These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Ripely mobile application ("the App") operated by Gian Federspiel, Switzerland ("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Ripely is a food inventory tracking app that helps you monitor expiry dates, reduce food waste, and discover meal ideas. The App uses AI to generate personalised meal suggestions based on your pantry contents, and supports shared households between users you invite.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at gian.federspiel@bluewin.ch if you suspect unauthorised access.
You must not create accounts by automated means or under false pretences. You can delete your account at any time in the App (Profile → Delete Account).
The App allows you to create or join a shared household with other users. By joining a household, you agree that other members can see your display name and can view, edit, and use your shared inventory items (for example, cooking a meal reduces shared quantities). Items you mark as private are not visible to other members.
Invite codes grant access to your household — share them only with people you trust. If you leave a household, your items return to your personal pantry; nothing is deleted.
Meal suggestions, expiry guidance, and food-related tips presented by Oli (our AI-powered assistant) are generated automatically and are intended as a general guide only. This content is not professional nutritional, dietary, allergy, or food safety advice.
Always use your own judgement when assessing whether food is safe to eat, and always check ingredients yourself if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. Nutritional values shown in the App are AI-generated estimates and may be inaccurate. Expiry dates are based on information you or your household members entered, or on typical shelf-life estimates — we cannot verify their accuracy.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any illness, injury, or loss arising from reliance on AI-generated suggestions or expiry information.
The App and all its content, features, and functionality (including the Ripely name, the Oli character, design, and code) are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
You retain ownership of the data you enter into the App (your inventory, saved recipes, etc.). By using the App you grant us a limited licence to store and process that data solely to provide the service.
The App integrates with third-party services including Supabase (data storage and authentication), Anthropic (AI), Resend (email delivery), and Apple/Google (sign-in). Your use of those services is also subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.
The App is distributed through Apple's App Store. These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App and is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for intent or gross negligence under Swiss law.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account in the App.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is the operator's domicile in Switzerland, subject to any mandatory statutory forums.
