Terms of Use
Last updated: [DATE YOU PUBLISH]
1. About these terms
These terms apply when you use the Bioryte website and the Bioryte Scan app preview (together, "Bioryte"). Bioryte is run by Bonolo Kompe, trading as Bioryte, in Parys, South Africa. By using Bioryte you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree for you.
What Bioryte is. Bioryte helps you read and understand the ingredients in packaged food. We explain what an ingredient is and why it may matter, in plain language, and we teach children about what they eat.
What Bioryte is not. Bioryte is education, not medical, dietary or legal advice. We do not diagnose or treat anything, and we do not replace a doctor or dietitian. We do not give products or brands a score, and we do not tell you what to buy.
The app is a preview that we are testing. Features may change, be unavailable, or contain mistakes.
2. Using Bioryte, profiles and children
You may use Bioryte for your own personal, non-commercial use. The preview needs no account, and profiles are created on your own device.
A parent or guardian can make a profile for a child. By doing so, you confirm that you are the child's parent or legal guardian and that you consent to the child using Bioryte under your supervision. You are responsible for how a child uses the app on your device.
3. Product information and allergies
Product names, photos and ingredient lists come mainly from Open Food Facts, a public database that anyone can edit, and from our own ingredient library. Open Food Facts data is available under the Open Database Licence. Both sources can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and manufacturers change recipes without notice.
Always read the label on the pack. Do not rely on Bioryte alone for allergies, intolerances, medical conditions or dietary needs. An allergy alert from Bioryte is a helpful extra check, not a guarantee that a product is safe or unsafe. If a product is missing or looks wrong, please tell us through the app. We may link to other websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for them.
4. Supporting Bioryte
Bioryte is a business, not a registered charity. You can choose to make a payment to support our work through PayFast. These payments are voluntary contributions to help us build and run Bioryte. They are not tax-deductible donations and we cannot issue Section 18A tax certificates. Unless we tell you otherwise in writing, a support payment does not buy you any product or service, and it is not refundable once processed, except where the law says otherwise. Children must not make payments.
5. Your feedback, our content and acceptable use
Feedback. If you send us feedback, ideas or product reports, you allow us to use them to improve Bioryte, without payment and without naming you. Please do not include other people's personal information.
Our content. The Bioryte name, logo, ingredient explanations, lessons and design belong to Bioryte or its licensors. You may use them for your own personal use. Please do not copy, resell or republish them without our written permission.
Acceptable use. Please do not try to break, overload or gain access to our systems or database, send false reports on purpose or spam, scrape our ingredient library in bulk, or use Bioryte in a way that breaks the law or harms others.
6. Liability, changes and contact
Bioryte is offered "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss or harm that comes from relying on information in Bioryte, from errors in third-party product data, or from the app being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act or other law that cannot be limited.
We may change or stop Bioryte, or update these terms, at any time. We will change the date at the top and, for important changes, tell signed-up users by email. These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa and the South African courts have jurisdiction.
