Terms of Service — Catalogist

Last updated: [Effective Date]

Draft note — delete this banner before publishing. Not legal advice. This is a thorough, accurate starting point written around how Catalogist actually works. Have it reviewed by qualified legal counsel for your jurisdiction(s) before you publish or rely on it, and replace every [bracketed] placeholder. The limitation-of-liability, disclaimer, governing-law, and arbitration sections in particular must be tailored by counsel to be enforceable where you operate.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between Iscovici Labs – by Ori Iscovici (“Catalogist,” “we,” “us”) and you, the Shopify merchant (“you,” “your”), governing your use of the Catalogist – Bulk Editor application (the “App”). By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and — where it applies — our Data Processing Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. The App

Catalogist is a tool for bulk-editing your Shopify catalog — products, variants, prices, original (compare-at) prices, inventory, tags, status, vendor, type, and SEO — with a preview step and a change History that lets you undo edits. Features, limits, and plans may change over time (§6, §13).

2. Eligibility, account, and B2B nature

You must have an active Shopify store and the authority to install apps on it and to make the changes the App performs. The App is a business tool: by agreeing, you confirm you are acting for purposes related to your trade, business, or profession, and not as a consumer. Mandatory consumer-protection rights still apply where they cannot be waived. You also represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, a country or on a list subject to U.S., EU, or UK sanctions or export restrictions, and you agree to comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws. Your use of Shopify is governed by your agreement with Shopify; these Terms are between you and Catalogist only.

3. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your own Shopify store(s) during the term, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, resell, reverse-engineer, or build a competing product from the App, or use it to violate any law or any third party’s rights.

4. Your responsibility for your edits — read this

The App modifies your live store data at your direction. You are solely responsible for the edits you make and their results. Specifically:

  • Preview before you apply. The App shows the changes before they’re made. Review them.
  • You choose the scope. “Apply to all matching” affects every product matching your filter, which may be far more than what’s shown on screen. Confirm the count.
  • Edits take effect on your live storefront and may affect pricing, availability, and what shoppers see. You are responsible for the commercial consequences of your edits.
  • Keep your own backups. The App is not a backup service. Maintain independent backups of your catalog (e.g. Shopify exports) appropriate to your risk tolerance.

5. Undo and History — what it is and isn’t

The History / undo (“Time Machine”) feature is a safety convenience, provided on a best-effort basis:

  • Undo reverses the recorded effect of a specific change — for relative edits it applies the inverse; for absolute edits it restores the value we recorded.
  • Undo can be partial or skipped. If a product was changed after your edit — by another app, by Shopify, by your staff, or by a later Catalogist edit — undo may skip that product to avoid overwriting newer data. The App tells you what was skipped and why.
  • Undo is not a point-in-time restore of your entire catalog and does not guarantee that your store can be returned to a prior exact state in all circumstances.
  • We make undo available with no time limit while the App is installed, but we do not warrant that any particular change will be reversible. You may ask us to delete history/undo data (Privacy Policy §7, §11).

6. Plans, billing, and trials

  • The App offers a Free plan and a paid Pro plan, billed through Shopify’s managed pricing. All charges, taxes, currency, trials, and payment are handled by Shopify under your agreement with Shopify; we do not process or store your payment details.
  • Paid plans may include a free trial as stated at subscription. Unless required by law or stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable; manage or cancel through Shopify. Cancellation stops future charges; it does not refund the current period.
  • We may change pricing or plan features prospectively, with notice as required by Shopify and applicable law.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) use the App to infringe rights or violate law; (b) interfere with or overload the App or Shopify’s systems; (c) attempt to bypass plan limits, security, or billing; (d) access the App other than through the interfaces we provide; or (e) use the App on a store you are not authorized to manage.

8. Service availability, third-party dependencies, and changes

We aim for high availability but provide the App “as available,” with no uptime guarantee, SLA, or service credits unless separately agreed in writing. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features (or the whole App) at any time.

The App depends on Shopify’s platform and APIs and on third-party infrastructure. If Shopify modifies, restricts, or terminates API access, or changes platform policies in ways that affect the App, we may need to modify or discontinue the App, and we are not responsible for Shopify’s platform decisions. Background bulk operations depend on Shopify’s APIs and may be delayed, throttled, or fail for reasons outside our control; the App is designed to fail safely (e.g. fail a job rather than corrupt data), but we do not guarantee completion of any particular operation.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, third-party infrastructure or API failures (including Shopify, cloud, or network outages), government action, or cyberattacks. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

9. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any edit will be accurate or any undo successful. You assume all risk from your use of the App and your edits, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

No professional advice. The App is a productivity tool and does not provide legal, financial, tax, or commercial advice. You are solely responsible for ensuring your catalog, pricing, and promotional content comply with applicable laws and rules (including advertising, “compare-at”/ sale-pricing, and consumer-protection rules). Catalogist makes no representations about the legality or commercial appropriateness of any edit you make.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost or corrupted data, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the App or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility.
  • Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.

Mandatory exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits either party’s liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; there, the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Catalogist and its personnel from any third-party claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the App in violation of these Terms; (b) your edits and their consequences; (c) your content; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from Catalogist’s own negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, and each party’s indemnity is subject to the liability cap in §10. We will, in turn, defend you against third-party claims that the App, as provided by us, infringes their intellectual-property rights, subject to §10.

12. Intellectual property and feedback

The App, its software, and its branding are owned by Catalogist and protected by law; these Terms grant you no rights in them except the license in §3. Your store data remains yours; you grant us only the limited rights needed to operate the App (see the Privacy Policy and DPA). If you give Feedback (suggestions, ideas, bug reports), you grant Catalogist a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use and commercialize it without obligation to you.

13. Term and termination

These Terms apply while the App is installed. You may uninstall at any time through Shopify. We may suspend or terminate access for breach, for risk to the service or others, or as required by law. On termination, the license ends and we handle your data as described in the Privacy Policy and DPA. Sections that by their nature should survive — including §4, §5, §6 (for amounts owed), §9, §10, §11, §12, and §15 — survive termination.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the App or the law evolves. For material changes we will give at least 30 days’ notice through the App or by email before they take effect; if you object, you may uninstall before the effective date, and continued use after it constitutes acceptance. For changes required by law or Shopify’s platform, we may give shorter notice. The “Last updated” date will change with each revision.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction, unless applicable law grants you rights to a different forum. [Optional, add only with counsel: arbitration clause with a 30-day opt-out, and a class-action waiver where permitted.]

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and DPA) are the entire agreement between you and Catalogist regarding the App and supersede prior agreements on the subject. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets, provided we give at least 30 days’ notice and the acquirer agrees to terms at least as protective as these — if the assignment materially changes how your data is processed, you may uninstall within that period. Notices: send legal notices to [legal/notices email]; we send notices to the email associated with your Shopify account, effective when sent unless we receive a delivery failure.
