Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-05-20
The short version. Reservics is a restaurant reservation app
for Shopify merchants, provided by Aethonic. By installing or using the app
you agree to these terms. Paid plans are billed through Shopify with a 14-day
free trial. You own your data; we provide the software. Either side can end
the relationship at any time by uninstalling the app.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the
Reservics application (the "Service"), operated under the brand
name Aethonic ("Aethonic", "we", "us", "our"). By installing or
using the Service on your Shopify store, you ("merchant", "you", "your") agree to
be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Service.
2. About the Service
Reservics is a Shopify-embedded application that helps merchants manage restaurant
reservations. It provides booking management, capacity and operating-hour
controls, customer-facing email communications, optional deposits via Shopify
Checkout, and a public storefront widget mounted through Shopify's Theme App
Extension framework.
3. Eligibility
- You must operate an active Shopify store in good standing under Shopify's terms of service.
- You must have authority to bind the legal entity (or, if operating as an individual, yourself) to these Terms.
- You must comply with applicable consumer-protection, food-safety, and data-protection law in the jurisdictions where you operate.
4. Merchant responsibilities
By using the Service you agree to:
- Provide accurate restaurant, location, contact, and capacity information.
- Honour bookings confirmed through the Service, or notify diners promptly of any change or cancellation.
- Configure customer-facing copy (confirmation emails, reminder messages, storefront widget text) truthfully and in compliance with applicable advertising and consumer-protection law.
- Publish and honour your own refund and cancellation policy for deposits or no-show fees you collect through the Service.
- Resolve disputes with diners (no-shows, refund requests, complaints about service quality) directly. Reservics is a software tool, not a party to the contract between you and your diners.
- Keep your Shopify-issued credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your shop's authenticated session.
5. Subscription plans, trial, and billing
Plans
- Free — basic reservation management at no cost.
- Pro — USD 9.99 per month, billed monthly via Shopify.
- Advance — USD 19.99 per month, billed monthly via Shopify.
Feature availability per plan is described on the Plan page inside the Service and on the Shopify App Store listing. Aethonic may adjust feature allocations between plans with prior notice via the app release notes or the shop owner's email on file.
Trial
New installations of a paid plan include a 14-day free trial. No charge is made during the trial. The subscription renews automatically at the listed price after the trial ends unless cancelled.
Billing
- All subscription fees are billed through Shopify's Billing API and appear on your standard Shopify invoice.
- Plan upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated according to Shopify's billing rules.
- Plan downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. You retain access to paid features until that date.
- Taxes, currency conversion, and payment-method handling are managed by Shopify under their billing terms.
6. Refunds and cancellation
- Subscription fees paid to Reservics are non-refundable except where required by Shopify's billing terms or by applicable law.
- You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Plan page inside the Service, or by uninstalling the app from your Shopify store. Cancellation stops future renewals; access to paid features continues until the end of the current billing period.
- Deposits, no-show fees, or any other charges you collect from diners through the Service are between you and the diner. Reservics is not a party to those transactions and does not handle refunds for them — those refunds are processed through your Shopify store.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to send unsolicited commercial messages, spam, or content that violates applicable anti-spam law.
- Create false, fraudulent, or test bookings on a production store with intent to mislead.
- Misuse personal data of diners in violation of your published privacy policy or applicable data-protection law.
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract source code from the Service.
- Resell, sublicense, white-label, or otherwise redistribute access to the Service without prior written permission from Aethonic.
- Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm any person, or to facilitate any unlawful activity.
- Interfere with the integrity, performance, or security of the Service, including by probing, scanning, or load-testing without prior authorisation.
8. Intellectual property
- The Service — including all source code, design, templates, documentation, brand assets, and underlying intellectual property — is and remains the exclusive property of Aethonic, protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.
- You retain ownership of your business data, including restaurant configuration, reservation records, diner contact information, and custom-form responses. By using the Service you grant Aethonic a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, transmit, and display that data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you.
- You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices within the Service.
9. Data and privacy
Personal data processed by the Service is handled in accordance with our
Privacy Policy. We honour Shopify's
mandatory GDPR data-request and data-erasure webhooks
(customers/data_request, customers/redact,
shop/redact) within Shopify's stated grace windows.
10. Third-party services
The Service integrates with third-party services that you separately agree to,
including Shopify (the embedded platform, App Bridge, Billing, Checkout, the
Customer API, and the webhook delivery channel) and your configured outbound
email provider. Aethonic is not responsible for outages, errors, or policy
changes in those third-party services. Your use of those services is governed by
their respective terms.
11. Service availability
We aim to keep the Service available and performant, but we do not guarantee
uninterrupted operation. Maintenance windows, third-party outages (including
Shopify, our hosting provider, or your email provider), and unforeseen incidents
may temporarily affect availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts
to restore the Service promptly.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available"
without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to
the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of
trade. Aethonic does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted,
error-free, virus-free, or that it will meet your specific business requirements.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aethonic's total cumulative
liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — whether in
contract, tort, statute, or otherwise — shall not exceed the total subscription
fees you have actually paid to Aethonic for the Service in the twelve (12)
months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event
shall Aethonic be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential,
exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill,
data, or business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such
damages.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Aethonic and its operators from any
third-party claim arising out of (a) your misuse of the Service, (b) your breach
of these Terms or applicable law, (c) your treatment of diners or their personal
data, or (d) the operation of your restaurant business itself. Aethonic will
notify you of any such claim and reasonably cooperate in your defence.
15. Termination
- You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the Service from your Shopify store.
- Aethonic may suspend or terminate your access for material breach, fraud, abuse, repeated billing failure, or violation of Shopify's developer or merchant terms. Where practical, we will provide reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure.
- Upon termination, your data is retained for up to 48 hours per Shopify's
shop/redact grace window, then permanently deleted from our systems. Sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Service,
applicable law, or our business practices. Material changes will be announced
via the app's release notes and the shop owner's email on file. Continued use of
the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the
revised Terms.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
People's Republic of Bangladesh, without regard to its conflict-of-laws
principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to
these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
competent courts of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
18. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific terms presented inside the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Aethonic concerning the Service.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
- No waiver. Aethonic's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation.
