HomeStock · Terms of Use (End User License Agreement)

Last updated: 2026-11-12 Effective: 2026-11-12

Welcome to HomeStock (“家当”, “the app”). These Terms of Use (“this Agreement”) are a legal agreement between you and the app’s independent developer covering your download, installation and use of the app. By downloading or using the app you confirm that you have read and agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. License

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple devices permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.

This license does not allow you to:

  • Copy, modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the app
  • Sell, rent, lend or redistribute the app
  • Remove or alter any copyright, trademark or ownership notices in the app

2. Trial, lifetime purchase and subscription

The app is free to download and offers:

  • 30-day trial: all features, including AI features, for 30 days after you start the trial. The trial is free and does not turn into a paid purchase automatically.
  • Lifetime purchase: a one-time payment that permanently unlocks all non-AI features. It is not a subscription and does not renew. It works on iPhone, iPad and Mac under the same Apple ID.
  • AI Pack: an optional monthly auto-renewing subscription for continuing to use AI features after the trial. Not subscribing does not affect the app’s other features.

If the trial ends without a lifetime purchase, you can still view, search, export and delete your data, but you cannot add or change it.

Prices are as shown in the App Store.

Auto-renewal (AI Pack):

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase.
  • The subscription renews automatically within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price shown at that time, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
  • You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time under your Apple ID → Subscriptions in system Settings. After cancelling, you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.

Refunds for all App Store purchases are handled by Apple. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com; the developer does not process refunds directly.

3. AI features

The AI features are cloud recognition when adding items from a photo, organising supplement and medicine labels, recipe suggestions for items about to expire, and creating a routine from one sentence.

  • Requests are forwarded through the developer’s own server to a third-party AI model service (DeepSeek), which processes them and returns a result. The developer’s server does not store your requests or the answers. See the Privacy Policy for details.
  • Cloud recognition asks for your consent before the first use, and you can withdraw it at any time.
  • Limits: to keep the service running, each subscription has a monthly usage limit, and each device has a daily limit to prevent abuse. You can see this month’s usage in the app. The developer may adjust limits within reason.
  • AI output is for reference only: the AI can misread products, dates or quantities, so review recognition results before adding them. Recipes, calories and nutrition figures are estimates and are not dietary, medical or nutritional advice. For supplements and medicines, follow the packaging and your doctor’s instructions.
  • No abuse: do not use AI features for illegal purposes, to bypass limits, to attack the service, or for automated calls beyond reasonable use. The developer may restrict or end access for anyone who does.
  • AI features depend on the network and third-party services and may be interrupted by network issues, provider issues or maintenance. The developer does not guarantee continuous availability.

4. Your data

  • You fully own all data you enter into the app.
  • You can export or delete your data at any time under Me → Data & Privacy.
  • “Delete all data” clears items, spaces and records on this device and in iCloud; your other devices clear after they sync. This cannot be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.
  • Deleting data does not cancel an Apple subscription. If you still hold one, cancel it in system Settings as well, or it will keep renewing.

5. Disclaimer

  • Expiry reminders, restock suggestions, asset values and statistics are for your personal reference. Judge whether food or medicine is safe to use by its actual condition and packaging.
  • The app is provided “as is”, without any guarantee that it is error-free, uninterrupted or meets all your expectations. Notifications may not arrive on time because of system settings, device state or other reasons.
  • To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the app is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app.

6. Intellectual property

The app and all its source code, design, icons and text are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You are not granted ownership of any of these. The developer reserves the rights to the app name “家当” (HomeStock).

7. Termination

If you breach this Agreement, your license may be terminated immediately. You can end this Agreement at any time by deleting the app. Section 4 on your data survives termination.

8. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the mainland of the People’s Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan).

If you use the app outside mainland China, this Agreement is also subject to the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction (such as GDPR or CCPA).

9. Apple terms

  • This Agreement is between you and the developer only. Apple Inc. (“Apple”) is not a party to it. The developer, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • The developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability, failure to meet legal requirements, consumer protection and intellectual property infringement claims.
  • You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist supporting”, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app (for example, your network and device service agreements).
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and upon your acceptance Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce it against you.

10. Changes

We may update this Agreement. Significant changes will be announced in the app or in an app update. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept them.

11. Contact
