Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the LabelCop app and website (the "Service"), operated by [LEGAL NAME / "LabelCop"]. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Licence to use
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
2. Informational purpose only — not medical advice
LabelCop provides general information to help you understand food labels. It is not medical, nutritional, or dietary advice, and it is not a substitute for professional guidance. Scores and flags reflect our editorial scoring approach, not a diagnosis or a personalised recommendation. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding allergies, medical conditions, or dietary decisions. Do not rely on LabelCop alone for decisions that affect your health, and always check the actual product packaging — especially for allergens.
3. Accuracy of information
LabelCop reads printed labels using automated text recognition and applies an automated scoring model. This process can contain errors: text may be misread, labels may be out of date, and our scoring reflects judgement calls about which ingredients and nutrients to penalise. We do not warrant that any score, ingredient analysis, or piece of information is complete, current, or accurate. The product's own packaging always takes precedence over anything shown in the app.
4. Acceptable use
- Do not misuse, reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to disrupt the Service.
- Do not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms.
5. Third-party products and brands
Product names and brands shown in the Service belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them, or by us. Our analysis is independent and is not influenced by any brand.
6. Intellectual property
The Service, including its scoring model, content, design, and branding, is owned by [LEGAL NAME / "LabelCop"] and protected by applicable laws. You may not copy or reuse it without our permission.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, [LEGAL NAME / "LabelCop"] will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.
9. Changes
We may update the Service or these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR JURISDICTION — e.g. England and Wales, or India], and disputes are subject to the courts of that jurisdiction.
