Terms of Service — Patron: Round Up Donations
Last Updated: November 18, 2025
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding contract betweenCo Curator LLC (“Provider,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the installing Shopify merchant (“Merchant,” “you,” or “your”) governing your use ofPatron: Round Up Donations (the “App”).
By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
You understand the App is distributed for use with Shopify and its POS. Your use of Shopify and the App is additionally governed by Shopify’s applicable terms and policies, including (without limitation):Shopify Platform Terms,API License and Terms,Partner Program Agreement,Acceptable Use Policy, andApp Review Requirements. If any Shopify rule conflicts with these Terms, the Shopify rule controls solely for your use of Shopify.
The App enables you to offerround‑up andcustom donations atShopify POS. The POS hometile opens amodal where staff can add a donation line item (as a product variant) to the current cart. The App uses Shopify POS UI Extensions (2025‑10) for the tile and modal targets.
Tile → Modal:pos.home.tile.render opens the donation modal; the tile triggersshopify.action.presentModal().
Add to cart: The modal obtains a session token, determines the required cent‑level variant, and callsshopify.cart.addLineItem(...) to add the donation item (round‑up amount or custom amount) to the POS cart.
Donation product: During setup, the App creates aDonation product with100 variants (US$0.01–US$1.00) so any round‑up amount can be represented as a single variant line item.
Admin experience: The embedded admin shows product setup/overview and links to manage the donation product in Shopify.
POS UI Extensions context: These elements render natively in POS via Shopify’s POS UI Extensions framework.
Important funding flow: The Appdoes not collect, process, transmit, hold, or direct any donation funds. Donations are added to the cart like any other product line item; funds settle through your store’s existing Shopify checkout/payment processor into your merchant account.You receive the money and are solely responsible for remitting it to the organization(s) you designate.
3.1 Subscription Fee. The App isUS$19.99/month, billed by Shopify through your Shopify account; fees arenon‑refundable unless required by law. (If you enable taxes on digital services in your jurisdiction, applicable taxes may be added.)
3.2 Beta Pricing Notice. The App is in testing/optimization; current pricing may be reduced as infrastructure costs are validated. We may, in our discretion, lower fees for all or some Merchants in future versions. (Any pricing change for existing subscribers will be noticed per §16.)
3.3 Billing. Shopify processes payment under Shopify’s billing system; you may cancel anytime fromSettings → Apps and sales channels in Shopify Admin.
4.1 Recommended Volume. Designed for up to10,000 POS transactions/month.
4.2 High‑Volume Stores. If you consistently exceed 10,000 POS transactions/month, we may discuss an enterprise plan; in extreme cases that materially burden our infrastructure, we may require migration to custom pricing or suspend service pending agreement.
4.3 Fair Use. You agree not to use the App in ways that create unreasonable load on our systems or attempt to bypass platform limits (including Shopify API rate limits).
5.1 Uptime. We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The App is provided“as is.”
5.2 Modifications. We may add/modify/suspend features or update these Terms; material pricing changes will be notified at least30 days in advance to existing subscribers. We may make changes required by Shopify platform policies or API/UI Extension updates.
6.1 Charitable, Fundraising & Co‑Venturer Compliance. You are solely responsible for ensuring that offering donations (including “round‑up at checkout”) complies with all laws and guidance applicable to you and the organizations you support, including charitable solicitation,commercial co‑venturer rules, paid solicitor/fundraising counsel rules, consumer‑protection/advertising disclosures, unclaimed property, AML/sanctions screening, and cross‑border restrictions. The Provider is not a charity, not a donor‑advised fund, not a payment processor, andnot your fundraiser or co‑venturer; we provide only software. You must have any required agreements and approvals in place with the beneficiary organization(s).
6.2 Flow of Funds & Remittance. Because donations are ordinary order line items,you collect all funds andyou must remit them to the designated organization(s) on your own schedule and terms.We do not remit funds for you.
6.3 Tax Acknowledgments & Receipts (No Tax Advice).
You are responsible for correctly characterizing donations (e.g., purchase round‑up, non‑deductible gift, or deductible charitable contribution) and for issuing any requiredacknowledgments/receipts to donors, maintaining records, and makingall tax filings.
We do not provide tax or legal advice; we do not generate IRS/CRA/other compliant receipts; and we make no representation that any donation is tax‑deductible.
If you are not a qualified charity in your jurisdiction, donations maynot be tax‑deductible to customers.
6.4 Product Configuration. You must configure and maintain the donation product, variants, sales‑channel availability (including POS), visibility, pricing/tax settings, and staff training. The App assists with creating a donation product and variants, but ongoing configuration remains your responsibility.

8.1 What We Access/Process. To operate the App, we access/process shop and catalog context (e.g., shop domain/id, settings; products/variants used for donations), minimal POScart context to calculate round‑up, and usage diagnostics. The POS modal obtains aShopify session token and requests the appropriate donation variant from your app backend; adding the donation line uses Shopify POS APIs. We do not collect cardholder data via the App. We do not store customer data.
8.2 Installed Scopes (current). The App requests these Shopify scopes:
read_locations, read_orders, unauthenticated_read_product_listings, write_products. We also subscribe to webhooks includingapp/uninstalled andapp/scopes_update.

8.4 Deletion & Uninstall. When you uninstall the App, Shopify sendsapp/uninstalled; 48 hours after uninstall, Shopify issues ashop/redact webhook requiring app developers to erase store data they hold. We comply with these privacy‑law workflows and erase related personal data from our systems as required by Shopify’s privacy rules.
8.5 Data Security. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data and our role; no method is 100% secure.
