Foodle is a meal journal that provides general nutrition estimates. It is not medical diagnosis, treatment, a prescription, or professional nutrition advice. Please pay particular attention to Sections 4, 8, and 9.
1. Accepting these terms and their scope
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Ningbo Shell Technology Co., Ltd ("we," "us," or "our") concerning your download, installation, access to, or use of the Foodle application, websites, and related services. By downloading, installing, subscribing to, or continuing to use Foodle, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Foodle.
If you are not old enough to accept these terms independently where you live, a parent or legal guardian must read and accept them and supervise your use. Guardians should pay particular attention to the health and nutrition notices below.
2. Foodle service and accounts
Foodle features may include:
- Creating meal and life records from photos, imported images, or text;
- Using AI to recognize food and estimate portions, calories, and nutrients;
- Correcting, re-analyzing, saving, and reviewing records;
- Setting an energy target and, with permission, reading selected Apple Health data;
- Using Sign in with Apple for accounts, cloud sync, account deletion, and purchase restoration;
- Receiving the continuing benefits shown in the app through Foodle Plus.
Sign in with Apple is optional. You are responsible for protecting your Apple Account and device and must not transfer, sell, or permit misuse of your Foodle account. You may sign out or request permanent account deletion in the app. Signing out does not delete your cloud account. Data associated with a completed permanent deletion usually cannot be recovered.
3. Foodle Plus auto-renewable subscriptions
Plans and prices
Foodle Plus may offer monthly, annual, or other plans shown in the app. The exact product name, duration, local price, trial or offer (if any), and current benefits are shown by the App Store before you confirm a purchase.
Renewal and cancellation
Apple processes payment and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account subscription settings. Cancellation normally takes effect after the current paid period, subject to Apple's billing rules.
Restore and manage
You may restore purchases in Foodle and view, change, or cancel a plan in the system or App Store subscription settings. We do not receive your card or payment-method details.
Benefit changes
We may adjust future plans or benefits but will not remove service you are legally entitled to during a paid period. Apple handles notices and consent for billing changes.
Apple's rules for your Apple Account region govern payment, refunds, Family Sharing, price consent, and billing. Use Apple's refund channel to request a refund.
4. AI recognition, nutrition, and health notice
Food names, portions, weights, calories, nutrients, meal guidance, and energy targets in Foodle may be automated estimates. They can be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable because of lighting, camera angle, containers, occlusion, recipes, brands, cooking methods, model limitations, or insufficient input. Check results yourself. Prefer a package label for packaged food and suitable measuring equipment when exact weight matters.
Foodle is not a medical device and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, allergen detection, or personalized clinical nutrition advice. Do not rely on Foodle to determine whether food contains an allergen or to manage diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, eating disorders, pregnancy nutrition, or other conditions requiring professional care. Consult a physician or registered dietitian for health decisions.
Apple Health features run only with your permission. See the Foodle Privacy Policy for how related data is handled.
5. Your content and data
You retain applicable rights in photos, text, and records that you lawfully own. To provide recognition, storage, sync, support, and security that you request, you grant us a non-exclusive license limited to what is necessary for us and our service providers to process that content. It lasts only as needed to provide the service and is limited by our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Using ordinary recognition or cloud sync does not by itself give us permission to use your meal images to train models. If Foodle offers an explicit recognition-improvement contribution option, images are handled for that purpose only after you choose it, as described in the app. You may stop future contributions. Do not upload other people, identity documents, medical records, or sensitive content you are not entitled to process.
6. Lawful and acceptable use
You agree to use Foodle lawfully and must not:
- Upload unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, hateful, sexual, or privacy-invasive content;
- Impersonate another person or access accounts, systems, interfaces, or data without authorization;
- Bypass allowances, subscriptions, authentication, security, or access controls;
- Disrupt the service, transmit malicious code, scrape it, automate abuse, or make excessive requests;
- Copy, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works except where applicable law permits;
- Use Foodle or its output for medical decisions, emergency response, unlawful activity, or harm.
7. Intellectual property and third-party services
Foodle software, brands, interfaces, designs, text, graphics, and related technology are owned by us or the relevant rights holders. Except for the limited right to use Foodle granted by the Apple Standard EULA and these terms, all rights are reserved.
Foodle relies on Apple, cloud storage, hosting, and AI service providers. Third-party services may have their own terms and may be temporarily unavailable because of region, network, maintenance, or policy changes. See our Privacy Policy for how data is handled with service providers.
8. Service changes, disclaimers, and limitation of liability
We continuously improve Foodle and may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features for security, compliance, performance, or product reasons. We will take reasonable steps to notify users of significant changes that affect existing rights.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Foodle is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise uninterrupted service or that AI output or third-party data will always be accurate, complete, or fit for a particular purpose. You are responsible for checking and deciding how to use Foodle output.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss. These terms do not exclude consumer rights, liability for personal injury, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
9. Suspension, termination, and account deletion
We may proportionately restrict or end access if you seriously violate these terms, threaten the service or another person's safety, or if law requires us to act. You may stop using Foodle at any time. To stop auto-renewal, you must also cancel the subscription in Apple's subscription settings. Deleting Foodle, signing out, or deleting a Foodle account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription.
10. Changes to these terms and governing law
We may update these terms when law, the product, or our services change and will show the new publication and effective dates here. We will use reasonable notice for changes that materially disadvantage your rights. Continuing to use Foodle after updated terms take effect means you accept them. If you disagree, stop using Foodle and cancel your subscription or delete your account as appropriate.
These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties should first try to resolve disputes amicably; unresolved disputes may be brought before a competent court where Ningbo Shell Technology Co., Ltd is domiciled. Mandatory consumer protections where you live are not excluded.
11. Apple Standard EULA
Foodle obtained through the Apple App Store is licensed, not sold. In addition to these terms, your license to the iOS/iPadOS app is governed by the Apple Standard End User License Agreement. If these terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA on the license to use the app, the Apple Standard EULA controls. These terms continue to apply to Foodle services, accounts, and subscriptions.
