Terms of Use

Last updated: April 21, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Pic My Plate mobile application and website (together, the "Service"), operated by Pic My Plate ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

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

2. Your Account

  • You are responsible for the information you provide and for keeping your credentials secure.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. License to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use on a device that you own or control.

4. User Content

The Service lets you submit content, including photos of menus and dishes, comments, and profile information ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and display it as needed to operate, improve, and promote the Service — including using dish photos to improve our food database and image-matching accuracy.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit your User Content and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to post content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing.
  • Upload content that contains personal information of others without their consent.
  • Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the integrity or security of the Service.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except as permitted by law.
  • Use the Service to build a competing product or to scrape our data.

We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

The Service may offer optional paid subscriptions that unlock premium features ("Subscriptions"). The following terms apply to Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store:

  • Billing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
  • Auto-renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Renewal charge: Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price of the selected plan.
  • Managing your subscription: You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.
  • No partial refunds: No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period.
  • Free trials: If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you purchase a Subscription, where applicable.
  • Price changes: We may change Subscription prices from time to time. Any change will take effect at the next renewal, and we will provide notice where required by law.

Subscriptions purchased through the Google Play Store are governed by equivalent terms provided by Google at the time of purchase.

Refund requests for purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are handled by Apple or Google respectively, in accordance with their policies. We do not process refunds for store-based purchases directly.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on third-party services (for example, cloud hosting, image search APIs, or the app stores). We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of those third parties, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, logos, and content (other than User Content), is owned by Pic My Plate and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any such rights to you beyond the limited license above.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that menu scanning, dish matching, or other automated features will always be accurate.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pic My Plate and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.

12. Apple-Specific Terms

If you downloaded the Service from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply. In the event of a conflict with the rest of these Terms, the terms in this section control for the App Store version of the Service.

  • Agreement between you and us: These Terms are between you and Pic My Plate only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
  • Scope of license: The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Service on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • Maintenance and support: We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Service. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.
  • Warranty: We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the Service to you (if applicable). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service.
  • Product claims: We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Service or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • Intellectual property rights: In the event of any third-party claim that the Service or your use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  • Legal compliance: You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Third-party beneficiary: Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Pic My Plate operates, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply.
