Terms of Service

Last updated: November 2026

These Terms govern your use of the Spargo mobile app and savewithspargo.com (together, the "Service"), operated from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use Spargo

You must be at least 13 years old and able to form a binding contract. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.

2. Free app and Spargo Premium

Spargo is free to use. You do not need to pay or enter a payment method to create an account or to use the free features of the Service.

Spargo Premium is an optional paid subscription that adds extra features, such as unlimited voice control with the Spargo AI assistant. The features included in Premium are described in the app and may change over time. If you subscribe:

• Price. You pay the price displayed to you in the app at the time of purchase. Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude applicable taxes unless stated.
• Free trial. We may offer a free trial of Premium, of the length shown when you start it. Trial length may differ by promotion or during a beta period. If we collect your payment method when the trial starts, you are not charged during the trial.
• Automatic renewal. When any trial ends, your Premium subscription begins and renews automatically each billing period until cancelled. Your payment method is charged at the start of each billing period.
• Cancelling. You may cancel at any time from Profile → Subscription in the app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Premium until then. After that your account returns to the free features; your lists and other data are not deleted.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails we may retry it and may suspend or cancel your Premium subscription.
• Price changes. We may change the Premium price on reasonable advance notice. Changes apply to billing periods beginning after the notice.

Payments are processed by Stripe and are also subject to Stripe's terms.

3. Refunds

Except where required by applicable consumer protection law, Premium payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at hello@spargo.app.

4. Price information — important

Spargo is an information tool, not a guarantee of price. Prices, deals and availability shown in the Service are gathered automatically from retailer websites, flyer data and submissions from users. This information:

• may be out of date, incomplete or incorrect;
• may differ from the price actually charged in store or online;
• may not reflect regional pricing, in-store promotions, loyalty pricing, clearance, or stock availability; and
• is not an offer to sell and does not bind any retailer.

Always verify the price at the store before purchasing. We are not responsible for any loss, expense or inconvenience arising from reliance on price information in the Service. If you spot a wrong price, please report it in the app so we can correct it.

5. Retailers are independent

Except for stores that list themselves through Spargo for Stores (see section 10), Spargo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any retailer or brand shown in the Service. Retailer names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the store or product a price relates to. Your purchases are made directly with the retailer, on that retailer's terms.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, scrape, resell or redistribute data from the Service;
• use automated means to access the Service outside normal app use;
• interfere with, overload or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service;
• submit false price reports, or upload unlawful, infringing or offensive content; or
• use the Service to break any law.

7. Content you submit

You keep ownership of the photos, price reports and lists you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process and display that content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. You confirm you have the right to submit it.

8. Our content

The Service, including its software, design and compiled data, is owned by Spargo and protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for your own non-commercial use. Premium features are available only while your Premium subscription or trial is active.

9. Beta software

Parts of the Service may be offered as a beta or pre-release. Beta features are provided as-is, may be incomplete or unstable, may change or be withdrawn, and may contain errors in data. We may contact beta participants about their experience.

10. Store accounts (Spargo for Stores)

This section applies if you register a business through Spargo for Stores. It applies in addition to the rest of these Terms. Where the two conflict for a store account, this section governs.

• Authority. You confirm that you are authorised to act for the business you register, and that the store name, address and contact details you give us are accurate.
• Store plans and billing. Store plans are monthly subscriptions at the price shown when you sign up, in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes. They renew automatically each month until cancelled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Store plan fees are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. Payments are processed by Stripe.
• Your listings. You are responsible for the products, prices, deals, photos and store information you publish. Deals must be accurate, available on the terms you describe for as long as they are shown, and compliant with applicable advertising and consumer protection law. We may edit, hide or remove listings that are inaccurate, misleading or in breach of these Terms.
• Licence to display. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display and promote your listings, store name and logo within the Service and in Spargo marketing, for as long as your store account is active.
• Placement. Results shown to shoppers are based mainly on price, distance and relevance. Featured or priority placements included with some plans are labelled as featured within the Service. No plan changes the price shown for a product.
• Analytics. Search appearances, impressions, views and other analytics are estimates provided for information. We do not guarantee any level of traffic, visits or sales.
• Ending a store account. When your store account ends, your listings are removed from the Service within a reasonable time. We may suspend a store account for non-payment or a breach of these Terms.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide reasonable notice.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that price information will be accurate or complete.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Spargo and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, savings, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) CAD $50.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including under consumer protection legislation.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If changes are material we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Alberta have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer protection law entitles you to bring proceedings elsewhere.
