Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-15 · Effective: 2026-09-15 (new orders) / 2026-10-15 (existing subscriptions) · Version v1.0 · 2026-09-15

1. Parties and acceptance

These Terms are entered into with Safeguard Essentials, a business carrying on business in the Province of Ontario, Canada, with its principal place of business at 300 Village Green Dr, Woodbridge, Ontario L4L 9R3, Canada ("Safeguard Essentials", "we", "us", "our"). Heptapick is a trade name and product of Safeguard Essentials. Telephone +1 647-778-1355 · Email info@aurorisma.com · Privacy: info@aurorisma.com.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms"), together with our Privacy Policy and our Refund & Subscription Policy, form a binding agreement between you and Safeguard Essentials governing your use of the Heptapick browser extension, the guide site at https://heptapick.pages.dev and the subscription service at https://heptapick-license.safeguardessentials1.workers.dev (together, the "Service"). By installing the extension, paying for a subscription or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to bind it, and "you" includes that organization.

2. What the Service is — and is not

Information service only. Heptapick collects product listings from supported retailer sites in your own browser, recognizes the same product across stores and ranks the results by seven factors (brand, sales, price, shipping, after-sales, reputation, value) with weights you control. Subscribers can also watch items, record price history on their own computer, see a buying-time signal and keep a savings log. Everything is provided to support your own purchasing decisions.

We are not a retailer. We sell nothing but the subscription. Every purchase you make is made on the retailer's own site, under the retailer's terms, prices, taxes, shipping and return policies. We are not a party to those purchases and cannot help with orders, deliveries or returns.

Prices, availability and scores are "as is" — confirm on the retailer's page. Prices and stock are read from retailer pages by your browser at the moment you search and can change or be misread at any time. Scores are arithmetic on the data a store publishes; data a store does not publish is left out. Always confirm the final price, taxes, shipping and terms on the retailer's page before ordering.

"Questionable discount" and "fake sale" flags are algorithmic estimates. They are computed from the price history your own computer has observed for an item and compare a stated "was" price with what that item has recently sold for. They are not statements of fact about any retailer's pricing practices, are not accusations of unlawful conduct and may be wrong (for example if the item was genuinely more expensive before your computer started recording it). Treat them as one signal among several.

No commissions. We receive no commission, referral fee or placement payment from any retailer, and no ranking position is for sale.

3. How the extension works with retailer sites — your responsibilities

The extension opens retailer pages in tabs of your own browser, at ordinary browsing speed, only when you search, and reads what those pages show. It uses whatever sessions you are already signed in to (for example a Costco or Amazon account) so that you see the prices those sites show you; it never reads, stores or transmits your passwords. Because these requests come from your browser and your accounts, you are responsible for complying with each retailer's terms of use and for any consequences of your own use, such as a retailer asking you to sign in again or complete a verification. Do not use the extension for bulk or automated data collection, resale of data or any purpose beyond your own shopping. Retailers change their sites and their rules without notice; we may reduce, suspend or stop support for any store at any time, and a store becoming unreadable is not a defect in the Service. See Section 15 (third-party services) and Section 16 (trademarks).

4. Installation outside the Chrome Web Store

Until the extension is published on the Chrome Web Store, you install it from a downloaded folder using your browser's Developer mode ("Load unpacked"). You are responsible for downloading it only from https://heptapick.pages.dev, for keeping the folder in a permanent location and for updating it as described on the guide site. The browser's warning about developer-mode extensions is a standard notice, not an indication of a problem. If you install a copy obtained elsewhere, we cannot vouch for it and these Terms do not apply to it.

5. Subscription

Plan and price. The Heptapick subscription unlocks the watchlist, price history, buying-time signal and savings log for one installation. The price is USD $5.00 per month, in US dollars, exclusive of applicable sales taxes; where we are required to collect taxes they are shown and added at checkout. Search and scoring remain free without a subscription.

Auto-renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly period and is charged in advance to the payment method on file, at the price shown at checkout, until you cancel. Cancelling. You can cancel at any time with one click, without contacting us: in the extension, at the top of the Watchlist or Savings log tab, click "Cancel subscription"; or, if you have already uninstalled the extension, on the cancellation page that your browser opens automatically at that moment. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period: you keep access until then and are not charged again. You can click "Resume subscription" before the period ends to continue without a new charge. Grace period. If a renewal payment is delayed, access continues for 2 days after the period end while Stripe retries; if payment still fails, the subscription is treated as cancelled at the end of that grace period. Price changes. We will announce a price increase on https://heptapick.pages.dev and, where Stripe holds your checkout email, by email at least 30 days before it takes effect for your subscription; if you do not want to continue at the new price, cancel before the renewal date. Free trials and promotions convert to a paid subscription only if that is clearly stated when you start them; there is currently no free trial.

Device-bound subscription. There are no accounts. The subscription is tied to a random device ID created by the extension when it is installed. Loading the extension from a different folder, reinstalling it, or switching to another browser profile, browser or computer creates a new device ID and counts as a new installation that needs its own subscription. Cancel the old subscription in the old installation first; we cannot transfer a subscription between device IDs. Updating the extension by copying new files over the existing folder, as described on the guide site, keeps the same device ID.

