§1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Daps Dev ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of SousEye, our iOS application, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").
SousEye is a hands-free cooking companion for iOS. It identifies ingredients from photos of your fridge or pantry, scales recipes to the portions you actually have, and turns recipe videos from public TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube links into followable, voice-guided cooking steps.
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using SousEye, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Section 17 (Arbitration and class-action waiver) contains an arbitration clause and a class-action waiver that affect your legal rights — please read them carefully and note the 30-day opt-out option.
§2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, which is 16 in most of the EEA and the UK) to use the Services. If you are under 18 or the age of majority in your country, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.
The Services are not intended for use by persons subject to U.S. embargoes or by persons or entities listed on any U.S. or EU sanctions list, and you may not use the Services in violation of any applicable export controls, sanctions laws, or anti-corruption laws.
§3. License to use the Services
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use SousEye on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
Apple's standard End User License Agreement for App Store apps (the "Apple EULA") also applies to your use of SousEye; in the event of any conflict between the Apple EULA and these Terms, these Terms prevail to the extent permitted by the Apple EULA. Nothing in these Terms is intended to override the Apple EULA's required terms.
§4. Accounts
Some features of the Services require an account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at dapsdev.support@gmail.com if you suspect your account has been compromised.
You may delete your account at any time from within the app or by emailing dapsdev.support@gmail.com. We may suspend or terminate your account in accordance with Section 16 (Suspension and termination).
§5. Your content and feedback
SousEye accepts content you submit — for example photos, text prompts, audio, links, or other materials (collectively, "User Content"). You retain all rights you have in your User Content.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical reasons such as resizing or transcoding), transmit, and display your User Content for the limited purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Services. This license ends when you delete the User Content from the Services, except where (i) we have already shared it with a sub-processor as part of delivering the response (in which case the sub-processor's standard retention applies — see our Privacy Policy), or (ii) we are legally required to retain it.
You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content, (b) your User Content does not violate any law or these Terms, and (c) you have the right to grant the license above. You also confirm that you have any consents required from people identifiable in the content you submit (e.g. people whose conversations or photos you upload).
Feedback
If you send us feedback, suggestions, ideas, or proposed changes about the Services ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without compensation or attribution. You waive any moral rights in the Feedback to the extent permitted by law.
§6. Acceptable use
You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:
- Use the Services to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right (including privacy, intellectual-property, and publicity rights).
- Upload content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit involving minors, hateful, threatening, or that incites violence.
- Use the Services to send spam, malware, or attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the Services or any user.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of SousEye, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits.
- Use the Services to build a competing product, to scrape, copy, or harvest data from the Services in bulk, or to train any machine-learning model on outputs of the Services.
- Circumvent any rate limits, paywalls, or other technical limitations of the Services.
- Submit other people's personal information without their permission, or any information you are not legally permitted to share.
- Use automated means (bots, scripts) to access the Services other than through public interfaces we provide for that purpose.
- Use the Services to make decisions that require the certified, professional, or regulated judgement of a licensed professional, as further described in Section 9 (Specific disclaimer).
§7. Subscriptions, billing, and refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple. Cancellations are handled in your iPhone's Settings.
SousEye offers a paid subscription tier (SousEye Plus) that unlock additional features. Pricing, the length of each billing period, and the contents of each tier are shown in the app at the time of purchase.
Subscriptions auto-renew for the same billing period and at the same price (subject to any change communicated in advance and consented to as required by Apple) until you cancel. Your Apple ID is charged at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time in iPhone → Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Deleting SousEye from your device does not cancel your subscription.
Refunds are handled by Apple. To request a refund, visit https://reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not control Apple's refund decisions. Where required by mandatory consumer-protection law, we will honour statutory refund rights.
Free trials, if offered, automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel beforehand. You may use a free trial only once per Apple ID family.
Promotional pricing introduced after launch may have its own terms; those terms will be presented to you at the time of purchase and incorporated into these Terms by reference for that promotion.
EU/UK consumer right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a digital subscription contract under Articles 9–16 of EU Directive 2011/83/EU (and the equivalent UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). However, if you start using SousEye's paid features within that 14-day window, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun. Apple processes refund requests on our behalf for App Store purchases.
§8. AI-generated output
AI is a tool, not an authority. Use your own judgement.
