1. OUR SERVICES

MealVue Chef is a mobile app for meal planning and kitchen management. Users can scan groceries, barcodes, and receipts with their phone's camera to track their food inventory and its estimated expiry dates, browse and search recipes, build shopping lists, and get AI-powered ingredient recognition and recipe suggestions. The App also includes a community where users can share recipes, post content, and interact with other users; an AI chef (“Fantasy Chef”) that invents recipes from the preferences You describe; spoken, hands-free cooking guidance; and the ability to import recipes from web pages You choose. All features are currently free of charge. We may in future offer optional paid subscriptions for premium features, in which case Sections 5 and 6 will apply.

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, You may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

“Intellectual Property Rights” means any right that is or may be granted or recognized under any Canadian, United States, or foreign legislation regarding inventions, whether patentable or not, patents, copyrights, neighbouring rights, moral rights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, industrial designs, utility model, mask work, integrated circuit topography, privacy, publicity, celebrity and personality rights, and any other statutory provision or common or civil law principle regarding intellectual and industrial property, whether registered or unregistered, and including rights in any application, renewal, continuing application or revival for any of the foregoing.

“MealLens Property” means any methods, concepts, inventions (whether patentable or not), discoveries, systems, software, processes, techniques, methodologies, concepts, know-how, data, databases, tools, templates, technology, documentation, specifications, designs, or any other information, data or materials, and any expressions of the foregoing, either developed by, owned by, or licensed to MealLens, inclusive of (a) all proposals and materials provided to You by MealLens in connection with the Services; (b) all improvements, enhancements, or derivatives to the items described in (a) that are developed by MealLens for the purposes of providing the Services; and (c) any deliverables under the Services.

5. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

This Section 5 and Section 6 (Subscriptions) apply only if and when we offer paid features or subscriptions. At present all features of the App are free and no payment is requested. If we introduce paid features, payment will be accepted only through the in-app purchase system of the app store from which You downloaded the App:

Apple App Store (in-app purchase)

Payment Information. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Services. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information, including email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact You as needed.

Sales Tax. Sales tax will be added to the price of purchases as deemed required by us or by the app store. We may change prices at any time. Prices are displayed and charged by the app store in the currency of your app store account’s country or region; any reference prices quoted by us are in United States dollars (“USD”).

Payment of Fees. You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchases, and You authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider for any such amounts upon placing your order. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.

Restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse, limit, or cancel any order or subscription.

6. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscription Term. “Subscription Term” means, collectively, the initial term of your subscription to the applicable Service and each subsequent renewal period. Your “Current Term” is your then-current committed period of the Service, as either an Initial Term or Renewal Term.

Billing and Renewal. You consent to us charging Your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as You cancel the applicable order. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription plan You choose when You subscribed to the Services.

Free Trial. We may offer a free trial to new subscribers. Where we do, the trial length will be stated before You subscribe, and the account will be charged according to the user's chosen subscription at the end of the free trial unless cancelled before it ends.

Cancellation of Subscription. All purchases are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by the applicable app store’s rules or by non-waivable consumer protection law. Subscriptions, when offered, are purchased through Apple’s in-app purchase system and are managed and cancelled in Your Apple App Store account settings (Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions), not within the App. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current period. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term. If You have any questions or are unsatisfied with our Services, please contact us.

Fee Changes. We may, from time to time, make changes to the subscription fee and will provide reasonable notice of any price changes to You in accordance with applicable law.

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either You or us (individually, a “party” and collectively, the “parties”), the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided in this Section 20 of these Terms) informally and in good faith for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations shall commence upon written notice from one party to the other party.

Binding Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Arbitration Rules in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Toronto, Canada. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Terms shall be the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.

Restrictions. The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. The parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Nothing contained in this Section 20 of the Terms shall deny either party the right to seek, at any time, injunctive, or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

Entire Agreement. These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between You and us. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law.

Assignment. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time without prior notice.

No Relationship. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between You and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.

Severability. If any provision of the MealLens Terms are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, then the remaining provisions of the MealLens Terms, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each such provision of the MealLens Terms shall be valid and enforceable to the extent granted by law.

Waiver. No delay or omission by a party to exercise any right or power it has under the MealLens Terms or to object to the failure of any covenant of the other party to be performed in a timely and complete manner, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party waiving its rights.

Force Majeure. No party shall be liable or responsible for any act of God, nature, or man or other act, circumstance, event, impediment, or occurrence beyond the control of such party (each a “Force Majeure Event”), including without limitation acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, acts, regulations, or laws of any government, insurrection, uprising, or acts of civil violence, acts of domestic or international terrorism, fire, explosion, strikes, lockouts, or labour disruptions however arising, power surges or outages, Internet or telecommunications outages lasting more than three (3) days, unscheduled bank closure or bank failure, epidemics, pandemics, and/or public health emergencies identified by public health officials as affecting any relevant location (including, without limitation, the pandemic known as coronavirus, COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2), flood, tsunami, earthquakes, tornado, hurricane or tropical storm or other similarly classified storm, riot, or war. Upon prompt notice to the other party/parties of such Force Majeure Event and/or particular effects thereof, using commercially reasonable efforts, the party affected by any Force Majeure Event will be excused from performance hereunder, and will not be in breach of or in default under the MealLens Terms for any delay or failure in its performance, to the extent and for so long as its performance hereunder is prevented or restricted by a Force Majeure Event, and the other party will likewise be excused from performance of its obligations hereunder relating to such delayed or failed performance to the same extent and for the same duration. However, no Force Majeure will be cause for or excuse any delay in performing non-affected obligations (including payment for Services in accordance with the MealLens Terms). If You are unable to perform due to any such delay, MealLens shall not be liable for any breach of the Terms by MealLens to the extent of your non-performance.
