Terms of Use

The short version.

Tilo is free. Our totals are honest estimates, and the store's price at checkout is what counts. We never sell groceries, place orders or take payments.

Using Tilo

Tilo (gettilo.app, formerly cartIQ at getcartiq.app) helps you compare what a grocery list would cost at stores near you. By using the site you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Tilo.

Tilo is free. You don't need an account. You must be at least 13 to use it.

Prices and totals are estimates

Prices come from stores and other sources and can change at any time. Every price shows where it came from and when we checked it, and some are labelled as sample or estimated. Totals are before sales tax, and some fees aren't published by stores, so the amount you pay at checkout can be different.

The store's price at checkout is the price that counts. Savings we show are estimates based on the information we have, not a promise.

SNAP/EBT guidance is based on each item's type and USDA rules. The store decides at the register what SNAP can pay for.

We don't sell groceries

We never sell products, take orders or handle payments. When you shop, you buy from the store, under the store's own terms, prices and policies. Questions about an order, a refund or a product go to the store.

Store names belong to their owners. Tilo isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the stores we compare unless we say so.

Sending your basket to a store

If you use Send to my cart (Harris Teeter, Kroger and other Kroger-family stores), you log in on Kroger's own page and give Tilo permission to add items to your cart. That login is between you and Kroger, under Kroger's terms. We add the items once and don't keep the permission. Check your cart before you pay: items, sizes and quantities may need adjusting, especially items sold by weight.

Inviting friends

Invite levels (Member, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) are a thank-you for spreading the word. They don't come with cash, prizes or other rewards unless we announce them separately with their own rules. Please only invite people you know, and don't spam or post your link where it isn't welcome. We may reset levels that come from fake or automated sign-ups.

Fair use

Please don't:

  • scrape, copy or resell our data, or use bots to run comparisons in bulk;
  • try to break, overload or get around the security of the site;
  • upload anything unlawful, or images that aren't yours to share;
  • use Tilo to mislead anyone, for example by passing off our estimates as a store's official prices.

We may limit or block access to anyone who does.

Your lists and uploads

Your lists are yours. Saved lists stay on your device. When you share a list, anyone with the link can see it. Recipes and screenshots you add are used only to read the items, then discarded. You give us permission to process them for that purpose.

Emails

If you join the list, we'll email you about Tilo, such as when stores near you go live. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Our part

Tilo, its design and its software belong to us. We work hard to keep it accurate and running, but it's provided “as is”, without guarantees that it will always be available, error-free or complete. We may change or stop parts of it.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses that come from using Tilo, including a price or total that turns out to be different at the store. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be limited.

Changes

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we'll email everyone on the list first. Using Tilo after a change means you accept the new terms.