Payments made outside the extension's button. The "Subscribe" button in the extension opens a Stripe checkout that carries your device ID; that is how we know which installation to activate. If you pay through a Stripe link obtained any other way, your payment will be taken but no installation can be activated automatically. Email info@aurorisma.com with your Stripe receipt and, if you have it, your device ID; a person will either activate your installation or refund the payment in full within 5 business days.

Electronic contracting. You agree to contract electronically in accordance with Ontario's Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 and equivalent laws. Stripe emails your receipt to the address you give at checkout; these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Refund & Subscription Policy are permanently available at https://heptapick.pages.dev, and you may request a PDF copy at any time from info@aurorisma.com. Keep your Stripe receipt as your copy of the agreement.

6. Age and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have reached the age of majority in your province, territory or country of residence to purchase the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (under 14 in Quebec) and will delete such information if we learn of it.

7. Your statutory rights

Your statutory rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes, limits or waives any right or remedy you have under mandatory law, including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (and the Consumer Protection Act, 2023 once in force), Quebec's Consumer Protection Act, the consumer laws of other Canadian provinces and territories, and, where they apply to you, the consumer laws of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States or your country of residence.

We email you a copy of your agreement (these Terms, your order details and your receipt) promptly after purchase and in any event within 15 days. If we fail to do so, you may cancel within the periods the Act allows. Quebec.

Except as expressly stated in these Terms and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all content, outputs and deliverables are provided "as is" and "as available", and we disclaim all warranties and conditions, express or implied, including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. This disclaimer does not affect warranties or conditions that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you (for consumers in Ontario, the implied warranties in the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 and the Sale of Goods Act where applicable; for consumers in Quebec, the legal warranties of the Consumer Protection Act and the Civil Code of Québec). Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that any price, availability, score, buying-time signal or sale flag is accurate, or that any retailer will remain supported.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service, however caused; and (b) our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us for the Service in that period and CAD $100. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or, for consumers in Quebec, liability for our own acts or those of our representatives (art. 10 CPA), or our obligations under mandatory consumer-protection law.

10. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Safeguard Essentials and its owners, employees and contractors from and against third-party claims, and the resulting damages, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees), arising out of (a) content or materials you submit, (b) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third party's rights — except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms. For consumers, this Section applies only to the extent permitted by the law of your place of residence.

11. Acceptable use

We may remove content, suspend or terminate access, and where the law requires, report conduct.

12. Software licence and ownership

Licence. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the extension on browsers you control, for your own shopping. You may not copy it for distribution, sell, rent, sublicense or modify it, remove notices from it, or reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble it except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction. Your data stays yours. Your watchlist, price history, savings log and settings are stored only on your computer and we claim no rights in them. Our property. The Service, its software, scoring methods, designs, text and the Heptapick name and logo belong to us or our licensors; these Terms give you the licence above and transfer no other rights. Feedback you give us may be used without obligation.

You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling your subscription (Section 5) and removing the extension from your browser; effects on subscriptions and data are described in the Refund & Subscription Policy and the Privacy Policy. By us. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the Service or other users; where reasonable we will tell you why first and give you a chance to respond. If we end your subscription without cause, or discontinue the Service, we will give at least 30 days' notice on https://heptapick.pages.dev (and by email where Stripe holds your checkout email) and refund any prepaid amounts for the unused period. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law) survive termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before starting any proceeding, please contact us at info@aurorisma.com; we will try in good faith to resolve the matter within 30 days. Subject to the next sentence, the courts of Ontario sitting in Toronto have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of the jurisdiction where you habitually reside, or of the right to bring or join proceedings, including class proceedings, in the courts of that jurisdiction; these Terms do not require you to arbitrate any dispute.

15. Third-party services and links

The Service relies on third-party providers (payment, email, hosting, AI models, content delivery) and may link to or display third-party sites, products or prices. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or practices; your use of a third-party site is governed by its own terms. Third-party names and trademarks belong to their owners; their use here is for identification only and does not imply endorsement or affiliation. For clarity: Heptapick uses no AI-model or email providers; its providers are Stripe (payment) and Cloudflare (hosting), and the third-party sites it displays are the retailers listed in Section 16.

16. Trademarks and non-affiliation

Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Target, Newegg and Best Buy, and their respective logos and product names, are trademarks of their respective owners (Amazon.com, Inc., Walmart Inc., Costco Wholesale Corporation, Target Brands, Inc., Newegg Inc. and Best Buy Co., Inc. or their affiliates). Heptapick is an independent product of Safeguard Essentials and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of those companies. References to their products are for identification and comparison only.

17. General terms, language and changes

Changes. We may update these Terms. Material changes are announced by email or in the Service at least 30 days before they take effect for existing customers and take effect immediately for new orders; the "Last updated" date is shown at the top. If you do not agree, cancel before the effective date. For this Service, "in the Service" means a notice on https://heptapick.pages.dev; email notice is sent where Stripe holds your checkout email. Language. These Terms are available in English, Chinese and French. For consumers in Quebec, the French version is presented first, in accordance with the Charter of the French Language; where you have expressly chosen, after being presented with the French version, to be bound by the English version, the English version governs to the extent permitted by law. Otherwise, in case of inconsistency the English version prevails and translations are provided for convenience. Entire agreement; severability; waiver; assignment. These Terms and the documents they incorporate are the entire agreement about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A delay in enforcing is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor of the business on notice to you, without reducing your rights. Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages or policy changes of third-party providers.
