3. Acceptance and versions

These terms (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the App, including the purchase of Premium. By creating an account, signing in or using the App, you confirm that you have read and accept them, together with the Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

The applicable version is the one in force on the day you use the App. Successive versions are dated and numbered; you can obtain a previous version on request.

4. Eligibility

The App is reserved for people aged 15 or over. People under 15 are not allowed to create an account. If you are between 15 and 18, you confirm that you use the App with the consent of your legal guardians, in particular for any purchase.

We may delete an account if it appears that its holder does not meet these conditions.

5. Account

An account is required (email and password, or Sign in with Apple or Google). You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information, to keep your credentials confidential and to inform us without delay of any unauthorised use. The account is personal and may not be transferred or shared. Any action performed from your account is deemed to have been performed by you, unless you prove fraudulent use not attributable to you.

6. Description of the service

The App notably allows you to:

• create a household and invite members with an invitation code or link;
• assign and track household chores;
• manage shopping lists, menus and recipes (including a recipe search through a third-party service);
• record shared expenses and calculate balances between members;
• earn points and a playful ranking;
• generate suggestions with artificial intelligence (section 10);
• share certain content (shopping list, menus, recipe) through public links.

Features may change, be added, modified or withdrawn, in particular for technical, security, legal or economic reasons. An essential Premium feature will not be withdrawn during a paid period without prior notice; in that case you may cancel your subscription.

7. Rules for specific features

7.1 Expenses and balances: a tracking tool only

The expenses feature is a calculation and record-keeping tool. The App does not collect, hold, transfer or receive any funds; it is not a payment service, a credit institution or an accounting tool. The amounts, splits and balances displayed depend exclusively on the data entered by members and are provided for information only; they do not constitute an acknowledgement of debt or accounting, tax or legal advice. Members settle their accounts directly between themselves, under their sole responsibility.

The payout methods (IBAN, PayPal.me, Revolut, payment link) you provide are shared with your flatmates so they can pay you directly; the “Pay back” buttons only open a third-party app or website or copy details, without initiating or executing any payment. Payments are made outside the App, under the members’ sole responsibility and the terms of the providers concerned (bank, PayPal, Revolut, etc.). Check the details before paying; the Publisher is not liable for any wrong, fraudulent or unreceived payment. An “I paid” declaration and its confirmation, including the automatic confirmation after 7 days without reply, are not proof of payment.

7.2 Relationships between housemates

The Publisher is not a party to the relationships between housemates, nor to the leases, deposits, debts, charges or agreements that bind them. It does not intervene in their disagreements and does not arbitrate any dispute between members.

7.3 Content shared in a household

Content posted in a household is visible to, and depending on permissions editable by, its members. When you leave a household or delete your account, the Content you posted there (tasks, expenses, lists, etc.) remains in the household so as not to distort the history and balances of the other members; your account and profile are deleted.

7.4 Share and invitation links

A share link allows anyone who holds it to view the shared content, without an account, until it expires. An invitation link allows someone to join the household. You are solely responsible for the people to whom you send these links and for the information they expose.

7.5 Points and ranking

Points and the ranking are purely for fun. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged or refunded, and may be adjusted by household administrators or by the Publisher.

8. Premium, subscriptions and AI credits

8.1 Offers

Some features are reserved for Premium, offered as a subscription (in particular weekly or monthly). The content, duration and price of the offers are presented in the App before any purchase; the price displayed by the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase, including taxes, prevails. A free trial may be offered; its conditions are shown before you subscribe.

8.2 Payment and automatic renewal

Payment is collected by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their terms; the Publisher never has access to your bank details. Subscriptions are managed through the provider RevenueCat. The subscription renews automatically for the same period, at the price then in force, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Unless cancelled before the end of a free trial, the trial converts into a paid subscription. In the event of a price increase, you will be informed in advance by the store and may cancel.

8.3 Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel at any time from the subscription settings of your Apple or Google account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, until which Premium remains available. Deleting your account in the App does not cancel the subscription taken out with the store. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies; the Publisher cannot directly refund a purchase made on a store.

