Quick read: most apps and services use terms and conditions. Most people don’t have time to read those in full, so we have included a quick read section at the end of each paragraph which we hope is helpful! These terms set out how we would like you to use Samsung Food.

5.1 Uploading Your Content in your use of Samsung Food Services

5.1.1 We are excited to be able to offer you the opportunity to upload and use Your Content in your use of the Samsung Food Services. Please follow the instructions within Your Account as to how to do this.

5.1.2 Once uploaded, Your Content will be available across those Samsung Food Services which support the use of Your Content from time to time and Your Content may also be available on certain third party sites and platforms depending on the settings you apply to Your Account. 

5.1.3 As the Samsung Food Services evolve we anticipate adding more features for the use of Your Content and to enable the use of Your Content on more third party sites and platforms. Where we do so we will tell you about this via Your Account.

Quick read: we are looking forward to seeing what you upload!

5.2 You are responsible for Your Content

5.2.1 You are entirely responsible for Your Content, what it contains and how you use it. This includes ensuring you have sufficient permission from the content originator (e.g. the person originally responsible for producing the content or from whom you have obtained the content) to upload and use Your Content on the Samsung Food Services. We have no involvement in your upload or use of Your Content and cannot and will not take any responsibility or be liable to you for Your Content, what it contains and how it is used.

5.2.2 Whenever you make use of a feature that allows you to upload Your Content to a Samsung Food Service, or to make contact with other users of the Samsung Food Services, you warrant and represent that Your Content complies with our Acceptable Use Standards (set out in clause 7.3 of these Terms).

5.2.3 Because you are entirely responsible for Your Content you agree to bear any loss or damage (and repay a sum to us in respect of that) that we suffer which arises in connection with Your Content failing to, or being alleged to fail to, comply with our Acceptable Use Standards.

5.2.4   We operate a “take down” process with respect to all content on the Samsung Food Services (including Your Content) which we consider does not comply with our Acceptable Use Standards. This means that we can remove any of Your Content at any time from the Samsung Food Services and Your Account without any liability to you. Please see our Copyright Policy for details of our copyright complaint procedure.

Quick read: because you upload content yourself, we do need you to take responsibility for it and please do check out what we think is acceptable in section 8 below. We monitor all content on Samsung Food, but this is only after it has been uploaded. If you see any content which you think is inappropriate before we do then please do let us know!

5.3 How we can use Your Content

5.3.1 We will not own Your Content, but in uploading Your Content to the Samsung Food Services you hereby grant us and other users of the Samsung Food Services an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable licence to use, copy, modify, change, edit, amend, store, display, reproduce and distribute Your Content (whether electronically or in any other media now known or that is subsequently developed) on a worldwide basis in connection with:

(a) our operation and administration of the Samsung Food Services;

(b) making the Samsung Food Services, Your Content and Samsung Food Content available to you and our other users to use; and

(c)  to enable us to develop, enhance and refine the Samsung Food Services over time.

5.3.2 The licence you grant under clause 5.3.1 to use of Your Content will continue even if you deactivate Your Account or your right to access the Samsung Food Services is terminated for any reason.

5.3.3 You may delete Your Content from Your Account at any time. Please follow the directions in Your Account as to how to do so. When you delete Your Content it will no longer be available to view via Your Account, although for technical reasons we may retain copies of Your Content or certain information or data in relation to it.

Quick read: you own all content you upload, but we do need to be able to display it and allow it to be shared by our users in the various ways Samsung Food allows. That is why you grant us a licence. Also, because your content may be shared or copied many times over by other Samsung Food users, we need the licence you grant to us to continue even once you have deactivated your account or deleted your content from it, as those copies may still exist. Behind the scenes we may also keep some data about the content you have uploaded.

6.3.6 The option to purchase a Premium Subscription using Samsung Rewards may be withdrawn or altered by us without prior notice.

6.5 Our Cancellation Rights

6.5.1 We may suspend or terminate your Premium Subscription if we are prevented from providing the services to you, or accepting payment for the Premium Services, by applicable law or for reasons beyond our control, or if Samsung Food ceases to provide the services.

8 Samsung Food content

8.1 Ownership of Samsung Food Content

We use data sourced from the Open Food Facts database (https://openfoodfacts.org) licensed under the Open Database License to provide you with food products data as part of the Samsung Food Services. The Open Food Facts database is an open source, public and collaborative database, and as such we cannot guarantee that the data will be accurate, uninterrupted, error free, perform in any particular manner, give any particular result or be suitable for any particular purpose. You are able to access a JSON file of the Open Food Facts database via. our website, but please note that Samsung Food Content more generally is not licensed on an open source basis.