SousEye uses third-party large language models and other AI services to produce ingredient identification, recipe extraction from videos, scaled recipe steps, voice-guided instructions, and other cooking-related suggestions. AI-generated output can be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or fabricated, even when it sounds confident. We do not warrant that any AI output is accurate, current, or appropriate for your specific situation.
AI output produced by SousEye is not a substitute for professional dietary, nutritional, allergen, or medical advice. Always check ingredients against your own dietary needs and food allergies before cooking or eating, and never rely on AI for food-safety decisions.. You should independently verify any output before relying on it, and you are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on it.
You agree not to use the Services for any purpose that requires the certified, professional, or regulated judgement of a licensed professional, except as a starting point that you will validate with such a professional.
§9. Specific disclaimer for SousEye
SousEye identifies ingredients, scales recipes, transcribes audio, and generates suggested cooking steps. It is a cooking companion — not a dietitian, allergist, or food-safety inspector.
Always check the actual ingredients in front of you, the original recipe source, and the labelling on every package against your own dietary requirements, food allergies, intolerances, religious or cultural restrictions, and any medical advice you have received. Visual ingredient identification can be wrong, especially for similar-looking items, partially hidden items, ingredients packaged in branded containers, and items with multiple varieties (e.g. nut-flour vs. wheat-flour, plant milk vs. dairy milk).
SousEye is not a substitute for professional dietary, nutritional, allergen, food-safety, or medical advice. If you have a serious or life-threatening food allergy, do not rely on AI ingredient identification — verify every ingredient against the original packaging or with the person who prepared the food. Contact dapsdev.support@gmail.com if you find a systematic error so we can investigate.
§10. Copyright and DMCA notice
Daps Dev respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We respond to clear, complete notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and to equivalent notices under foreign copyright laws.
If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent at dapsdev.support@gmail.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice". Your notice must include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
- Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and information sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g. a screenshot or URL).
- Your contact information, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Counter-notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dapsdev.support@gmail.com that includes the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), including your contact information, an identification of the removed material and the location at which it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for California.
Repeat infringers
We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
§11. Third-party services and links
The Services may interoperate with, link to, or display content from third-party services (including Apple, OpenAI, Supabase, RevenueCat, and the platforms whose public content you import). Your use of those third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service, and we do not endorse them.
§12. Our intellectual property
SousEye, our website, and all of the software, design, text, graphics, logos, and other content we provide (other than your User Content) are owned by Daps Dev or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 3 (License to use the Services), we grant you no rights in our intellectual property by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
"SousEye" and the SousEye logo are trademarks of Daps Dev. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except for nominative fair use (e.g. accurately referring to SousEye in editorial or commentary contexts).
§13. Disclaimer of warranties
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any consumer-protection rights you may have under mandatory law (including the Australian Consumer Law guarantees, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act, and similar laws in the EEA and UK) that cannot lawfully be excluded.
§14. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DAPS DEV, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) USD $50.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, OR LIABILITY UNDER MANDATORY CONSUMER-PROTECTION LAW).
§15. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Daps Dev and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Services, (b) your User Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right. We will provide you reasonable notice of any claim and may, at our option, assume control of the defence with counsel of our choosing; you may not settle a claim without our prior written consent.
§16. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. Where practicable, we will give you reasonable notice of termination, except where doing so would expose us or others to legal liability or harm.
You may stop using the Services at any time. If you have a paid subscription, you remain responsible for any charges accrued before cancellation. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Section 5 (Your content and feedback), Section 12 (Our intellectual property), Section 13 (Disclaimer of warranties), Section 14 (Limitation of liability), Section 15 (Indemnification), Section 17 (Arbitration and class-action waiver), Section 18 (Governing law and venue), and any payment obligations — will survive termination.
§17. Arbitration and class-action waiver
Read this section carefully. It requires you to arbitrate certain disputes individually, waives your right to bring or participate in a class action, and gives you 30 days to opt out.
This Section 17 is governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and applies to any dispute between you and Daps Dev (a "Dispute") arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, your User Content, or our marketing of the Services, regardless of legal theory and whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms.
Informal resolution
Before filing a Dispute, you and we agree to try to resolve it informally for at least 60 days. To begin informal resolution, send a written notice describing the Dispute and the relief you seek to dapsdev.support@gmail.com (for you) or to dapsdev.support@gmail.com (for us). The 60-day period is a condition precedent to filing arbitration; the limitations period is tolled during informal resolution.