8.4 Artificial intelligence credits and quotas

Artificial intelligence requests are limited by quotas: as an indication, 2 requests on the free plan, and a monthly or weekly quota for Premium, shown in the App. Quotas reset at midnight (UTC) according to the applicable period, do not roll over and have no monetary value. Bonus credits may be granted at our discretion (for example after a satisfaction survey); they may be time-limited and do not constitute an acquired right. Quotas may be adjusted to prevent abuse or to reflect providers’ costs; any substantial reduction affecting a current subscription will be notified to you and will allow you to cancel.

8.5 Right of withdrawal

Consumers normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. However, under Article L.221-28, 13° of the French Consumer Code, this right cannot be exercised for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium whose performance has begun with your prior express consent and your express waiver of this right. By requesting immediate access to Premium when purchasing, you give this consent and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal. The stores’ refund rules remain applicable.

8.6 Legal guarantee of conformity

Consumers benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services provided for in Articles L.224-25-12 et seq. of the French Consumer Code. In the event of a lack of conformity, they may obtain the bringing into conformity or, failing that, a price reduction or termination of the contract, under the conditions laid down in those articles. To use it, contact us at the address given in section 1.

9. Notifications and emails

The App may send push and local notifications (chore reminders, household activity, Live Activities) as well as service emails (welcome, getting started, security, account information). You can turn notifications off in your device or App settings. Commercial communications (offers, news) are only sent with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

10. Artificial intelligence

Some features (suggestions of chores, menus, recipes, shopping lists, analysis of a leftovers photo, recipe translation, illustrative images) rely on artificial intelligence models provided by Google (Gemini, via Vertex AI). Content generated this way is labelled as such in the App. Before each request, the App tells you which data will be sent.

You acknowledge and accept that:

• results are generated automatically, may be inaccurate, incomplete, unsuitable or outdated, and must be checked before any use;
• recipes, menus and nutritional information are not medical, dietary or nutritional advice and do not replace the advice of a health professional;
• ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES: artificial intelligence may omit or misidentify an allergen, even if you have entered your allergies. It is your responsibility to check every ingredient, the composition and the labelling of products yourself before any preparation or consumption, and to inform the people you serve a dish to;
• the analysis of a leftovers photo cannot assess the freshness, storage or food safety of an item; never eat doubtful food on the strength of a suggestion;
• the amounts, dates, currencies and line items read from a receipt may be wrong or incomplete: check them before saving the expense, which remains your sole responsibility;
• you remain solely responsible for decisions taken on the basis of suggestions.

You can report inappropriate generated content from the App. You must not use artificial intelligence to produce content that is unlawful, dangerous or infringes the rights of third parties.

11. Your content

You retain the rights to your Content. You grant the Publisher, worldwide and for the time necessary to provide the service, a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, technically adapt (formatting, machine translation, compression), display to the members of your household or to holders of a share link, and transmit to its providers, that Content, solely to operate, secure and improve the App. This licence ends when the Content is deleted, subject to section 7.3 and to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy.

You warrant that you hold the necessary rights to the Content you post (in particular photos and recipes) and that it does not infringe the rights of third parties.

12. Prohibited uses

It is notably prohibited:

• to post content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, defamatory, violent, pornographic, discriminatory or that infringes the privacy or image rights of others;
• to post personal data of third parties without right, or third parties’ identity, bank or health documents;
• to impersonate anyone or to join a household without being invited;
• to circumvent quotas, technical limitations or security measures, or to access other users’ systems or data without right;
• to extract data massively, to decompile the App (except where permitted by law), or to use bots or automated scripts;
• to use the App for unauthorised commercial purposes, spam or fraud.

13. Reporting unlawful content and moderation

Any manifestly unlawful content can be reported to nelson.apps.dev@gmail.com, in accordance with Article 6 of French Law No. 2004-575 of June 21, 2004 (LCEN) and Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act). The notice must state: your name and contact details, the precise location of the content (link, household, screenshot), the reasons why it is unlawful, and a statement of good faith. An abusive notice may engage its author’s liability.

This address is also the single point of contact for authorities and for users within the meaning of Articles 11 and 12 of the DSA (languages: French, English).

We may remove content, restrict its visibility or suspend an account in the event of a breach of the Terms or of the law. Unless an exception applies under the law, we inform the person concerned of the decision and its reasons, and they may contest it by writing to the same address.

