RecoMelon is an infrastructure-grade optimisation engine designed to enhance product discovery, recommendation performance and revenue generation within Shopify stores.
By installing, accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

3. Trial & Fees
3.1 30-Day Paid Trial
Upon installation, you enter a 30-day paid trial period charged at a daily rate.
The applicable daily rate is displayed during onboarding and/or within the Shopify App Store listing.
Fees accrue daily during the trial and are billed via Shopify.
Unless cancelled prior to the end of the 30-day period, the Services automatically transition into a paid subscription.

Following the trial, fees may include:
(a) Base Platform Fee
A recurring subscription fee.
(b) Usage-Based Fees
Usage fees may be calculated based on:

- Catalogue size and processing load
Usage is measured using RecoMelon’s internal tracking and attribution systems.
All fees are exclusive of VAT and applicable taxes.
3.3 Minimum Monthly Fee Floor
Regardless of usage levels, a minimum monthly platform fee may apply.
This ensures ongoing infrastructure, data processing and AI optimisation support.

The SLA governs availability of the core RecoMelon infrastructure, including:
- Recommendation rendering systems
- API connectivity
- Attribution processing
- Analytics infrastructure
2. Service Availability Commitment
RecoMelon commits to a monthly uptime of 99.5% for core recommendation infrastructure, measured on a calendar month basis.
“Uptime” means the ability of the RecoMelon recommendation engine to render recommendations and process attribution events.

If recommendation tracking scripts are disabled, altered, or blocked, uptime commitments do not apply during that period.

Where practicable, maintenance will be scheduled during low-traffic periods.
9. Limitation of Remedies
This SLA sets out the sole and exclusive remedy for service unavailability.
