Version: 1.1 · 26 May 2026

1. Agreement

By installing or using the UK Subscription Guard app (the "App") from the Shopify App Store, you ("Merchant", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and the Data Processing Agreement ("DPA").

If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

2. What the App does

The App provides informational compliance tools for Shopify merchants, including:

• Automated scan of your Shopify policy pages for language relevant to the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA) and related UK regulations
• A compliance score (0–100) and checklist identifying gaps
• Guided prompts and tips to help you improve your policy wording
• Audit reports (HTML / print-to-PDF)
• DPA acceptance workflow under UK GDPR Art. 28

The App does not provide legal advice. Scores, checklists, and reports are automated assessments based on limited text heuristics. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not reflect the current state of the law. Do not rely on any output from the App as a substitute for qualified legal advice.

3. Merchant responsibilities

You are responsible for:

3.1 Your store's legal compliance with DMCCA, UK GDPR, UK consumer protection law, and all applicable regulations.

3.2 The accuracy and completeness of your policy pages and any other configurations within the App.

3.3 Obtaining independent legal advice before relying on any App output for compliance purposes.

3.4 Ensuring you have a lawful basis under UK GDPR to share any personal data with us (see the Privacy Policy and DPA).

3.5 Not using the App for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the App or our systems.

4. Fees and billing

4.1 Free plan (Readiness Scan): Available at no charge, subject to daily export limits as described in the App.

4.2 Paid plan (Compliance Complete — £15 per month): Charged via the Shopify Billing API at the rate displayed at the time of upgrade. Billing is handled by Shopify; you authorise Shopify to collect payment on our behalf.

4.3 Cancellation: You may cancel your paid subscription at any time by uninstalling the App or downgrading your plan. No refunds are provided for unused portions of a billing period, except where required by applicable law.

4.4 Price changes: We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any price increase via email or in-App notification. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

5. Intellectual property

5.1 The App, including all code, design, documentation, and output formats, is owned by MINISAGE TECH LTD and protected by UK and international intellectual property law.

5.2 We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App for your internal business compliance purposes while these Terms are in force.

5.3 You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse-engineer any part of the App.

6. Availability and updates

6.1 We will use reasonable efforts to keep the App available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

6.2 We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes where practicable.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

7.1 Regulatory fines and penalties: We are not liable for any regulatory fines, penalties, enforcement action, or losses arising from your failure to comply with DMCCA, UK GDPR, or any other law — including where you relied on App output.

7.2 Indirect loss: We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive loss, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity.

7.3 Cap on liability: Our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with these Terms (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) is limited to the fees paid by you to us in the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

7.4 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• Death or personal injury caused by our negligence
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law

8. Disclaimer regarding the compliance score

The compliance score and checklist are automated text assessments only. They:

• Are based on keyword matching and heuristics applied to your policy page text
• Do not constitute a legal audit or legal opinion
• May not reflect amendments to legislation, CMA guidance, or court decisions after the App's last update
• Do not account for your specific business circumstances, product types, or customer base

A score of 100/100 does not guarantee legal compliance. You should treat the App as a starting point for internal review, not a definitive compliance certification.

9. Data protection

Processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and DPA. By installing the App, you agree to the DPA as data controller, and we agree to act as your data processor where applicable.

10. Term and termination

10.1 These Terms begin when you install the App and continue until terminated.

10.2 You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the App through Shopify.

10.3 We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, become subject to insolvency proceedings, or if we discontinue the App (with reasonable notice where possible).

10.4 On termination, we will delete your data per the DPA and Shopify's shop/redact webhook.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a new version at https://dmccaguard.co.uk/terms. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice in the App or by email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept, your remedy is to uninstall the App before the effective date.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief in any jurisdiction.

13. General

13.1 Entire agreement: These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and DPA) constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

13.2 Severability: If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

13.3 Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute waiver of that provision.

13.4 Assignment: We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor to all or substantially all of our business. You may not assign your rights without our written consent.
