Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-08-15
1. Parties & acceptance
The Service is operated by Trident BI Limited(“Trident BI”, “we”, “our”), a company registered in England & Wales. Installing the Service into a Shopify store, or using an existing installation, constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and creates a binding agreement between Trident BI and the merchant that owns the store. If you accept on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. What the Service is (and is not)
The Service is an informational and workflow tool. It observes publicly-available product feeds (e.g. Shopify /products.jsonendpoints), stores what it observes, computes statistical estimates from those observations, generates optional narrative summaries via a third-party AI provider, and — when you explicitly direct it to — writes price changes to your own Shopify store via Shopify's Admin API.
The Service is not: investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, business advice, a substitute for professional judgement, a warranty of any competitor's future behaviour, a guarantee of accuracy, a compliance product, or a fiduciary. Nothing in the Service constitutes advice or recommendations that you or your business should rely upon in making pricing decisions.
3. Your obligations
- You will use the Service only for lawful purposes and only in connection with a Shopify store you own or are authorised to administer.
- You will not use the Service to facilitate price-fixing, cartel behaviour, resale price maintenance, market allocation, or any other conduct restricted by competition or antitrust law in any jurisdiction in which you operate.
- You will not use the Service to track any store where you have received express written notice from the store owner forbidding you from doing so.
- You will keep credentials, webhook URLs, and integration secrets confidential and current.
- You will not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, resell, sublicense, or otherwise access the Service outside of the intended interfaces.
- You will not misuse the Service to overwhelm, disrupt, or interfere with any third party's systems.
- You are solely responsible for evaluating the fitness of any output of the Service for your particular business context before acting on it.
4. Pricing, billing & changes
Paid plans are billed monthly via Shopify's recurring application charge system. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, or immediately upon uninstall — whichever is sooner. We may change plan pricing or available features with at least fourteen (14) days' in-app notice, effective from the next billing cycle.
Fees paid are non-refundable except where required by law.
5. Risk disclosure — predictive pricing, automated repricing & AI-generated content
The Predictive Moves feature, the one-tap Defensive Reprice action, and the AI-generated narrative summaries each carry material commercial risk. Read and understand this section before enabling or using them.
5.1 Predictions are estimates, not guarantees. Forecasts are produced by a statistical model trained on observed historical patterns in publicly-available product feeds. Actual competitor behaviour may differ from the forecast in direction, magnitude, or timing. Published model-accuracy figures (including backtests) describe historical hit-rates and are not, and should not be treated as, a promise of future performance.
5.2 Defensive reprices are real, immediate price changes.When you tap Apply on a defensive reprice, the Service calls Shopify's productVariantsBulkUpdate mutation and modifies every variant of the matched product on your live storefront. The change takes effect immediately for all channels served by that product, including active advertising campaigns, in-progress carts, third-party integrations, and marketplaces.
5.3 Safety caps and guardrails reduce, but do not eliminate, risk. Defensive reprices are hard-capped at a maximum 15% drop per single defense from your current price, and are further constrained by the store-wide guardrails you configure (minimum price floor, per-SKU exclusion list, daily reprice cap). These controls do notprotect against: cumulative effects across multiple defenses, incorrect matching between your product and a competitor's SKU, scenarios where the model is systematically miscalibrated, misconfiguration of the guardrails themselves, or clock/timezone edge cases in the daily throttle.
5.4 Merchant responsibility for legal & contractual compliance. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any price change applied via the Service complies with, at a minimum:
- Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) agreements with suppliers or brand partners
- Resale price maintenance clauses, distribution agreements, and reseller contracts
- Competition, antitrust, and price-regulation statutes in every jurisdiction in which you sell
- Consumer protection laws relating to price display, price promises, and comparative pricing
- Platform-specific pricing rules (marketplaces, comparison shopping engines, price-parity clauses)
- Contractual pricing commitments to specific customer segments (B2B, wholesale, loyalty)
- Sanctions, embargoes, and export-control restrictions where applicable
Trident BI does not evaluate any of the above and cannot know your commercial context. A price change we surface, suggest, or (upon your authorisation) apply may nonetheless violate an obligation you hold externally.
