Terms of Service

Broke Da Cart brings deals across O'ahu into one place: the weekly circular deals that O'ahu grocery stores publish, shown side by side so you can compare prices, build a shopping list and take it shopping store by store; and deals from other local businesses, such as restaurants and bars, attractions and activities, stays, services and shops, including kama'aina, military, kupuna and keiki rates. You can save deals, get alerts for things you follow (by email or, in our apps, as notifications), and keep track of what you save. We are an independent service. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any store or business we list, and their names and logos belong to their owners.

Broke Da Cart is in an invite-only beta while we get it ready to launch. During the beta:

• It's free. There's nothing to buy, and you won't be charged for anything.
• Things will change. Features may be added, changed or removed, and some may not work as they should. Please tell us when something looks wrong, using “Send feedback” at the bottom of any page.
• Your account carries over. We plan to keep your account, lists and deal alerts when we launch. We'll do our best not to lose anything, but during the beta we can't promise it.
• At launch, paid plans will open, and we'll email every beta account an invitation to start a free 30-day trial when you choose, with no card needed. You'll only be charged if you choose a plan.

We may end the beta, or pause the service, at any time.

• Free trial. A new account starts with a 14-day free trial (30 days if you signed up from a friend's invite; see “Referrals”). No payment card is needed. During the trial you can use everything.
• Plans. $8.99 a month, in U.S. dollars. Prices include Hawaii general excise tax.
• Founding-member price. If you subscribe by December 31, 2026 (Hawaii time), you pay $5.99 a month instead, for as long as your plan stays active. If your plan ends, the regular price applies if you subscribe again.
• Subscribing during your trial. You keep the rest of your trial, and your first charge comes on the day it ends. If less than two days of your trial are left, your paid plan starts right away.
• Automatic renewal. Your plan renews automatically at the end of each month, and we charge the payment method you gave us at the price then in effect, until you cancel. We'll tell you at least 30 days before a price change applies to your plan, and you can cancel before it does. A founding-member price won't go up while your plan stays active.
• Canceling. You can cancel a plan bought on our website at any time on your Account page (Manage billing). You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. We don't give refunds or credits for partial periods, except where the law requires.
• Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. You enter your card details on Stripe's secure page; we never receive your full card number. If a payment fails, we may try again, and if it can't be collected your plan may end.
• Without a plan. After your trial, or when a plan ends, you keep a free preview: free events and public programs stay fully open, other deals show as previews without the business or price, your list and saved deals are kept but shown the same way until you subscribe, and deal alerts stop.
• Subscribing in our apps. You can also subscribe in our iPhone or Android app through Apple's App Store or Google Play. That store handles the payment, and its terms apply to billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds: you cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings, and deleting your account or the app doesn't cancel it. A plan bought on our website works in our apps, and a plan bought in an app works on our website.

Every account has an invite link. When someone who doesn't already have an account signs up from your link, they get a 30-day free trial instead of 14 days.

• What you earn. When a friend you invited makes their first payment for a plan, you earn one free month, about 14 days after their payment, as long as it isn't refunded or disputed: your next charge moves a month later. If you don't have a paid plan yet, the month is saved, and when you subscribe your first charge moves a month later for each month saved.
• Limits. You can earn up to 12 free months in any 12 months. Free months have no cash value, can't be transferred, sold or exchanged, and end if your account is deleted. For now, they apply to plans bought on our website; for a plan bought through the App Store or Google Play, free months may work differently or not be available.
• What your friends see. If you set a name for your invites, the people you invite see it (for example, “Kalei gave you 30 days free”). When you share a deal using your invite, the person you send it to can see that one deal in full.
• Fair play. Invite people you know who will use their own account. Inviting yourself, making extra accounts, paying for a friend's plan with your own card, or other ways of gaming the program don't earn rewards. We may review referrals that look unusual, and we may hold, refuse or take back a reward, or a friend's longer trial, if we believe these rules weren't followed or the friend's payment is refunded or disputed.
• Sharing publicly. If you share your invite publicly, such as on social media, say that you get a free month when people join.
• Changes. We may change or end the referral program at any time. A free month you've already earned (your friend's payment has cleared and the 14 days have passed) will still be applied.

