Terms of Service

Last updated: July 12, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using KoveScan. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use KoveScan.

1. About KoveScan

KoveScan is an AI-powered food allergen and ingredient safety application operated by KoveScan ("we," "us," or "our"). The service helps users identify allergens and ingredients in food products by analyzing product labels using AI and official food safety data sources.

KoveScan is a decision-support tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. See Section 9 (Medical Disclaimer) for important safety information.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use KoveScan. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be responsible for your use of the service.

By using KoveScan, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

3. Your Account

To access most features of KoveScan, you must create an account. You are responsible for:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraud, or are used for illegal purposes.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

4.1 Free Plan

KoveScan offers a free plan with limited features. No payment is required for the free plan.

4.2 Premium Plan

KoveScan Premium is available as a monthly subscription ($4.99/month) or an annual subscription ($39.99/year). Premium plans unlock additional scans, advanced analysis features, and recall alerts.

4.3 Billing

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. All payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis.

4.4 Free Trial

We may offer a free trial period for Premium. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your payment method will be charged automatically.

4.5 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from the app's Settings screen. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access to Premium features until then.

We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at billing@kovescan.com within 14 days of the charge.

4.6 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

You agree to use KoveScan only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

6. Camera and Data Permissions

The core scanning feature of KoveScan requires access to your device camera and/or photo library. By granting these permissions, you authorize the app to capture and process images for ingredient analysis purposes. Images are processed for analysis and are not stored permanently without your explicit action to save a scan.

You can revoke camera and photo library access at any time through your device settings. Revoking access will disable the scanning feature.

7. Intellectual Property

KoveScan and its content, features, and functionality (including the app, website, branding, and underlying AI models) are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You retain ownership of any content you upload (such as photos of product labels). By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to process it solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.

8. Privacy

Our collection and use of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using KoveScan, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Medical Disclaimer

Important Safety Notice KoveScan is a decision-support tool only. It is NOT a medical device and does NOT provide medical advice or diagnosis. Ingredient information may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate. Product formulations can change without notice.

Always verify ingredients on the physical product label before consumption — especially for severe or life-threatening allergies. Always follow the guidance of your allergist or healthcare provider. Always carry your prescribed emergency medication (such as an epinephrine auto-injector). In a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

KoveScan does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any scan result, recall alert, or ingredient analysis. We are not liable for any injury, illness, or adverse reaction arising from reliance on KoveScan results.

10. Disclaimers

KoveScan is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including:

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, KoveScan and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, for any illegal activity, or if we determine that your use harms other users or the service. Upon termination, your right to use KoveScan ceases immediately.

You may delete your account at any time from Settings. Account deletion is subject to our data retention practices described in the Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the app at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of KoveScan after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of KoveScan shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except that either party may bring a claim in small claims court for disputes within the applicable jurisdictional limits.
