01
What Instant Is
Instant is a product information management (PIM) tool that connects to your Shopify store and helps you manage, enrich, and publish product data across your catalog and sales channels.
Your catalog is the foundation Instant works with. You remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of the product data you bring into and publish through the platform.
02
Accounts and Access
Eligibility
Instant is a B2B service. By signing up, you confirm that you are using the platform for commercial or professional purposes — as a merchant, retailer, or agency acting on behalf of clients.
Account security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Notify us promptly at hello@getinstant.io if you suspect unauthorized access.
Agency use
If you use Instant to manage product data on behalf of clients, you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with any obligations you have to those clients. These terms govern the relationship between you and Instant — not between Instant and your clients.
03
Trial and Free Plan
We offer a trial period so you can see how Instant works with your actual catalog before committing.
What's included
During your trial, you have access to the core features of Instant as described on our pricing page at the time you sign up. Feature availability may vary by plan.
Duration
The trial runs for 14 days from the date you connect your store. We'll notify you before it ends.
What happens when the trial ends
If you don't start a paid plan, your access to Instant will be paused. Your data is retained for 14 days after trial expiry, after which it may be deleted. We'll remind you before that happens.
No credit card required
We won't charge you anything during the trial unless you explicitly upgrade to a paid plan.
04
Paid Plans and Billing
Subscription
Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis — monthly or annually, depending on the plan you select. Pricing is as described on our pricing page at the time you subscribe.
Billing
Payments are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Price changes
We may update pricing. If we do, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice before the change takes effect for your account. Continuing to use Instant after that date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
Taxes
Prices shown are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any VAT, sales tax, or similar obligations in your jurisdiction.
05
Cancellation and Refunds
Cancelling your subscription
You can cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you won't be charged again after that.
No refunds for partial periods
We don't issue prorated refunds for unused time in a billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access through the end of that period.
Exceptions
If there's been a billing error or a technical issue on our end that meaningfully prevented you from using the platform, contact us at hello@getinstant.io and we'll review it. We'll be reasonable.
Data after cancellation
Following cancellation, your data is retained for 14 days, after which it will be deleted from our systems. If you'd like an export before then, contact us.
06
Your Data
Ownership
Your product data is yours. You retain all rights to the catalog content, descriptions, images, and other data you bring into Instant.
Licence to operate
To provide the service, you grant us a limited licence to store, process, and transmit your data as necessary. We don't use your product data for any purpose other than delivering and improving the service you've subscribed to.
Shopify connection
Instant connects to your Shopify store via the Shopify API. You authorize that connection when you install the app. You can revoke access at any time by disconnecting from your Shopify admin.
Responsibility for your data
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload and publish the product data you bring into Instant — including product descriptions, imagery, and any third-party content.
07
AI-Generated Content
Instant includes tools that suggest or generate product copy, descriptions, and metadata based on your existing catalog data.
You review before publishing
AI-generated suggestions are proposals, not finished content. We recommend reviewing all generated output before publishing to your store or any channel. Instant does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of AI-generated content.
You own what you publish
Once you review and publish content, it becomes part of your catalog and falls under your responsibility. Instant is not liable for claims arising from published product descriptions, including claims of inaccuracy, misleading content, or intellectual property infringement.
No guarantee of uniqueness
AI-generated content may produce similar output for different customers. We don't warrant that suggestions are unique or that they won't resemble content generated for other users.
08
Data Processing and GDPR
Roles
For data you process through Instant in the course of your business, you are the data controller and Instant acts as a data processor.
Data Processing Agreement
If you are subject to the GDPR (or equivalent legislation), you may request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) by contacting us at hello@getinstant.io.
Data location
Your data is stored and processed in the EU. We do not transfer personal data outside of the EEA without appropriate safeguards in place.
Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active, plus 14 days following cancellation. You may request deletion at any time.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your data. Contact us at hello@getinstant.io to exercise these rights.
10
Availability and Support
Uptime
We work to keep Instant available and will communicate planned maintenance in advance. We don't guarantee uninterrupted service, but we take reliability seriously.
Changes to the platform
We update Instant regularly. We may add, change, or remove features. We'll communicate material changes that affect your workflow in advance — through the app, by email, or both.
11
Intellectual Property
Instant's platform
The Instant platform — including its interface, logic, documentation, and underlying technology — is owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property law. These terms don't transfer any ownership to you.
Your content
As stated in Section 6, your catalog data remains yours. Nothing here gives us rights to your brand, products, or business.
12
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law:
- Instant is provided "as is." We don't warrant that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or perfectly suited to your specific use case.
- Our total liability to you in connection with these terms shall not exceed the fees you paid to us in the three months preceding the claim.
- We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental losses — including lost revenue, lost catalog data, or lost profits.
Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence.
