Terms of Service
Last updated: April 27, 2026
1. Scope
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the use of the PackMate Shopify app, provided by Valerian Huber, Dahlienweg 11, 83109 Großkarolinenfeld, Germany ("we", "us"). PackMate is offered exclusively to businesses (B2B); these Terms do not apply to consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code).
2. Service Description
PackMate provides an intelligent packaging calculator as a Shopify app. Store owners can calculate optimal box sizes for orders, visualize packing in 3D, manage product dimensions via Shopify metafields, and (on paid plans) generate shipping labels, run multi-package split optimization, and access an analytics dashboard.
3. Plans and Billing
Billing is processed exclusively through the Shopify Billing API. Current plans:
- Free — $0/month, 20 orders/month, all wow-features included (Multi-Split demo, 3D-Animation, Standard Analytics, DHL labels)
- Basic — $9/month, 500 orders/month, DHL labels, system tariffs
- Pro — $19/month, 1,500 orders/month, Multi-Package-Split, 3D-Animation, Standard Analytics, LUCID CSV export, AI-Integration via MCP, Bulk-Reconciliation
- Premium — $29/month, 3,000 orders/month, REST API + Webhooks, Advanced Analytics with Forecasting, 3-year pack history
- Custom (Talk to us) — individually negotiated, for shops above 3,000 orders/month, custom carrier integrations, multi-shop support, dedicated CSM
Each paid plan includes a 14-day free trial via Shopify Billing. Prices are net of any applicable VAT. We do not bill overage automatically — when an order cap is reached, new pack calculations are blocked until the next billing cycle or plan upgrade. Pro and Business plans include Bulk-Reconciliation to catch up cap-hit orders after upgrading.
4. Free Trial and Cancellation
Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time via Shopify Admin → Apps → PackMate → Manage. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Pro-rated refunds are at our discretion; contact help@packmate.shop.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the app for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
- Resell or redistribute the service without our written consent
- Send spam, abusive content, or manipulated data through PackMate's API
- Use the API in a way that materially impacts service availability for other users
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access in case of material breach.
6. Intellectual Property
PackMate, including its source code, design, branding, and documentation, is owned by us. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for the duration of your active subscription. Your data — products, dimensions, orders, packing calculations — remains yours.
7. Service Availability and Disclaimers
We aim for high availability but provide no guarantee of uninterrupted service. The app is provided "as is" without warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Packaging calculations are recommendations; the merchant remains responsible for the final packaging decision and for compliance with carrier and regulatory requirements.
8. Limitation of Liability
Our liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. We accept no liability for indirect damages, lost profits, or consequential losses arising from inaccurate packaging calculations, shipping cost estimates, mis-labeled shipments, or service outages. For paid plans, the maximum aggregate liability per incident is limited to the fees paid in the 12 months preceding the incident.
9. Data Protection
Data handling is governed by our Privacy Policy. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available on request.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms; material changes will be announced in advance via the app dashboard or email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Rosenheim, Germany. This jurisdiction clause applies between merchants (B2B) only.
12. Severability
Should any provision of these Terms be invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to the economic intent.
