Terms of Service

Last updated: August 31, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Labelara (the "Service"), operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service does

Labelara calculates nutrition information for recipes you enter, using the USDA FoodData Central database and the values you provide, and generates Nutrition Facts label artwork in the format described by FDA regulations (21 CFR 101.9), together with optional ingredient statements, allergen statements, and state cottage-food disclaimer text.

2. Not legal or regulatory advice — your responsibility

The Service is a calculation and design tool, not a law firm, testing laboratory, or regulatory consultant. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legal compliance of any label you place on a product, including verifying that:

• the ingredients and amounts you entered are correct and complete;
• the correct USDA database records were matched to your ingredients (the Service always shows you which record was used);
• your product is eligible for the labeling approach you chose, including any state cottage-food program requirements;
• the finished label meets the regulations that apply to your product, business size, and sales channels.

Nutrition values are estimates derived from database averages and your inputs. They are not a substitute for laboratory analysis where analysis is required or advisable.

3. Accounts

You can try the Service without an account. To save recipes you sign in with an email magic link; you are responsible for maintaining access to your email account. You must provide accurate information and be at least 18 years old to purchase a subscription.

4. Plans, billing, and taxes

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle's Buyer Terms; the Service itself is provided and supported by us under these Terms. Paddle handles payment processing, invoicing, and the calculation and remittance of applicable taxes.

Paid access is a monthly subscription: currently $9 for the first month, then $29 per month (see the pricing page for current prices). The subscription renews automatically each month at the then-current price until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your Account page — cancellation is as easy as signing up, takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and stops all future charges. After cancellation your account becomes read-only: your recipes and previously exported labels remain accessible, while creating and editing require an active subscription. Refunds are handled as described in our Refund Policy, including a 7-day no-questions refund on any charge.

5. Your content

Your recipes, custom ingredients, and generated labels are yours. We claim no ownership of them. You grant us only the license needed to store and process them to provide the Service. We treat recipe contents as confidential business information and do not use them for marketing or share them with third parties except the processors listed in our Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable use

• No unlawful use, and no labels intended to mislead consumers.
• No attempts to disrupt the Service, probe its security, or access other users' data.
• No automated scraping of the ingredient database at scale; the public API endpoints are rate-limited.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, and its design are our property or licensed to us. USDA FoodData Central data is public domain. The Nutrition Facts label format is defined by US regulation and is not claimed as proprietary.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that generated labels satisfy the regulatory requirements applicable to your product.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including recall costs, lost profits, or regulatory fines.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms. Upon deletion your stored recipes are removed as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes will be announced on the site or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW STATE], USA. Questions: [SUPPORT EMAIL].
