Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the Evolve Bundles Shopify application ("App", "Service", or "Platform"), you ("Merchant", "User", or "you") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are acting on behalf of a business, merchant entity, or corporate organization, you represent that you possess the requisite authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not install or must immediately uninstall the Application from your Shopify store.

2. Description of Services

Evolve Bundles provides AI-assisted bundle discovery, evaluation, storefront display, and automatic checkout discount mechanisms designed specifically for Shopify merchants.

• Autopilot & Manual Curation: The App reads store catalog metadata, identifies product affinities, applies quality validation (scoring), and creates proposed bundle packages.
• Theme App Extension: Bundles are rendered on your live product pages via a native Shopify theme app embed block.
• Checkout Discount Functions: Discounts are applied natively via Shopify Discount Functions without duplicate inventory or SKU clashing.

3. Store Permissions & Data Access

Upon installation, you authorize Evolve Bundles to access specific Shopify Admin API scopes necessary for operation:

• read_products & write_products: To inspect catalog structures and publish bundle metadata to product metafields.
• write_discounts: To configure automatic bundle checkout discounts on your behalf.
• read_orders: To calculate aggregate bundle sales and conversions (without harvesting customer PII).
• read_inventory: To show stock levels on bundles and keep sold-out products out of bundles.
• read_themes: To detect whether the Evolve Bundles app embed is turned on in your theme.

4. Plans, 30-Day Pro Trial & Billing

• Free Plan: $0, with no time limit. You create bundles yourself, with AI-assisted generation of up to 233 bundles per calendar month and 23 per day (UTC), and publish them with storefront widgets and checkout discounts. Automation features (Auto-Pilot) are not included.
• Pro Auto-Pilot Plan: Billed at $32.80/month (or $267/year, saving 32%) after a 30-day free trial. Includes unlimited automatically created bundles, continuous re-evaluation cycles, automated publishing and pruning, and cycle-by-cycle audit governance.
• Trial Expiration: When your 30-day Pro trial concludes, charges will begin only if you explicitly confirmed the subscription in your Shopify admin. If you cancel, your store returns to the Free plan and bundles that are already live stay live.

5. Cancellation, Refunds & Uninstallation

You retain complete freedom to cancel your subscription or uninstall Evolve Bundles at any moment:

• Self-Serve Cancellation: You may downgrade or cancel your subscription at any time from the in-app Pricing tab or from your Shopify Admin Apps settings.
• No Lock-In: There are no long-term contracts, termination fees, or cancellation penalties.
• Immediate Effect: Upon uninstallation, all recurring billing requests stop immediately, and any scheduled charges are prorated or handled directly per Shopify's standard App Store billing policy.

6. Merchant Obligations & Acceptable Use

As a merchant utilizing our Platform, you agree to:

• Maintain compliance with the Shopify Acceptable Use Policy and App Store Merchant Guidelines.
• Ensure your store goods and products do not violate consumer protection laws, intellectual property rights, or advertising regulations.
• Accurately display product prices, bundle discounts, and refund terms to your shoppers.

7. Intellectual Property & AI Suggestions

You retain all rights, title, and ownership in and to your store catalogues, product photography, trademarks, and branding.

Evolve Bundles grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to utilize the Application and storefront widgets during your subscription term. Bundle combinations and algorithmic pairing suggestions generated by the App are provided for your operational use; merchants retain full editorial discretion to publish, edit, or reject any generated bundle.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While our AI curation algorithms aim to optimize average order value (AOV), we do not guarantee specific sales increases or conversion minimums, as performance depends on external merchant variables (traffic, pricing, inventory quality).

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Evolve Bundles and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use or inability to use the Service.

9. Termination & Severability

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate app access if a merchant violates these Terms, attempts reverse-engineering, or engages in fraudulent activity. If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