Other than your rights in Your Content (please see clause 5), all rights in Samsung Food Content shall remain owned by Samsung Food or its licensors, and you shall have no rights in and to the Samsung Food Content save as specifically set out in these Terms.

Quick read: we use an open-source database to provide you with comprehensive data on food products. We create our own content too. We own that, but you can use it!

8.2 How you can use Samsung Food Content

8.2.1 You are entitled to use the Samsung Food Content as may reasonably be required to enable you to access and use the Samsung Food Services for your own personal use and Samsung Food hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-transferable licence of the Samsung Food Content for these purposes only.

8.2.2 The licence granted in clause 8.2.1 does not extend to commercial use. If you or any connected parties wish to use Samsung Food Content for any commercial purpose then you or the relevant connected party must first obtain a specific licence from us or our licensors for such purpose. Neither us nor our licensors will be obliged to grant any such licence.

Quick read: please use our content sensibly and not for commercial use (we charge for that).

8.3 Accuracy of Samsung Food Content

8.3.1 Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that Samsung Food Content is up to date and accurate, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the Samsung Food Content is accurate, complete or up-to-date and we accept no responsibility for any reliance you may place on the Samsung Food Content.

8.3.2 Please note that while we strive to provide accurate expiry dates for items on your Food List, you acknowledge that such expiry dates should be used as a guide only, and it remains your responsibility to ensure that any item on your Food List is safe to consume.

8.3.3 In particular, whilst we make every effort to ensure that all recipes clearly indicate if ingredients contain allergens or similar, it is your responsibility to ensure that such ingredients are suitable for your own allergen or intolerance requirements.

Quick read: we’ll do what we reasonably can to keep our content up to date and accurate. Please check that expiry dates are accurate and that all ingredients are suitable for your own allergen or intolerance requirements – we cannot know everything about you!

8.4 Health and Nutritional Information

8.4.1 You may have the choice to provide Samsung Food with some information about your health, such as your height and weight, in order to receive certain Services. 

8.4.2 You must obtain advice from your healthcare provider before undertaking any changes to your diet or lifestyle.

8.4.3 All Samsung Food Content provided to you, including but not limited to calorie counts, nutritional facts, allergen information and meal plans are not intended to amount to advice on which reliance should be placed. We therefore accept no responsibility for any reliance you may place on the Samsung Food Content.

8.4.4 If you have any dietary preferences, it remains your responsibility to ensure that any Samsung Food Content is suitable for your own requirements.

Quick read: please speak to your doctor or healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or lifestyle. Also, whilst we will do what we can to provide information that will help you achieve your health goals, your health goals and health are personal to you, and as a result we are unable to guarantee that the information we provide is tailored to your circumstances. You should therefore not rely on this information and should ensure that our recommendations are suitable for you.

9 Termination and suspension of your account and access to Samsung Food services

9.1 If, in our opinion, you breach these Terms, and without prejudice to any other rights we may have (e.g. to commence legal proceedings against you), we may:

9.1.1 issue a warning to you specifying that you have breached these Terms and requiring you to rectify the breach;

9.1.2 immediately suspend or terminate your right to use the Samsung Food Services and/or Your Account;

9.1.3 immediately remove (either permanently or temporarily) any of Your Content; or

9.4 Upon termination of your right to access the Samsung Food Services or the deactivation of Your Account your right to access and use the Samsung Food Services, the Samsung Food Content and Your Content shall cease immediately.

Quick read: we really don’t want to, but sometimes we have to terminate or suspend user accounts. Sometimes our users just want to deactivate their account. Both of these things make us sad, but life happens and when that happens sometimes it is best to move on. If we terminate your account or you deactivate it, you will not be able to access Samsung Food although some parts of these terms will still apply – we can’t avoid that, especially as we and other users may need to still use copies of your content (see above).

10 Our liability to you

10.1 If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for any loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or negligence. We do not accept liability for any loss or damage which was not foreseeable.

Quick read: we will comply with our own terms and if you think we have not then please let us know. 

10.2 To the extent we may lawfully do so:

10.2.1 we exclude liability for any implied terms and conditions including those implied by statute, common law or the law of equity; and

10.2.2 we do not give any warranty, representation or other commitment that the Samsung Food Services, Your Content or the Samsung Food Content will be accurate, uninterrupted, error free, perform in any particular manner, give any particular result or be suitable for any particular purpose.

Quick read: thank you for reading this far! We have to say these things so that we can be clear with you about how these terms work. We are an English company so we like to have these terms governed by English law (and you’ll see we use English spellings too – yawn). We may also make changes to these terms over time, and because Samsung Food is free to use we think it is fair that you need to stop using your account or Samsung Food if you don’t agree with the changes. We treat our users with respect and won’t make silly changes for the sake of it.

Thank you for using Samsung Food.
