THE SERVICE AND THE APP

FoodFacts provides information about food products by compiling and analyzing information about, among other things, origin, certifications, nutritional values, and ingredients from third-party sources (the "Service"). The service is provided via our mobile application ("App"), which allows the user to scan the barcode on a food product and see the product information in an easily accessible and user-friendly way, with the ability to save product favorites and make certain personal settings.

Everyone who uses the Service is described in these Terms of Use as "Users", which also includes you who accept these Terms of Use.

The purpose of the App and the Service is to facilitate sustainable, healthy and fact-based food consumption by increasing the User's understanding of food properties, such as certifications, environmental impact, nutritional values, origin, and ingredients, and provide the opportunity to discover new foods. The App and the Service may only be used for private use and in accordance with applicable law.

The service may from time to time be subject to maintenance and therefore become unavailable.
