1. Acceptance

By creating an account and using CompliChef Lite, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, do not use the app.

2. Description of Service

CompliChef Lite is a digital food safety compliance tool for food businesses in the USA. The app enables you to record temperature logs, hot holding sessions, reheating checks, delivery inspections, cooldown records, probe calibrations, cleaning tasks, checklists, and daily diary entries.

Data Location: Your data is stored on servers in the United Kingdom.

CompliChef Lite is designed to assist you in compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records), and state/local health department requirements. However, CompliChef Lite is a tool to support compliance — not a guarantee of compliance. You remain fully responsible for:

The accuracy and completeness of all records entered
Compliance with FDA and state food safety regulations
Maintaining records in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 (if applicable)
Meeting all state and local health department requirements

3. Account & Security

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.

You must promptly notify us of any unauthorised use at support@complichef.me.

Reverse-engineer or decompile the app
Resell or sublicense access to the service

5. Compliance Responsibility

CompliChef Lite is a record-keeping tool. We make no warranty that use of the app alone will ensure full compliance with all applicable food safety legislation. You are solely responsible for:

The accuracy and completeness of all records entered
Ensuring records satisfy your local authority's requirements
Maintaining any additional records required by law
Training staff on correct use of temperature probes and recording procedures
Taking appropriate corrective action when failures are identified

Storing a record in CompliChef Lite does not itself constitute legal compliance.

You retain ownership of all compliance data you enter. By using the service you grant us a limited licence to store and process that data solely to provide the service.

7. Availability & Support

We aim to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Offline functionality ensures you can continue recording data during connectivity outages. Support is provided via support@complichef.me — we aim to respond within 2 business days.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" without warranty. We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any matter that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time via the App Store; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these terms.

Upon termination you may request a data export within 30 days. After this period your data will be handled per our Privacy Policy.
