Terms of use
Short, because the arrangement is simple. Basket is a small service run by one person and offered to people who ask for an account.
What this is
Basket is a private web application for recording grocery receipts and analysing what you have paid. It is provided as it is, without a service level, and it is not a commercial product with a support contract behind it.
Accounts
Accounts are created on request rather than by public sign-up. An account is for one person or one household. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself, and for what happens under your account.
An account may be closed if it is used to break the law, to attack the service or other users, or to upload material that is not a receipt.
Your data is yours
Your receipts and the history built from them belong to you. Uploading them grants no ownership and no licence to use them for anything beyond running the service for you. You can export everything at any time and ask for it to be deleted.
What is not promised
Availability is not guaranteed. The service runs on a single server and may be unavailable during maintenance or because something broke.
Accuracy is not guaranteed either, and this matters more. Receipts are read by an automated system that makes mistakes, which is why nothing is saved until you have checked it. The figures Basket shows are only as good as the receipts you confirmed, and they are for your own information rather than for accounting, tax or any other official purpose.
Backups are taken, but you should not treat Basket as the only copy of anything you cannot lose.
What Basket does not touch
It has no connection to any bank, card or payment system. It cannot see a transaction, move money, or make a purchase. It reads receipts you give it, and that is the whole of its reach.
Advertising
Some accounts are shown advertising. Where it appears it is marked as such. It is never based on your grocery data, and advertisers never receive your purchase history. The privacy page sets out the rules in full.
Ending it
You may stop using Basket whenever you like and ask for your account and data to be deleted. The service itself may be discontinued, in which case there will be notice and an opportunity to export everything first.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the change will be visible here. Continuing to use the service after a change means accepting it.
