Terms and Conditions of Use
Last updated: May 2026
This document constitutes a legally binding contract between the end user (hereinafter, the "User") and the legitimate owner of the intellectual property rights of the WhatEat application (hereinafter, the "Licensor"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the WhatEat mobile or web application (hereinafter, the "Application"), the User expressly and unconditionally accepts all terms and conditions set forth herein.
1. Nature of the Contract: Software License
This document does not constitute a contract for the provision of services, advice, consulting, or continuous technical assistance. The legal relationship established between the Licensor and the User is strictly an Intellectual Property License of Use. The Licensor does not assume the obligation to perform any labor, professional, or service activity in favor of the User, but only grants the technical right of exploitation and visualization of a pre-existing digital scientific and technical work.
2. Grant of License and Scope of Use
The Licensor grants the User a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited license to use the Application on their compatible devices, exclusively for personal and non-commercial purposes. The material scope of this license comprises solely and exclusively:
- Access to the graphical interface and automated nutritional calculation algorithms included in the executable code of the Application.
- The technical query of the nutritional database synchronized on the platform, which is provided in a static and packaged manner for its automated exploitation by the software.
3. Delimitation of Rights and Restrictions
For greater clarity on the scope of the intellectual property granted, the following differentiation of access rights and restrictions of use is established:
| Rights Granted to the User | Strict Intellectual Property Restrictions |
|---|---|
| View the menus, recipes, and automated distribution of macronutrients calculated by the Application. | Reverse engineering, decompilation, source code extraction, or disassembly of the Application is prohibited. |
| Use the internal search engine to query the nutritional information of foods in the database. | Mass extraction, data scraping, or cloning of the database for purposes external to the Application is prohibited. |
| Access advanced features ("Premium") by acquiring the corresponding temporary subscription license. | Redistribution, sale, rental, sublicensing, or commercial exploitation of the name, logo, code, or contents of WhatEat is prohibited. |
The User acknowledges that they do not acquire any ownership rights over the software, trademarks, or database, whose exclusive ownership corresponds at all times to the Licensor.
4. Exclusion of Professional Advice and Warranties
The Application and access to its database are provided strictly "as is" and "as available" (as is). The Licensor offers no warranties of any kind regarding the infallibility of the software or the absolute accuracy of the nutritional data provided in an automated manner.
5. Commercial Regime and Access Management
Access to certain advanced features of the Application requires the acquisition of a temporary payment license under the recurring subscription modality (monthly or annual). The collection, billing, charging, and management of taxes derived from these licenses are carried out in their entirety through a third-party independent provider acting as the Merchant of Record.
The User acknowledges that the payment of the corresponding fee solely covers the temporary right of access to the "Premium" software features and does not entitle them to demand offline personalized technical support, custom developments, or any type of labor benefit from the Licensor.
6. Duration, Cancellation, and Refund Policy
The extended license of use ("Premium") will remain in force during the period contracted by the User (month-to-month or year-to-year). The User may terminate this license agreement at any time by canceling their subscription through the channels enabled by the Merchant of Record, which will stop automatic renewal.
Given the strictly digital nature of the product subject to the license (supply of digital content not provided on a material medium), the User expressly consents that the right of withdrawal and refund will not be applicable once the download, access, or execution of the advanced features of the software has begun, in accordance with consumer protection legislation for digital goods.
7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This license agreement is governed in all its aspects by current Spanish legislation. For the resolution of any dispute, conflict, or claim arising from the interpretation or execution of this document, the parties expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the city of Córdoba, Spain, formally waiving any other jurisdiction that may correspond to them.
