Terms of Service for Slip Tracker ZA

1 Agreement to Terms & Application Scope

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User" or "you") and ReederDevelopments ("Developer", "Trader", "we", "us", or "our") governing your download, installation, access, and use of the Slip Tracker ZA mobile application (Android package identifier: com.reederdevelopments.sliptrackerza), including its optical character recognition (OCR) receipt scanner, monthly budget tracker, cross-store price comparison tools, local SQLite database, and backup utilities (collectively, the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using Slip Tracker ZA from Google Play, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Slip Tracker ZA Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App and uninstall it from your device.

2 OCR Accuracy, Retail Pricing & Financial Disclaimer

• Verification of Scanned Receipt Data: Optical character recognition (OCR) accuracy depends on receipt print quality, thermal paper fading, lighting, folds, and camera focus. While Slip Tracker ZA is trained on South African retail slip formats, automated extraction of store names, dates, line items, quantities, discounts, VAT, and totals may occasionally contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying scanned figures against your original physical receipt.
• No Affiliation with Retailers & Price Comparison Notice: Retailer names, categories, and color badges (such as Checkers, Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Woolworths, SPAR, Clicks, Dis-Chem, Makro, Game, Builders, Boxer, Food Lover's Market, PEP, and Crazy Plastics) are included strictly for user identification of their own shopping slips. Slip Tracker ZA and ReederDevelopments are independent and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any listed retailer. Cross-store price comparisons are generated exclusively from the historical receipts you scan into your own device and do not represent live store pricing.
• Retain Original Tax Invoices: Digital summaries inside Slip Tracker ZA do not replace original SARS-compliant tax invoices or physical proof-of-purchase receipts required for store returns, warranties, or tax submissions.

3 License Grant & Acceptable Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ReederDevelopments grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use Slip Tracker ZA on Android devices that you own or control for personal and household use.

You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App or its custom South African OCR parsing rules;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of Slip Tracker ZA, except where expressly permitted by applicable law;
• Interfere with or circumvent any security, encryption, or advertising components of the App;
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices contained in the App.

4 Local-First Storage & Backup Responsibility

Slip Tracker ZA stores all slips, items, budgets, and cropped receipt photos locally on your device.

• Device Loss & Uninstallation: Because ReederDevelopments does not store copies of your receipts on external servers, we cannot recover your slips or photos if your phone is lost, damaged, reset, or if you uninstall the App without first exporting a .sliptracker backup file to external storage.
• Password-Encrypted Backups: When you protect a .sliptracker backup file with a password, it is encrypted with AES-256. ReederDevelopments does not know or store your password and cannot decrypt or recover a backup file if you forget your password.

5 Advertisements, Purchases & Google Play Terms

Slip Tracker ZA is distributed via the Google Play Store and is supported by advertisements served via Google AdMob (and any optional in-app purchases or upgrades if offered in future versions).

• Google Play Terms of Service: Your download and use of Slip Tracker ZA is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Any purchases, billing, or refund requests processed through Google Play are subject to Google Play's policies and applicable consumer protection laws.

6 Intellectual Property Rights

All rights, title, and interest in and to Slip Tracker ZA, including its source code, OCR heuristic engine, user interface design, graphics, app icon, and branding, are and remain the exclusive property of ReederDevelopments. You retain full ownership of all personal receipt photos, slip records, and budget data that you capture and store on your device.

7 Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Slip Tracker ZA is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, OCR parsing accuracy, or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ReederDevelopments shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages—including but not limited to financial budgeting discrepancies, inaccurate OCR text extraction, loss of local device data, or purchasing decisions—arising out of or in connection with your use of Slip Tracker ZA. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any statutory consumer rights or liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8 Updates, Modifications & Termination

We may update Slip Tracker ZA via Google Play and revise these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be published at https://reederdevelopments.co.za/sliptrackerza/tos.html with an updated "Effective Date" at the top of the page. Continued use of the App after any changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling Slip Tracker ZA from your device.

9 Governing Law & International Consumer Rights

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are a consumer residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
