Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Buffi, operated by Buffi ("we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using Buffi you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Buffi.

1. What Buffi Is

Buffi is a consumer information tool that analyzes clothing products based on fiber composition, estimated material costs, and retail pricing to provide independent verdicts on product value. Buffi is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any clothing brand. Our analysis is independent and no brand can pay to influence our verdicts.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Buffi. By using Buffi you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18 you represent that you have parental or guardian consent to use the service.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. You may not share your account with others or use another person's account without permission.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently or abusively.

4. Free and Pro Tiers

The free tier includes 1 complimentary scan to experience Buffi's full analysis. Buffi Pro includes unlimited scans, unlimited saves, personal analytics (retail traps avoided, estimated savings, total scans), and additional features as described at the time of purchase. For iOS users, Pro subscriptions are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system and are subject to Apple's payment terms. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID settings at Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

Pro fees are billed in advance depending on your plan: weekly subscriptions renew each billing period, annual plans renew once per year, and lifetime access is a one-time purchase. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or at our discretion. We reserve the right to change Pro pricing with reasonable notice to existing subscribers.

4a. Subscriptions and Refunds

Subscriptions and Refunds Auto-renewable subscriptions are charged to your payment method at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. For iOS purchases made through Apple's App Store: refund requests must be submitted to Apple directly at reportaproblem.apple.com. Buffi does not process refunds for App Store purchases. For web purchases made through Stripe: contact heybuffi@gmail.com within 14 days of purchase to request a refund. Refunds are issued at our discretion. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase that does not renew. It provides access to all current Pro features and reasonable future updates as long as Buffi operates.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use Buffi for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or extract data from Buffi's analysis pipeline or database
• Use automated means to access Buffi at a rate that exceeds normal human usage
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or other technical restrictions
• Use Buffi to make false or misleading claims about any brand or product
• Impersonate another person or entity

6. Analysis Disclaimer

Buffi's material cost estimates, markup calculations, and verdicts are based on publicly available fiber composition data, commodity fabric pricing, and AI-powered analysis. They are estimates, not guaranteed facts.

Specifically:

• Estimated material costs are approximations based on commodity fabric prices and typical garment construction. Actual production costs vary by manufacturer, order volume, country of manufacture, and many other factors.
• Markup percentages are calculated from estimated material costs and may not reflect a brand's actual production expenses including labor, design, logistics, and overhead.
• Verdicts (Worth It, Think Twice, Not worth it) represent Buffi's independent assessment based on available data and should be used as one input among many in your purchasing decisions, not as definitive financial or consumer advice.

Buffi is a decision-support tool. We are not responsible for purchase decisions made based on our analysis.

7. Intellectual Property

Buffi's name, logo, design, and proprietary analysis methodology are owned by Buffi and may not be used without our written permission. Product information analyzed by Buffi remains the property of the respective brands and retailers. Buffi does not claim ownership of any third party product data.

Your account data and scan history belong to you. You grant us a limited license to use that data to provide and improve the Buffi service as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Third Party Content

Buffi analyzes publicly available product information from third party websites and retailers. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or availability of third party product data. Product pages, prices, and fiber composition information may change and Buffi's analysis may not reflect the most current information at all times.

Better alternative recommendations are generated algorithmically based on fiber quality and markup analysis. These are not endorsements and Buffi receives no compensation for surfacing any specific product as an alternative.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buffi shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service, including but not limited to losses arising from purchasing decisions made based on Buffi's analysis.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of Buffi shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buffi and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of Buffi, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party rights.

11. EU Users

In accordance with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), Buffi's trader status and contact information are disclosed on our App Store product page where required by applicable law.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. EU users retain any mandatory consumer protection rights granted by EU law that cannot be waived by contract. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of North Carolina, except where EU law requires otherwise.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of Buffi after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Termination

You may delete your account at any time through the app's Profile screen under Manage Account → Delete Account. Deleting your account will permanently remove your profile, scan history, and saved items. If you signed in using Sign in with Apple, you may also revoke Buffi's access to your Apple ID through your device settings at Settings → [your name] → Password & Security → Apps Using Apple ID. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms. Upon termination your right to use Buffi ends immediately. Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.
