Terms of Use

Last updated: March 22, 2026

Acceptance

By downloading or using CartKind, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you are under the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, use of the app should be reviewed and approved by a parent or guardian.

Description of service

CartKind is an informational shopping reference app. It scans product barcodes, checks ingredients against user-defined rules, and presents a pass, caution, or fail result. CartKind is not a medical device and does not provide medical, allergy, nutritional, or dietary advice.

Third-party product data

CartKind uses Open Food Facts as the primary lookup source and may fall back to USDA FoodData Central when Open Food Facts does not return a usable match. Product data from third-party sources can be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. You are responsible for verifying ingredients by reading the physical product label before making food decisions.

Subscriptions

CartKind offers optional premium subscriptions through Apple's App Store.

• Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Billing, renewals, and cancellations are handled by Apple.
• Premium currently unlocks Insights, custom categories, custom triggers, and custom rules in new evaluations.

Optional external links

The app may offer optional source-reference links and optional shopping links. Those destinations open outside the app in your browser and are governed by the third party's own terms and privacy practices.

Some shopping links may be affiliate links, which means CartKind may earn a commission if you choose to make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.

User responsibilities

• You are responsible for the rules and preferences you configure in the app.
• You should not rely solely on the app for allergy or food-safety decisions.
• You are responsible for verifying the physical product label.

Disclaimer of warranties

CartKind is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that product information, source data, or app functionality will always be complete, accurate, current, or uninterrupted.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tyche Ventures LLC is not liable for damages arising from use of the app, including decisions made using third-party product information or failure to verify product labels.

Intellectual property

CartKind and its original design, branding, and software are owned by Tyche Ventures LLC. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the app except as permitted by law.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, the revised version will appear on this page with an updated date.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States.
