Terms of Service

Effective date: July 11, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Melon Picker mobile application (the “App”) operated by JUGS LLC, doing business as Melon Picker (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

Melon Picker analyzes the sound of tapping on a watermelon, on your device, and returns plain-language guidance to help you choose between melons — verdicts such as “Good Candidate” or “Compare Another,” risk warnings, and, on supported melon types, a relative sweetness indication. The App does not produce numeric quality scores, gradings, or certifications.

2. Guidance, Not Guarantees

The App’s verdicts are informational guidance only. They are acoustic estimates and depend on melon variety, size, surface, environment, and tapping technique. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any verdict, warning, or indication the App provides, and actual fruit quality may differ from the App’s assessment.

The App does not and cannot detect spoilage, contamination, allergens, pesticides, or any food-safety condition. Always inspect food yourself and use your own judgment before purchasing or eating it. You are solely responsible for your food selection and consumption decisions.

3. Account Registration

You can sign in using Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In (iOS), or email registration to keep your account settings in sync across devices. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials, and you agree to provide accurate information when creating your account.

4. Purchase Required; One-Time Unlock

The App is free to download, but using its testing features requires a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 (USD, or the equivalent price shown in your local store; subject to change). There are no free testing sessions included. We may, at our sole discretion, offer promotional or trial access from time to time; any such offer does not create an ongoing entitlement.

The unlock is a one-time, non-recurring purchase — no subscription and no ads. “Lifetime” access refers to the supported lifetime of the App, not the lifetime of the purchaser.

5. Purchases and Refunds

All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. By making a purchase, you agree to the respective store’s terms and conditions. Refunds are governed exclusively by the policies of the store you purchased through:

  • iOS: Refunds are handled by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
  • Android: Refunds are handled by Google. To request a refund, visit your Google Play order history.

We do not process payments directly, we cannot issue refunds outside the store platforms, and we make no refund promises beyond the stores’ own policies.

6. Microphone Access

The App requires microphone access to analyze tap sounds. Audio is processed on your device in real time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted. You may revoke microphone access at any time through your device settings, but the App’s testing features will not function without it. See our Privacy Policy for details.

7. Push Notifications

The App may send push notifications, such as reminders to re-test a saved melon at home. You can enable or disable notifications at any time in the App’s Profile screen or in your device settings.

8. User Content

You may rate your saved picks and submit support messages. You retain ownership of any content you create. By submitting a support message, you grant us permission to read it, store it, and respond to it.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or its analysis models
  • Attempt to access other users’ data or accounts
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Interfere with or disrupt the App’s servers or infrastructure
  • Circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, the App’s purchase requirement

10. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, graphics, analysis models, and content, is owned by JUGS LLC and is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the App without our written consent.

11. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from the Profile screen in the App, or by following the steps at melonpicker.com/delete-account/. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, cloud-stored data, and support messages. This action cannot be undone. Deleting your account does not entitle you to a refund of the one-time unlock.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

  • The App’s assessments of any melon will be accurate
  • The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
  • Any defects will be corrected

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUGS LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP — INCLUDING ANY PURCHASING DECISION MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE APP’S GUIDANCE.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App’s one-time unlock.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JUGS LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.

15. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top will always reflect the latest version, and we will notify you of significant changes through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
