Terms of Use

1. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, DevAura grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use byta on any Apple-branded or Android device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the App Store's (or the relevant app marketplace's) usage rules. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by DevAura.

2. Not medical advice

3. Product data & accuracy

Product information shown in byta is sourced from third-party databases (including Open Food Facts) and from contributions submitted by users like you. This data can be incomplete, outdated, mislabeled, or wrong — packaging and formulations change, and community-submitted data isn't independently verified before it's used to help other users. When we don't have enough information to compute a reliable score, byta says so honestly (a "Not rated" state) rather than guessing.

Do not rely on byta as the sole basis for decisions involving severe allergies or medical dietary restrictions — always check the physical product label.

4. Your contributions

If you submit product photos, corrections, or other data through byta's contribute flow, you represent that you have the right to submit it, and you grant DevAura a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, host, reproduce, modify, and display that content to operate, provide, and improve byta and its underlying product database. You are not entitled to compensation for contributions.

5. Pre-orders & payment

Before byta's public launch, we may offer a Lifetime Membership pre-order for a one-time payment (currently $99), processed by Stripe. Full details on what this entitles you to, how it's granted once byta launches, and our refund terms are set out in our dedicated Pre-order & Refund Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

After launch, byta's ongoing subscription is billed and managed entirely through the Apple App Store — see Apple-specific terms below. Pre-order purchasers receive their Lifetime Membership entitlement on their account instead of an App Store subscription charge, per the Pre-order & Refund Policy.

6. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Scrape, bulk-extract, or resell byta's product or scoring data.
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent product contributions.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to byta's servers or infrastructure.
• Use byta for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulation.

7. Intellectual property

The byta name, logo, app design, and underlying software are the property of DevAura and are protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of that property to you.

8. Third-party services

byta relies on third-party services, including Open Food Facts (an open, collaborative product database, used under its data license) and Supabase (our backend provider). We aren't responsible for the accuracy, availability, or practices of third-party services we don't control.

9. Term & termination

These Terms apply from the moment you first use byta until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms. You may stop using byta, and delete it, at any time. See our data deletion page for removing data associated with your use of the App.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

byta is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of data. We do not warrant that byta will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that scores or product data will be complete or accurate.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DevAura will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or health-related outcomes, arising from your use of byta. DevAura's total aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of byta will not exceed the amount you paid to DevAura in the twelve months preceding the claim (or, if you have paid nothing, fifty US dollars ($50)). Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold DevAura harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the App.

13. Apple-specific terms

If you obtained byta from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that this Agreement is between you and DevAura only, not Apple, and Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.

• Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, for the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to DevAura, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where local consumer protection law requires otherwise.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as byta evolves. We'll update the "last updated" date above, and for material changes we'll provide more prominent notice in the app.
