Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 25, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the Alfred application (“Service”), you (“Merchant,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not install or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Alfred Commerce (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the developer and operator of Alfred. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent.

2. Description of Service

Alfred is a Shopify-embedded inventory intelligence and demand planning application. The Service connects to your Shopify store via Shopify APIs and provides the following capabilities:

  • Inventory snapshots and real-time inventory level monitoring
  • Sales history and product performance analytics
  • Demand forecasting (configurable from 7 to 90 days)
  • Purchase Plan generation (automated purchase order recommendations)
  • Inventory alerts via email notifications
  • Receiving and stocktake workflows
  • Barcode scanning functionality
  • Growth planning and scenario modeling
  • CSV data exports

To provide these features, Alfred accesses your Shopify store data including, but not limited to, your product catalog, sales and order history, inventory levels, and location data.

3. Eligibility

The Service is available exclusively to merchants with an active Shopify store. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the owner of, or an authorized representative of, a valid and active Shopify store.
  • You are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction.
  • You have the legal capacity and authority to enter into these Terms.
  • Your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or Shopify’s own terms of service.

4. Account & Access

Access to Alfred is granted through Shopify’s OAuth authentication system. You do not create a separate account with us; instead, your Shopify store credentials serve as your means of authentication.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Shopify store account, including all credentials, API keys, and staff accounts that have access to your store. You agree to immediately notify us at support@alfredcommerce.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of the Service through your store.

We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to secure your Shopify store account or from unauthorized access to the Service through your store.

5. Subscription & Billing

5.1 Billing Method

All charges for the Service are processed exclusively through Shopify’s billing API. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize Shopify to charge your account in accordance with Shopify’s payment terms. We do not directly collect or store your payment information.

5.2 Plan Tiers

The Service is offered under the following subscription plans:

  • Build— $39/month
  • Grow— $69/month
  • Scale— $119/month
  • Thrive— $189/month

Your applicable plan tier is determined by your store’s annualized net sales, calculated using a trailing 60-day period. Plan features and pricing are subject to change; we will provide reasonable notice of any changes.

5.3 Free Trial

New merchants may be eligible for a 14-day free trial. During the trial period, you will have access to the Service at no charge. At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan unless you uninstall the application before the trial expires.

5.4 Annual Billing

An annual billing option is available at a discounted rate equivalent to receiving two months free compared to monthly billing. Annual subscriptions are billed in a single payment for the full year and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

5.5 Upgrades & Downgrades

If your store’s annualized net sales exceed the threshold for your current plan, you may be required to upgrade to the appropriate tier. Downgrades take effect at the beginning of your next billing cycle. We reserve the right to adjust your plan tier based on changes to your store’s sales volume.

5.6 Refunds

If you are unsatisfied with the Service, you may request a refund within fourteen (14) days of your initial purchase or the start of a new billing cycle. Refund requests should be directed to support@alfredcommerce.com. Beyond this 14-day window, subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Annual subscriptions are eligible for a prorated refund within the first 30 days; after 30 days, annual fees are non-refundable.

6. Permitted Use & Restrictions

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business operations in connection with your Shopify store.

You agree that you will not:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time.

By You: You may terminate your use of the Service at any time by uninstalling the Alfred application from your Shopify store. Uninstallation constitutes termination of these Terms.

By Us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms, violation of applicable law, or conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to the Service, other merchants, or third parties.

Effect of Termination: Upon termination, your right to access and use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain your Merchant Data for a reasonable period (not to exceed 90 days) following termination to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. After such retention period, your Merchant Data will be permanently deleted unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid fees except as required by applicable law.

15. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of these Terms and, where practicable, by notifying you through the Service or via email.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service and uninstall the application.
