MenuGallery — Legal
Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and MenuGallery (“MenuGallery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the MenuGallery mobile application and any related services (together, the “App”). MenuGallery lets you photograph a printed menu so the App can read the dishes, show you an illustrative image of each dish, and display estimated nutrition information.
Please read these Terms carefully. They include important disclaimers about AI-generated content and nutrition estimates, a limitation of our liability, and provisions that also apply for the benefit of the app stores through which you obtained the App. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Acceptance and Eligibility
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you use the App on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf.
The App is not directed to children. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2. License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, MenuGallery grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on a device that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. This license is granted to you and is not a sale of the App.
Your use of the App must comply with the Usage Rules set out in the applicable app store’s terms of service (including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Google Play Terms of Service, as applicable). Where the App is downloaded from the Apple App Store, the license is further limited to use on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by those Usage Rules, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing where enabled.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:
- copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying structure of the App, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App;
- remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the App; or
- use the App in any way not expressly permitted by these Terms.
3. The Service and AI-Generated Content
The App uses artificial intelligence to read the text of a menu you photograph and to generate content about the dishes it finds. You understand and agree that this content is produced automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
- Dish images are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of the actual food served by any restaurant. They are intended to give you a general visual impression only and may differ substantially from the real dish in appearance, ingredients, and portion size.
- Extracted dish names, descriptions, and prices may contain errors. The App’s reading of a menu can misinterpret text, omit items, or display outdated prices. Always confirm names, prices, ingredients, and availability directly with the physical menu or the restaurant before ordering or making any decision.
MenuGallery is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any restaurant, food establishment, or brand whose menu you may photograph, and we make no representation about the accuracy of any menu content.
4. Nutrition Disclaimer
Calorie, carbohydrate, protein, and any other nutrition figures shown in the App are AI-generated estimates provided for general informational purposes only. They are not exact, they are not verified against any restaurant’s recipes, and they must not be relied upon for medical, dietary, or health decisions.
The App does not provide medical, nutritional, or professional advice, and no content in the App is a substitute for the advice of a qualified physician, dietitian, or other healthcare professional. Never rely on the App to determine whether a food is safe for you, and never rely on it in connection with any allergy, intolerance, dietary restriction, or medical condition. If you have a food allergy or a medical condition, always verify ingredients and nutrition information directly with the restaurant and consult a qualified professional. Your reliance on any nutrition estimate in the App is entirely at your own risk.
5. Your Content
As between you and MenuGallery, you retain all rights to the photographs you capture with the App (“Your Content”). You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process Your Content solely to operate and provide the App to you — for example, to transmit a menu photo to our AI providers so they can read it and return results. As described in our Privacy Policy, we do not store your photos on our servers; they are processed transiently and then discarded.
You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent and warrant that you have the right to photograph the menus you submit and to have them processed by the App, and that doing so does not violate any law or any third party’s rights. The results the App produces are provided for your personal, non-commercial use.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the App to:
- violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of any third party;
- interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, our servers, or the systems of our service providers;
- probe, scan, scrape, or test the vulnerability of our backend, or circumvent, disable, or defeat any security, authentication, or rate-limiting measure;
- use any automated means, bot, or script to access the App or to submit requests, or use the App to build a competing product or dataset; or
- use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair it or interfere with anyone else’s use.
To keep the service available and affordable for everyone, daily usage limits apply and may change at any time, in our discretion and without notice. You agree not to take any action designed to evade or exceed these limits.
7. Maintenance, Support, and Availability
MenuGallery — and not Apple, Google, or any other app store or platform provider — is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. No app store or platform provider has any obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App. If you have any questions about the App, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.
The App relies on third-party artificial-intelligence services and internet connectivity to function. We do not guarantee that the App will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time, with or without notice, without liability to you.
8. Intellectual Property
The App, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the MenuGallery name and brand, is owned by MenuGallery and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the App is transferred to you.
In the event that any third party claims that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, MenuGallery — and not Apple, Google, or any other app store or platform provider — will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim, to the extent required by these Terms and applicable law.
9. Third-Party Services and Terms
The App depends on third-party service providers to function, including Supabase (backend hosting and rate-limiting) and OpenRouter (routing your menu photo to AI model providers that read it). These providers are described in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the App may be subject to the applicable terms of those third parties, and you agree to comply with any such third-party terms that apply to you.
MenuGallery is not responsible for the practices, content, or availability of any third-party service, and these Terms do not create any obligation on the part of any third party toward you.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MenuGallery disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that the menu readings, dish images, prices, or nutrition estimates it produces will be accurate or reliable.
If the App was obtained through the Apple App Store, then in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple’s sole warranty obligation to you will be to refund the purchase price of the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of MenuGallery. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will MenuGallery be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App, your reliance on any content the App produces (including menu readings, dish images, prices, and nutrition estimates), or these Terms, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MenuGallery’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the total amount you paid us to use the App (which is currently $0) or USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Product Claims
MenuGallery — and not Apple, Google, or any other app store or platform provider — is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the App’s use of any artificial-intelligence features. These Terms do not limit MenuGallery’s responsibility for such claims beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
13. Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist-supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You further agree to comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations in connection with your use of the App, including all applicable export control and sanctions laws.
14. Apple and Google as Third-Party Beneficiaries
You acknowledge and agree that these Terms are concluded between you and MenuGallery only, and not with Apple, and that MenuGallery, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Your use of the App must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
You further acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of them.
Likewise, if you obtained the App through Google Play, you acknowledge that Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App, and that your use of the App must comply with the Google Play Terms of Service.
15. Termination
These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. We may suspend or terminate your license to use the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the App and deleting it from your device. Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, limitations of liability, intellectual property provisions, and governing-law provisions — will survive.
16. 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 and post the updated Terms at this URL. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the App after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the App.
17. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. This governing-law provision does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer protection laws of the country in which you reside where applicable law does not permit otherwise.
18. Contact and Developer Information
The App is provided by MenuGallery. If you have any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App, or need to reach us for any reason, please contact us by email at info@menugallery.app. We are the point of contact for all such questions, complaints, and claims relating to the App.
19. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms without restriction. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MenuGallery regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
