Terms of Service for Lychee

Last Updated: September 28, 2026

Effective Date: September 28, 2026

Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Lychee mobile application ("App," "Service," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Lychee is provided by Maksym Horoszczak, operating Lychee, Domaniewska 47, 02-672 Warszawa, Poland. For help, use the Lychee support form. Full legal contact details are in Section 18.

These Terms form an agreement between you and Maksym Horoszczak. For purchases made through Apple or Google, the relevant store’s purchase terms also apply. For web purchases, Maksym Horoszczak is the seller; RevenueCat and Stripe provide billing and payment infrastructure, not the Lychee service.

1. Description of Service

Lychee is a product scanner and ingredient explainer for food and cosmetic products. The App may help you:

Lychee is not a medical service, allergy-management service, diet program, nutrition coach, cosmetic safety certification service, or substitute for reading product labels yourself.

We may collect limited usage analytics through PostHog and limited advertising attribution events through the Meta/Facebook SDK to monitor performance, understand onboarding and feature usage, measure ad campaign performance, and improve the Service as described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility and Account

You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 years old if you are in the European Economic Area where required, to use the App. If you are a minor, you must have permission from a parent or guardian.

Lychee does not currently require user registration. Most day-to-day App data is stored locally on your device.

3. License and Use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

4. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

Product formulas, labels, packaging, and database entries can change. Lychee may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong.

5. Product Contributions

If you submit product information, images, labels, ingredients, nutrition facts, cosmetic ingredients, or corrections:

6. Premium Subscription

6.1 Plans and payment providers

Premium includes the features described in the offer you choose, such as AI-powered explanations, advanced food and cosmetic analysis, and ad-free scanning. The offer shows the subscription period, total price, currency, applicable taxes, and any trial before you confirm payment. A monthly or weekly equivalent shown for an annual plan is a comparison, not a monthly or weekly payment schedule.

Premium may be purchased through Apple App Store, Google Play, or our web checkout where offered. Web checkout uses RevenueCat Billing and Stripe payment processing. Web purchases are separate from Apple and Google subscriptions. Availability and pricing can differ by region and payment route; you pay the price confirmed in the checkout you select. Lychee does not receive your full card number or security code.

6.2 Trials and automatic renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. If you qualify for a trial, checkout shows its length, the date paid billing begins, and the recurring price. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. Trial eligibility is confirmed by the payment provider; a trial shown elsewhere does not guarantee eligibility.

For Apple subscriptions, cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or current subscription period. For Google Play and web subscriptions, cancel before the renewal or trial-end time shown by the provider. Any applicable store rules also apply. Renewal reminders are helpful, but you should use the billing date in your subscription details rather than rely on receiving a reminder.

6.3 Managing or canceling

Cancellation stops future renewal; it does not itself request a refund. Access normally continues through the paid period, or through the trial where the provider permits it. A refund, chargeback, or failure to pay may end access earlier. If a renewal payment fails, access may end after any applicable grace period. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.

6.4 Restore and new-device recovery

Use Restore for App Store and Google Play purchases with the same store account. For a web purchase, open the purchase recovery/redemption link from your email on the device where you want to use Lychee. You do not need a Lychee password. Keep access to the email address used at checkout, including the address selected with Apple Pay. Treat recovery links as private: they can grant access to your subscription. Restoring Premium restores subscription access; it does not transfer locally stored scan history, profiles, or saved products.

If you cannot recover access, use the Lychee support form with your purchase email or support reference. Do not buy another subscription to restore an existing one. Uninstalling the App does not delete billing records or cancel payments.

6.5 Refunds, billing problems and consumer rights

App Store refund requests are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google Play purchases, use Google’s refund process or contact us for assistance. For web payments, duplicate charges, failed access, or refund requests, use the Lychee support form. Include your purchase email or support reference, but never send a full card number, security code, or password.

We review web refund requests under applicable law and the circumstances of the purchase. We will explain whether access and future renewals will end when a refund is made. No term here limits mandatory consumer rights, including any applicable withdrawal or remedies for a non-conforming digital service. A trial does not replace those rights.

If you are an EU/EEA consumer and a statutory withdrawal right applies, you normally have 14 days from concluding the contract to notify us that you wish to withdraw, unless a lawful exception applies. You may contact us at the email or postal address in Section 18 with a clear statement identifying the purchase. Merely using the App does not by itself waive a statutory withdrawal right. Any request for immediate performance or acknowledgment required by law must be obtained separately where applicable.

7. Medical, Allergy, Nutrition, and Cosmetic Disclaimer

Lychee is an informational tool only.

Lychee is not:

You must:

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for allergic reactions, adverse health events, cosmetic reactions, injuries, illness, death, incorrect information, missing allergens, product formulation changes, cross-contamination, or reliance on App content.

8. Accuracy and Availability

We try to provide useful information, but we do not guarantee:

Use the App at your own risk.

9. Intellectual Property

The App and its content, features, design, code, branding, databases, and algorithms are owned by Lychee or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Third-party content and services may include:

Each third-party service has its own terms and privacy policies.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us the right to use them without compensation or attribution.

10. Privacy and Data

Your privacy is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Key points:

Please review the Privacy Policy for complete details.

11. Advertising

Free users may see advertisements served by Google AdMob. Ads may be selected based on device information, app context, and other information handled by Google according to its policies.

We may use the Meta/Facebook SDK to measure whether Instagram/Facebook ads lead to installs, trials, checkout, or subscription events.

To remove in-app ads, subscribe to Premium if available.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it and canceling any active subscription.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time if you violate these Terms, misuse the App, submit unlawful content, fail to pay for Premium, or if we discontinue the Service.

Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including disclaimers, limitations of liability, intellectual property, privacy, product contribution rights, and dispute provisions.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, completeness, uninterrupted operation, and error-free operation.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages; loss of data; loss of profits; personal injury; illness; death; emotional distress; or damages arising from use of or inability to use the App.

Nothing in these Terms creates liability where the law does not impose it, and nothing limits rights that cannot legally be limited. If, despite the disclaimers above, applicable law allows a claim and requires us to be responsible, our total liability will not exceed the amount you actually paid Lychee for Premium in the 3 months before the claim. If you used only free features, our total liability is limited to $10, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lychee, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, your violation of third-party rights, content you submit, or your use of App information to advise someone else as if it were professional medical, nutrition, allergy, cosmetic, or safety advice.

15. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Poland, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

For U.S. users, disputes may be resolved through binding arbitration where enforceable, rather than in court, except for small claims court matters, intellectual property disputes, and injunctive relief requests. You agree to resolve disputes individually and not as a class action where permitted by law.

For non-U.S. users, disputes will be resolved in the courts of the Republic of Poland unless applicable law requires otherwise.

16. Platform-Specific Terms

Apple App Store

If you download the App from the Apple App Store:

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last Updated" date and may provide in-app notice for material changes. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

18. Contact Us

For subscription help, refunds, privacy requests, or complaints, use the Lychee support form or our contact page. Please describe the issue and include the purchase email or support reference if relevant. We will respond without undue delay and within any legally required period.
