These terms

These terms are the agreement between you and Cloudy NI (sole trader), the publisher of Pantry Pals (Android package com.luckytools.fridge_split). Installing or using the app means you accept them; if you do not accept them, do not use the app.

They cover the app and the cloudyni.com pages that support it, including the privacy policy. That policy explains what the app does with your information; these terms explain what you may and may not do with the app, and what we are responsible for.

Your licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own private use, for as long as these terms are in force.

You must not:

• copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app, or make it available to anyone else;
• modify the app or create a derivative work from it;
• reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract source code, except to the extent that the law says the restriction cannot apply;
• remove or hide our notices, branding or attribution;
• use the app to break the law, to infringe anyone's rights, or in a way that breaks Google Play policy.

Google Play

The app is distributed through Google Play, so Google Play Terms of Service apply to you as well, and Google's own policies govern the store, the download and the payment.

Google is the merchant of record for anything you buy inside the app: it takes the payment, keeps the billing record, and handles refunds and billing disputes under its own policy. If your use of the app breaks Google Play's rules, Google can act against your Google account as well, which is outside our control.

Free tier, advertising and paid products

Pantry Pals is free to download and supported by advertising. Two optional premium tiers are sold through Google Play Billing, each as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly).

Ad-Free removes advertising on the phone that bought it. Kitchen Premium raises the free-tier cap of 15 items per kitchen to unlimited for everyone in that household — one person pays and all members benefit — and it also removes advertising for the subscriber. All four current products are subscriptions and renew at the price Google Play shows until you cancel; we do not sell a lifetime unlock. The Google Play purchase sheet, not this page, states the price and whether the product renews.

The free version contains advertising served by Google AdMob, with consent collected through Google's User Messaging Platform where required. An active Ad-Free or Kitchen Premium subscription removes advertising for the period you have paid for. Your pantry content is never passed to advertising.

The product identifiers the app requests from Google Play are:

• pantry_pals_adfree_monthly — monthly auto-renewing subscription
• pantry_pals_adfree_yearly — yearly auto-renewing subscription
• pantry_pals_kitchen_monthly — monthly auto-renewing subscription (Kitchen Premium)
• pantry_pals_kitchen_yearly — yearly auto-renewing subscription (Kitchen Premium)
• fridge_share_premium_monthly — a legacy product that is no longer offered; existing subscribers keep their entitlement

The product identifiers below are the ones the app requests from Google Play. The price is deliberately not fixed on this page: Play is the merchant of record and the amount you pay is always the amount shown on the Google Play purchase sheet when you confirm, including any local tax. Treat the price on that screen as the authoritative one.

These rules apply to every purchase:

• Auto-renewal. If the product you buy is a subscription it renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price shown in Google Play, until you cancel. If the product is a one-time purchase it does not renew.
• Cancelling. Cancel in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Uninstalling the app does not cancel billing. You keep the paid features until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Refunds. Google is the merchant of record, so refunds and billing disputes are handled by Google under Google Play policy, not by us. We cannot issue, block or reverse a Google Play charge.
• Price changes. We do not set the amount you are charged — Play does, and it shows the exact price (including tax) before you confirm. If a subscription price changes, Play notifies you and asks you to accept it before it applies.
• Restoring a purchase. Reinstalling the app and signing in with the same Google account restores an active entitlement. If it does not appear, use Restore purchases in the app, then contact support.

Optional live sync and sharing

Pantry Pals works fully offline and unsigned-in: items, history, profiles and preferences live in a local database on your phone. An account and live sync are optional and off until you switch them on. If you do, the pantry content you see in the app is also stored by our processor Supabase, in the United Kingdom (London, eu-west-2), so every phone in your household can show the same fridge.

Sign-in is by email and password, or with Google if you prefer. You join a household with an invite code or link rather than by browsing, and access on the server is restricted per household, so a member of one household cannot read another's pantry. Synced rows are not end-to-end encrypted — the service can read them, because that is what makes sharing work, and the same data appears on every member's phone. Treat a shared pantry as shared information: do not put anything in it you would not show the other members, and keep medical details out of the notes.

