Tallo grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms.

3.2

This licence does not include the right to:

4. Account Registration and Security

• (a) provide accurate and complete information;
• (b) maintain the security and confidentiality of your sign-in credentials;

4.2

Tallo is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials.

4.3

Tallo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if it reasonably believes you have violated these Terms.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

5.1 Free and paid features

The App is free to download and provides substantial functionality at no cost. Certain premium features are available through a paid subscription ("Tallo Pro"). The features included in a paid subscription, and any usage limits that apply to free users, are described in the App at the point of purchase.

5.2 Billing through the app store

All subscriptions are purchased and billed through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store using the payment method associated with your app store account. Tallo does not process, receive, or store your payment card or other financial details. Pricing, applicable taxes, and the available subscription periods are displayed in the App and by the app store before you confirm a purchase.

5.3 Auto-renewal

Paid subscriptions are auto-renewing. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, your subscription will renew automatically and the applicable price will be charged to your app store account for the next period.

5.4 Managing and cancelling

You can manage your subscription, or turn off auto-renewal, at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals. Cancelling does not retroactively refund the current period, and you will retain premium access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

5.5 Refunds

Purchases are handled by the relevant app store, and refund requests are subject to that app store's policies. Tallo does not directly process refunds for app store purchases. Nothing in this clause limits any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded (see clause 13.3).

5.6 Changes to subscriptions

Tallo may change the features, usage limits, or price of a subscription from time to time. Where a price change applies to your existing subscription, it will take effect in accordance with the relevant app store's rules, which generally require your consent before an increased price is charged. A change to the features available on the free tier does not entitle you to a refund.

6. Acceptable Use

6.1

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

• (a) submit false, misleading, or inaccurate product prices, barcodes, or other information;
• (b) post comments or content that is defamatory, offensive, harassing, threatening, or otherwise objectionable;
• (c) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• (d) attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the App, its servers, or any systems or networks connected to the App;
• (e) use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it or interfere with any other party's use;
• (f) use the App to harvest, collect, or store personal information about other users;
• (g) engage in any conduct that violates any applicable Australian law or regulation.

6.2

Tallo reserves the right to remove any User Content that, in its sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable, without notice.

7. Product and Price Information

7.1 Nature of Price Information

The App displays product and pricing information sourced from publicly available sources. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

• (a) Prices may not be current. The App's product catalogue is updated periodically. Grocery prices change frequently and the information displayed may not reflect current in-store or online prices at the time of your visit.
• (b) Prices may vary by location. Store prices can differ between individual store locations and may not reflect the price available at your nearest store.
• (c) Promotional pricing. Special, promotional, or discounted pricing displayed in the App may have expired or may not be available at your nearest store.
• (d) Product availability. Products displayed in the App may not be available at all store locations or may be subject to stock limitations.

7.2 Fuel Price Information

The App also displays fuel price information sourced from state government feeds and other publicly available sources. By using the Fuel feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

• (a) Fuel prices change frequently and may not be current. The prices displayed may not reflect the price at the pump at the time of your visit.
• (b) Some sources are delayed. Depending on the state or territory, fuel price data may be delayed rather than real-time. Where data is delayed, the App indicates this. You should not treat delayed data as a live price.
• (c) Coverage is limited. Fuel price data is not available for every state, territory, or station, and station details may be incomplete or out of date.
• (d) Verify before purchasing. You are solely responsible for verifying the current price directly at the station before making any purchasing decision.

7.3 No Guarantee of Savings

Tallo makes no guarantee or representation that use of the App will result in any financial saving or that any price displayed is the lowest available price for that product or fuel type.

7.4 Verification

You are solely responsible for verifying current prices and product availability directly with the relevant Retailer or fuel station before making any purchasing decision. Tallo accepts no liability for any loss suffered as a result of reliance on price or product information displayed in the App.

8. Third-Party Retailer Disclaimer

8.1 No Affiliation

Tallo is an independent price comparison, grocery and meal planning service. Tallo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way associated with Coles Supermarkets Australia Pty Ltd, Woolworths Group Limited, ALDI Stores, any fuel retailer, or any other Retailer whose products or prices appear in the App. No Retailer has endorsed or sponsored the App or its Content, and no Retailer has any commercial relationship with Tallo in connection with the App.

8.2 Independent Compilation

Product and pricing information displayed in the App is independently compiled and maintained by Tallo from publicly available sources. Tallo does not represent that such information has been provided by, verified by, or approved by any Retailer.

8.3 Retailer Trade Marks

The names, logos, trade marks, and branding of Retailers, fuel retailers, and product manufacturers displayed in the App remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance in the App is for the sole purpose of product identification and price comparison, and does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or commercial relationship with those owners.

8.4 Consumer Information Purpose

The price comparison functionality of the App is provided as a consumer information service to assist users in making informed purchasing decisions. Nothing in the App constitutes a retail offer, and Tallo does not facilitate or process any transaction between you and any Retailer.

9. Meal Planning and Recipe Content

9.1

The App provides meal planning features including recipe browsing, meal preparation planning, and a lunchbox builder. Recipe and nutritional content displayed in the App is provided for general informational and convenience purposes only.

9.2

Tallo does not warrant that any recipe content is accurate, complete, suitable for your dietary requirements, or free from allergens. You are solely responsible for verifying that any recipe or meal plan is appropriate for your individual circumstances, including any dietary restrictions, allergies, or health conditions.

9.3

Nothing in the App constitutes dietary, nutritional, or medical advice. You should seek professional advice before making any significant dietary changes.

9.4

Ingredient price estimates generated by the App's meal planning features are indicative only and subject to the same accuracy limitations set out in clause 7.

9.5 Recipe import

The App allows you to import recipes from third-party web addresses and from links to publicly shared social media posts that you choose to provide. This feature is provided as a convenience for your personal, non-commercial use only.

9.6 Third-party ownership of imported content

Recipes and related material available at third-party web addresses and on social media are owned by their respective authors, publishers, or rights holders. Tallo does not own that material, does not claim any rights in it, and does not host or republish it. An imported recipe is saved only in your device's local storage for your personal use.

9.7 Your responsibility when importing

You are responsible for ensuring that you are entitled to import and use any content you choose to import, and that your use is personal and non-commercial. You must not use the import feature to reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit third-party content.

9.8 Automated extraction and accuracy

Imported recipe details are interpreted automatically and may be incomplete or inaccurate, including in relation to ingredients, quantities, method, and allergens. Imported content is subject to the same limitations and disclaimers set out in clauses 9.1 to 9.4. You should verify any imported recipe before relying on it, particularly where you have any dietary restriction, allergy, or health condition.

9.9 Rights holder concerns

If you are a content owner and believe the import feature is being used in a way that infringes your rights, contact support@talloapp.com.au and Tallo will consider and respond to your concerns.
