Terms of Use

Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 28, 2026

1. App purpose

Pretio helps you scan products, save prices, compare local values, optionally search for online information, export records, and remember useful shopping information. Pretio is not an online marketplace, payment service, financial service, price-verification service, or store operator.

2. Price information

Saved prices and product information depend on the data you enter or record. The Best Price shown by Pretio is calculated from your locally saved price history; it is not fetched from Google or another online source. Store prices, promotions, taxes, package sizes, delivery costs, and availability may change. Online search results may also be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or shown for a different product variant. Always confirm the seller, product, package size, final price, and purchase terms before buying.

3. Compare Online

Compare Online is an optional, user-initiated feature. No online comparison request is made until you select the Online action for a product.

When you use Compare Online, Pretio creates a Google Search query from the current product name, the saved brand when available and not already represented in the product name, the saved package size when available, and the word “price.” Google Search results are displayed inside Pretio. Google-owned search navigation may remain in the in-app web view, while selecting an external result may open a website, browser, Android chooser, or compatible marketplace app outside Pretio.

Pretio does not scrape, extract, verify, rank, or save online offers or online prices. Pretio does not place orders, process transactions, guarantee seller legitimacy, or guarantee that a search result matches your exact product. The Product Name, Brand, Package, and Best Price header remains Pretio data; the Best Price is based only on your local saved records.

External results, sellers, websites, and apps are operated by third parties. Their content, prices, availability, delivery terms, account requirements, tracking, security, and transactions are governed by their own terms and policies. You are responsible for reviewing those terms and verifying information before continuing.

4. Local data and backups

Your product records, saved prices, shopping list, notes, and related shopping data are stored locally on your device unless you choose to use Compare Online, back them up, export them, restore them, or otherwise share them yourself. Compare Online sends only the product information described in Section 3 as part of the visible search query; it does not send your saved price history, stores, notes, shopping list, backups, or exports through that feature.

If you uninstall Pretio or clear its data without a backup, your records may be lost. Once a backup or export file is saved outside Pretio, you are responsible for where it is stored, who can access it, and whether it remains available.

5. Free version and advertising

The free version of Pretio may display banner advertisements in a dedicated area of the app. Advertising availability, content, and delivery may depend on Google AdMob, your device, internet connection, consent choices, region, and available advertising inventory.

In the free version, exporting data to Excel may require you to voluntarily watch one rewarded advertisement for each export. Pretio will explain this before showing the ad. An export is unlocked only after the rewarded-ad provider confirms completion.

If a rewarded advertisement cannot load, is closed early, or does not return a completion confirmation, the free export may not be available at that time. Pretio does not guarantee that an advertisement will always be available.

6. Pretio Premium

Pretio Premium may be offered as a one-time, non-subscription purchase through Google Play. While a valid Premium entitlement is active, Pretio removes its banner advertisements and allows Excel exports without requiring rewarded advertisements.

The purchase price, currency, taxes, payment methods, and availability are shown by Google Play. A valid purchase may be restored on supported devices using the Google account that completed the purchase, subject to Google Play availability and verification.

If a purchase is cancelled, refunded, reversed, revoked, or cannot be verified, Premium access may be removed and the app may return to free-version behavior.

7. Purchases, billing, and refunds

Pretio Premium purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. Pretio does not directly receive or store your full payment-card details. Purchase processing, order status, and eligible refund handling are subject to Google Play policies and applicable law.

For purchase problems, first review your Google Play order history or Google Play support options. You may also contact Pretio support and include non-sensitive order information needed to investigate the issue. Never send full payment-card details or account passwords.

8. Third-party services

Pretio may use Google services including Google Search, Google AdMob, Google User Messaging Platform, and Google Play Billing. Compare Online may also direct you to independent websites, browsers, or marketplace apps. Your use of Google and other third-party services is governed by their applicable terms and privacy policies.

9. Availability and technical limitations

Pretio is provided on an “as available” basis. Features may be temporarily unavailable because of device limitations, operating-system restrictions, connectivity, third-party service outages, website changes, maintenance, or technical errors. Compare Online requires an internet connection and may stop working if Google Search, a destination website, Android link handling, or the embedded web-view technology changes or becomes unavailable. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, permanent availability of any search result, or permanent availability of any advertisement.

10. Acceptable use

You may use Pretio for lawful personal purposes. You must not attempt to interfere with the app, manipulate advertising rewards, bypass purchase verification, misuse Google Play Billing, or use Pretio in a way that violates applicable law or third-party service rules.

11. No login required

Pretio does not require a Pretio account or Pretio cloud login for its core local features. Google services may still use your device, browser state, or Google account where applicable for Search, advertising, consent management, purchase processing, and purchase restoration. Destination websites or apps may separately require their own accounts.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when Pretio features, monetization, legal requirements, or third-party services change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.

13. Contact

For help, purchase questions, or problem reports, contact pretio.support@maxqstudio.dev.
