Terms of use

1. The app

Avoidly checks a product's ingredients against the avoid list you choose and shows each match with a reason and a source. Ingredients come from Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts, public databases whose entries can be incomplete or out of date, or from text read from a label photo, which can contain recognition errors. Results depend on that data and on the groups and custom ingredients you turn on.

2. License and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for lawful purposes on devices you own or control. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, bypass security or purchase controls, interfere with the service, or misuse the app except where applicable law expressly permits it.

3. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you create in the app, such as saved scans, names and custom ingredients, and are responsible for how you use it and for keeping any backups you need.

4. Product data

Product data from Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts is made available under the Open Database License by their contributors. We do not control or verify it.

5. Advertising and purchases

The app is free and shows advertising; scanning and reading results needs no purchase, and the free version keeps your latest 20 scans and 5 favorites. Pro is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that removes ads and unlocks unlimited history and favorites, custom ingredients and compare on devices signed in with the same Apple Account. Apple handles payment, restoration, and refund requests under its rules. The price shown by Apple before purchase controls.

6. Updates and availability

We may update, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue features to maintain security, compatibility, legal compliance, or product quality. We do not promise that the app will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device, accessory, service, or operating-system version.

7. Disclaimer

Avoidly is not medical, dietary or allergy advice and is not an allergy safety tool. A flag means an ingredient matched a group on your list, not that a product is safe or unsafe, and a result without flags does not mean a product is free of anything you avoid. Ingredient information can be incomplete or out of date; always read the label, and ask a doctor or dietitian about your health.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the app is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, opportunities, or business interruption arising from use of or inability to use the app. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

9. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time. We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to address unlawful use, security risks, nonpayment, abuse, or material violations of these terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination remain effective.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without limiting mandatory consumer rights or the law that must apply in your country or region.
