Terms of Service

This agreement

By downloading or using PureCheck, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app. If you use PureCheck on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent where you live, to use PureCheck.

What PureCheck is

PureCheck reads publicly available information about packaged foods and public water systems and presents it as a single, consistent score with an explanation of the factors behind it. It helps you compare products and understand labels.

Not medical advice

PureCheck is an informational tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, nutritional, or health advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Scores describe the data available about a product, not its suitability for you. Always consult a qualified professional about your diet, allergies, medication, or health conditions, and never disregard professional advice because of something you read in the app.

If you have a food allergy or intolerance, read the physical product label. Ingredient data from public databases can be incomplete or out of date, and PureCheck must not be relied on to determine whether a product is safe for you to consume.

Accounts

Some features require an account, which you can create with Apple, Google when available, or email and password. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account and for keeping access to it secure. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Free beta access

PureCheck is free during its beta period. We may offer paid subscriptions after the beta, but we will show the price, included features, billing period, renewal terms, and how to cancel before asking you to subscribe. We will update these terms before paid plans launch. Joining the beta does not automatically enroll you in a future subscription.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, bulk-download, or resell the scores, data, or content in the app.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the scoring method, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
• Interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems.
• Use PureCheck to make claims about a product to the public that the app does not support.
• Use the app in any way that breaks applicable law.

Data accuracy

Product and water information comes from public sources including Open Food Facts, USDA FoodData Central, and EPA SDWIS. These sources are maintained by third parties and may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Scores reflect the data available at the time of the check and may change as sources are updated.

Water reports describe a public water system, based on the utility’s filings. They cannot measure the water inside an individual building, where plumbing — lead service lines in particular — can change what comes out of the tap.

The same product always receives the same score everywhere in the app. That consistency is a commitment about our own presentation; it is not a warranty about the underlying source data.

Intellectual property

The app, its scoring method, design, and the PureCheck name and logo belong to PureCheck. These terms grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app. Third-party data remains subject to its own licence — Open Food Facts data, for example, is published under the Open Database Licence.

Termination

You can stop using PureCheck at any time and delete your account from within the app. We may suspend or end access if you materially break these terms, or if we must do so for legal or security reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including liability, intellectual property, and governing law — continue to apply.

Disclaimers and liability

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any score is accurate or complete.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim or US $100, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and you may have statutory consumer rights that these terms do not affect.

App Store terms

Where you obtained PureCheck from the Apple App Store, the following applies in addition to everything above.

• This agreement is between you and PureCheck only, not with Apple. PureCheck, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Your licence to use the app is limited to a non-transferable licence to use it on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Support requests should go to our support page.
• If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• PureCheck, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• PureCheck, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that law gives you it.
