Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using ShelfShock ("shelfshock.live"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. What ShelfShock Is

ShelfShock is a free, publicly accessible dashboard that displays live commodity prices and generates AI-powered analysis of how global events may affect consumer prices in your city. It is an informational tool, not a financial advisory service.

3. Not Financial Advice

Nothing on ShelfShock constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Commodity prices displayed are indicative and may be delayed. AI-generated analysis is for informational purposes only and should not be used as the basis for any financial decision. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

4. Data Accuracy

ShelfShock aggregates data from third-party sources including Yahoo Finance, financialdata.net, and others. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all data is correct, complete, or up-to-date. Prices may be delayed, and grocery impact estimates are based on historical models that may not reflect actual retail pricing in your area.

AI-generated analysis is produced by Anthropic's Claude and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. It should be treated as a starting point for your own research, not as fact.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Scrape, crawl, or systematically access the site via automated means beyond normal browser usage. Attempt to overload, disrupt, or interfere with the site's infrastructure. Misrepresent ShelfShock data as your own proprietary analysis. Use the site for any unlawful purpose.

6. Intellectual Property

The ShelfShock name, logo, design, and original content are the property of ShelfShock. Commodity data is sourced from third-party providers and is subject to their respective terms. AI-generated reports are produced on-demand and are not stored — you are free to use, share, or screenshot your own reports.

7. Limitation of Liability

ShelfShock is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from your use of the site, reliance on the data displayed, or any action taken based on AI-generated analysis.

8. Availability

We aim to keep ShelfShock available 24/7 but do not guarantee uptime. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, API provider outages, or other technical issues. Commodity data depends on market hours — prices may not update on weekends or public holidays.

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of ShelfShock after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia. Any disputes arising from your use of ShelfShock will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
