Terms of Use

Last updated: 9 November 2026

These terms govern your use of the EthiCook mobile app and this website ("the Service"). The Service is provided by Giovanni Andrea Binda, trading as Slide Factory Apps, based in Germany ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

Food-safety notice: EthiCook is a convenience tool to help you keep track of dates. Expiry reminders and shelf-life suggestions are estimates and not a guarantee of food safety. Always use your own judgement and check food before eating it. We are not liable for spoiled food or any resulting harm.

1. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these terms and the Google Play terms.

2. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service: no reverse-engineering except where permitted by law, and no unlawful use. Contributing product data to Open Food Facts is optional. If you contribute through the app, you confirm the data is accurate to the best of your knowledge and contains no personal information; such contributions are sent under your own Open Food Facts account, are subject to the Open Food Facts terms, and are published publicly under the Open Database License (ODbL).

3. Third-party data and services

Product information is provided by Open Food Facts under the ODbL. We don't warrant that such data or the bundled recipes are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular dietary or medical need. Always verify ingredients and allergens for yourself.

4. Availability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Product lookups depend on Open Food Facts and network connectivity and may be temporarily unavailable.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from reliance on expiry estimates, recipes, or product data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory consumer rights.

6. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service evolves; material changes will be posted here with a new date. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

7. Governing law

These terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you are habitually resident.
