Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing or using RefundSaviour ("the Service", "we", "us"), you ("Merchant", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Service.

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including merchants who install the app on their Shopify store.

2. Description of Service

RefundSaviour is a Shopify application that intercepts customer refund requests on your storefront and uses AI-powered technology to offer alternative resolutions such as store credit, product exchanges, or discount codes, with the goal of reducing refund rates and retaining revenue.

The Service includes:

  • A Shopify theme extension widget displayed to customers
  • AI negotiation powered by OpenAI's API
  • A merchant dashboard with analytics and configuration
  • Subscription billing managed via Paddle

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must have a valid Shopify store and install the app via Shopify's App Store or direct installation link. By installing the app, you authorise RefundSaviour to access your Shopify store data as specified in the app's requested scopes.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

The Service is offered under three plans: Free, Starter ($29/month), and Pro ($79/month). Plan features and limits are as described on our pricing page and subject to change with 30 days' notice.

  • Free Plan: Limited to 10 interceptions per calendar month at no charge.
  • Paid Plans: Billed monthly in advance via Paddle. Payment is due on the subscription renewal date.
  • Overages: Once your monthly interception limit is reached, the widget will silently deactivate until the next billing cycle. No additional charges apply.
  • Upgrades/Downgrades: Plan changes take effect immediately (upgrades) or at the next renewal date (downgrades).

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Deceive or mislead customers about their rights to a refund under applicable consumer protection laws
  • Override legally mandated refund obligations
  • Circumvent Shopify's Platform Terms of Service
  • Collect customer data beyond what is necessary for the Service
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or resell the Service

You remain solely responsible for complying with consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction, including laws that may require you to honour refund requests regardless of the widget's outcome.

6. Customer Refund Rights

Important: RefundSaviour is a tool to offer alternatives to refunds — it does not override your legal obligations. You must continue to honour refund requests where required by law (e.g., EU consumer rights, Australian Consumer Law, UK Consumer Rights Act). The Service is designed to offer alternatives first, not to block legally entitled refunds.

7. Intellectual Property

RefundSaviour and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by RefundSaviour and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of your store data.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee a specific reduction in refund rates or revenue savings, as results depend on your store, product category, and customer behaviour.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RefundSaviour's liability for any claim arising from use of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the claim.

9. Termination

You may cancel your subscription and uninstall the app at any time. Upon uninstallation, we will cease processing your store's data. Cancellation of a paid plan takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro-rata refunds are issued for unused time.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes via email and an in-app notification. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in courts of competent jurisdiction.
