Terms of Use

Last Updated: 06/02/2025

Welcome to WasteLess (the "Service"), an application designed to help you track product expiry dates. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the WasteLess website, application, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by WasteLess, based in Ukraine ("we," "us," or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you may not access or use the Service. You must be at least 12 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age required to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Description of Service

WasteLess allows users to:

  • Register and manage a user account (via email/password or Google/Notion OAuth).
  • Input product information manually or via image upload/barcode scanning.
  • Store product details including name, barcode, category, production dates, expiry dates, notification dates, notes, and associated images uploaded by the user.
  • View shared, generic product images associated with scanned barcodes (if found).
  • Receive notifications based on set dates (via Google Calendar and/or Notion, as configured by the user).
  • View, search, filter, and manage their product list via a dashboard.
  • Submit feedback regarding the Service, optionally including screenshots.

The Service utilizes third-party services, including but not limited to Supabase for database and authentication, Google Gemini for image analysis (barcode/date extraction), Cloudflare R2 (or similar) for image storage, GitHub for feedback issue tracking, Monobank for payment processing, and Google / Notion for optional authentication and notifications.

3. User Accounts

  • Registration: You may need to register for an account to access certain features. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information updated.
  • Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account password and for any activities or actions under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
  • Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of the data you input into the Service.
  • Age Requirement: You must be at least 12 years old to create an account and use the Service.

4. User Content and Data

  • Definition: "User Content" means any information you provide or upload to the Service, including product details (names, dates, notes, categories), barcodes, and images you upload for your specific products or as feedback screenshots.
  • Ownership: You retain ownership of your User Content.
  • License: By using the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., resize images, format data), process (e.g., analyze images with AI), display, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service.
  • Data Accuracy & AI Disclaimer: While we utilize tools like AI (Google Gemini) to assist with extracting barcodes and dates from images, we do not guarantee the accuracy of this automatically extracted information. Accuracy depends heavily on image quality (clarity, framing, lack of distortion). You are responsible for verifying and correcting any information associated with your products before relying on it. You may choose to input data manually instead of using the AI features.
  • Storage: Your product data is stored using Supabase. Images you upload for your specific products are stored using Cloudflare R2 (or similar) in a user-specific manner, accessed via signed URLs. Feedback screenshots are stored in a separate R2 bucket; these images are intended primarily for viewing within the context of private GitHub issues created from your feedback. We also maintain a separate storage bucket for shared product images that may be displayed based on barcode scans. We utilize browser local storage for caching non-sensitive data to improve performance.
  • Privacy: Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Service is described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Upload, post, or transmit any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
  • Upload or transmit any content that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships.
  • Upload or transmit any content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights of any party.
  • Upload or transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation.
  • Upload or transmit any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies, or regulations of networks connected to the Service.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Service, through password mining or any other means.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Service or any part thereof, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
  • Use the image upload or AI processing features for images unrelated to product tracking (e.g., landscapes, people, QR codes, inappropriate content) or for images of poor quality likely to yield inaccurate results.
  • Submit feedback screenshots containing sensitive personal or confidential information.
  • Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law.
