Please read carefully.
These Terms include a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver in Section 17 that affect your legal rights. They also contain important disclaimers about AI-generated content, food safety, and limitations on our liability. By using FridgeSpy you agree to all of them.
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "your", or "User") and Dream Holdings LLC, an Indiana limited liability company with its principal place of business at 5474 US Hwy 6, Portage, IN 46368, United States ("FridgeSpy", "we", "us", or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the FridgeSpy mobile and web applications, websites at fridgespy.com and any related subdomains, application programming interfaces, AI features, and other products and services we provide (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, clicking "I agree", installing the Service, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.
1. Eligibility
The Service is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher; for example, 16 in parts of the European Economic Area). Users under the age of majority in their jurisdiction must have permission from a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on their behalf.
You represent and warrant that (a) you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; (b) you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction (including U.S. export controls and sanctions administered by OFAC); and (c) if you accept these Terms on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you have authority to bind that entity.
2. Accounts and security
You must create an account to use most features of the Service. You agree to (a) provide accurate, current, and complete registration information; (b) maintain and promptly update that information; (c) keep your password and any third-party sign-in credentials confidential; and (d) be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
Notify us immediately at matt@fridgespy.com of any unauthorized access, suspected breach, or loss of credentials. We are not liable for losses arising from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your account.
3. License grant
Subject to your continuing compliance with these Terms and timely payment of any applicable fees, FridgeSpy grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use on devices you own or control. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4. Acceptable use
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:
- use the Service in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
- upload, transmit, or generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, fraudulent, or that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
- upload images of people without their consent or in violation of biometric or wiretap laws;
- introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code; attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the Service or any network or device connected to it;
- probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, breach any security or authentication measure, or bypass rate limits, usage quotas, or access controls;
- scrape, crawl, harvest, mirror, or otherwise extract data from the Service except through interfaces we expressly authorize;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, or otherwise attempt to discover source code or underlying ideas, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law;
- copy, sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service or any portion of it;
- use the Service to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine-learning model, large language model, or competing product;
- use bots, scripts, or automated means to interact with the Service in a way that imposes an unreasonable load;
- remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices on the Service.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, investigate, and remove content or terminate accounts we reasonably believe violate this Section 4.
5. AI features and food-safety disclaimer
The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine-learning models (including third-party models offered through the Lovable AI Gateway, Google's Gemini family, and similar providers) to (a) extract line items, dates, and totals from receipt photographs; (b) identify objects, quantities, and likely freshness from photographs of refrigerators, freezers, and pantries; (c) read barcodes and parse product labels; (d) estimate or predict expiration dates; and (e) generate recipes, meal-prep plans, shopping lists, and related guidance from your inventory (collectively, "AI Output").
AI Output is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. It may contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, outdated information, or biased or unexpected results. It is not medical, nutritional, dietetic, allergen, food-safety, or professional advice and must not be relied upon as such. You are solely responsible for:
- independently inspecting and verifying every food item in your home before consuming it, including its actual expiration date, condition, and storage history;
- checking ingredient lists for allergens, dietary restrictions, intolerances, religious or ethical concerns, and interactions with medications or medical conditions;
- following safe food-handling, cooking, storage, and reheating practices (including USDA guidance at foodsafety.gov);
- using your own judgment about what is safe and appropriate to eat or serve to others.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FridgeSpy disclaims all liability for foodborne illness, allergic reaction, injury, or other harm resulting from reliance on AI Output or on inventory tracking provided through the Service. When in doubt, throw it out.
You represent that any image, text, or other material you submit ("Inputs") does not violate any law or third-party right and that you have all rights necessary to submit it. You are responsible for the prompts and inputs you provide and for how you use any AI Output.
6. User content and license to us
The receipts, photos, item lists, notes, ratings, recipes, household memberships, and other content you submit to or generate through the Service are "User Content". As between you and FridgeSpy, you retain all ownership rights in your User Content.
You grant FridgeSpy a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers) license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, modify, create derivative works of, and display your User Content solely (a) to operate, provide, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service for you; (b) to comply with law; and (c) to create aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you or any other individual. We do not use your User Content to train general-purpose AI models, and we do not sell your User Content.
You also grant other users with whom you share a household or list a limited license to view and interact with the User Content you share with them through the Service.
7. Subscriptions, fees, billing, and refunds
Certain features are offered on a paid basis under plans we make available from time to time, including FridgeSpy Free, Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly, and Pro Lifetime (collectively, "Paid Plans"). Prices, features, and usage allowances are described at the point of purchase and may change prospectively on notice to you.
Merchant of Record. Our reseller and Merchant of Record for orders is Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"). Paddle handles checkout, payment processing, billing inquiries, tax determination, invoicing, fraud screening, chargebacks, and refunds. Your purchase is also governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms and Paddle's privacy notice.
