By installing or using Promo Party Pro ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, don't use the App.
ETHERCYCLE LLC ("we", "us", "our") provides the App. You ("merchant", "you", "your") are the Shopify store owner using it.
2. What We Provide

3. Your Responsibilities

3.1 FTC Compliance for "Free" Promotions
When using the App for "free gift with purchase" offers, you must:
- Clearly disclose all terms and conditions at the time of the offer, before purchase completion
- Not increase prices of other items to recover the cost of the "free" item
- Display the word "free" accurately - items are only free if customers pay nothing extra beyond normal price and shipping
- State minimum purchase requirements clearly (e.g., "Free gift with purchases over $50")
- Disclose any limitations on quantities, time periods, or customer eligibility
- Not use "free" if customers must buy multiple items to get one at no cost (use "buy one, get one" instead)
- Include shipping costs in disclosures if the "free" item increases shipping charges
You acknowledge that:
- Misuse of "free" claims can result in FTC enforcement actions
- You're solely responsible for FTC compliance
- We don't review or approve your promotional content
- The App is a tool; how you configure promotions determines compliance
