Terms of Use — Anoteo
Last updated: July 19, 2026
These terms (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Abed Alnkib ("we"), operator of the Anoteo app and the anoteo.com website (together, the "Service"). By installing the app or using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of them. If you do not agree — do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
Use of the Service is permitted from age 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your country, whichever is higher). By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that nothing legally prevents you from entering into this agreement.
2. License
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for your private purposes, subject to these Terms and Apple's App Store rules. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or reverse-engineer the Service or any part of it, except as expressly permitted by law.
3. Not medical advice
Anoteo is a nutrition-tracking tool only. Calorie and nutrition estimates — including AI analysis, the foods database, barcode databases, insights, trends and suggestions — are statistical estimates only, may be wrong or outdated, and do not constitute medical, dietary or professional advice of any kind. Do not use the Service to diagnose, treat or prevent any medical condition. Before any health decision — especially during pregnancy, with chronic medical conditions, eating disorders or medication — consult a physician or registered dietitian.
4. Allergens — your sole responsibility
Allergen alerts rely on ingredient lists from public databases and user submissions, which may be incomplete, wrong or outdated, and do not cover cross-contamination. You must verify the ingredient list on the product's packaging before any consumption. Never rely on the Service for decisions that could endanger life; we accept no liability for damage arising from such reliance.
5. The Anoteo Pro subscription
Some features require a paid subscription ("Anoteo Pro"): $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a one-month free trial on the yearly plan for new subscribers. Prices are in USD, may vary by region and taxes, and the final, binding price is shown in the App Store before you confirm the purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for an identical period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. Manage and cancel anytime in your App Store settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, with no pro-rated refund. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. A purchased subscription may be shared with family members via Family Sharing. Refunds are subject to Apple's policies and handled solely by Apple. We may update prices and features; a price change applies only from the next renewal period and subject to Apple's rules.
6. The free tier
The free tier includes the core tracking experience (manual logging, barcodes, databases, targets and history) and a daily quota of AI analyses. We may adjust the scope of the free tier from time to time, provided we do not retroactively remove features an active subscription was paid for.
7. Content you submit
By submitting a product, feedback or other content you represent that the information is accurate to your knowledge and that you hold all rights to provide it, and you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, process, edit and redistribute it within the Service and the shared databases — including under the ODbL license for the product databases. Do not submit content you have no right to share, or content that is misleading, offensive or unlawful. Shared recipes and challenges travel in links directly between users and do not pass through us — full responsibility for their content lies with the sharer.
8. Acceptable use
You may not: (a) flood or overload the servers or circumvent rate limits; (b) submit false, harmful or infringing content; (c) attempt to disrupt, breach or probe the Service; (d) use the Service commercially, including mining the databases, without our written consent (except your rights under the ODbL license for the open databases); (e) impersonate another person. A material breach entitles us to block access to the shared services.
9. Intellectual property
All rights in the Service — including the code, design, the "Anoteo" and "AnoteoAI" marks, the logo and content we created — belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right in this property beyond the license in section 2.
10. Third-party components and data sources
The foods database is based on USDA FoodData Central (public domain). Barcode databases are based on Open Food Facts under the ODbL license, and the derived packs we distribute are available under the same license. The local AI engine ("AnoteoAI") is built on llama.cpp (MIT license) and on licensed open models from Google (Gemma) and Alibaba (Qwen), subject to their license terms. Apple services (App Store, iCloud, Health, App Attest) are subject to Apple's terms. Full attributions appear in the app's About screen and the website's credits page.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties or representations of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or fully secure, or that nutrition estimates will be accurate.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damage, or loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from the Service or the inability to use it — including reliance on nutrition estimates, allergen alerts or user content. Our total aggregate liability will not exceed the amount you actually paid us in the 12 months preceding the event, or USD 50 — whichever is higher. Nothing in these Terms derogates from consumer rights that cannot be waived by law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us against any third-party claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, content you submitted, or your use of the Service in violation of law.
14. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app (subscription cancellation is separate, via the App Store). We may suspend or terminate access to the shared services for a material breach of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification — will continue to apply.
15. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed solely by the laws of the State of Israel, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive jurisdiction lies with the competent courts of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa district. This does not derogate from mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence.
16. Miscellaneous
If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. Non-enforcement of a right is not a waiver of it. We may not assign these Terms in a way that harms your rights; you may not assign them without our consent. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.
17. Updates to these Terms
We will update these Terms as needed; material changes will be announced in the app or on the website at least 14 days in advance. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance. Questions: abed3228@gmail.com
