Terms of Service — Homeshelf (집선반)
Effective: [PUBLISH DATE]
These terms set out the conditions for using Homeshelf ("the app"). How we handle personal information is covered by the separate Privacy Policy.
1. What the app is
- The app saves to your device first. What you enter is kept on this phone only, by default.
- Cloud sync and family sharing are optional and need either the trial (3.2) or a subscription (section 4).
- The dates the app shows — especially default dates marked "roughly" — are estimates based on how long things usually keep. Please check the product label and how it has been stored before deciding whether something is still good. The provider is not responsible for what follows from relying on the app's dates. [TO CONFIRM: food-safety disclaimer wording — legal review]
- The items and quantities returned by receipt photo reading (AI) are also estimates. Please check them on screen before adding. The provider is not responsible for what follows from adding a misread result as-is. This feature requires signing in and has a daily limit, and the photo is sent to an AI service abroad to read items and quantities (Privacy Policy, section 4.1).
2. Accounts and family
- Cloud sync and family sharing need a Google sign-in and are available only to people 14 or older. Everything else works without signing in.
- One account can belong to only one family list, and a family list is shared by up to 6 people.
- Each family list has one owner. The owner can invite and remove members and hand the owner role over. Any member can create an invite link or code (8 characters · one use within 7 days · the sender can cancel it).
- Members of the same family list can see everything in it (including who changed what). Please don't write anything you don't want your family to see.
- If you leave a family list, a copy of the list as it stands stays on your phone, and the records you put into the family list remain there. Of the photos, only those on this phone remain (Privacy Policy, sections 3 and 4).
- You can delete your account in the app at any time (Settings › Cloud account › Manage account › Delete account). The steps are on the account and data deletion page (
/delete/). Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription (4.4).
3. Plans
| Plan | What you get | Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Every on-device feature — items, spaces, dates, reminders, backups — with no limit on how many items, with advertising | None |
| Ad removal | Ads removed for good (for this Google account) | One-off purchase · ₩4,900 (planned) |
| Cloud sync | Sync between devices + family sharing + no ads for everyone in the family list (while paid) + 10MB of photo space + 20 receipt AI readings a day | Monthly ₩2,900 or yearly ₩24,000 per family list (planned) |
| Extra photo space | Increases the family list's photo space (used together with cloud sync) | Recurring, per family list · size and price [OWNER DECISION: size tiers and prices — M2] |
3.0 Photos are stored on this phone regardless of what you pay
- On any plan, taking photos, viewing them and showing where things are keep working on this phone. What you pay for is delivering photos to family and your other devices (cloud sync) and the space to keep them.
- When photo space is full, or when a payment ends, the app keeps working normally — new photos simply stop being uploaded.
3.1 Prices
- Prices follow what Google Play shows and may differ by country and currency.
- The provider may change prices and what plans include. Changes apply from the next renewal and are announced in advance in the app or on the Play Store. If you don't agree, you can cancel before renewal.
3.2 Cloud trial
- The first time you turn on cloud sync you can use cloud sync and family sharing free for 14 days, once per account.
- We take no payment details, and nothing is charged when the trial ends. When it ends, only uploading stops (as in 4.5), and this phone and the family list let you know.
- The trial goes to the owner of a family list (or to someone who doesn't have a family list yet). Members who join do not get a separate trial.
- If you subscribe during the trial, billing starts on the day you subscribe.
4. Subscription (cloud sync)
4.1 Automatic renewal
- A subscription renews automatically at the end of its period and is billed to the subscriber's Google Play account.
- You can cancel in Play Store › Subscriptions up to 24 hours before renewal.
4.2 Cancelling
- Cancel on Google Play. "Manage subscription on Play" in the app opens that screen.
- Even after cancelling, everyone in the family can keep using it until the period you already paid for ends.
4.2.1 If you cancel extra photo space
- Photos already uploaded are not deleted. Only new uploads stop, from the moment they would exceed the basic space (10MB).
- After they stop, photos are still kept on this phone and the app works normally (3.0).
- If cloud sync itself ends, destruction of the server records follows section 8 of the Privacy Policy (6 months after expiry).
4.3 Refunds
- Refunds follow Google Play's policy; the provider offers no separate refund channel outside Play.
- If a payment goes through but server verification fails and access doesn't open, unconfirmed payments are refunded automatically under Google Play's policy.
4.4 Deleting your account or leaving a family is separate from the subscription
- Deleting your account or leaving a family list does not cancel your Google Play subscription. To stop being billed, cancel it yourself in the Play Store.
- A subscription belongs to the family list. If the owner leaves or deletes their account, the subscription stays with that family list and billing continues on the subscriber's Google Play account — if you don't want that, turn off automatic renewal on Play before you leave. Someone who has left needs a new subscription to use the cloud on a new list; restoring purchases will not move it.
- The owner must hand the owner role over before leaving if there are other members.
- Someone whose own subscription is still auto-renewing cannot join another family list (so that payments don't continue on an empty list). Either turn off automatic renewal, or invite the other person into your own family list. We check automatic renewal with Google Play once a day, so if you have just turned it off it can take up to a day to show.
4.5 After a subscription or trial ends
- Only uploading stops. You can keep receiving for 6 months from the expiry date.
- Six months after expiry, the synced records on the server (photos included) are destroyed.
- The provider never deletes the records on your device, under any circumstances.
5. Backups and responsibility for your data
- Keeping the records on your device safe is ultimately your responsibility. The app can export a backup file, and we recommend exporting anything important regularly.
- Cloud sync is a convenience and does not replace a backup.
- The provider is not responsible for records lost through a lost or broken device, or through deleting the app.
- What a family member changes or deletes in the family list applies to everyone in it. Any dispute about that is between the members; the app provides the "who changed this" label and an undo.
6. Things you may not do
- Reverse-engineering or modifying the app, or getting around payment or trial limits
- Putting excessive load on the server, trying to reach another user's or family list's data, or guessing invite codes by brute force
- Recording or sharing another person's personal information without their consent
- Using the app for anything unlawful
If any of the above is established, the provider may restrict that account's use of the server. Even then, the records on your device remain untouched.
7. Advertising
- Free users see advertising. People who bought the ad removal, and members of a family list with a cloud subscription, do not.
8. Changes to and discontinuation of the service
- The provider may change or discontinue app and server features.
- If the subscription feature is discontinued permanently, we will announce it in advance and either honour the remaining period or explain the refund process under Google Play's policy. Even then the records on your device remain, and you will be given time to download the server records.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the applicable law allows, the provider's liability is limited to the amount you paid over the last 12 months. Rights granted by mandatory consumer-protection law are not limited by this clause.
10. Changes to these terms
If these terms change we will announce it in the app or on this page before the effective date — 30 days in advance for changes that disadvantage you, and 7 days in advance for anything else. If you keep using the app after a change, you are taken to have accepted the changed terms.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Korea, and disputes fall to the court with jurisdiction under the applicable law.
