Effective Date: May 3, 2026 Last Updated: August 21, 2026 Version: 11.3
Welcome to WildTruth. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the WildTruth mobile application (the "App"), the trueatzapp.com website, and any related services we provide (together, the "Service").
By creating an account, downloading the App, or using the Service in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms include important provisions affecting your legal rights, including a binding individual arbitration clause, class action waiver, and limitations of liability. Please read carefully.
WildTruth, operated by the app owner ("we," "us," "our," the "Company"), is a Florida-based operator of the Service. Contact: app@trueatzapp.com.
Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
WildTruth is a food-scanning App that scores packaged foods on a 0–100 scale based on ingredient analysis and nutrition data. The Service includes:
WildTruth is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. See Section 11 for the full health and safety disclaimer.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17, your parent or guardian must review and consent to these Terms on your behalf. We will not enforce contractual obligations against minors except as permitted by law.
By creating an account, you represent and warrant that:
To use most features, you create an account with an email and password. We require email verification before granting full access.
You are responsible for: - Keeping your password and account credentials secure and confidential - All activity that occurs under your account, including any unauthorized activity caused by your failure to maintain security - Notifying us immediately at app@trueatzapp.com if you suspect any unauthorized access, use, or compromise
We are not liable for any losses, charges, submissions, content, or other consequences arising from unauthorized access to your account where such access resulted from your failure to maintain reasonable account security or your sharing of credentials with others. This includes unauthorized in-app purchases.
You may choose a public display name and an anonymous username. You can change your username once per month.
We reserve the right to reclaim usernames that: - Impersonate other people, brands, or public figures - Contain hate speech, slurs, or harassment - Violate trademarks or are likely to cause confusion - Have been inactive for 12 or more consecutive months (no sign-in)
Don't create multiple accounts to game the points system, evade suspensions, or commit fraud. We may use behavioral signals, IP addresses, device fingerprints, and other technical means to detect duplicate, automated, or fraudulent accounts. We may suspend or terminate duplicate accounts at our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate Service to anyone for any lawful reason, including but not limited to abusive behavior, fraud, violation of these Terms, or to comply with legal obligations.
You agree NOT to:
A material breach of these Terms means any violation that exposes us to legal liability, harms other users, compromises security, undermines the integrity of the food database, or repeatedly violates the rules above after warning. We may suspend or terminate accounts for material breaches without further notice.
When you submit content (product info, photos, OCR-extracted text, reports, upvotes, etc.) to WildTruth:
You retain all rights you have in content you submit.
You grant WildTruth a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, copy, display, distribute, modify (only as necessary for formatting/display), and translate your submissions for the purpose of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Service and its food database.
This license is necessary because the Service is built around a shared community database. After account deletion, your submissions are pseudonymized as described in our Privacy Policy and may continue to be displayed in this manner.
This license does not include the right to sell your individual content to third parties for their independent commercial use, except as part of providing the Service.
If you don't want something to be public and reusable, do not submit it.
You are responsible for ensuring your submissions are: - Accurate to the best of your knowledge - Not infringing on third-party intellectual property or privacy rights - Free of personal information about other people - Not defamatory, obscene, or unlawful
We may remove submissions we believe are inaccurate, misleading, harmful, or in violation of these Terms.
Any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations you provide about the Service ("Feedback") may be used by WildTruth without obligation, attribution, or compensation. You grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Feedback for any purpose.
You earn points by contributing to the food database (scanning, submitting products, OCR captures, reports, upvotes). Points convert to FREE Premium time when our subscription launches:
Points have no cash value and cannot be: - Sold, traded, gifted, or transferred between accounts - Redeemed for cash, refunds, gift cards, or any tangible item - Used outside the WildTruth Service - Treated as currency, securities, or property under any applicable law
Points are forfeited if: - You delete your account - We terminate your account for material breach of these Terms - Your account is inactive for 24+ consecutive months - The Service is permanently discontinued (we will give 30 days' notice and reasonable opportunity to redeem points if possible)
We reserve the right to adjust the points system, including conversion rates, reward tiers, and earning rules, with reasonable notice (at least 30 days) for changes that reduce earned-but-unredeemed value. Bug fixes and enforcement of fraud rules do not require notice.
If and when we offer paid Premium:
All refund requests must be directed to the app store from which the subscription was purchased (Apple or Google). We do not process refunds directly except as required by applicable consumer protection law.
If Apple or Google issues a refund for a subscription period during which you used Premium features, we may revoke Premium access immediately upon notification of the refund.
We may make experimental, beta, or preview features available to some or all users. Beta features are provided "as is" with no warranty of any kind and may be modified, removed, or made paid at any time without notice. Your use of beta features does not entitle you to continued access.
We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice via in-App message or email. Continued use after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance. If you don't accept the new price, cancel before it takes effect.
You can delete your account at any time through the About tab → Profile → Delete Account. Your personal data will be removed per our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if: - You materially breach these Terms - You misuse the Service or engage in fraud - We reasonably suspect unauthorized account access - We are required to by law, court order, or government request - We discontinue the Service entirely (with 30 days' notice when reasonably possible)
We will give reasonable notice when possible. Some violations (fraud, abuse, security threats, child safety issues, illegal activity) may result in immediate termination without prior notice.
