You retain ownership of your store data and any content you create within the App. By using the App, you grant us a limited license to process your data solely for the purpose of providing the service.

6.3 Social Media Content

Social media content displayed through Honestly originates from third-party platforms and remains the intellectual property of its respective creators. Honestly aggregates and displays publicly available content under applicable fair use principles. We do not claim ownership of third-party social media content.

• Generate product insights and recommendations
• Power the "Ask Honestly" conversational analytics feature
• Create content embeddings for semantic search

7.2 No AI Training on Your Data

7.3 AI Output Disclaimer

AI-generated insights, recommendations, and analyses are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute business, legal, or financial advice. You are responsible for evaluating and acting on any AI-generated output.

8. Widget and Storefront

8.1 Theme App Extension

The Honestly widget is delivered as a Shopify Theme App Extension. It does not modify your theme files directly. You can enable or disable it at any time through the Shopify Theme Editor.

8.2 Performance

We design the widget to minimize impact on your storefront's performance. However, we cannot guarantee specific page load times, as performance depends on many factors outside our control (theme, other apps, hosting, network conditions).

8.3 Content Moderation

You have full control over which content appears on your storefront through the Honestly admin dashboard. You can pin, hide, or reorder content cards at any time. We also apply automated AI-based relevance and sentiment filtering.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

Our collection, use, and protection of data is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

9.1 Merchant Responsibility

As a Shopify merchant, you are the data controller for your customers' data. While Honestly does not collect personal information from your storefront visitors (all analytics are anonymous), you are responsible for:

• Maintaining an accurate privacy policy on your store that discloses the use of third-party apps
• Complying with applicable privacy laws in your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, etc.)

10. Service Availability

10.1 Uptime

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The App may be temporarily unavailable due to:

10.2 Modifications

We may modify, update, or discontinue features of the App at any time. We will provide reasonable notice for material changes that affect your use of the service.

11. Limitation of Liability

14. Third-Party Services

Honestly relies on third-party services to operate, including Supabase (database), Render (hosting), Anthropic (AI), OpenAI (embeddings), Google Gemini (content analysis), and Apify (content discovery). While we carefully select and monitor these providers, we are not responsible for their independent actions, outages, or policy changes.

A current list of sub-processors is maintained in our Privacy Policy.

15. Non-Exclusivity

Nothing in these Terms restricts you from using competing applications or services. You are free to install, use, and evaluate any other Shopify apps alongside or instead of Honestly.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), conducted remotely. Each party shall bear its own costs.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Notify you via the Honestly admin dashboard or email at least 30 days before the changes take effect

Your continued use of the App after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must uninstall the App before the effective date.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Dromai regarding your use of Honestly. They supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
