TallyScout — Terms of Service

Last updated: 15 June 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you") and Tallyscout ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Tallyscout app (the "Service") you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

Tallyscout is an iOS application that lets you scan product barcodes, record prices across stores, maintain shopping lists, and view per-product price history. The Service is provided on an iOS-first basis and may evolve over time.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you confirm a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms on your behalf. We may refuse or terminate accounts that do not meet this requirement.

3. Your Account

• You are responsible for your login credentials and all activity on your account.
• You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
• One account per person. Account sharing is strictly prohibited. You may not share, lend, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, transfer, or otherwise make your account or login credentials available to any other person, whether for payment or free of charge. Each individual who uses the Service must register their own account.
• Your account is personal to you. Allowing another person to sign in as you, use your subscription, or access features unlocked on your account is a material breach of these Terms.
• We may detect account sharing through signals such as concurrent sessions, device fingerprints, IP-address patterns, and usage anomalies. Where we reasonably believe an account is being shared we may, without prior notice, require re-verification, restrict features, suspend the account, terminate the account, and/or refuse refunds for the affected billing period.
• Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any third-party rights;
• reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract our database or infrastructure beyond your own data;
• upload content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or contains malware;
• interfere with the Service, abuse our APIs, or evade rate limits or bot protection (see §9);
• impersonate another person or misrepresent affiliation.

We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of this section.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Tallyscout offers a free tier and one or more paid subscriptions sold through the Apple App Store. Auto-renewal, cancellation, refunds, free trial, price changes, and Family Sharing are governed by our separate Purchase Terms, available at [tallyscout.app/purchase-terms](https://tallyscout.app/purchase-terms), which form part of these Terms by reference.

In short: subscriptions auto-renew at the same price each period until you cancel, cancellation is managed through your Apple Account, and refunds are handled by Apple. Your statutory rights as a consumer under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are unaffected.

6. Your Content

You retain ownership of the data you create in the Service (shopping lists, trip history, product photos, etc.) ("Your Content"). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, and display Your Content to operate and improve the Service for you.

We may also produce aggregated and anonymised datasets derived from Your Content and other users' content (for example, average prices of products by region or category). Aggregated and anonymised data cannot be linked back to you and is no longer your personal data. We may use, publish, or commercialise such datasets, including selling or licensing them to third parties. We will not sell data that personally identifies you without your separate, explicit consent.

You are responsible for the legality of Your Content and that you have the rights to upload it (including any product photos).

7. Third-Party Data and Services

Product information (names, brands, nutrition data, images) is sourced from third parties, including Open Food Facts and Open Library, and may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. We make no warranty as to product, pricing, or nutritional accuracy. You must verify critical information (allergens, ingredients, prices) at the point of purchase. A list of data sources and their licences is available in the app under Settings → About → Acknowledgements.

The Service relies on third-party processors (including Apple, RevenueCat, Supabase, Cloudflare, Sentry, and PostHog). Their handling of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Intellectual Property

The Tallyscout app, its name, branding, code, and design are owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except as expressly granted in these Terms, no licence is given to copy, modify, or redistribute the Service.

9. Bot Protection

We use Cloudflare Turnstile (including invisible challenges) and similar mechanisms to detect automated abuse. By using the Service you consent to the collection of device and request signals required for these checks. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

10. Termination and Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from in-app settings or by emailing [email protected]. On deletion:

• your profile and identifying information are removed;
• product, price, and aggregate usage data may be anonymised and retained for product analytics, abuse prevention, improving the Service, and the aggregated datasets described in §6; once anonymised, this data can no longer be linked back to you;
• backups containing your data are overwritten on our normal backup cycle.

We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these Terms or where required by law.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data (especially prices, nutrition, or product information) is accurate or current. Offline features depend on your device's storage and connectivity.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer under English law.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill;
• our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in that period, or (b) £50.

Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except that consumers resident elsewhere in the UK may bring proceedings in their local courts.