Upon termination: - Your access to the Service ends - Your personal data is deleted per the Privacy Policy - Points and any unredeemed rewards are forfeited - Public submissions remain in the food database, pseudonymized - The provisions of Sections 6 (license), 7.3 (forfeiture), 10 (third-party content), 12 (intellectual property), 14 (disclaimers), 15 (limitation of liability), 16 (indemnification), 17 (dispute resolution), 18 (general), and any other provision that by its nature should survive, will survive termination
The Service includes product information, images, and data from third-party sources, including Open Food Facts (an open-source food database). We do not control, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of third-party content.
Always verify ingredient and nutrition information by reading the actual product label before consuming, especially if you have allergies or medical conditions.
We are not liable for damages caused by inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated third-party content.
WildTruth is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
WildTruth scores foods based on ingredient analysis, nutrition data, and peer-reviewed research. The scores are opinions and educational tools, not medical, dietary, or professional advice.
If you have a serious allergy, intolerance, or medical condition, do NOT rely solely on WildTruth to determine if a food is safe for you. Always: - Read the actual product label every time - Verify with the manufacturer when in doubt - Consult your physician, allergist, or dietitian
Ingredient lists and nutrition data may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Manufacturers change formulations without notice. A score, badge, or "safe" indicator in WildTruth is never a guarantee of safety.
If we offer recall alerts as a Premium feature, we do not guarantee delivery, timeliness, or completeness of any recall notification. Recall data depends on third-party sources (FDA, manufacturer announcements). Always check the FDA's official recall database directly when safety is critical: fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts
We are not liable for any harm resulting from missed, delayed, or incorrect recall alerts.
Our scoring algorithm may produce incorrect or outdated scores due to data errors, ingredient list changes, OCR mistakes, or algorithm limitations. A score is not a guarantee of safety or quality. Use scores as one input among many, not as the sole basis for any health decision.
The WildTruth name, logo, scoring algorithm, App design, source code, branding, and original content are the exclusive property of WildTruth. All rights are reserved. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
Other trademarks shown in the App (brand names, product packaging, logos) belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does NOT imply endorsement of WildTruth by those owners or vice versa. Use of brand names is for nominative identification only.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code, algorithms, training data, or database structure of WildTruth, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law (e.g., for interoperability under EU Software Directive).
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated DMCA agent containing:
DMCA Agent: WildTruth — DMCA Agent Email: app@trueatzapp.com Subject: DMCA Notice
We will investigate notices and remove content that we determine in good faith to be infringing. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
If your content was wrongly removed, you may submit a counter-notice with the same information plus a statement of good-faith belief that the content was removed in error.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, ITS CONTENT, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY DATA IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties (including consumer guarantees in Australia, EU implied warranties, UK Consumer Rights Act statutory rights). In those jurisdictions, our warranties are limited to the minimum required by applicable law, and nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
These limits apply even if we knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.
The above limitations do not apply to: - (a) Personal injury or death caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct - (b) Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us - (c) Any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including non-waivable consumer protection rights) - (d) Our breach of confidentiality obligations - (e) Our indemnification obligations to you
Some jurisdictions (including EU member states, UK, Australia, and certain U.S. states) do not allow the limitation of certain damages or liability. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WildTruth and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from or related to:
This indemnification does not apply to consumers in jurisdictions where one-way indemnification by consumers is prohibited or restricted by applicable consumer protection law (including certain EU member states and the UK), to the extent so prohibited.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing any formal claim, you must contact us at app@trueatzapp.com with subject "Dispute" and try to resolve the issue informally. We agree to do the same. Most issues can be handled directly. Neither party may file a formal claim until 60 days after first contact, unless the claim is for injunctive relief.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at adr.org.
You waive the right to: - Sue in court (except for small claims as described below) - Have a jury trial - Participate in a class action, class arbitration, or other representative proceeding against us
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first creating your account by emailing app@trueatzapp.com with subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your account email. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
To the extent applicable law in your jurisdiction prohibits class action waivers (e.g., certain provisions in California, New Jersey, Massachusetts), this waiver shall not apply to you, but the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If a court finds the class waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim alone may proceed in court; all other claims remain in arbitration.
Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for: - Intellectual property violations - Misappropriation of trade secrets - Breach of confidentiality - Violations of the no-scraping or anti-reverse-engineering provisions
Either party may also bring claims in small claims court if eligible.
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply:
If you downloaded the App from the Google Play Store, you must comply with the Google Play Terms of Service and any device manufacturer or carrier terms. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not liable for the App or its content.
We may give you notice via: - Email to your registered address - In-App message or banner - Posting on the App or website
You consent to electronic notice as legally sufficient. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current.
Send notices to: app@trueatzapp.com with a clear subject line.
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves.
Material changes include changes to data practices, fee structure, dispute resolution, the points or Premium system, or rights and obligations of users. For material changes, we will:
If you don't agree with the material changes, you can delete your account before they take effect.
Typo fixes, formatting, contact info updates, and clarifications without substantive impact take effect immediately upon posting.
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any in-App agreements you accept, constitute the entire agreement between you and WildTruth regarding the Service, superseding all prior or contemporaneous agreements.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor entity (e.g., in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) without restriction.
We are not liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, internet or telecommunications outages, third-party service failures (including Firebase or other cloud providers), or other force majeure events.
These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and WildTruth.
WildTruth operates the Service as an independent provider. Nothing in these Terms creates any fiduciary, partnership, or special relationship.
Your privacy is governed by our Privacy Policy at trueatzapp.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference. Nothing in these Terms waives the privacy commitments described in that policy.
You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. and international export control laws when using the Service.
Except as expressly stated in Section 18 (Apple), no third party shall be deemed a beneficiary of these Terms.
