Terms of Service

By accessing or using CosmeShelf, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. You must be at least 13 years old to use CosmeShelf.

CosmeShelf is a beauty product tracking tool that lets you scan product barcodes, look up product information, decode batch codes, track expiry and period-after-opening (PAO) dates, organize products into shelves and routines, set reminders, and plan your beauty spending. Product information is sourced from public databases (such as Open Beauty Facts) and from details you enter.

• You must provide a valid email address and keep your login credentials confidential.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
• You may not share your account, scrape the Service, attempt to bypass plan limits, or use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• You may delete your account at any time from the Settings page.

CosmeShelf offers a free tier and a paid PRO subscription. The free tier includes core tracking features with usage limits (for example, 10 scans per month). PRO unlocks additional features such as unlimited scanning, expiry alerts, the Beauty Budget Planner, routine tools, shelf scores, and data export. We may adjust features and limits over time; material changes to paid features will be communicated in advance.

PRO is available at $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year (in USD unless otherwise shown at checkout). New subscribers may receive a 7-day free trial; unless you cancel before the trial ends, your chosen plan renews automatically at the then-current price. Payments are processed by Stripe, and your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's terms. You authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Settings page or through the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you keep PRO access until then, and no partial-period refunds are provided except where required by law. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at hello@cosmeshelf.ca and we will review it.

The Service, including its design, branding, text, and software, is owned by CosmeShelf and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service except as permitted by law. Product data from public sources (such as Open Beauty Facts) remains subject to those sources' own licenses.

You retain ownership of the content you add to the Service — your shelf entries, notes, ratings, photos, and routines. You grant us a limited license to store and process that content solely to provide the Service to you. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter.

CosmeShelf is an organizational and informational tool only. It is not medical, dermatological, or health advice. Product information, ingredient data, batch-code interpretations, and expiry estimates may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate — always check the product's own packaging and consult a qualified professional for skin or health concerns. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CosmeShelf and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or, if you paid nothing, CAD $50).

These Terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the province in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless applicable consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