Grocery deals come from the stores' published circulars, and other deals from each business's own website, social media or other public posts. Both are collected and organized partly by automated tools, including AI, and we recheck businesses' pages regularly, but mistakes happen. Prices, sizes, hours, terms, eligibility, availability and dates can be wrong, can change, or can differ by location. Items can sell out.

Always confirm with the store or business before you buy or go. Savings figures compare a deal's price with the regular price the store or business lists, where it lists one, and price-per-pound figures and totals are calculated by us; all of them are estimates, not a guarantee of what you'll pay or save. Amounts you record with “I used this deal” are your own estimates. Deal alerts are sent after we collect each day's deals, so a deal may have changed or ended by the time you read one. The store's or business's price and terms are the ones that count, and each business decides who qualifies for kama'aina, military, kupuna or keiki deals and what proof it needs. If you see something wrong, please use “Report a problem” or “Send feedback”.

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
• Give us a real email address and keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
• One account per person. Creating extra accounts to get more free trials or referral rewards isn't allowed, and we check for repeat free trials.
• Tell us at hello@brokedacart.com if you think someone else has used your account, or if you want it closed.

• Account emails, like confirming your sign-up or resetting your password, are part of having an account.
• Your list by email goes only to your account's own address, when you ask for it.
• Deal alerts are optional: you get them only for things you choose to follow (products, search words, kinds of deals, businesses, or new deals near your home area), as often as you choose (daily or weekly), by email or, in our apps, as notifications if you allow them. You can turn them off on your Account page, with the unsubscribe link in any alert email, or, for notifications, in your phone's settings.
• Trial emails. During a free trial we may email you when it starts, a few days before it ends, and when it ends. Each has an unsubscribe link.
• Billing and referral emails. If you subscribe or invite friends, we (or Stripe) email you about your plan, receipts and free months you earn.

Our iPhone and Android apps are part of Broke Da Cart, and these terms apply to them. Apple's and Google's own terms also apply to downloading and updating them.

• Notifications. If you allow them, the apps can send your deal alerts as notifications, instead of or as well as email. Choose how in Saved, under Following, or turn notifications off in your phone's settings.
• Location. “Near me” uses your phone's approximate location, only when you ask and while the app is open, to find deals near you. Our Privacy Policy explains how.
• Deleting your account can be done in the app, on its Account screen.
• If you got our app from Apple's App Store: these terms are between you and Broke Da Cart LLC, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for it. If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any (it's free to download); otherwise Apple has no warranty obligation for it. Apple isn't responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it doesn't meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection or privacy claims, or claims that it infringes someone's intellectual property; as between Apple and us, we are, to the extent these terms say so. You confirm that you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and aren't on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Please don't:

• copy or scrape the site or apps at scale, or resell their data, without our written permission;
• copy, change or take apart our apps, except as the law allows;
• try to break, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or other people's accounts;
• submit false, abusive or spam price reports;
• abuse free trials or the referral program (see “Referrals”);
• use the site for anything unlawful.

Your lists stay private to you. When you send a price report or other feedback, you allow us to use it to correct and improve the service, without owing you anything for it.

The Broke Da Cart name, logo, design and software, including our apps, belong to us. Deal information belongs to the stores and businesses that published it. You may use the site for your own personal use; that doesn't give you any other rights to our material.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don't promise it will always be up, error-free, or that its information is complete or correct, and, to the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Broke Da Cart LLC won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost savings, profits or data, arising from your use of the site, including from a price or deal that turned out to be wrong, a business that didn't honor a deal, or a deal alert that arrived late or not at all. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $100 or what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you in full.

You can stop using the site or apps, or delete your account on your Account page, in the app, or by asking us, at any time. Deleting your account cancels a plan bought on our website (without a refund for the rest of the period) and ends any free months you haven't used; a subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play has to be canceled there. We may suspend or end access if someone breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk, and we may change or retire features. Sections that should survive, like accuracy, liability and governing law, do.

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date above and, for meaningful changes, let you know on the site or by email. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Honolulu, Hawaii, and you agree to their jurisdiction.

How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.
