Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of another person, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf.

2. The Service

Ripn helps you track groceries and pantry items, monitor expiry dates, and receive recipe suggestions based on the items in your kitchen. Certain features, including automated item recognition from photos and recipe generation, are powered by artificial intelligence and are provided on an informational basis only.

3. Subscriptions, Trials, and Payment

• Access to the App requires a paid subscription, which may include a free trial period.
• Subscriptions are offered on a monthly or annual basis at the prices displayed in the App at the time of purchase.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings.
• If a free trial is offered and you do not cancel before it ends, your subscription will begin and the applicable fee will be charged. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with its policies.
• We may change subscription prices from time to time. Price changes will not affect the period you have already paid for and will be communicated as required by applicable law and Apple's policies.

4. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. Notify us promptly at team@ripn.app of any unauthorized use of your account.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Attempt to access, tamper with, reverse engineer, decompile, or disrupt the App or its underlying systems;
• Use automated means to access the App or extract data from it without our permission;
• Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful; or
• Interfere with any other user's use of the App.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.

6. AI-Generated Content and Food Safety

Recipe suggestions, expiry estimates, item recognition, and other outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your circumstances. Expiry estimates are approximations and are not a guarantee of food safety. You are solely responsible for judging whether any food is safe to eat and whether any recipe is appropriate for you, including with respect to allergies, dietary restrictions, and food handling. Do not rely on the App as a substitute for your own judgment or for professional, medical, or nutritional advice.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by MN8 or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You retain ownership of the content you add to the App, and you grant us a license to use that content solely to operate and provide the App to you.

8. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any results, estimates, or suggestions will be accurate or reliable. To the extent any warranty cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the minimum permitted by law.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MN8 and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MN8 and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to applicable law, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved in the courts located in Quebec, Canada, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights available to you under the laws of your place of residence.

13. Apple App Store Terms

These Terms are between you and MN8 only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
