Terms of Service

VERSION terms-2026-09-02 · EFFECTIVE [LAUNCH DATE], 2026

FINAL TEXT PENDING EFFECTIVE DATE — takes effect at launch.

Please read these Terms carefully. Section 16 contains an agreement to resolve disputes by binding individual arbitration and a waiver of class actions, and Section 05 contains an important food safety notice.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Expired LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Expired,” “we,” “us”), and govern your use of the Expired application and website at expired.app, including our web, iOS, and Android apps (together, the “Service”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information and is part of these Terms. By creating an account, starting a free trial, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

01What Expired is — and is not

Expired is an organizational tool for tracking food and other perishable items in your household: what you have, where it is stored, and when it is likely to expire. It sends reminders, keeps shopping lists, and lets your household share one inventory.

Expired is not a food safety authority, food inspector, manufacturer, retailer, medical provider, nutrition advisor, or recall-monitoring service. We do not monitor recall notices and will not tell you if a product you have tracked has been recalled. Section 05 contains an important food safety notice — please read it.

02Eligibility and your account

  • The Service is intended solely for adults. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to create an account, start a trial, or subscribe. The Service is offered only to residents of the United States. The Service is not directed to children, we do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to create an account, and we will close any account we learn belongs to a minor. If you share a household account, you are responsible for ensuring that every person you invite is also at least 18.
  • You sign in through our authentication provider. You are responsible for safeguarding access to your sign-in method and for activity that happens under your account.
  • Provide information that is accurate where accuracy matters — for example, your email address, which we use for account and subscription communications.
  • The Service is for personal, household use, not for commercial resale or redistribution.
  • You agree to receive account, billing, renewal, and legal notices from us electronically, at the email address on your account or through the app, and you agree that those electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that a notice be in writing. You may withdraw that agreement only by closing your account.

03Households and shared inventories

  • You can invite others to a shared household account. Members can see and change the shared inventory and shopping lists according to their role (owner, admin, or member).
  • If you invite someone, only invite people you trust with your household data. Owners and admins are responsible for managing membership.
  • Anything a member adds to a shared household is visible to the other members of that household. Leaving or being removed from a household ends your access to its data.
  • The household owner is the subscriber. The owner is responsible for the subscription, for the conduct of household members, and for making sure members know that what they add is visible to the rest of the household.

