6. Your Content
Forage allows you to add your own recipes and meal plans to the app. You retain ownership of any content you create. By adding content to the Service you grant us a limited licence to store and display it to you on your device. We do not claim ownership of your recipes and we do not share them with third parties without your consent.
7. Intellectual Property
All right, title, and interest in the Service, the Forage brand, the recipe library, and related materials belong to us or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Forage name, logo, or trademarks without our prior written consent.
8. Health & Nutrition Disclaimer
The recipes, meal plans, and nutritional information in Forage are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice, dietary prescriptions, or a substitute for advice from a qualified health professional.
Forage draws on naturopathic eating principles as a general framework. Individual nutritional needs vary significantly. Always consult a registered dietitian, naturopath, or medical practitioner before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have a health condition, food allergy, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We do not guarantee that any recipe or ingredient information is free from errors, suitable for your specific dietary requirements, or current (supplier formulations can change without notice).
9. Third-Party Grocer Integrations
Forage integrates with the shopping platforms of Woolworths, Coles, Harris Farm Markets, and other grocers to help you add ingredients to your cart. These platforms are operated by independent third parties. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for their services, pricing, product availability, or terms of use.
Transactions you make through a grocer's platform are subject to that grocer's own terms and conditions. Forage is not a party to those transactions and accepts no liability in connection with them.
10. Subscriptions & Payments
Certain features are available on a paid subscription basis (Forage+ and Forage Pro). Subscriptions are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device, and are subject to their respective payment terms.
- Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- Cancellation: Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. We cannot cancel on your behalf.
- Refunds: Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their policies. We do not issue refunds directly.
- Price changes: We will communicate any price changes with reasonable notice, consistent with platform requirements.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Forage and its founders, employees, and affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage (including loss of data, revenue, or goodwill) arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, or from reliance on any Content.
Where our liability cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, our liability is limited to resupplying the relevant service or paying the cost of having it resupplied, at our election.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for breach of these Terms or for any other reason, with or without notice. You may stop using the Service at any time. On termination, your licence to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 7, 8, 11, 12, and 14 survive termination.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, and you consent to that jurisdiction.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, via email to waitlist subscribers or an in-app notification). Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
16. General
- Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
- Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right does not constitute a waiver of that right.
