Terms of Service

Website: skuascout.ai · Last updated: [DATE]

NoteDRAFT, FOR REVIEW. This document is a working draft to be reviewed and finalized by a qualified lawyer before publication. Items highlighted in amber are placeholders or decisions that still need to be confirmed. Nothing here constitutes legal advice.

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you," "user," or "your") and [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ([COMPANY FORM, e.g. SRL], registered in [COUNTRY / CITY], registration number [REG. NO.], [VAT NO. if applicable]) ("SkuaScout," "we," "us," or "our"), which operates the website at skuascout.ai and the related SkuaScout application and services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to that entity.

2. Definitions

  • "Account" means the account you create to access the Service.
  • "Subscription" means a recurring paid plan that gives you access to the Service and a periodic allowance of Credits.
  • "Credits" means the in-app units that are consumed when you run certain analyses or features, as further described in Section 5. The number of Credits each action consumes is shown in the Service before you run it.
  • "User Content" means any data, inputs, files (including X-ray CSV exports), keywords, ASINs, niches, and other materials you submit to the Service.
  • "Outputs" means the research, scores, analyses, blueprints, and other results the Service generates from your User Content.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your Account and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your Account.

You may sign in using email and password or a supported third-party login (such as Google). You are responsible for maintaining the security of any third-party account you use to access the Service.

Accounts are for a single user. Sharing an Account, or sharing credentials with others, is not permitted. [CONFIRM: do you allow team/seat-based accounts under higher tiers?]

4. The Service

SkuaScout is an Amazon product-research platform. It helps users discover, validate, and evaluate product opportunities through a multi-stage workflow and a set of standalone tools, and turns that work into scores and a product blueprint.

The Service is provided on an evolving basis. Features may be added, changed, or removed over time, and some features may be labeled as beta, preview, or "coming soon" and may be incomplete or subject to change.

Important: the Service provides research and decision-support tools. It does not guarantee any business outcome, sales, profit, or that any product or niche will be successful. See Section 12 (Disclaimers).

5. Subscriptions, Plans, and Credits

5.1 Plans

The Service is offered through subscription tiers. The current plans, their prices, and what each includes are described at [PRICING PAGE URL]. At launch the tiers are Platinum, Diamond, and Scale, billed monthly or annually; every tier includes the full feature set and differs only in its monthly Credit allowance.

5.2 Credits

Certain features consume Credits when used. Each Subscription includes a Credit allowance that refreshes at the start of each billing cycle. The number of Credits a given action consumes is shown in the Service before you run it and may be adjusted from time to time as our underlying costs change.

Monthly allowance Credits expire at the end of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Credits purchased as one-time top-ups roll over indefinitely, remain available until used, and are consumed only after your monthly allowance Credits.

5.3 Top-ups

If you run out of Credits, you may purchase additional Credit packs as one-time purchases, or upgrade to a higher tier with a larger allowance. Top-up purchases are added to your balance once payment is confirmed.

5.4 Free signup grant

New accounts receive a one-time grant of free Credits, without a payment card. The grant does not renew. When it is used up, you must subscribe (or purchase a top-up as part of a subscription) to continue running paid analyses; your account, history, and results remain accessible. We may change or end free offerings at any time for new signups.

6. Billing, Renewals, and Price Changes

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, [Stripe]. By subscribing, you authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for the applicable fees, taxes, and any top-ups you purchase. We do not store full payment card details ourselves.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as selected) at the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will charge your payment method on each renewal.

You can manage, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your Subscription at any time from your account billing settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then, and you will not be charged for the next period.

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and may suspend or downgrade your access until payment succeeds. Prices may change; we will give you reasonable advance notice [CONFIRM NOTICE PERIOD, e.g. 30 days] of any price increase, which will take effect on your next renewal.

All fees are stated [exclusive / inclusive] of VAT and other applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law.