04Subscriptions, free trial, and billing

  • Summary of the automatic renewal terms. Expired is a paid subscription that renews automatically until you cancel. Your free trial lasts one month and converts into a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends. After the trial, you will be charged $4.99 per month for a monthly plan or $39.99 per year for an annual plan, plus any applicable tax, and that charge repeats every month or year until you cancel. Where you bought your subscription determines who bills you and where you cancel. If you subscribed on our website or in our Android app, Polar is the seller, and you cancel from Settings inside the app or from the billing portal link in your confirmation email. If you subscribed inside our iPhone or iPad app, Apple is the seller, and you cancel through the subscription settings in your Apple account. Either way, cancelling stops future charges and does not refund a charge already made, and we will email you a copy of these terms after you subscribe and remind you before each annual renewal.
  • Paid service. Use of the app requires an active subscription or an active free trial. One subscription covers your household.
  • Free trial. New customers get a one-time one-month free trial. The trial is limited to one per person and one per household account, and we may decline a trial where our systems indicate a previous trial was already used. If you subscribe inside our iPhone or iPad app, Apple determines whether you qualify for an introductory offer under its own rules, which may differ from ours. Before your trial starts we will show you the renewal price, the billing frequency, and the date the trial ends, and we will ask you to affirmatively agree to those terms. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the trial converts to a paid subscription and you will be charged.
  • Billing on our website and in our Android app. Payments are processed by our payment provider, Polar, which acts as the merchant and seller of record for these purchases. That means Polar, not Expired, is the party that sells you the subscription, charges your payment method, calculates and remits sales tax and VAT, issues receipts and invoices, and processes refunds. Polar’s terms and privacy policy govern the payment transaction itself; these Terms govern your use of the Service. We never receive or store your full payment card number. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. Prices, billing intervals, and any taxes are shown at checkout before you pay. You authorize Polar to charge your payment method on a recurring basis for each renewal period until you cancel.
  • Billing in our iPhone and iPad app. Subscriptions and scan packs bought inside our iPhone or iPad app are sold through Apple’s in-app purchase system, and Apple is the seller of record for those purchases. Apple charges your Apple account, handles any applicable tax, issues your receipt, manages the renewal, and processes refunds under its own policy. The Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions govern the payment transaction; these Terms govern your use of the Service. We never receive or store your payment details for these purchases. Prices inside the app may differ from prices on our website.
  • Cancellation. You can cancel at any time, online, by yourself, using the same medium you used to subscribe, and without any further step that obstructs or delays you. If you subscribed on our website or in our Android app, there is a cancellation link in Settings inside the app and a billing portal link in your subscription confirmation email, either one cancels immediately, and you can also write to support@expired.app. If you subscribed inside our iPhone or iPad app, cancel through the subscription settings in your Apple account; we cannot cancel an Apple subscription on your behalf, but if you write to us we will tell you exactly where the setting is. We may show you an offer or explain what cancelling means, but if we do, a cancel option will be displayed at the same time and cancelling is one click away. Cancellation stops future renewals; your access continues through the end of the period you already paid for. You will receive an email confirming the cancellation.
  • Refunds. Charges are generally non-refundable, and cancelling stops future renewals rather than refunding the current period. There are exceptions. For purchases made on our website or in our Android app, if you cancel within 3 days of an automatic renewal you did not intend, write to support@expired.app and we will ask Polar to refund that renewal; those refunds are executed by Polar as the seller of record and returned to the payment method used. For purchases made inside our iPhone or iPad app, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policy and must be requested from Apple; we can ask Apple on your behalf, but the decision is Apple’s. In every case we honor any refund required by applicable law, including a full refund of an initial charge where we failed to give you the disclosures the law requires.
  • Scan packs. We also sell a one-time scan pack that adds 100 additional recognition scans to your account for $1.99. A scan pack is a single purchase and not a subscription. It does not renew, you will not be charged again, and there is nothing to cancel. Scan packs are sold through Polar on our website and in our Android app, and through Apple’s in-app purchase system inside our iPhone and iPad app, and the seller of record, refund, and tax rules above apply to a scan pack the same way they apply to a subscription. Scans from a pack do not expire while your account is active, are not transferable, and are not refundable once used.
  • Changes. If we change subscription prices, we will give you advance notice, and the change takes effect at your next renewal. Between 7 and 30 days before any change in the fee takes effect, we will send you a clear and conspicuous notice of the change and information on how to cancel, in a form you can keep. We will do the same before any other material change to the automatic renewal terms. Where the law requires it, a price increase will not take effect unless you affirmatively agree to it; otherwise your subscription continues at the current price until you either agree or cancel.
  • Renewal reminders. If you are on an annual plan, we will email you between 15 and 45 days before each renewal, and at least once a year, to tell you what you are subscribed to, the amount and frequency of the charge, the renewal date, and how to cancel. We send this reminder whether you subscribed on our website, in our Android app, or through the App Store, and we send it in addition to any notice Apple sends you. If we ever offer a free trial or a promotional price lasting longer than 31 days, we will also email you between 3 and 21 days before it ends. We send these reminders in every other case the law requires as well.
  • Records of your consent. We keep a record of the terms you agreed to and of your agreement to them, whichever way you subscribed, and we keep that record for at least three years, or one year after your subscription ends, whichever is longer.
  • Trial and account abuse. We may decline, shorten, or end a free trial, and may suspend an account, if we reasonably believe someone is creating accounts to obtain repeated trials.

05Food safety notice

EXPIRED IS AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL TOOL ONLY. IT DOES NOT DETERMINE WHETHER FOOD OR ANY OTHER ITEM IS SAFE TO USE OR CONSUME. IT IS NOT MEDICAL, NUTRITIONAL, OR FOOD SAFETY ADVICE, AND IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR OWN JUDGMENT OR FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

