Nectar
Effective: 14 August 2026 · Last updated: 20 August 2026
These terms are a binding agreement between you and Stefan Cleland, an individual sole proprietor ("Nectar", "we", "us"), governing your use of the Nectar mobile app. By downloading, installing or using Nectar, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
Nectar is an informational tool, not a healthcare provider. We are not doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, allergists, or pharmacists. Nothing in this app is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing in it creates a doctor–patient or any other professional relationship.
Product scores are opinions, not facts. A score is the output of our own general-purpose rules applied to whatever ingredient data we could find. It is not a safety certification, a clinical assessment, or a judgement about whether a product is right for you. Two people with different bodies can be harmed and helped by the same food.
Never rely on Nectar for an allergy or medical decision. Our ingredient data comes from third-party databases and product manufacturers, and it can be incomplete, outdated, mistranslated, or simply wrong. Formulations change without notice. Barcodes are reused. Labels differ between countries and between batches of the same product.
If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or any medical condition: read the physical label on the physical package, every time, and follow the guidance of your own qualified healthcare professional. Nectar is not a substitute for either, and must never be used as your only check.
Never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you read in Nectar. If you think you are having a medical emergency or an allergic reaction, stop and call your local emergency number immediately.
Nectar has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, the UK MHRA, or any comparable authority. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
You must be at least 13 years old. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may only use Nectar with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf. You must not be barred from using the app under any applicable law or sanctions regime.
You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete account, or by emailing us. Deletion is permanent.
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Nectar on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, subject to these terms and to the rules of the app store you got it from. We reserve every right not expressly granted.
You agree not to:
Nectar does not currently offer community posting, public profiles, or any other way for users to publish content to each other. Nothing you enter in the app is visible to other users.
If we introduce community features in future, we will publish updated terms covering content ownership, prohibited content, moderation, and reporting before those features become available to you, and we will notify you of the change as described in section 12.
Wrong or missing product data: use Report an issue in the app. It helps us and everyone else.
Anything else — including a security issue, a legal concern, or a copyright complaint: nectarappsupport@gmail.com. We aim to respond within a few days.
If you believe content in the app infringes your copyright, send a notice to the address above identifying the work, the content complained of, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorised.
Some features require a paid subscription. Where you buy through the Apple App Store or Google Play:
We may change prices. We will give you notice before a change affects your renewal, and you may cancel if you don't accept it.
Product information comes from third-party sources including Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, UPCitemdb and USDA FoodData Central, and from product manufacturers. Some of it is contributed by members of the public. We do not verify it, we do not control it, and we do not warrant that any of it is accurate, complete, or current.
Ingredient text may be machine-translated, which introduces further error. Scores are generated from that data and inherit every flaw in it. Where you find something wrong, please report it in the app — it helps everyone.
Nectar participates in the Amazon Associates Programme and may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through links in the app. This costs you nothing extra. Commission does not influence product scores, which are calculated from ingredient data alone by rules that have no knowledge of whether a product is purchasable through us.
Nectar, its name, logo, design, scoring methodology, databases and software are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you a licence to use the app, not ownership of anything in it.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely, without obligation or compensation to you.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of Nectar at any time. We may change these terms; if a change is material we will notify you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and continued use afterwards is acceptance. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and the app depends on third-party services that may fail or change without notice.
You may stop using Nectar and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these terms, if we suspect fraud or a risk to others, or if we discontinue the service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law — do survive it.
NECTAR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THAT, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT PRODUCT DATA, INGREDIENT LISTS, ALLERGEN INFORMATION, TRANSLATIONS, OR SCORES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER NECTAR NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE NECTAR, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
THIS EXPRESSLY INCLUDES ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON A PRODUCT SCORE, AN INGREDIENT LIST, AN ALLERGEN WARNING OR ITS ABSENCE, A TRANSLATION, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION IN THE APP — INCLUDING ANY ALLERGIC REACTION, ILLNESS, INJURY, OR ADVERSE HEALTH OUTCOME.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THAT PERIOD, OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50).
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that applicable law prohibits us from excluding. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the app or your violation of any law or third-party right. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or negligence.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts located in Orange County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer in the EU, UK, or another place whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, that right is unaffected.
Before starting formal proceedings, please email us — most things are resolved faster that way.
[Decide with a lawyer whether to include a binding arbitration clause and class-action waiver. These are common for US-based apps and can meaningfully limit exposure, but they are unenforceable against consumers in the UK and EU, are regulated state by state in the US, and must be drafted to the applicable rules. Deliberately left out rather than guessed at.]
If you obtained Nectar from the Apple App Store, the following applies and prevails over anything inconsistent above:
If you obtained Nectar from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. These terms are between you and us only, not with Google, and Google is not responsible for Nectar or for any claim relating to it.
