Aro Terms
TERMS OF USE
Application: Aro
Last updated: May 2, 2026
Effective date: May 2, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you", "user") and the developer of the mobile application Aro ("Aro", "we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing or using Aro, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Aro.
1. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use Aro. By using the app you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
2. LICENSE TO USE ARO
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Aro on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
3. WHAT ARO DOES
Aro is an informational tool that lets you look up consumer products and ingredients, view aggregated lab-test references, scan product packaging or barcodes with your camera, save items to your local history and read summaries about ingredients. The information presented is for general reference only.
4. NO MEDICAL, NUTRITIONAL OR SAFETY ADVICE
Aro is not a medical device. The content and scores in the app are NOT medical, dietary, allergen, nutritional, pharmacological or safety advice and must not be used as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Always read the manufacturer's label and consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions based on the app. We do not guarantee that lab results, ingredient lists or scores are complete, current or error-free.
5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, FREE TRIALS AND BILLING
• Aro offers auto-renewing subscriptions purchased through your Apple ID via the Apple App Store. Available durations and prices are shown inside the app on the paywall and confirmed by Apple at checkout.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Subscriptions and auto-renew can be managed and cancelled at any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your Apple device. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
• If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. You can cancel the trial at least 24 hours before it ends to avoid being charged.
• Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policy. We have no control over refunds for App Store purchases.
6. RESTORE PURCHASES
If you reinstall Aro or sign in on a new device using the same Apple ID, you can restore an existing active subscription via the "Restore" option in the paywall or settings.
7. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to:
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify or create derivative works of Aro;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lease or otherwise commercially exploit the app or its content;
• use Aro to violate any law, infringe any third-party rights, or transmit malware or harmful code;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with security or access-control features of Aro;
• scrape, crawl or extract data from Aro or our servers in bulk or by automated means.
8. USER CONTENT
If you take photos or upload images via Aro for product recognition, you represent that you have the right to do so. You retain ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to process such content solely to provide the requested service (for example, to recognize a product or ingredient). We do not claim ownership of your content.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Aro, including its name, logo, design, source code, text, images, graphics, scoring methodology and compilations of data, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer any IP rights to you.
10. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Aro relies on third-party services to operate, including the Apple App Store and the subscription analytics provider Apphud. Their respective terms and privacy practices apply to your use of those services. We are not responsible for third-party services or websites linked from Aro.
11. DISCLAIMERS
AS PERMITTED BY LAW, ARO IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF ARO. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR ARO IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR USD 50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
13. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of Aro, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.
14. TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate your access to Aro at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using Aro at any time by deleting the app. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Sections 9 through 16).
15. CHANGES TO ARO AND TO THESE TERMS
We may update Aro and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes to the Terms, we will indicate the new "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of Aro after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. APPLE-SPECIFIC TERMS (EULA)
You acknowledge that these Terms are entered into between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for Aro or its content. To the extent these Terms conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions ("Apple's EULA"), Apple's EULA will govern with respect to your use of Aro on Apple devices. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
17. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
These Terms are governed by the laws of your country of residence to the extent required by applicable consumer-protection law; otherwise, by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the developer's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rights remain unaffected.
