Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the HopDrop app and related services (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.
1. Who can use HopDrop
HopDrop runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. You must be old enough to enter a binding agreement in your country and to have an Apple Account. If you use the App on an account managed by someone else (for example, Family Sharing), you’re responsible for following these Terms.
2. What the App does
HopDrop is a shopping-list app. It lets you build lists and drag items to mark them bought or unavailable, keep a pantry that remembers what you have, get AI recipe ideas, set optional reminders near your favorite shops, and share lists and a household pantry with people you invite. Your lists and items are stored in our backend so they sync across your devices and can be shared; your pantry and saved templates stay on your device until you join a household.
3. Your account
HopDrop requires an account. You sign in with Apple or Google so your lists are backed up, sync across your devices, and can be shared with people you invite. You’re responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. We never receive your password.
4. HopDrop Pro & subscriptions
Some features are part of HopDrop Pro, an auto-renewable subscription. The following terms apply, in line with Apple’s rules:
- Plans & price. Pro is offered monthly and annually. The exact price, currency, and any introductory offer are shown in the App before you buy and depend on your App Store region.
- Free trial. Where offered, a free trial converts to a paid subscription automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial finishes. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription during the trial.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Billing & management. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Family Sharing. HopDrop Pro can be shared with your Family Sharing group where enabled by Apple.
- Refunds. Purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms. We can’t issue refunds directly.
5. Recipes are suggestions, not advice
Recipe ideas and any allergen or dietary labels in the App are generated automatically and are provided for convenience only. They may be incomplete or wrong. HopDrop does not provide medical, nutritional, or allergy advice. Always read product packaging and verify ingredients yourself, especially if you or someone in your household has a food allergy or intolerance. You rely on recipe and allergen information at your own risk.
6. Location reminders
Location-based reminders are optional and off until you turn them on. They’re a convenience and may not always fire — for example if location permission is limited, your device is offline, or system settings restrict background activity. Don’t rely on them as your only reminder.
7. Shared lists & households
When you invite people to a list or household, they can view and change the shared content, and you can see changes they make. Only invite people you trust. You can leave a household, stop sharing a list, or block a user at any time. You’re responsible for the content you add and share.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the App for anything unlawful, abusive, or harmful;
- upload content you don’t have the right to share, or that’s offensive or infringing;
- try to break, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the App or our backend;
- misuse sharing features to harass or spam other people.
We may suspend or remove access if you break these Terms.
9. Your content
You keep ownership of the lists, items, and notes you create. You grant us only the limited permission needed to store and sync that content so the App and its sharing features work for you and the people you invite. See our Privacy Policy for how data is handled.
10. Our content
The HopDrop app, name, logo, and design are owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms don’t give you any right to use our branding except to use the App as intended.
11. Disclaimers
The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind to the extent allowed by law. We don’t guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that reminders, sync, or recipes will always be accurate or timely.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HopDrop and its team aren’t liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including missed reminders, lost or unsynced data, or reliance on recipe or allergen information.
13. Changes to the App and these Terms
We may update the App and these Terms over time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Continuing to use the App after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Apple
These Terms are between you and HopDrop, not Apple. Apple isn’t responsible for the App or its content. To the extent allowed, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them. Your use of the App must also comply with the Apple Media Services / App Store terms.
