Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of terms
By installing or using Blackout Dates (“the App”) from the Shopify App Store, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (the merchant) and the operator of Blackout Dates (“we”, “us”, “our”).
2. Description of the service
Blackout Dates is a Shopify app that allows merchants to configure date-based scheduling for customer orders — including store-wide blackout dates, per-product date rules, delivery method pricing, time-slot booking limits, and calendar sync with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.
The App integrates with your Shopify store via the Shopify Admin API and a theme extension that presents a date picker to customers before checkout.
3. Plans and billing
The App is offered on three plans:
- Free — available at no charge, subject to feature limits described on the pricing page.
- Plus — $5.99 per month, billed every 30 days via Shopify. Includes a 14-day free trial.
- Pro — $9.99 per month, billed every 30 days via Shopify. Includes a 14-day free trial.
All billing is handled exclusively by Shopify. We do not store payment card details. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your Shopify admin under Apps → Billing — there are no cancellation fees and no minimum commitment period. Charges are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
We reserve the right to change plan pricing with reasonable prior notice. Continued use of the App after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the App
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App or its infrastructure
- Use the App to transmit malware, spam, or other harmful content
- Resell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer access to the App to a third party
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the App for any merchant who violates these Terms.
5. Intellectual property
All intellectual property rights in the App — including its source code, design, trademarks, and documentation — are and remain the property of Blackout Dates. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the App.
You retain ownership of all data you create using the App (blackout dates, product rules, settings, etc.). You grant us a limited licence to store and process that data solely for the purpose of operating the service.
6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of security vulnerabilities. You use the App at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost sales, or data loss — arising from your use of or inability to use the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 30 days preceding the claim.
7. Third-party services
The App integrates with Shopify, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Heroku. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability or conduct of any third-party service.
8. Modifications to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you via the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