7. Refunds and Cancellations

All sales are final (policy locked by David, 2026-07-03). Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, downgrades, or unused Credits. Credits that have already been consumed are non-refundable. Top-up purchases are non-refundable once the Credits have been added to your balance. [LAWYER REVIEW: EU consumer law and GDPR erasure may force a narrow exception for unconsumed prepaid top-ups on account deletion, do not hard-code "never refund" in a way that blocks a compliant erasure path.]

Note on EU consumer rights: if you are a consumer in the EU, you may have a statutory right of withdrawal for a limited period after purchase. Because the Service provides digital content/services that begin immediately, [CONFIRM how you handle the EU 14-day withdrawal right and the express-consent waiver for immediate access]. A lawyer should confirm this section for EU compliance.

8. Referral Program

We may offer a referral program that lets you share a unique referral code. When a new user subscribes using your code, the new user may receive a discount on their first payment, and you (the referrer) may receive a reward in Credits, as described in the Service at the time.

Referral rewards are issued only after the referred user completes a qualifying paid purchase. We may withhold or revoke rewards, and disable codes, where we reasonably suspect fraud, self-referral, abuse, or any attempt to game the program.

Referral terms (discount amount, reward amount, limits, and eligibility) are set out in the Service and may change or end at any time. Additional limits may apply, including [CONFIRM: maximum rewards per user/period, one reward per referred user, etc.].

9. Your Content and Outputs

As between you and SkuaScout, you own your User Content and the Outputs generated for you through the Service. We do not claim ownership of your research, analyses, or product blueprints.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, and use your User Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service for you. We may use aggregated and de-identified data (which does not identify you) to improve our models and the Service.

You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights necessary to submit it and that doing so does not violate any law or third-party rights.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • copy, scrape, harvest, or extract data or Outputs from the Service except through features we provide;
  • resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its Outputs except as expressly permitted;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying models of the Service;
  • use the Service to build, train, or assist a competing product or service;
  • share your Account or credentials, or circumvent usage limits, Credit limits, or access controls;
  • introduce malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or interfere with the Service's operation or security;
  • misuse the referral program or engage in fraudulent or abusive activity.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate Accounts that breach this section.

11. Third-Party Services and Data

The Service relies on and references third-party platforms and data, including Amazon, third-party research tools such as Helium 10 (for X-ray CSV imports), and our payment processor. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon or Helium 10.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service, and of any data you import or export, complies with the terms of service and policies of those third parties (including Amazon's and Helium 10's terms). We are not responsible for changes to, or the availability or accuracy of, third-party data, fees, tariffs, or rates.

Tariff, fee, and rate information is provided for guidance and may not always reflect the latest official figures. You should independently verify figures before making financial commitments.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

SkuaScout provides research and decision-support tools only. We do not provide business, financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and the Service is not a substitute for your own due diligence. Scores, verdicts, estimates, and blueprints are informational and do not guarantee any result, including sales, rankings, profitability, or that any product or niche will succeed.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any data or estimate is accurate or complete. Any reliance you place on the Service is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SkuaScout and its owners, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of [the total amount you paid us in the 3/12 months before the event giving rise to the claim] or [a fixed amount, e.g. €100].

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence).

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SkuaScout and its owners and personnel from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.

15. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your Account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, or if we reasonably believe your use poses a risk to the Service, other users, or third parties.

On termination, your right to use the Service ends. We may delete your Account and User Content after [RETENTION PERIOD, e.g. 30 days], except where we must retain it by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

16. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email or an in-app notice) before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

17. Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at [PRIVACY POLICY URL]. As a business operating in the EU, we process personal data in accordance with the GDPR. Please review the Privacy Policy carefully.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [COUNTRY, e.g. Romania], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in [CITY / COUNTRY, e.g. Bucharest, Romania] will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.

If you are an EU consumer, you may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform. [CONFIRM whether to include the ODR link / required consumer dispute language].

19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the documents referenced in them are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Notices. We may send notices to the email associated with your Account.
