Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Mizu mobile application or website (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Mizu ("we", "our", or "us"). We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions) to use Mizu. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are using Mizu on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Your Account

You must create an account to use most features of Mizu. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your authentication credentials secure
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Providing accurate and current information
• Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access

We support sign-in via Google, Apple, and Facebook. Your use of those services is also governed by their respective terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Mizu only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
• Upload malicious code, viruses, or harmful content
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service without our written consent
• Impersonate any person or entity

5. Content You Upload

You retain ownership of content you upload to Mizu (product photos, receipt images, list data). By uploading content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display that content solely to provide the Service to you.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any content and that it does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.

6. AI Features

Mizu includes AI-powered features such as voice transcription, receipt parsing, image recognition, and product suggestions. These features are provided as-is. Results may not always be accurate and should be reviewed by you before acting on them. We are not liable for decisions made based on AI-generated output.

Content submitted to AI features is processed by OpenAI under our API agreement and is not used to train their models.

7. Collaborative Lists

When you share a list with other users, you grant them access according to the role you assign (owner, editor, or viewer). You are responsible for the collaborators you invite. We are not responsible for actions taken by collaborators on shared lists.

8. Intellectual Property

The Mizu name, logo, application design, and all associated content are the exclusive property of Mizu and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, trade names, or other brand features without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party providers including Firebase (Google), OpenAI, Cloudflare, and Upstash. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.

10. Disclaimers

The Service 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 Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mizu shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or USD $10, whichever is greater.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mizu and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

13. Termination

You may stop using Mizu and delete your account at any time from the app settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will do so.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal proceedings.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. Your continued use of the Service after notice of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