  • We do not inspect, test, store, sell, prepare, or guarantee any item you track. Timers, badges, and reminders reflect the dates and settings in your account — nothing more.
  • Dates can be wrong. Dates you or your household enter may be mistyped; dates read by AI recognition may be misread; shelf-life defaults and product metadata from third-party sources may be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect.
  • Built-in storage guidance is general information, not a guarantee about any specific item. It is not tailored to your item, your storage conditions, or your household, and it does not account for how an item was handled before it reached you or whether it has been opened, thawed, or left out.
  • You remain responsible for inspecting items, following label instructions and manufacturer and government guidance, and deciding whether to keep, prepare, or discard anything. Never rely on the app as your only basis for a food safety decision.
  • Take special care with high-risk items such as infant formula, baby food, medications, supplements, raw proteins, and allergen-sensitive foods. Official guidance (for example, USDA food product dating) should always take precedence over the app.
  • We do not monitor or notify you of product recalls, contamination notices, or safety alerts. Check the manufacturer, the FDA, and the USDA for that information.
  • If you have a food allergy, a compromised immune system, or any medical condition affected by what you eat, do not use the app as a basis for any decision. Consult a physician. If you think an item has made you ill, seek medical attention.

BY USING THE SERVICE YOU ACCEPT THAT ANY DECISION TO KEEP, PREPARE, CONSUME, OR DISCARD AN ITEM IS YOURS ALONE, AND YOU ASSUME THE RISK OF THAT DECISION.

06AI recognition features

  • Features like photo recognition, expiration-date reading, and receipt scanning use third-party AI providers to turn your photo into a suggestion. Details are in the Privacy Policy. When you use one of these features, the photo you captured is sent to an AI provider — currently OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Cloud Vision — for the sole purpose of producing the result you asked for. Under our agreements with those providers, your content is not used to train their models.
  • AI output is an estimate. It can misname items and misread dates. Review and correct suggestions before relying on them — reminders are only as good as the dates behind them.
  • These features are optional; you can always enter items manually.
  • Fair use limits. Recognition features are subject to the usage quotas published in the app, and the current quotas are shown there. We may adjust these limits, and may throttle or suspend access to recognition features, to keep the Service available and to prevent abuse. We will give notice of a material reduction in quota that affects a paid subscription.

07Your content

  • You own the content you put into the Service — item entries, notes, photos, receipts, and lists (“Your Content”).
  • You give us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and back up Your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you and your household. We do not use Your Content for advertising and do not sell it. We will not use Your Content in marketing without your explicit permission. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that remain in routine backups until those backups cycle out, and except for product contributions covered below. We do not use Your Content to train artificial intelligence models, ours or anyone else’s.
  • Product contributions. If you submit corrections or additions to the shared product catalog (for example, a missing barcode or product name), you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use that contributed product data in the catalog for all users. Contributions describe products, not people; they are reviewed before publication, and we may edit or reject them. Because contributed product facts become part of a shared catalog other users rely on, this license survives deletion of your account. Do not include personal information in a contribution.
  • Only upload content you have the right to upload. You represent that you have the rights necessary to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights.
  • Feedback. If you send us suggestions about the Service, we may use them without restriction and without owing you anything.

08Acceptable use

Do not:

  • break the law, or use the Service to harm others;
  • probe, disrupt, or overload the Service, or bypass its security or access controls;
  • scrape the Service or the product catalog, or resell access to either;
  • upload malicious code or content you lack rights to;
  • abuse free trials (for example, creating accounts to obtain repeated trials);
  • impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
  • use the Service, or any automated tool applied to it, to build or train a competing product or dataset.

09Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party services — for example, sign-in, payments, hosting, and the app stores you install from. Their terms govern your relationship with them. If you install the app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, those stores’ terms also apply. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control, and their availability is not something we can guarantee.

10Apple and Google app store terms

This section applies if you download the app from the Apple App Store. You and Expired acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and Expired only, and not with Apple, and that Expired, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content. Nothing in these Terms creates usage rules for the app that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Scope of license. Your license to the app is a non-transferable license to use it on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or Legacy Contacts.

Maintenance and support. Expired is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app, to the extent we offer it or the law requires it. You and Expired acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the app.

Warranty. Expired is solely responsible for any product warranties, express or implied, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Expired’s sole responsibility.

Product claims. You and Expired acknowledge that Expired, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. Nothing in these Terms limits Expired’s liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.

Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, Expired, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.

Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a region subject to a United States Government embargo or designated by the United States Government as a terrorist-supporting region, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app, including the terms of your wireless data service.

