1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older, that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, and that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

2. Account Registration and Security

To use the Service, you must sign in using Google Sign-In. By doing so, you grant us access to your basic Google profile information (name, email address, and profile picture) as described in our Privacy Policy. You agree to keep your authentication credentials secure and to notify us immediately at support@pandacat.ca if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for fraudulent or abusive purposes.

3. Identity Verification

3.1 Requirement

Before you can purchase any paid subscription plan or paid add-on for the first time, we require a one-time identity verification. This requirement exists to protect all users on the platform, prevent fraud, and maintain the security and integrity of the Service. Users who have already completed and passed identity verification are not required to re-verify for subsequent purchases.

3.2 Verification Process

Verification is completed through the Service and requires:

• Access to your device camera
• A single photograph showing your face and a valid government-issued photo ID document (such as a driver's licence, passport, or national identity card) held together so both are clearly visible

Your photograph is first assessed by an automated AI visual-inspection system. If the automated system cannot confirm the submission after two attempts, the photograph is securely uploaded and reviewed manually by an authorised Pandacat Inc. administrator. Manual review may take 30 minutes to 1 business day (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays). We will not send email notifications regarding the outcome; you may check your verification status by returning to the billing or payment page.

3.3 Accuracy and Authenticity

You represent and warrant that:

• The person appearing in your verification photograph is you, the account holder.
• The ID document shown is genuine, valid, government-issued, and belongs to you.
• You have not altered, forged, or obscured any part of the ID document or your photograph.

Providing a fraudulent, altered, or third-party identity document, impersonating another individual, or attempting to circumvent the verification requirement through any means constitutes a material breach of these Terms and will result in immediate and permanent account termination, forfeiture of any prepaid subscription amounts, and may be reported to law enforcement authorities.

3.4 Administrative Review and Reset

An authorised Pandacat Inc. administrator may, at their sole discretion and at any time:

• Approve a pending verification submission, granting access to paid features.
• Reset a user's verification status — including a previously approved status — requiring the user to complete the verification process from scratch. This may occur as a result of a security review, fraud investigation, account flagging, or routine platform integrity checks.

A reset of your verification status does not itself constitute termination of your account or cancellation of your subscription. However, you will be unable to initiate new paid purchases until verification is re-completed.

3.5 No Verification Guarantee

We reserve the right to decline approval for any verification submission at our sole discretion, including but not limited to cases where the submitted photograph is unclear, the ID document is unreadable, or the submission raises security concerns. We are not obligated to state a specific reason for declining a submission. If you believe a decision was made in error, contact us at support@pandacat.ca.

4. Subscription Plans and Pricing

The Service is offered under a Free plan and several paid subscription tiers (e.g., Pro, Super, VIP, Luxury, Space), as well as paid add-ons (e.g., Shelf Watch tiers, Motion Detection). Each plan includes specific inventory item limits, feature entitlements, and pricing as described on the billing page.

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly recurring basis ("Billing Cycle") and automatically renew at the end of each cycle unless cancelled before the renewal date.

Upgrades: Upgrading to a higher-tier plan takes effect immediately. You will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle, and future cycles will be billed at the new rate.

Downgrades: Downgrading takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Your existing items are not deleted upon downgrade; however, you will be unable to add new items until your inventory count is below the new plan's limit.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing management portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. You retain access to paid features until that date.

Refunds: Except where required by applicable consumer protection law, all fees paid are non-refundable. Unused portions of a subscription period are not refunded upon cancellation or downgrade.

5. Shelf Watch Feature

The Shelf Watch feature, including both tiered subscription mode and Motion Detection mode, is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. By enabling and using this feature, you acknowledge and agree to all of the following:

• Camera consent: You expressly consent to granting the Service access to your device camera while a Shelf Watch session is active. You confirm that you own or have the legal right to surveil the area being monitored, and that your use of camera monitoring complies with all applicable laws, including those governing workplace surveillance and audio-visual recording in your jurisdiction.
• Your responsibility for camera environment: The accuracy, reliability, and trigger rate of motion detection and AI analysis are materially affected by your hardware, camera quality, browser, ambient lighting, and physical surroundings. You are solely responsible for the physical setup.
• Billing responsibility (Motion Detection mode): Charges for Motion Detection mode are calculated based on AI analysis scans reported from your browser. You are solely responsible for monitoring scan activity and managing sensitivity settings to control costs. We are not liable for unexpected charges arising from environmental conditions, hardware variability, or misconfigured sensitivity settings.
• Non-refundable charges: All charges for Shelf Watch, including tiered monthly fees and per-scan Motion Detection charges, are strictly non-refundable regardless of the reason.
• Session termination: Active Shelf Watch sessions are automatically terminated upon subscription cancellation, downgrade below the required tier, or account termination. We are not liable for any consequences of session termination.
• No guarantee of monitoring continuity: We do not guarantee uninterrupted Shelf Watch service. Network disruptions, server maintenance, browser limitations, or device failures may interrupt sessions. The Service is not suitable as a primary safety or security monitoring system.

6. AI-Powered Features

The Service includes features that use artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) to process images, voice recordings, video frames, and file content in order to identify inventory items, parse data, and perform identity verification. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree:

• AI-generated outputs (part names, descriptions, quantities, verification decisions) are provided for convenience only and may contain errors. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying AI-generated content before relying on it.
• Content you submit to AI features may be transmitted to Google's Gemini API for processing. We do not guarantee that Google will not retain, use, or process this content in accordance with its own policies.
• We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI outputs. The AI models are provided "as is" and may not work correctly for all types of content.
• You must not submit content through AI features that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.

7. Developer API

API access is available to users on eligible paid subscription plans. Your use of the API is subject to these Terms. You agree:

• To keep your API key confidential and not share it with unauthorised parties.
• To be responsible for all requests made using your API key, regardless of whether you authorised them.
• Not to use the API in a manner that exceeds reasonable usage, adversely impacts the Service for other users, or circumvents any rate limiting or access controls.
• That we may revoke or limit API access at any time, with or without notice, if we detect misuse or abuse.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of all inventory data, images, and other content you create or upload to the Service ("User Content").

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or abusive behaviour, or for any other reason we deem appropriate for platform safety or integrity. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Cancelling a paid subscription is not termination of your account. Upon account deletion, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to legal retention requirements.

Sections 3.3 (Accuracy and Authenticity), 8 (User Content), 12 (Disclaimer), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), 16 (Governing Law), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

Class action waiver: To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to resolve disputes with us on an individual basis only, and not as part of any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
