01Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. By using them, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

02Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and be responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@barliva.com of any unauthorised use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

03Licence to use the Services

Subject to these Terms, Barliva grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use. This licence does not allow you to resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Services without our prior written consent.

04Acceptable use

You agree not to:

05Health & dietary disclaimer

Important: Barliva provides informational content — including health scores, ingredient analyses, and allergen flags — for general educational purposes only. It is not medical, nutritional, or professional advice and is not a substitute for consulting a qualified healthcare provider. Product and allergen data may be incomplete or inaccurate. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or medical condition, always read the product's physical label and consult a professional before consuming any product. Do not rely solely on Barliva for decisions affecting your health.

06Your content

You retain ownership of any content you submit (such as product photos, corrections, or reviews). By submitting content, you grant Barliva a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, and display it for the purpose of operating and improving the Services. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this licence.

07Intellectual property

The Services — including software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the “Barliva” name — are owned by Barliva or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you, no rights are transferred.

08Third-party data & links

The Services incorporate data from third-party sources, including public food databases such as Open Food Facts, which may be licensed under open-data terms and provided “as is”. The Services may also link to third-party sites or app stores governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

09Availability & changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may also update these Terms; for material changes we'll update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

10Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) will survive.

11Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that product data will be complete or accurate.

12Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BARLIVA AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD 50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Barliva and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Services or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts located in Ontario, Canada will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, unless mandatory local law provides otherwise. Nothing here limits consumer-protection rights that cannot be waived under your local law.