Third-party beneficiary. You and Expired acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Questions, complaints, or claims about the app should be directed to Expired LLC at the address, telephone number, and email in Section 20.

If you download the app from Google Play, Google Play’s terms of service also apply, and Google is not a party to these Terms.

Your use of the app is also subject to the usage rules of the app store you installed it from. Where those rules conflict with these Terms, the store’s rules control for that store.

11Our intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, and the Expired name and marks — belongs to us or our licensors. These Terms don’t grant you any rights to them except the right to use the Service as intended while these Terms are in effect.

If you believe material in the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to dmca@expired.app. We will respond to valid notices and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

12Termination

  • By you: you may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • By us: we may suspend or terminate your access if you materially violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. If we terminate without cause while you have a paid subscription, we will refund the unused portion of the current period. Where practical, we will give you notice before terminating and a chance to export your data.
  • What happens to your data. If your subscription ends, you keep the ability to export your data and to view and restore items in the seven-day recovery window described in the Privacy Policy, whether or not your subscription is active. After that window closes, deleted items are permanently purged.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 05, 07 (product contributions), and 13 through 19 — survive.

13Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DATE, REMINDER, RECOGNITION RESULT, OR PRODUCT INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY NOTIFICATION OR REMINDER WILL BE DELIVERED, DELIVERED ON TIME, OR DELIVERED AT ALL, AND DELIVERY DEPENDS ON SERVICES WE DO NOT CONTROL. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, SPOILED OR CONSUMED GOODS, ILLNESS, OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND THE DISCLAIMERS IN SECTION 13 APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE EXTENT THAT LIMITATION IS NOT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY YOU HAVE UNDER A CONSUMER PROTECTION STATUTE THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED, INCLUDING THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT. THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US.

15Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Your Content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law. This does not require you to indemnify us for any claim to the extent it arises from our own negligence or willful misconduct. We will notify you of any claim we ask you to cover and will let you control the defense, provided you defend it diligently and do not settle in a way that admits fault on our behalf or imposes an obligation on us without our consent.

16Governing law and disputes

  • These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law rules.
  • Before filing a claim, contact us at legal@expired.app — most issues can be resolved informally, and we ask for (and offer) a 30-day good-faith resolution period. Send a short written description of the dispute and the relief you want. Neither of us may start an arbitration or a lawsuit until 30 days after that notice, and the deadline to bring a claim is paused while the 30 days run.
  • Binding individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Expired agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and not in court, except as stated below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may decide the dispute on written submissions or hold a hearing by telephone or video, and either of us may request an in-person hearing, which the arbitrator may order under the Consumer Arbitration Rules. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you live or another location the arbitrator finds reasonably convenient for you. Expired will pay the arbitration filing and administrative fees that exceed what you would pay to file in court for any claim seeking less than $10,000. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and the award may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction.
  • What is not arbitrated. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Either of us may also go to court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or to enforce a judgment.
  • No class actions. You and Expired agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of class proceeding. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the rest of this section still applies.
  • Coordinated filings. If 25 or more similar claims are filed against Expired by or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated group, the claims will be resolved in batches of no more than 50, each batch before a single arbitrator, with the deadline to bring a claim paused for the claims in later batches.
  • Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@expired.app with your name and the email on your account within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Opting out has no effect on anything else in these Terms and will not affect your account.
  • If arbitration does not apply. If the arbitration agreement is held unenforceable in whole, or if you opt out, any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you and Expired each consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there and waive any right to a jury trial to the extent permitted by law.
  • Time limit. Any claim must be brought within two years after it arises. Texas law voids any agreement that shortens the time to sue below two years, so this is the shortest period we can agree to, and where a longer period is required by law that longer period applies.

17Notice to California residents

Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, California users are entitled to this notice. The provider of the Service is Expired LLC, 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78731. To file a complaint or to receive further information about the Service, write to us at support@expired.app. You may also contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

18General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Expired about the Service and replace any earlier understanding. If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect and the unenforceable provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither of us is liable for a failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship, and there are no third-party beneficiaries except Apple as stated in Section 10.

19Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Each version is dated and identified at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you and ask you to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service; if you decline, you may cancel and stop using the Service. A change to Section 16 will not apply to a dispute of which we already had notice.
