Terms of Use
These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and the provider of the Berosh app:
Beroshapp – Halil Zınar Düzgün (sole trader)
Johann-Strauß-Straße 12, 82008 Unterhaching, Germany
E-mail: info@beroshapp.com · Phone: +49 172 5740559
("Beroshapp", "we", "us")
They apply when you use the Berosh mobile app. You accept them when you create an account or buy a subscription.
1. Who can use Berosh
You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher). If you are under 18, you need the permission of a parent or legal guardian to buy a subscription.
2. The service
Berosh is an AI-powered meal planning and nutrition tracking application rooted in Kurdish, Anatolian, and Middle Eastern culinary heritage. Features include AI-generated personalised meal plans, menus for a guest table, fridge scanning, recipes from a photo, recipe search, a cooking assistant, an AI nutrition assistant (chat), food logging by photo, voice or barcode, a food diary, nutritional tracking, a weekly report, and a cultural calendar of seasonal dishes.
The app is available in two tiers: a Free tier and a paid Premium subscription. Feature access varies by tier and is shown within the app.
3. Subscriptions, purchase and payment
Note for App Store reviewers: Berosh offers an auto-renewable Premium subscription processed via Apple In-App Purchase and Google Play Billing. Subscription title, length, and price are displayed on the paywall screen before purchase. Links to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy are accessible on the paywall screen and in app Settings.
3.1 Who you buy from
You buy Premium through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Depending on your country, the store either sells to you in its own name (for example Apple Distribution International Ltd. in the EU, the UK, Türkiye and India, or Apple Services Pte. Ltd. in Korea) or collects the payment on our behalf as our agent. The store's terms apply to payment, billing, refunds and family sharing; these Terms apply to the app and the service. In all cases we provide the service, support and updates. Subscription management is handled via RevenueCat; we never see or store your payment card details.
3.2 Premium, free tier and free trial
Berosh Premium unlocks advanced meal plans, detailed nutritional analytics and expanded premium content. The price, the billing period (monthly or annual) and, if offered, the length of a free trial are shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. The Free tier gives access to core features at no charge.
3.3 Renewal and cancellation
Premium renews automatically for the same billing period (one month or one year) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. A free trial turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. You can cancel at any time:
- iPhone: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Berosh → Cancel Subscription
- Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Berosh → Cancel
- In the app: Profile → "Cancel or manage subscription" takes you directly to the store page.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Premium until then.
3.4 Your right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days (in Brazil: 7 days). For purchases through the App Store or Google Play, use the store's withdrawal or refund function:
- Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com, or Purchase History → "Withdraw Transaction"
- Google: play.google.com → Order history → Request a refund, or Google's withdrawal form
You can also tell us by e-mail to info@beroshapp.com; we will help you through the store process. Store refund policies do not limit your statutory rights.
3.5 Price changes
We may change the price for future billing periods if our costs change (for example for AI providers, hosting, store fees or taxes) or when we add substantial new features. We will tell you at least 30 days in advance in the app or by e-mail, with the reason. Where the law or the store requires your consent, the new price applies only if you agree in the store's or the app's consent screen; if you do not agree, your subscription ends at the end of the current period at the old price. In all other cases you can cancel before the new price applies.
4. AI-generated content and health information
Berosh gives general nutrition and cooking information using artificial intelligence (language and speech models from OpenAI). It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. AI outputs can be wrong or incomplete: check ingredients, allergens and amounts yourself, and talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before major changes to your diet, especially if you have a medical condition or an allergy. Photos, recordings and messages you send to AI features are processed by OpenAI on our behalf, as described in our Privacy Policy. Our liability follows Section 9.
5. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current information when creating your account
- Notify us immediately at info@beroshapp.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account
- Not share your account credentials or transfer your account to another person
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the app for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
- Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law permits it (for example sections 69d and 69e of the German Copyright Act)
- Upload content that is harmful, defamatory, illegal, or infringes third-party rights
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorised access to the app's servers or infrastructure
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to extract data from the app
- Use content generated by Berosh to train or improve AI or machine-learning models
- Circumvent subscription enforcement or share paid Premium access with other users
7. Intellectual property
The Berosh app — including its name, logo, design, cultural food database, and all content created by us — is the intellectual property of Beroshapp and is protected by German and international copyright law. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
Content you create within the app — including meal entries, custom recipes, personal notes, and recipe reviews together with any photos you attach to them — remains your property. This content is private to your account and is not shown to other users. You grant us a limited licence to store and reproduce it solely to provide the features you use, for as long as you keep the content; the licence ends when you delete the content or your account. You are responsible for the content you submit and confirm you have the rights to it, and we may remove content that violates Section 6.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we process your data.
9. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and under any guarantee we have given.
For slight negligence we are liable only if we breach an obligation that is essential for providing the service and on which you may regularly rely, and then only for the damage that is typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract. Otherwise we are not liable for slight negligence.
Your statutory rights if the app or a digital service is defective (for example under sections 327 ff. of the German Civil Code) are not affected. We provide updates, including security updates, as required by law.
These limitations also apply to our representatives and assistants. They do not apply where the law of your country does not allow them (for example the guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or Japan's Consumer Contract Act for intent or gross negligence).
10. Changes to the service
We may change or stop individual features if there is a valid reason — for example new technology, security, legal requirements, changes by our AI or store providers, or improving the app — and only at no extra cost to you. If a change noticeably impairs your access to or use of Premium, we will tell you by e-mail or in-app message in good time beforehand, explaining the change, and you may cancel free of charge within 30 days of the notice or of the change, whichever is later. Changes to the Free tier are announced in the app.
11. Ending the contract
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time (see Privacy Policy §7). Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription — cancel it in the store (Section 3.3). We may suspend or end your access for a serious breach of these Terms, normally after a warning; we may end a free account with 14 days' notice. Sections 7 (Intellectual property), 9 (Liability), 13 (Applicable law and courts) and 14 (Apple and Google) survive the end of the contract.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms when features, providers or the law change. We will show you the new Terms in the app at least 30 days before they take effect, with the changes highlighted. They apply only if you accept them. If you do not accept, you can keep using the app under the current Terms until your subscription period ends, or cancel. Changes that are only to your advantage, or that the law requires, apply without your consent; we will tell you about them.
13. Applicable law and courts
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you habitually live.
If you are a consumer, you can bring proceedings against us in Germany or in the courts of the place where you live; we can bring proceedings against you only in the courts of the place where you live. Mandatory rules on jurisdiction remain unaffected.
We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
14. Apple and Google
If you downloaded Berosh from the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store Usage Rules (including Family Sharing).
- We, not Apple, provide maintenance and support.
- If the app does not meet a warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price; Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- We, not Apple, handle any claims relating to the app (product liability, failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection, privacy).
- We, not Apple, handle any claim that the app infringes third-party intellectual property.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on a US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Our contact details are at the top of these Terms.
- You must follow third-party terms (for example those of your network provider) when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
If you downloaded Berosh from Google Play: Google's Developer Distribution Agreement and the Google Play Terms of Service take precedence where they conflict with these Terms on payment matters.
15. Additional terms for your country
These additions apply if you live in the country named. Where they conflict with the rest of these Terms, they prevail.
- United States: If you live in California, New York or another state that requires it, we will remind you before an annual subscription renews (New York: 15–45 days before the cancellation deadline) and notify you before a material change or price increase (New York: at least 5 business days and at most 30 days before). New York residents will not be charged a higher price without their consent unless they can cancel within 14 days of the charge and receive a pro-rata refund.
- United Kingdom: Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You may bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, depending on where you live.
- Australia: Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies those rights.
- Türkiye: Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection applies. You may apply to the consumer arbitration committee or the consumer court at your place of residence within the limits announced each year. You can cancel your subscription at any time, as easily as you subscribed.
- Brazil: You may withdraw within 7 days of purchase (CDC Art. 49). You may bring disputes in the courts of your domicile. Clauses limiting liability do not apply where the Consumer Defence Code prohibits them.
- India: Grievance Officer: Halil Zınar Düzgün, Owner, info@beroshapp.com, +49 172 5740559. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within one month.
- Republic of Korea: Before a free trial converts to a paid subscription or a price increases, consent is requested as required by the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce. You may bring disputes before a competent Korean court.
- Japan: The limitations in Section 9 apply only where we did not act intentionally or with gross negligence. Seller information under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions is at the top of these Terms; prices and payment timing are shown in the App Store or Google Play before purchase.
- Québec (Canada): Québec law and the Québec courts apply to the extent required by the Consumer Protection Act; we will give you written notice of changes, and you may cancel without charge.
16. Final provisions
If a provision of these Terms is invalid, the rest remains valid and the statutory rules apply instead. These Terms are available in several languages; each language version is binding for users of that language.
