These terms are an agreement between you and ALGOTECH UNLIMITED SRL, registration number RO43636142, registered at Str. Labirint Nr.43, Constanța, România, Romania ("we", "us", "our"), covering your use of the Sync & Shop app and this website.
By creating an account you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
You must be at least 13 years old to create your own account with an email and password. Younger children do not register themselves — a parent or guardian who administers a group can create a separate child profile for them, from inside the app, and remains responsible for that profile and for what the child does with it. See our Privacy Policy, section 9, for how child profiles work.
You can sign in with an email address and password, with Google, or with Apple. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose "Hide My Email", we receive a relay address instead of your real one — it works normally, and you can still reach us and we can still reach you. Note that revoking the app's access from your Apple ID settings will cut off that address, and with it your ability to sign in.
Sync & Shop works by sharing. Anything you add to a group is visible to every member of that group, and any member can edit or delete it. A group administrator can remove members, rename the group, or close it permanently, which deletes everything in it for everyone.
Understand this before you share: we cannot retrieve content another member deletes, and we cannot control what members do with what you share. Treat a group the way you would treat a conversation with everyone in it.
An invite code lets anyone who has it join your group. Share it only with people you intend to add.
The Household section lets a group record utility meter readings, log bills, and keep shared reference material in a Vault. A few things to be clear about:
You keep ownership of everything you put into the app. You grant us only the permission we need to operate the service — to store your content, sync it between your group's devices, and back it up. We do not use your content for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Do not use Sync & Shop to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.
Sync & Shop is free to use. You can create as many groups as you like. On the free plan each group supports up to 4 members and up to 100 entries in total across Shopping, To-Do and Chores, and the Household section is free for the group's first 60 days. We may change these limits in future, and will give reasonable notice before doing so.
The free version shows advertising, served by Google AdMob. We request non-personalised ads only — ads are not selected from a profile built about you, and your advertising identifier is not used to track you across other apps and websites. We do not use anything you put in the app to target advertising. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.
If we ever introduce personalised advertising, it will require your explicit permission first and this document will be updated beforehand.
A PRO subscription lifts the free plan's limits, removes advertising, and unlocks group chat, due-date and calendar notifications, and continued access to Household.
A subscription belongs to a group, not to a person. Whoever pays for it, every member of that group gets PRO for as long as it is active. It does not follow you into your other groups, and it continues if the person who paid leaves administration of the group to someone else — but it ends if they cancel it, for everyone in that group.
You normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract for digital content. Because a subscription gives you immediate access to digital content, you agree that performance begins right away and you acknowledge that you therefore lose that 14-day withdrawal right once access has been granted. This does not affect your statutory rights where the service is faulty or not as described.
Importing a calendar is entirely your choice, and there are two ways to do it. Connecting a Google calendar stores a credential on our server so you can import again later; you can disconnect at any time in Settings, which revokes it. On iOS you can also import from the calendars already on your iPhone, which needs no connection and stores nothing on our servers — the app asks iOS for permission, reads what is there, and that is all.
Either way, imported events become ordinary Sync & Shop events: editable here, and no longer linked to the original calendar. Editing one here changes nothing in Google Calendar or on your device. Both imports only ever read.
We aim to keep the app working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The app depends on third-party infrastructure (Google Firebase) and on your own internet connection and device. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features, and we will give reasonable notice of significant changes where we can.
The app has offline support, but it is not a backup service. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
The app is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost data arising from your use of the app.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim — which, for free users, is zero.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, or if we discontinue the service.
When your account is deleted, what happens to your data is described in section 7 of the Privacy Policy. In short: your account and your data are removed, any group where you were the only member is closed along with its uploaded files, and if you signed in with Apple, that authorisation is revoked with Apple as well. It cannot be undone.
Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription — that is billed by Google Play or the App Store and has to be cancelled there. Cancel it before deleting your account, or you may continue to be charged.
We may update these terms. When we do, we will update the version date and ask you to accept the new version in the app. If you do not accept, you should stop using the service and delete your account.
These terms are governed by Romanian law. Disputes fall to the competent courts of Constanța, Romania.
If you are a consumer resident in the EU, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your own country, or of your right to bring proceedings there.
