mobile data plan.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right, and is treated as having accepted the right, to enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Questions, complaints or claims about Tally come to us, using the details in section 17.

15. Governing law and disputes

• These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of [Ontario] and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
• If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the consumer laws of the province or territory where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there.
• If something goes wrong, please contact us first. Most problems can be sorted out quickly, and we'll try to resolve yours within 30 days.

16. General

• These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Tally.
• If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don't enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
• We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over Tally, for example if Tally is sold. We'll tell you if that happens, and your rights under these terms continue. You can't transfer your account or these terms to someone else without our permission.
• We'll contact you electronically, in the app or by email, and these messages count as written notice.
