PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE MANA WORLD APPLICATION. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE APP, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE APP.

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Mana World LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Mana mobile application and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). These Terms are concluded between you and the Company only, and not with Apple, Inc. The Company, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content. These Terms may not provide for usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly permit individuals under 13 to create accounts or use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

2.1 What Mana Does

Mana is a consumer product safety and wellness platform that allows users to scan, search, and evaluate food, cosmetic, supplement, and household products. The App uses proprietary scoring algorithms to generate safety and nutritional scores for products based on ingredient lists, formulations, and other available data.

2.2 Proprietary Scoring System

Our scoring methodology - including the CASCADE scoring architecture, DETECT ingredient flagging system, and RISS (Risk-Informed Safety Scoring) system - and all related algorithms are proprietary, subject to pending patent applications, and provided as an informational tool only. Scores represent our analytical output based on available data and do not constitute professional advice of any kind. Product formulations and regulatory classifications may change at any time; we do not guarantee the real-time accuracy of any product data.

2.3 Not Medical or Professional Advice

IMPORTANT: THE MANA APP IS AN INFORMATIONAL TOOL ONLY. NOTHING IN THE APP- INCLUDING ANY SCORE, RATING, FLAG, OR RECOMMENDATION - CONSTITUTES MEDICAL ADVICE, NUTRITIONAL ADVICE, DIETARY GUIDANCE, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. DO NOT USE THE APP AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTATION WITH A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, REGISTERED DIETITIAN, OR OTHER LICENSED PROFESSIONAL. ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION ABOUT YOUR DIET, HEALTH, OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT. THE APP DOES NOT DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE OR HEALTH CONDITION. THE APP DOES NOT IDENTIFY ALL ALLERGENS OR INGREDIENTS. DO NOT RELY ON THE APP TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PRODUCT IS SAFE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES, SENSITIVITIES, OR INTOLERANCES. ALWAYS READ PRODUCT LABELS CAREFULLY AND CONSULT A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER REGARDING FOOD ALLERGIES BEFORE CONSUMING ANY PRODUCT.

The Company expressly disclaims any and all liability for decisions you make based on information provided by the App. Users are solely responsible for consulting appropriate professionals before relying on any App output for health or safety decisions.

2.4 Community Features and User-Generated Content

The App includes community features that allow users to submit product reports, ratings, and other user-generated content. To maintain a safe and reliable community environment, the App provides the following safeguards required by Apple App Store Guidelines (Guideline 1.2):

  • A mechanism to filter and report objectionable or inaccurate community content
  • A mechanism for users to report offensive, harmful, or misleading content for review. We review reports of offensive or harmful content in a timely manner and reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or to suspend or terminate the accounts of repeat offenders.
  • The ability to block abusive or harassing users from interacting with your account
  • Published contact information for support and abuse reporting: privacy@checkwithmana.com

By submitting community content, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content to operate, improve, and promote the Service. You represent that your submitted content is accurate to the best of your knowledge, does not violate any third-party rights, and does not contain false, misleading, defamatory, or harmful information.

3. Subscriptions, Billing, and Payments

3.1 Free and Paid Tiers

The Service may be offered in both a free tier with limited features and one or more paid subscription tiers with expanded functionality. Available features for each tier are described within the App and are subject to change.

  • Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price

We may offer free trial periods for paid subscriptions. If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged accordingly. Cancellation instructions are provided in Section 3.4.

3.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to paid features through the end of that period. We do not issue refunds for partial billing periods except as required by applicable law or Apple's refund policies.

3.5 Refunds

All refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. The Company does not process refunds directly. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support.
