Terms of Service & User Agreement

1. Technical Scope & Software Architecture

Labelled (the "App", "we", "us", or "our") provides a mobile software interface designed to convert barcode scans into digital database queries. The App functions solely as a pass-through data visualization tool that retrieves raw product records from external Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), third-party manufacturers, public registries, and independent digital databases (collectively, "Third-Party Data Providers").

Our technical involvement is limited strictly to retrieving raw data payloads from these external endpoints and rendering that information within an organized, user-friendly graphical interface. Labelled does not author, originate, verify, audit, or physically inspect any product, ingredient list, processing environment, or dietary designation displayed within the App.

2. Explicit Disclaimer of Dietary, Nutritional, & Professional Advice

No Professional Credentials or Expertise: The operators, software developers, and creators of Labelled are not registered dietitians, nutritionists, medical professionals, or food science experts. We do not possess, claim, or represent any professional knowledge, qualifications, or specialized expertise regarding human nutrition, dietary management, or health science.

No Medical or Dietary Guidance: Nothing contained within the App—including scan results, ingredient displays, visual summaries, or software classifications—constitutes medical, dietary, nutritional, health, or lifestyle advice.

Consultation with Qualified Professionals: The App is not designed to diagnose, treat, prevent, or manage any health condition, medical need, or strict dietary regimen. You should always consult a licensed healthcare professional, qualified dietitian, or medical doctor for advice regarding your specific nutritional needs, dietary restrictions, or health goals.

3. Data Interpretation & Display Formatting

Third-Party Data Origin: All ingredient records, product names, manufacturing details, and dietary classifications (including labels such as "Vegetarian", "Vegan", or similar descriptions) originate directly from Third-Party Data Providers.

Visual Summaries: Graphical elements, color codes, dietary badges, and visual tags generated by the App are designed solely to make raw third-party text easier to read on digital displays. These visual design elements reflect automated matches against external database fields and do not constitute an independent assessment, certification, laboratory analysis, or endorsement by Labelled.

Database Updates & Formulations: Product recipes, manufacturing protocols, and packaging descriptions change regularly across consumer retail markets. Information retrieved through external APIs may be incomplete, delayed, or subject to third-party data entry discrepancies.

4. User Allocation of Responsibility & Packaging Verification

By using Labelled, you acknowledge that automated barcode queries are supplementary tools intended to assist personal product research, not definitive declarations or dietary recommendations.

You agree that you retain sole responsibility for evaluating what you purchase, handle, or consume. Because physical product formulations and manufacturing facilities change without advance notice to third-party software developers, you agree that reading and inspecting the physical product packaging, printed ingredient list, and manufacturer labels on the actual product item remains your primary duty prior to any purchase or consumption decision.

5. Service Availability & Operational Terms

Labelled is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we aim to maintain a responsive user interface, we do not promise that the software will operate continuously, without interruption, or free from server delays, barcode reading errors, or external API connectivity issues. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, we disclaim all statutory and implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, software security, and non-infringement.

6. Limitation of Liability & Remedies

Your use of Labelled is conducted at your own voluntary discretion. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable legal frameworks worldwide, Labelled, its founders, operators, software engineers, affiliates, and service providers maintain zero liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential outcomes—including personal dissatisfaction, dietary discrepancies, or reliance on third-party database records—arising from your interaction with the App.

In any jurisdiction where mandatory consumer legislation limits the complete exclusion of statutory remedies, our combined aggregate responsibility across all potential claims shall be strictly restricted to the minimal remedy mandated by applicable local law, or the actual subscription fees directly paid by you to access the App over the preceding twelve months, whichever amount is less.

7. Global Jurisdictional Harmony & Statutory Alignment

Labelled is accessible to users across diverse international states, regions, and jurisdictions. Every provision, waiver, and condition within this agreement is intended to apply to the maximum extent permitted by the governing laws of the jurisdiction in which the App is accessed.

If any specific clause within this agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid under specific local consumer protection statutes, that provision shall be adjusted or severed strictly to the minimal extent necessary to comply with that local law. All remaining sections shall continue in full, independent legal force and effect.

8. User Indemnification & Defence

You agree to support, hold harmless, and indemnify Labelled, its operators, software developers, and partners from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, operational losses, or legal costs resulting from your misuse of the application, your failure to review physical product packaging, or any material breach of these Terms of Service.

9. Resolution of Disputes & Class Action Waiver

To ensure fair and efficient resolution of any operational concerns, you agree that any dispute or claim relating to your use of Labelled shall be addressed on an individual basis. To the maximum extent permitted under local legislation, you explicitly waive any right to initiate, join, or participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class action lawsuit, representative legal proceeding, or consolidated arbitration against Labelled or its operators.