Auto-renewal. Subscription Paid Plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price using your saved payment method, until cancelled. You authorize FridgeSpy and Paddle to charge that payment method on a recurring basis. You may cancel at any time from the Account screen in the app or via Paddle's customer portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you retain access until then. Lifetime plans are a one-time payment with no recurring charges.
Free trials and promotional codes. If you start a free trial, your Paid Plan will begin automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel beforehand. Promotional codes are non-transferable, may be limited in number, and may expire.
Taxes. Prices are exclusive of applicable sales, use, value-added, goods and services, and similar taxes, which Paddle will calculate and add at checkout where required.
Refunds. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on first purchases of any Paid Plan. To request a refund, contact Paddle at paddle.net or email matt@fridgespy.com within 30 days of the charge. Renewals, additional users, and consumed AI scan credits are not generally refundable except where required by law (including statutory withdrawal rights in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, which you may exercise by emailing us).
Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback rather than requesting a refund, we may suspend your account pending resolution and recover associated fees.
8. Third-party services
The Service integrates with or relies on third-party services, including Paddle (payments), Supabase (hosting and database), the Lovable AI Gateway and underlying AI providers such as Google (AI processing), Open Food Facts (public barcode database), Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging (notifications), and email-delivery providers. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of third parties.
Affiliate links. FridgeSpy may show links to retailers such as Walmart and Amazon for ingredients you're missing or items on your shopping list. Some of these are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Purchases, prices, availability, delivery, and returns are handled entirely by the retailer under its own terms.
AI assistant integrations (MCP). FridgeSpy can connect to third-party AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude through our MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. When you connect an assistant, you authorize it to access your kitchen data as described in our Privacy Policy. Those assistants are separate services governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for what they do with data you choose to share through them. You can disconnect the integration at any time.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, interface, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, recipes we author, course content, and underlying technology, is owned by FridgeSpy or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, and other laws. "FridgeSpy" and the FridgeSpy logo are trademarks of Dream Holdings LLC. You may not use them without our prior written consent.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.
10. Copyright and DMCA
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512. To submit a notice, provide our designated agent the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material with its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf, and your physical or electronic signature. Send notices to matt@fridgespy.com or by mail to Dream Holdings LLC, Attn: DMCA Agent, 5474 US Hwy 6, Portage, IN 46368. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
11. Service availability and modifications
We strive to keep the Service operational but do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, throttle, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes to paid features.
12. Beta features
We may offer features designated as "beta", "preview", "experimental", or similar ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided "as is" for evaluation purposes, may be modified or removed at any time, may contain bugs or errors, and are excluded from any service-level commitments or warranties.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the Account screen, which initiates deletion in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, failed to pay fees when due, posed a security or legal risk, or engaged in fraudulent or abusive activity, or if we are required to do so by law.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 6, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18) will survive.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL AI OUTPUT AND ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FRIDGESPY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL FRIDGESPY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, USE, OR FOOD, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FRIDGESPY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 APPLY ON A CUMULATIVE BASIS, NOT PER INCIDENT.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FridgeSpy and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your User Content or Inputs; (b) your use or misuse of the Service or AI Output; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right. We may assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with our defense. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent.
17. Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class action waiver
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
17.1 Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at matt@fridgespy.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days.
17.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the Excluded Claims below, you and FridgeSpy agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect, with one arbitrator. The seat of arbitration is Indianapolis, Indiana; for consumer claims under US$25,000 the arbitration may be conducted by telephone, video, or solely on written submissions at your election. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
17.3 Class action waiver. You and FridgeSpy agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of Section 17.2 is null and void, and the dispute will proceed in court under Section 17.6.
17.4 Excluded Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an individual action in small-claims court for a dispute within that court's jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights.
17.5 30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of Sections 17.2 and 17.3 by sending written notice to matt@fridgespy.com within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms, including your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
17.6 Court proceedings. If the arbitration agreement is found inapplicable or unenforceable, you and FridgeSpy agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Porter County, Indiana, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
18. Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and, where applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Nothing in this Section overrides mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.
19. Notices and electronic communications
You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email, in-app messages, and push notifications. Notices to you may be given via the email associated with your account or by posting in the Service. Notices to us must be sent to matt@fridgespy.com with a copy by mail to Dream Holdings LLC, 5474 US Hwy 6, Portage, IN 46368, USA.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide additional notice (such as an email or in-app banner) at least seven (7) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and may close your account.
21. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order forms or product-specific terms we present at purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and FridgeSpy regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, governmental action, labor disputes, internet or utility outages, or third-party service failures.
U.S. government users. The Service is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" pursuant to FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.
Export controls. You may not use or export the Service in violation of U.S. export laws or any other applicable export-control or sanctions regulations.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and FridgeSpy.