5.5 Data-source limitations. Predictions are derived exclusively from publicly-observable product-feed data. Competitors may operate hidden, logged-in, member, wholesale, geographically-segmented, or promotional pricing that we cannot see. Public prices may not reflect the effective competitive picture. Competitor stores may also disable, rate-limit, geo-restrict, block, cache, or otherwise degrade access to their feeds without notice.
5.6 AI-generated content. The daily narrative summary is generated by a third-party large-language-model provider (currently Anthropic). AI-generated content may contain factual errors, hallucinations, outdated information, or interpretations that do not reflect the actual state of the market. You must not act on AI-generated narrative content without independent verification. We disclaim any warranty as to the accuracy or fitness for purpose of AI-generated content.
5.7 Explicit acknowledgment required. Before your first Defensive Reprice can be applied on a given store, you must explicitly acknowledge this risk disclosure via the confirmation checkbox shown in the Defense modal. That acknowledgment is recorded on your store record and applies to all subsequent reprices you or any user of your store authorises. It cannot be revoked retroactively for reprices already applied.
5.8 Outgoing webhooks and integrations. If you configure outgoing webhooks or integrations with third-party services (e.g. Klaviyo, Attentive, Zapier), you are solely responsible for the design, security, testing, and consequences of downstream flows triggered by our events. We are not responsible for messages, journeys, discounts, or automations executed by third-party systems in response to our webhooks.
5.9 Audit trail. Every defensive reprice is recorded in your account with the full inputs (prediction, safety-cap state, guardrail evaluation, before/after price, Shopify API response). This audit trail is for your defensive record-keeping — it does not shift, transfer, or share legal responsibility for the resulting price change to Trident BI.
6. Third-party services
The Service depends on third-party providers including Shopify, Vercel, Neon (Postgres), Resend (email delivery), and Anthropic (AI). Any outage, downtime, deprecation, error, rate limit, or policy change of a third-party provider may degrade or interrupt the Service. We have no control over third-party providers and disclaim all liability for their acts, omissions, or performance.
7. Warranty disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, availability, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from error. No advice or information — oral or written, human-generated or AI-generated — obtained from the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Trident BI will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost margin, lost sales, lost data, damaged customer trust, or business interruption, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- Trident BI's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you actually paid to Trident BI for the Service in that twelve-month period, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100). If you are on the Free plan, the cap is one hundred US dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the exclusions and limitations in this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including, in the UK, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraudulent misrepresentation).
9. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trident BI, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or reliance on the Service; (b) any price change, defensive reprice, or automated action initiated through your account; (c) your breach of these Terms or any applicable law; (d) any claim by a third party (including a competitor you have tracked, a supplier, a brand partner, a customer, or a regulator) relating to your use of the Service; or (e) any content (including competitor data you have configured, alert rules, webhook payloads, or integration flows) that you submit, configure, or trigger via the Service.
10. Intellectual property
The Service, including all software, algorithms, model weights, prompt templates, UI, copy, and branding, is owned by Trident BI and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
You retain ownership of the data you submit or configure (competitor domains, alert rules, guardrail settings, webhook URLs). You grant Trident BI a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, store, process, transmit, and modify that data strictly as necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service for you.
You grant Trident BI a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use any feedback, suggestions, or improvement ideas you provide without restriction.
11. Suspension & termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Uninstalling the app or cancelling your paid plan constitutes termination by you.
We may suspend or terminate your access without notice if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, are using the Service in a manner that risks harm to Trident BI, our other users, or any third party, or are engaged in conduct prohibited by section 3. Upon termination, sections 5 (Risk disclosure), 7 (Warranty), 8 (Liability), 9 (Indemnification), 10 (IP), and 13 (Governing law) survive.
12. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fires, floods, pandemics, power outages, internet or infrastructure failures, third-party provider outages, or denial-of-service attacks.
13. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to any mandatory local consumer-protection rights you may have.
Notice and cure. Before filing any formal claim, you agree to give Trident BI written notice at dean@tridentbi.com describing the claim in reasonable detail, and to allow thirty (30) days for us to attempt to resolve it informally.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will surface a notice in the app and update the date at the top. Your continued use of the Service after such a notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, your remedy is to uninstall the Service before the effective date.
15. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Trident BI regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
- No waiver. A failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- No third-party beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated, these Terms create no rights in any third party.
- Notices to you may be given via the in-app notification system or the email associated with your Shopify install.
