Terms of Use

Label Snob is an opinionated AI ingredient scanner made by Meria. It tells you what we think about a product's ingredients. It is not medical advice, it cannot guarantee allergen accuracy, and we won't be liable if a verdict is wrong. By using the app you agree to these terms.

By downloading, installing, or using Label Snob (the “App”) you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have a parent or legal guardian's permission. Subscription purchases are governed by Apple's Media Services Terms.

Subject to these Terms, Meria grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, sublicense, sell, or otherwise exploit the App except as permitted by Apple's standard EULA or applicable law.

Some features of Label Snob require a subscription or one-time purchase. As of the effective date, we offer:

• Label Snob Pro Monthly — auto-renewing monthly subscription.
• Label Snob Pro Annual — auto-renewing annual subscription.
• Label Snob Lifetime — one-time, non-recurring purchase.

Auto-renewing subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each period at the then-current price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged within 24 hours prior to the end of each period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings; deleting the App does not cancel the subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Label Snob Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no recurring charges.

All prices are listed in your local currency by the App Store and may change at any time. We do not control App Store pricing. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under their refund policy; please contact Apple Support for refund requests.

You agree not to:

• Use the App to upload images that are unlawful, abusive, or infringe on others' rights.
• Probe, scan, or attempt to overwhelm our analysis service or any third-party service we use.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our prompts, models, or proprietary scoring logic.
• Use the App or its output to develop a competing product.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the App or its output without our written permission.

Label Snob uses third-party artificial intelligence services (currently Anthropic's Claude API) to analyze label photos. The output is an opinionated assessment generated by an AI model. We do our best to keep the model accurate, but:

• The model can misread blurry or partially obscured labels.
• The model can occasionally make mistakes about specific ingredients or quantities.
• The model's opinions reflect ingredient-quality assessment norms, not medical or nutritional consensus.

Always verify the actual label on the package, especially for allergens. Do not rely on Label Snob's output for life-safety decisions.

Label Snob is not a medical device, not a substitute for professional advice, and not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. The App provides ingredient-quality assessment opinions for informational purposes only. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or relevant specialist for medical, nutritional, or dietary decisions, including any decisions related to allergies, intolerances, pregnancy, chronic conditions, or medications.

Label Snob may flag allergens visible on a label, but it cannot guarantee that a product is free of any specific allergen. Manufacturers change formulations, label printing can have errors, and our AI can miss things. If you have a severe allergy or anaphylactic risk, always read the actual product packaging and contact the manufacturer.

If you submit photos, reports, votes, or other content to Label Snob (for example, by reporting an incorrect verdict), you grant Meria a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, store, and display that content for the purpose of operating and improving the App. You retain ownership of your content. We may remove user-submitted content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the App, including all associated intellectual property rights, are owned by Meria or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use Meria trademarks, logos, or trade dress without our prior written permission.

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. MERIA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MERIA AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY EVENT, MERIA'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50.

You agree to indemnify and hold Meria harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms, your use of the App in violation of applicable law, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 6, 7, 11, 12, and 13 — will survive.

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Meria, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms, the Apple terms govern with respect to your use of the App through the App Store. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party retains the right to seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property violations.

We may update these Terms as the App evolves. When we change anything material, we'll bump the effective date at the top and notify you in the App. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
