The Service is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. Features may evolve, and some may be in beta or subject to availability.

2. No Medical, Nutritional, or Professional Advice

SousSight is not a medical device and does not provide medical, healthcare, nutritional, dietary, allergy, or professional advice of any kind.

Users are solely responsible for independently verifying all information regarding ingredients, allergens, nutritional content, dietary restrictions, religious requirements, food safety, and product labels. The Company is not liable for any allergic reactions, illness, injury, food poisoning, dietary violations, or other damages resulting from use of or reliance on the Service.

3. Artificial Intelligence Disclosure and Limitations

The Service utilizes artificial intelligence technologies. AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, biased, or incorrect. This includes, without limitation, ingredient identification, recipe recommendations, substitutions, nutritional estimates, cooking instructions, product recommendations, and any visual or audio analysis.

You assume all risks associated with reliance on AI-generated content. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any AI output.

4. Food Safety Disclaimer

The Company makes no guarantees regarding food safety, cooking temperatures, storage recommendations, preparation methods, ingredient suitability, freshness, or expiration assessments. Users are solely responsible for safe food handling, preparation, storage, and consumption in accordance with all applicable laws and guidelines.

5. Shopping, Third-Party Services, and Integrations

The Service may integrate with third-party providers, including grocery delivery services, retailers, payment processors, AI providers, smart glasses platforms, and other service providers. The Company is not a retailer, merchant of record, or delivery provider. All transactions occur directly between you and the applicable third party.

The Company is not responsible for product quality, availability, substitutions, pricing, recalls, delivery issues, returns, refunds, payment failures, account issues, service interruptions, or any third-party conduct, policies, or acts.

By submitting content, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, process, analyze, reproduce, display, transmit, store, modify, adapt, and use such content solely for operating, providing, improving, securing, and supporting the Service, including AI training on anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified data where permitted by law.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, timely, complete, current, or secure. Beta, experimental, or preview features are provided “AS IS” with no warranties of any kind.

Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing: We do not warrant that our data security measures will prevent all unauthorized access, data breaches, or security incidents. No system, network, or transmission method is completely secure.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FOOD POISONING, ALLERGIC REACTIONS, INJURY, BURNS, CUTS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, DATA LOSS, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 USD OR THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and regardless of whether the claim arises from: (a) your use of the Service, (b) our data security or privacy practices, (c) any unauthorized access to or breach of your data, or (d) our AI outputs or recommendations.

You acknowledge that the liability cap in this section applies to all claims, including those that might otherwise arise from any statements, disclosures, or descriptions in the Privacy Policy.

This limitation survives termination of your account or these Terms.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, or your reliance on AI outputs.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or if necessary to protect the Service, other users, or the Company.

Upon termination, your license ends immediately and you must cease using the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, arbitration, and governing law.

18. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in Harris County, Texas, administered by AAA or JAMS, as selected by the Company, except where prohibited by law or where a claim may be brought in small claims court.

You waive any right to class actions, class arbitrations, jury trials, or representative proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This arbitration agreement applies to all disputes, including those related to privacy, data security, and AI outputs.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

20. International Users

Users outside the United States are responsible for complying with their local laws. The Service may not be available in all jurisdictions and is not tailored to every foreign regulatory requirement. Where applicable, users may exercise privacy rights as described in the Privacy Policy.

21. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays, interruptions, failures, or performance issues caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, power failures, internet outages, cyberattacks, pandemics, government actions, or third-party service failures.

21.5 Accessibility Compliance

We are committed to making the Service accessible to users with disabilities. We strive to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us at support@soussight.com.

22. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not waive that right or provision.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any incorporated policies, notices, or supplemental terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on the subject matter.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to these Terms, including the Disclaimer of Warranties (§13) and Limitation of Liability (§14). No statement in the Privacy Policy creates an independent contractual obligation, warranty, or representation outside of these Terms.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice as required by law or through the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
