By downloading, installing, or using SafePlate (the “App”), you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and to the SafePlate Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. The App is published by Finn Digital LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Finn Digital,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
SafePlate is an informational tool that lets you store allergen profiles for one or more family members, scan product barcodes and food photographs, read ingredient text from public product databases or images, highlight ingredients that match the allergen profile you have configured, and display localized allergy cards. With a paid SafePlate PRO subscription it adds analytics, recall alerts based on the public OpenFDA dataset, and similar convenience features.
SafePlate is not, and does not hold itself out as: (a) a medical device, in vitro diagnostic, or clinical decision-support tool; (b) a substitute for reading the manufacturer’s label, asking a restaurant about its preparation methods, or consulting a qualified medical professional, allergist, or dietitian; (c) a guarantee that a product is safe to consume; (d) an emergency-response service; (e) a HIPAA-covered entity or business associate; (f) a service intended for unsupervised use by children under 13; or (g) a food-handling, food-hygiene, or food-temperature verification service.
SafePlate reads ingredient text only. Notwithstanding the App Store name “SafePlate: Food Safety Scanner,” the App does NOT inspect, measure, verify, or certify: cooking temperature; internal doneness; minimum-safe-internal-temperature compliance; cross-contamination during preparation, transport, or storage; refrigeration history; expiration dates; pathogen presence (including Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, norovirus, or any other microorganism); chemical contamination; or any other food-handling factor. Cooking-temperature reminders or hygiene tips that appear in the App are general consumer-education content drawn from public USDA / FDA guidance and are not a substitute for using a calibrated food thermometer or following safe food-handling practice. You, and not Finn Digital, are solely responsible for cooking food to a safe internal temperature, practicing safe food-handling, and verifying freshness.
Allergen highlighting is generated by matching ingredient text against the allergen list you have configured, plus a list of common synonyms. The result depends on factors outside our control, including: photo quality and lighting; legibility and completeness of the printed label; accuracy and freshness of third-party product databases (including OpenFoodFacts and OpenFDA); regional ingredient differences; unannounced reformulations; cross-contamination not disclosed on the label; and translations of allergy cards. You acknowledge that SafePlate may miss an allergen that is in fact present, or flag an allergen that is in fact absent.
By using SafePlate you knowingly and voluntarily assume the risk that the App’s output is incomplete or incorrect, that any cooking-temperature or hygiene reminder is generic guidance rather than a measurement of your specific food, and that food-borne illness can result from undercooking, cross-contamination, spoilage, or other food-handling factors the App cannot detect. You agree that you, and not Finn Digital, are solely responsible for: verifying every ingredient via the manufacturer’s allergen statement before serving food to a person with a food allergy; cooking meat, poultry, fish, and eggs to a safe internal temperature using a calibrated thermometer; refrigerating perishable food at or below 40°F (4°C) and discarding food left in the “temperature danger zone” (40–140°F / 4–60°C) for more than two hours; obtaining, storing, and using any prescribed epinephrine auto-injector or other medication; and seeking emergency care if a reaction or illness occurs.
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR FREEDOM FROM ERRORS OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. FINN DIGITAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL DETECT ANY OR ALL ALLERGENS, THAT INGREDIENT DATA WILL BE CURRENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES; THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL FINN DIGITAL, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR PERSONAL INJURY (INCLUDING ALLERGIC REACTION OR DEATH), HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP, EVEN IF FINN DIGITAL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
FINN DIGITAL’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO FINN DIGITAL FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES; THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Finn Digital and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your reliance on the App’s output for a food-related decision; or (d) any content or data you submit, including profiles you create for other family members.
SafePlate PRO is an auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID. The free trial period converts to a paid period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Cancel any time at iPhone Settings › Subscriptions. The Lifetime tier (where offered) is a one-time, non-recurring purchase. All payments are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms; Finn Digital does not receive your card or Apple ID credentials.
Product brand names, logos, and ingredient labels shown in the App are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used for accurate identification only. SafePlate is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any food brand, restaurant, manufacturer, or regulator.
SafePlate is not directed at children under 13 and is not designed for unsupervised use by children. Parents and guardians may create profiles for children in the App at their own discretion; profile data is stored under the parent or guardian’s account.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration clause below, the state and federal courts located in Alachua County, Florida shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action not subject to arbitration. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except for claims that may be brought in small-claims court, you and Finn Digital agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Alachua County, Florida (or by video conference at your request). The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.
YOU AND FINN DIGITAL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 12 is null and void.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your full name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that we determine in good faith to be harmful to other users, third parties, or our service. Sections 3 through 12, 14, and 15 survive termination.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any in-App disclosures, constitute the entire agreement between you and Finn Digital regarding the App. We may update these Terms; material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date and (where practical) announced in-App. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