If you choose to use that optional feature, these rules apply:

• Live sync is a shared-household feature, not private storage. Anything you add to a synced pantry is visible to the other members of that household and is stored on a server we can read.
• You need a working email address to create an account, and you must keep your password (or your Google account) secure. Everything done under your account in a shared pantry is attributed to your display name.
• Photos you attach to a synced item are uploaded to our storage bucket and served to household members through short-lived signed links. Removing the item, leaving the household or deleting the account removes the app's copy; signed links already issued expire shortly afterwards.
• We may suspend or delete an account that is used to abuse the service or to store unlawful content, and we may stop offering live sync altogether.
• Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose — the app can export your data, and sync is a convenience, not a backup guarantee.
• You may delete the account and its cloud copy at any time. See the data deletion page.

Deleting the account removes the hosted copy and signs out every device that was sharing it. The data deletion page explains what that erases and what stays on each device.

Acceptable use and your responsibilities

You are responsible for how you use the app, for anything you enter, send or save in it, and for keeping your device and your account secure. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose, and where the app can export or share your data, use it.

Do not try to interfere with the app, its servers or other users, do not try to unlock a paid feature without paying for it, and do not use the app in a way that breaks the law.

On the free tier, advertising is part of how the app is paid for. If you would rather not see it, buy the paid product or uninstall the app.

If you create an account, keep your password to yourself. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you, so tell us straight away if you think somebody else has access to it.

Content and ownership

The app itself, its design, its text, its icon and our branding belong to us or to our licensors, and nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you.

Anything you write, record, scan, photograph or save in the app stays yours. We claim no ownership over it, and where it never leaves your device we never even see it.

Where the app includes reference material supplied by someone else — a published text, a public dataset, a third-party image or a calculation method — that material stays the property of its supplier, and the limitations below explain what it can and cannot be used for.

Important limitations

• Not food-safety or medical advice. Pantry Pals records what you tell it. It does not inspect food, test freshness or decide whether something is safe to eat, and it cannot protect anyone with a food allergy or intolerance.
• Always check the label. Barcode and product data comes from the public OpenFoodFacts database, which is community-maintained, sometimes incomplete and sometimes wrong. For anaphylaxis risk, follow the allergen information printed on the packet and your own medical advice.
• Nutrition and cost figures are estimates. Nutrition values come from public data and the quantities you enter; cost figures come from what you type. Neither is a dietary, medical or financial assessment.
• Use-by dates are yours, not ours. Dates, reminders and expiry warnings depend on what you entered and on Android delivering notifications. Never treat a missing alert as proof that food is safe.
• Shared means shared. In a synced household, the other members can see and change the pantry, the profiles and the audit history. Do not store anything there you want kept private.
• Keep a copy of anything you cannot afford to lose. Sync can be paused, your account can be deleted and features can change; export your data if it matters.

These limitations are part of the app's design rather than small print added afterwards. If one of them rules out the way you need to use the app, then the app is not the right tool for that job, and you should not rely on it.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits a right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited, and nothing here excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to exclude.

Subject to that, the app is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will suit a particular purpose, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost data, or for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you started using the app.

Subject to the first paragraph above, our total liability for any claim connected with the app is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

If you are a consumer in the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you rights against us and against Google, and these terms do not reduce them.

Changes to the app and to these terms

We may update the app and these terms. This is the current version, dated 30 September 2026. If we change the terms in a way that matters we will update this page before the change takes effect, and continuing to use the app after that means you accept the new version.

We may also change, suspend or withdraw the app, or a feature in it. If we withdraw something you have already paid for, we will deal with that in line with Google Play's policies and with your consumer rights.

Ending this agreement

You can end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the app and, if you created an account, deleting it as the data deletion page describes. Cancelling a subscription is separate and is done in Google Play.

We may end this agreement if you seriously break these terms. Where we do, we will tell you what happens to any account you hold, and the sections on your licence and on our liability continue to apply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and disputes may be brought in the courts of Northern Ireland. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom you can also bring a claim in your own courts, and nothing here stops you using a consumer advice service, a regulator or an alternative dispute-resolution scheme.
