Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-31

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Yummylogy.com (the “Site”) and the YummyLogy Scanner mobile application (the “App”). By accessing or using the Site or App, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use them.

1. What this site does

Yummylogy is an editorial site that features kitchen tools, gadgets, and cookware available for sale on Amazon.com. We do not sell products directly. When you click a “Buy on Amazon” link, you are taken to Amazon.com, where any purchase is a transaction between you and Amazon (or the third-party seller listed on Amazon). See our Affiliate Disclosure for details on how we earn revenue.

2. Permission to use the Site

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

You agree that you will not:

  • Copy, reproduce, or republish content from the Site without our permission
  • Scrape, harvest, or systematically download content using automated tools without our written consent
  • Use the Site in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, any related systems, or other users’ accounts
  • Use the Site for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, including us

3. Intellectual property

The original content on this Site — including our editorial text, curation, layout, and any Yummylogy branding — is owned by us and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Product titles, descriptions, images, and other product-specific content are sourced from Amazon’s Product Advertising API and remain the property of Amazon, the product manufacturers, or other respective rights holders. Their inclusion here does not imply our ownership or endorsement by those parties.

4. About product information

We make a good-faith effort to present accurate product information, but the information shown on the Site (titles, descriptions, prices, images, availability) is sourced from Amazon and may be out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate at the time you view it. Prices and availability on Amazon change frequently; the live Amazon listing is always the source of truth for what you will pay and receive.

We do not personally test every product featured on the Site. Product recommendations reflect our editorial judgment based on publicly available information and should not be treated as professional advice. Verify all details on Amazon before making a purchase.

5. Purchases, returns, and disputes

Because purchases are completed on Amazon, all matters relating to the purchase — including payment, shipping, taxes, returns, refunds, warranty claims, and customer service — are governed by Amazon’s terms and the policies of the relevant seller. We are not a party to your purchase and have no ability to assist with order issues. Please contact Amazon or the seller directly.

6. Third-party links and content

The Site contains links to third-party sites (primarily Amazon.com). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site, and inclusion of a link does not imply our endorsement. You access third-party sites at your own risk.

6A. YummyLogy Scanner mobile app

These clauses apply specifically to your use of the YummyLogy Scanner mobile application.

6A.1 What the App does

The App lets you scan a UPC barcode or photograph an ingredient label on a food product. Based on the resulting ingredient list, the App returns a verdict (Approved / Caution / Not Approved), a quality tier where applicable, and a breakdown of the ingredients we recognize and why we flag them. Verdicts are computed from our internal rules engine and reflect our editorial opinion based on publicly available science and regulatory data from authorities including the U.S. FDA, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Health Canada, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

6A.2 Verdicts are opinions, not medical, dietary, or regulatory advice

Verdicts displayed by the App are editorial opinions, not medical, dietary, regulatory, or professional advice of any kind. The App is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, dietitian, allergist, or other licensed professional. Do not rely on App verdicts to manage allergies, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or any health-related decision. Always read the actual product label, and consult appropriate professionals for advice specific to your circumstances. Ingredient data sourced from third parties (including Open Food Facts) may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Allergy and intolerance sufferers must verify ingredients directly with the manufacturer.

6A.3 License to use the App

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the Apple App Store’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (which is incorporated here by reference).

You agree that you will not:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except as permitted by law
  • Use the App in any way that interferes with other users or our backend systems
  • Attempt to extract our database, rules engine, or API keys, or use the API in ways not contemplated by these Terms
  • Submit content (photos, videos, captions) that you do not own or have permission to use, that infringes anyone’s rights, or that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, or harmful
  • Submit content that misrepresents a product, contains personal information about other people without their consent, or shows minors

6A.4 User-submitted reviews (photos, videos, captions)

If you submit a review through the App — whether a photo, a video, or a caption — you represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to that content, and that the content does not violate anyone’s rights or any law.

By submitting content to the App you grant Yummylogy a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable, non-exclusive license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display the content in any media formats and through any channels — including in the App, on the Site, in our marketing materials, on social media, and in editorial or promotional contexts — with attribution to you only where we choose to provide it (we generally do not). Video submissions are automatically watermarked with “yummylogy.com” on your device before upload. You may request removal of your reviews by emailing us per the Privacy Policy.

6A.5 Anonymous device identifier

The App generates and stores an anonymous device identifier (UUID) in the iOS Keychain to rate-limit submissions and to associate your reviews with the device that submitted them. This identifier is not linked to your Apple ID, name, email address, or any other personal information. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

6A.6 Affiliate links

The App’s “Shop from your favorite store” section contains affiliate links to Amazon product pages. When you tap a product and complete a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, Yummylogy earns from qualifying purchases. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

6A.7 App availability and updates

The App is provided through the Apple App Store. We may release updates that change functionality, fix issues, or improve performance. Apple may require you to install updates to keep using the App. We may discontinue features, change API behavior, or end-of-life the App at any time on reasonable notice.

7. Disclaimers

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of information. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

We make no warranties about the products or services available on Amazon or any other third party. Any such warranties are provided (or disclaimed) by the seller, manufacturer, or relevant third party.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Yummylogy, its owners, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for any direct damages arising from your use of the Site is limited to one hundred US dollars (US $100).

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Yummylogy and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Yummylogy is based, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that state, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page or via other reasonable means. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
