Terms of Service
These terms cover your use of Shrim, including what Shrim's care information is and isn't.
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and XeroOne+ ("we," "us"), the operator of Shrim, covering the website at shrim.app and the Shrim app (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you.
- You sign in with one-time codes (or links) sent to your email. Keep your email account secure, since anyone with access to it can sign in to Shrim as you.
- You're responsible for activity under your account and for the accuracy of what you enter.
3. Your content
You own the tank details, test results, notes and photos you add ("Your Content"). You give us a limited license to store, copy, process and display Your Content only to operate the Service for you, for example to sync it across your devices. Only add photos you have the right to use, and don't upload anything unlawful, harmful or unrelated to keeping aquatic animals. You can delete Your Content or your whole account at any time in the app.
4. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the Service. For example, don't try to access other people's accounts or data, probe or disrupt our systems, reverse engineer the Service except where the law allows, use it to send spam, or use automated means to scrape it.
5. Care information disclaimer
- Lessons, target ranges, checks, reminders, plans and troubleshooting tips in Shrim are general educational information based on common hobbyist practice for Neocaridina shrimp. They are approximate, are not laboratory or veterinary standards, and may not fit your tank, water supply, livestock or local conditions.
- Shrim is not veterinary advice and is not a substitute for a qualified aquatic veterinarian or experienced local expert.
- Shrim's checks depend on the numbers you enter. Test kits, strips and meters can be inaccurate. Always confirm readings and use your own judgment before treating water, dosing products or moving animals.
- Follow product labels and manufacturer directions. References to products or brands are for information only and are not endorsements. We don't receive payment for them.
- Livestock loss can happen even with good care. We are not responsible for the health, breeding, loss or death of any animal or plant, or for damage to tanks, equipment or property.
- Follow the laws where you live about keeping, moving, selling and disposing of aquatic animals and plants. Never release shrimp, snails or plants into the wild.
6. Availability and changes
Shrim is in early access. Features may change, and the Service may sometimes be unavailable. We may modify, suspend or end the Service. If we plan to shut it down, we'll try to give account holders reasonable notice so they can save their information. The Service is currently free. If we add paid features, we'll show the price clearly before you're charged.
7. Ending your use
You can stop using Shrim and delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms or put the Service or other users at risk. Sections 3 (license to the extent needed to finish deletion), 5, 8, 9 and 10 continue after your account ends.
8. Warranty disclaimer
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS INFORMATION WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR ANIMALS.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, XEROONE+ AND ITS OWNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF ANIMALS, PLANTS, DATA, PROPERTY OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR US$50. SOME PLACES DON'T ALLOW THESE LIMITS, SO THEY MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU.
10. Indemnity, law and disputes
If you misuse the Service or break these Terms and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses from that claim, to the extent the law allows. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Alameda County, California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally. Please contact us first. Most issues can be solved quickly.
11. Apple App Store
If you get Shrim from Apple's App Store, these Terms are between you and XeroOne+, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any claims about it, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims. To the extent any warranty applies and the app fails to conform, you may notify Apple for a refund of any purchase price, and Apple has no other warranty obligation. You must follow any applicable third-party terms when using the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and aren't on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We'll change the effective date above and, for significant changes, let account holders know in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Shrim after that means you accept the updated Terms.