Binding arbitration
If informal resolution does not resolve the Dispute, you and we agree to resolve it through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (https://www.adr.org/consumer). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's award is final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights pending arbitration.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in English, and any in-person hearings will take place in San Francisco County, California (or, if you reside outside California, in the U.S. county where you reside). For claims of USD $25,000 or less, the arbitration may be conducted by document submission, telephone, or video conference. Filing fees and arbitration costs follow the AAA Consumer Rules; Daps Dev will pay the share of fees that exceed what you would have paid in court for an equivalent claim.
Class-action and jury-trial waiver
YOU AND DAPS DEV AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF THIS WAIVER IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE, THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION SECTION (OTHER THAN THE OPT-OUT PROVISION) IS VOID, AND THE DISPUTE WILL PROCEED IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH Section 18 (Governing law and venue). YOU AND DAPS DEV ALSO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Mass-arbitration procedures
If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Daps Dev within a 60-day period and the demands are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be batched into "Bellwether" rounds of up to 50 cases at a time. Each batch will be assigned to a single arbitrator. Filing of any subsequent batch is suspended until the prior batch's arbitrator(s) have rendered a final award. The statute of limitations is tolled for cases in subsequent batches during this process. Any provision of the AAA rules inconsistent with this paragraph is superseded.
Carve-outs
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring (i) a claim that qualifies for small-claims court in the county of the consumer's residence, (ii) a claim for injunctive relief to prevent infringement or misappropriation of intellectual-property rights, and (iii) any claim that may not be arbitrated under applicable law (e.g. some statutory consumer claims).
Right to opt out
You can opt out of this arbitration agreement (and the class-action waiver) within 30 days after first accepting these Terms by emailing dapsdev.support@gmail.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out — SousEye" and including your full name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, neither you nor Daps Dev will be required to arbitrate disputes; you will instead be subject to Section 18 (Governing law and venue). Opting out has no other effect on the rest of these Terms or your use of the Services.
Carve-out for EU/UK/Quebec/applicable consumer-protection law
If you are a consumer who resides in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Quebec, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws would prohibit binding pre-dispute arbitration, this entire Section 17 (Arbitration and class-action waiver) does not apply to you. Your disputes will be governed by Section 18 (Governing law and venue) and you may bring claims in your local courts as required by law.
§18. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes that are not subject to arbitration under Section 17 (Arbitration and class-action waiver), except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights.
If you are a consumer who resides in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Quebec, Australia, Brazil, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws apply, nothing in this Section 18 (Governing law and venue) deprives you of the protections of those laws, and you may bring claims in your local courts.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or it is permanently barred, except to the extent applicable law requires a longer limitations period (in which case the limitations period required by law applies).
The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
§19. Additional terms for App Store apps
These Terms are between you and Daps Dev only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for SousEye or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to SousEye.
In the event of any failure of SousEye to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for SousEye. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to SousEye.
Daps Dev is solely responsible for any product warranties that are not effectively disclaimed and for addressing any claims relating to SousEye, including product-liability claims, claims that SousEye fails to conform to applicable legal requirements, and consumer-protection or similar claims (collectively, "Product Claims"). Daps Dev (and not Apple) is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any Product Claim.
Daps Dev (and not Apple) is responsible for addressing any third-party claim that SousEye or your use of SousEye infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights.
You represent that (a) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
§20. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any in-app order confirmations) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. A waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms (including by operation of law) without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including to an acquirer of substantially all our assets.
Force majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, pandemic, governmental action, labour disputes, internet or power outages, or third-party service failures. Payment obligations are not excused.
Notices. We may give notices via the app, email to the address associated with your account, or by posting an update on https://dapsdev.vercel.app. You will give us notices at dapsdev.support@gmail.com unless a different address is specified for a particular kind of notice (e.g. the DMCA address in Section 10 (Copyright and DMCA notice) or the arbitration address in Section 17 (Arbitration and class-action waiver)).
Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically (in-app or by email). Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.
Independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
§21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide notice through the app or by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect; for material changes that affect a paid subscription's price or billing terms, we will provide notice as required by Apple and applicable law and obtain any required consent before the change takes effect for you.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated version constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the update, you must stop using the Services and, where applicable, cancel your subscription before the effective date.
§22. Contact
If you have questions about these Terms, contact us at dapsdev.support@gmail.com.
