Terms of Use

Last updated: 18 April 2026

Welcome to ScanBite. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the team doing business as ScanBite (“ScanBite,” “we,” “us”) and govern your access to and use of the ScanBite iOS application (the “App”) and the websites we operate, including calorweb.meteerdal.workers.dev (together, the “Service”). Please read them carefully.

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use ScanBite

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) to use ScanBite. If you are under the age of legal majority in your place of residence, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to accept these Terms and to use the Service.

ScanBite is intended for personal, non-commercial use by adults making informed choices about nutrition and wellness. ScanBite is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

2. Your licence to use ScanBite

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download, install, and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use and in accordance with these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions that govern the App Store.

This licence does not permit you to:

• copy, modify, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the limited extent that applicable law permits notwithstanding this restriction;
• distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, or sell the App or any portion of it;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
• use the App to build a competing product, or to train a machine-learning model;
• use the App for any unlawful, deceptive, or harmful purpose.

3. Subscriptions, trials, and billing

3.1 Paid subscription

ScanBite is offered as a paid subscription with a short free trial. When you start a subscription, you authorize Apple to charge the payment method on file with your Apple ID the applicable subscription fee, plus any taxes, on a recurring basis until you cancel. Current prices are shown inside the App at the time of purchase.

3.2 Free trial

New subscribers may be offered a free trial period (currently three days). If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your paid subscription will automatically begin at the end of the trial and you will be charged the subscription fee. Trials are available once per Apple ID and are anti-abuse protected through Apple’s DeviceCheck framework.

3.3 Automatic renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Pricing for the next period will match the pricing displayed at the time of your most recent renewal unless we notify you of a change in advance. Taxes may vary by jurisdiction.

3.4 Cancellation

You may cancel at any time from your iPhone: Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → ScanBite → Cancel Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until that date.

3.5 Refunds

Apple processes refunds for App Store purchases at its sole discretion. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. We are not able to issue refunds on Apple’s behalf. Where mandatory consumer-protection law grants you a right of withdrawal, that law controls regardless of anything in these Terms.

4. Your content

ScanBite allows you to submit photos, audio, barcodes, text, and other content (“User Content”) so that our AI features can identify what you are eating and return nutritional information. You retain all rights in your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that it does not violate any law or third-party right. Do not submit content that is illegal, defamatory, or that infringes another person’s privacy or intellectual-property rights.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service to harass, harm, or defraud any person;
• attempt to bypass usage limits, authentication, or App Attest verification;
• use automated tools to access or extract data from the Service;
• interfere with the security, availability, or integrity of the Service;
• send malicious code or attempt to probe for vulnerabilities without authorization;
• scrape, duplicate, or resell output of the Service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for anyone who violates this Section.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including the App’s design, source code, branding, photography, mascot, and written copy, is owned by ScanBite or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the licence in Section 2, no right or licence is granted to you. “ScanBite” and the ScanBite logo are trademarks of their respective owners; you may not use them without our prior written permission.

7. Third-party services

The Service depends on and integrates with third-party services, including Apple, Cloudflare, Google (Gemini API), and RevenueCat. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third parties.

8. Medical disclaimer

ScanBite provides general nutrition and wellness information. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical judgment. Do not rely on the Service to diagnose, prevent, or treat any condition. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, manage diabetes, take medication that interacts with food, or are recovering from an eating disorder, consult a qualified healthcare provider before changing your diet or activity level.

AI output can be inaccurate. Nutrition estimates produced by the Service are approximate and based on automated recognition. You should verify important values independently, especially for allergens and dietary restrictions.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that AI output will be accurate or complete.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall ScanBite, its affiliates, officers, employees, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us through the App Store for the Service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars (US$50).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ScanBite and its affiliates from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your User Content, or (c) your breach of these Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, that your use presents a security or legal risk, or that we must do so to comply with law. Sections intended to survive termination (including Sections 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14) will continue to apply.

13. Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ScanBite, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. In the event the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the applicable purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, will have the right to enforce them against you.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service will be governed by the laws of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Türkiye will have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights you may have under the consumer-protection laws of your country of residence. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or the United Kingdom, this clause does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the App. If you continue to use the Service after changes become effective, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept the changes, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service and uninstall the App.

16. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms presented to you in the App, constitute the entire agreement between you and ScanBite regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
