Terms of Use

1. What Bide does

Bide lets you save products you're interested in and watches their prices across retailers. When a price genuinely drops, we notify you and hand you off to the retailer to buy. Bide is not a shop — we don't sell products, hold inventory, or process payments for goods. Any purchase you make is directly with the retailer, on their terms.

2. Price information is best-effort, not a guarantee

We work hard to show accurate prices and to alert you only on genuine drops, but prices change constantly and we can't guarantee they're correct or current at any given moment. Prices, availability, and offers shown in Bide (including any "also cheaper at X" comparison) are indicative only. Always confirm the final price and details on the retailer's own website before purchasing. Bide is not responsible for a retailer's pricing, stock, delivery, returns, or the products themselves. Nothing in Bide is financial or purchasing advice.

3. Your account

You can use Bide with an anonymous account or by signing in with Apple. You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your device secure. If you sign in with Apple, your watch list is tied to your Apple identity so it can survive reinstalling the app.

4. Bide Premium (auto-renewable subscription)

Bide offers an optional Bide Premium subscription with additional features (such as unlimited watches and faster price checks).

• Pricing: A$6.99 per month, or A$59 per year (prices shown in the app at purchase are authoritative and may vary by region).
• Billing: payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Apple processes all payments; we never see your card details.
• Auto-renewal: your subscription automatically renews unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Managing / cancelling: you can manage or cancel your subscription any time in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions), or via the link in Bide's Settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; the current period continues until it expires.
• Refunds: purchases are handled by Apple and subject to Apple's refund policies and applicable law. We generally can't issue refunds directly.
• Free tier remains available; Premium adds scale and speed, not the core function.

Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not excluded or limited by these Terms.

5. Affiliate links

Some retailer links in Bide may be affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy after tapping through. This never affects what we show you or when we alert you. See our Privacy Policy for details.

6. Acceptable use

Don't use Bide to break the law, infringe others' rights, interfere with or attack the Service, or attempt to access data that isn't yours. Don't scrape, resell, or redistribute Bide's data or reverse-engineer the app except as permitted by law.

7. Intellectual property

Bide, its design, and its content are owned by us or our licensors. Retailer names, logos, and product images belong to their respective owners and are shown to help you identify items you're watching.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that prices, alerts, or comparisons will be accurate or timely. You use the Service at your own discretion.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from a price being wrong or out of date, a missed or delayed alert, a retailer's actions, or your purchasing decisions. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law; where our liability can be limited, it is limited to re-supplying the Service or the amount you paid us (if any) in the prior 12 months.

10. Termination

You can stop using Bide and delete your data at any time. We may suspend or end the Service, or your access to it, if you breach these Terms or where reasonably necessary (for example, to protect the Service or comply with law).

11. Changes

We may update these Terms as Bide evolves. If we make a material change, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use Bide after a change means you accept it.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and you submit to the courts of that jurisdiction, without limiting any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
