These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and BeeRoot ("BeeRoot," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the BeeRoot mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, registering for, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
BeeRoot provides tools to photograph food labels, packaging, or prepared food and receive AI-assisted ingredient analysis personalized to safety profiles you configure (including allergies and dietary restrictions). Results are presented as Safe, Caution, or Avoid.
The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial use unless we authorize otherwise in writing. Features may change over time, including during beta or early-access periods.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to create an account.
- If you are under 18, you should use the Service with a parent or legal guardian.
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
- You are responsible for all activity under your account and for safeguarding credentials.
- You may sign in using email/password or Google Sign-In, as made available in the app.
We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk, or are used fraudulently or abusively.
3. No medical advice
BeeRoot is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Service provides general informational guidance only.
Nothing in the Service — including ratings, summaries, ingredient lists, rationales, or alerts — replaces professional medical judgment. For allergies, medical conditions, pregnancy, pediatric nutrition, or any health concern, consult a qualified healthcare provider before relying on BeeRoot or changing diet.
In-app guidance applies: "AI-assisted analysis. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider before changing your diet."
4. Your responsibilities
You agree that you will:
- Maintain accurate profile, allergy, and restriction information
- Independently verify ingredient lists, allergen declarations, and certification marks on physical packaging before consuming food
- Confirm which safety profile is active before scanning
- Use your own judgment before eating, purchasing, or serving food to others
- Use the Service in compliance with applicable laws
You are solely responsible for outcomes arising from your use of the Service, including use on behalf of children, pregnant individuals, or people with severe allergies.
5. AI and analysis limitations
The Service uses automated systems, including AI models and rule-based checks. You acknowledge and agree that:
- Image recognition may fail due to blur, glare, low light, partial labels, or language/format issues
- Raw or unpackaged foods may lack reliable ingredient information
- Product formulations and labels change without notice
- AI and automated matching may produce false positives or false negatives
- Confidence levels vary and no automated system is foolproof
- Server-side checks depend on the accuracy of profile data you provide
BeeRoot's safety logic is designed to escalate to more cautious outcomes when uncertainty or potential matches exist, but we do not guarantee detection of every allergen or restricted ingredient, nor the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any result.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purposes
- Attempt to bypass security, authentication, rate limits, or access controls
- Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or extract source code or models except as permitted by law
- Upload malicious code or content, or interfere with Service operation
- Misrepresent identity or impersonate others
- Use the Service to provide medical, emergency, or professional advisory services to third parties without proper qualifications and authorization
We may investigate violations and cooperate with law enforcement where required.
7. Your content
You retain ownership of photos and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant BeeRoot a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, and display User Content solely as necessary to operate and improve the Service, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
You represent that you have the rights needed to submit User Content and that your content does not violate law or third-party rights.
8. Subscriptions and billing
BeeRoot may offer free trials, paid subscriptions, or premium features through Google Play Billing. If offered:
- Prices, billing intervals, and feature entitlements will be disclosed at purchase
- Payments, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Google Play and subject to Google Play terms and policies
- We may change plans, pricing, or features with notice where required by law or platform policy
If subscription features are not yet active in your version of the app, this section applies when those features become available.
9. Intellectual property
BeeRoot and its licensors own the Service, including software, branding, design, reference datasets, and website content, protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by law or with our prior written consent.
10. Third-party services
The Service integrates third-party services (including Google Firebase, Google Cloud, Google Sign-In, Google Play, and Google Gemini). Your use of those services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.
11. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT RESULTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BEEROOT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, BEEROOT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ILLNESS, INJURY, ALLERGIC REACTION, ADVERSE HEALTH OUTCOME, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON SERVICE OUTPUT, FAILURE TO READ PRODUCT LABELS, OR FAILURE TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE.
TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID BEEROOT FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
13. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BeeRoot and its affiliates from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created security or legal risk, or if we discontinue the Service.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will survive.

16. General provisions

- Force majeure: We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control.
