AskZOE End User License
These Terms of Service give you important information about the AskZOE app (“our app” or “the app”) and explain the conditions on which we make it available to you.
Important: our app does not give medical advice or supply you with medical information. You should always talk to your physician or other health-care professional about any health problems you may be suffering. Please see our warnings section if you have any concerns about your health.
Warning: accuracy of identification
When you ask the app to score food, it must first look up the correct food in its database. This will not always be successful and sometimes AskZOE will miss-identify food and so give the wrong score.
For instance, if you scan "granola" it is important to check whether AskZOE has identified the specific brand and type of granola you had in mind such as whether the granola had added sugars or was sugar-free.
It is also the case that not all bar codes are unique, even within the same country. It is possible to have two different products at two different grocery stores with the same barcode.
Warning: accuracy of information and score
Our scores are based on a food database we maintain that contains nutritional information and other data about each food. This information is collected from a number of third party sources — some of them more reliable than others — but all of them outside our control, which means we cannot guarantee its accuracy. This, in turn, means our scoring may be wrong.
We have attempted to give an indication of our confidence in a score, representing our estimate of its reliability. We explain how this works in detail on a separate page. This represents our best guess as to the reliability of the information. We do not guarantee it will be right, and you should approach all such information with proper caution.
Important scores are not personalized
Our scores give a high level indication of the nutritional value of individual items of food in a balanced diet. What our app does not do is advise you on your diet as a whole, including the combination of food you eat or the pattern of your consumption. Nor is our app able to create scores that take into account your personal circumstances, instead we base our scores on the US population as a whole.
This means you should use your common sense in applying our scores to your choice of food. This is especially true if you know that you react to food in an atypical fashion.
Your license to use the app
We permit you to use the app - in legal terms we give you a “license” to use it - rather than selling it to you. Our license is non-contractual. We make no promises to you about the app, its function or your ability to use it; nor do you make any promises to us in return.
We may change the functionality or design of the app at any time; terminate your individual use of the app or withdraw the app from service at any time. We may also make the app unavailable for any periods of time that we choose.
Your user accounts or account
In order to use the latest version of AskZOE, you will need to have an account. If you are an existing ZOE customer, you may use your ZOE account to log in to AskZOE. You may also set up an AskZOE account and log in using it.
Limitation of liability
This application is made available “as is”. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, we disclaim any contractual obligations to you to do or not do anything relating to the app, including it operating as described or at all.
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances and under no legal theory (including, without limitation, tort, contract, strict liability, or otherwise) shall we or any of our affiliates, successors, independent contractors, service providers, consultants, licensors or suppliers, or any of their respective directors, employees or agents, be liable for any (a) indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages of any kind, including damages for lost profits, business interruption, loss of data, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction.
