  • connect a Shopify or WooCommerce store to publish or modify products via API.

You agree to:

  • use the Service only for lawful, reasonable, and authorized purposes;

Stepio is designed to simplify e-commerce content creation and management. Our goal is to help users save time while respecting web best practices.

4. Shopify / WooCommerce API Connections

When connecting a store, the user explicitly selects the permissions granted (products, collections, blog posts, general analytics). The Service does not collect customers’ PII (names, emails, detailed orders). API keys and tokens are encrypted at rest and stored securely; they are deleted within 90 days after account deletion.

The user remains fully responsible for actions taken on their connected store via Stepio.

5. Scraping & AI-Generated Content

The tool extracts information publicly accessible on the internet. The user is solely responsible for verifying that data is public and lawfully accessible and for complying with third-party site terms.

AI-generated content is produced automatically from user instructions and may contain errors, biases, or inaccuracies. Users must review content prior to publication. AB Solutions LLC does not warrant accuracy, relevance, or legal compliance of generated content; users are solely responsible for what they publish.

The user warrants that extracted data contains no personal information. In case of non-compliance, AB Solutions LLC acts as a mere hosting provider and shall not be deemed responsible for processing such data.

Stepio may analyze aggregated and anonymized prompts and results to improve the Service, without any personal data.

AI-generated outputs are provided for assistance only. Stepio performs no automated decision-making producing legal effects on users.

6. Plans, Subscriptions & Credits

Access is available via a monthly, no-commitment subscription granting a number of credits, with the option to purchase one-off extra credits. Unused credits roll over while the subscription remains active.

Billing is handled by Stripe. Applicable VAT is automatically calculated by Stripe Tax based on user location. Prices are displayed TTC in EUR.

Right of Withdrawal (EU Consumers)

Under Directive 2011/83/EU, consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal from subscription. By accessing the digital service immediately, the user expressly consents to waive this right once execution has begun.

Refund Policy

Any withdrawal or refund request can be sent to contact@stepio.app. Refunds are handled according to the policy detailed at: https://stepio.app/refund.

The agreement is entered into for an indefinite term and ends upon subscription or account termination.

7. Termination & Account Deletion

Users may cancel their subscription at any time from their account area; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Upon account deletion: personal data is deleted or anonymized within 90 days; API keys are permanently deleted; accounts inactive for more than 24 months may be removed after prior notice.

Before deletion, users may request a copy of their data (generated content, settings, etc.) by emailing contact@stepio.app. Certain technical data, logs, or billing information may be retained temporarily for legal or security reasons. Logs are anonymized and kept for a maximum of 12 months.

8. Liability

Service Level: AB Solutions LLC endeavors to provide 99% uptime, excluding planned maintenance; uninterrupted or error-free operation is not guaranteed.

AB Solutions LLC shall not be liable for: temporary outages; data loss attributable to the user; unlawful or abusive use; indirect damages (e.g., lost revenue, reputation); or unavailability caused by third-party providers (OpenAI, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Cloudinary, Cloudflare, etc.).

The Service is provided “as is”, without warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. AB Solutions LLC does not guarantee any commercial results, search rankings, or sales increases.

Total liability of AB Solutions LLC, for any and all claims, is limited to the total amount paid by the user in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

9. Intellectual Property

All elements of the Service (interface, code, database, design, logo, trademark) are protected by copyright and related laws. Any reproduction, adaptation, or distribution without authorization is prohibited.

AI-generated content belongs to the user, subject to third-party rights compliance. Use of the Service grants no exclusivity; AB Solutions LLC may partner or integrate with other parties at its sole discretion.

10. Personal Data
