Terms of Use

Effective [[OWNER: date]] · Version 1

1. These terms

These terms apply to the Food Marshal Android app and this website, operated by [[OWNER: full legal name]] (“Food Marshal”, “we”). [[COUNSEL: how the terms are accepted]]

2. The service

Food Marshal reads the ingredients and nutrition panels you photograph and reports what the label declares alongside what regulators and scientific bodies have published, with citations. It is an information service about labels, not medical, nutritional or allergy advice, and not a measure of safety.

3. Your account

[[COMPLIANCE: revised Terms account paragraph]]

4. Your data

How the app handles information is set out in the Privacy Policy (/privacy).

5. Reading errors and sources

Reading errors are possible. Always check the pack. The score uses Indian regulation (FSSAI) and the published findings and decisions of WHO (including IARC and JECFA), ICMR-NIN, EFSA and the European Union, and the US FDA, each shown with its source.

The score follows fixed, published rules: the same label text always gets the same result. The app shows a reason for every green, yellow and red it gives, and a cited source for every red.

6. Using results

Read the physical pack before relying on a result, above all if you have an allergy. You may share a result with the app’s share card. Do not alter a card, or present as a Food Marshal result anything the app did not produce.

7. The app and its content

[[COUNSEL: ownership of the app, its design and text; the licence to use the app; restrictions]]

8. Other services

The app is distributed through Google Play and reads labels with Google ML Kit. Google’s own terms apply to those services.

9. Responsibility

[[COUNSEL: warranty and liability clauses. Compliance reads the counsel text before it ships; the website word bans apply to it.]]

10. Ending

You can stop using Food Marshal at any time and delete your account from Settings. [[COUNSEL: whether and how Food Marshal may suspend or end the service]]

11. Changes

[[COUNSEL: how changes to these terms are made and notified]]

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. [[OWNER/COUNSEL: the courts with jurisdiction]]

13. Contact

[[OWNER: email and postal address]]
