Terms of Use

By downloading or using biteful ("the app"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

What biteful is

biteful is a food scanning tool that uses AI and peer-reviewed research to provide informational verdicts about foods, ingredients, labels, and restaurant menus. It is designed to help you make more informed eating choices.

What biteful is not

biteful is not medical advice. The app does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Verdicts are based on publicly available research and should not replace professional medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical decisions.

AI-generated content

Scan results are generated by AI models (xAI Grok, Google Gemini) interpreting research literature. While we strive for accuracy and provide citations, AI can make mistakes. We encourage you to read the cited studies and use your own judgment.

Subscriptions and payments

• Free tier: 10 scans per calendar month, no payment required.
• Pro Monthly: $4.99/month, auto-renews until cancelled.
• Pro Lifetime: One-time purchase, permanent access.

Subscriptions are managed through Apple's App Store. You can cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings under Subscriptions. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods, but Apple's refund policy applies.

Your content

Photos you scan are sent to third-party AI providers for processing and are not stored by us. Scan results are stored locally on your device. You retain all rights to your content.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app
• Use the app to generate misleading health claims
• Resell or redistribute scan results commercially
• Attempt to circumvent subscription or usage limits

Intellectual property

The app, its design, code, and content are owned by biteful. The biteful name, logo, and associated marks are our property. Research citations link to publicly available studies and remain the property of their respective publishers.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, biteful and its developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the app. The app is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app evolves. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We'll post the updated date at the top of this page.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