14. Intellectual property and licence of use

The App, its code, design, trademarks, logos, texts and databases are the property of the Publisher or its licensors and are protected. The Publisher grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you control, for private purposes and in accordance with the Terms and the store rules. Any other use, reproduction or exploitation is prohibited without written authorisation.

15. Availability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. We use our best efforts to ensure access and security, without guaranteeing uninterrupted or error-free operation. Access may be suspended for maintenance, updates or security reasons. We recommend that you keep your own copies of important information.

The Publisher may stop operating the App; it will then inform you at least 30 days in advance, unless impossible, and current subscriptions will not be renewed.

16. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Publisher is not liable for:

• indirect damage (loss of opportunity, data, income, reputational harm);
• conflicts, debts, unpaid sums or disputes between housemates, nor the consequences of amounts or balances calculated from the data entered;
• decisions taken on the basis of suggestions generated by artificial intelligence, in particular regarding food, allergies or health;
• Content posted by Users;
• third-party services (stores, Google, OneSignal, RevenueCat, Crisp, TheMealDB…) and their interruptions;
• use not in accordance with the Terms or a security failure of your device or credentials.

Nothing in the Terms excludes or limits the Publisher’s liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, for bodily injury, or the rights Consumers derive from mandatory provisions (in particular the legal guarantee of conformity). For non-Consumer Users, the Publisher’s total liability is limited to the amounts paid by the User for the App during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

17. Your indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you indemnify the Publisher against any claim, action or judgment by third parties resulting from your Content or from use of the App contrary to the Terms or to the law, and reimburse the reasonable costs arising from it.

18. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure caused by force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, including a major failure of a host, a store or a telecommunications network.

19. Suspension, termination and account deletion

You can delete your account at any time from the App (My Profile → Danger zone → Delete my account) or through the dedicated web page; remember to also cancel your subscription with the store (section 8.3).

In the event of a serious or repeated breach of the Terms, fraud, a security risk or an order from an authority, the Publisher may suspend or delete an account, if possible after formal notice, and immediately in an emergency. The decision is reasoned (section 13). Deletion for a breach does not give rise to a refund, subject to the Consumer’s mandatory rights.

20. Changes to the Terms

We may change the Terms to reflect changes to the App, the law or case law. Any substantial change is notified to you in the App or by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless the change is required by law or necessary for security. If you refuse the new version, you may delete your account and cancel your subscription before that date; otherwise, continued use constitutes acceptance.

21. Store-specific terms

Apple (iOS). If you downloaded the App from the App Store:

• the Terms are concluded between you and the Publisher, not with Apple Inc.; the Publisher, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content;
• the licence is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules of the App Store Terms of Service;
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App;
• in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation;
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App (product liability, failure to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection or privacy), nor third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, whose investigation, defence and settlement are the sole responsibility of the Publisher;
• you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• you must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App;
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

Google Play (Android). The Google Play Terms of Service apply in addition; Google is not a party to the Terms and is not responsible for the App.

22. General provisions

• Severability: if a clause is held void or unenforceable, the other clauses remain in force.
• No waiver: failure to rely on a breach does not constitute a waiver of the right to rely on it later.
• Assignment: the Publisher may assign the Terms to a third party taking over the operation of the App (for example a company it may set up), without reducing your rights, after informing you; you may then delete your account.
• Entire agreement: the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the pre-contractual information displayed at purchase constitute the entire agreement between you and the Publisher.
• Language: translations are provided for information only; only the French version is legally binding.
• Evidence: computer records kept by the Publisher and its providers are proof of exchanges and transactions, unless proven otherwise.

23. Complaints, mediation and governing law

For any complaint, first write to nelson.apps.dev@gmail.com; we aim to reply within 30 days.

In accordance with Articles L.612-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, if the written complaint has not been resolved within two months, or if the reply is unsatisfactory, Consumers may refer the matter free of charge to the consumer mediator CM2C, 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France, www.cm2c.net/declarer-un-litige.php, within one year of their written complaint. Mediation is optional.

The Terms are governed by French law. If you are a Consumer residing in another country, you retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence (Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 “Rome I”). Failing an amicable settlement, the dispute is brought before the competent courts under the ordinary rules; Consumers may in particular bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence. For non-Consumer Users, exclusive jurisdiction is conferred on the courts within the jurisdiction of the Versailles Court of Appeal.
