- estimation of nutritional values such as energy, carbohydrates, sugar, fat and protein;
- information about the composition and nutritional characteristics of meals;

- nutrition-related classification of foods and ingredients using the analysis features available at the relevant time;
- suggestions for alternative ingredients, recipes and preparation methods;
- creation of shopping lists;
- adjustment of recipes and ingredient quantities according to the selected number of servings;
- comparison of estimated nutritional values with general reference values;
- storage and management of certain analysis results where this feature is offered and enabled by the user.
(3) Not all features are necessarily available at all times, in every region or in every language. The actual scope of services is determined by the features currently made available in the Application.

§ 3 Use of Artificial Intelligence and Limitations of Analysis
(1) Sebafood uses artificial intelligence and automated calculation methods to analyse images and generate nutrition-related information.
(2) Results are generated automatically and may be incomplete, inaccurate or incorrect. In particular, ingredients, quantities, preparation methods, hidden ingredients and nutritional values cannot always be reliably determined from a photograph.
(3) Nutritional information, serving sizes, recipe suggestions and other assessments are generally estimates and guidance unless expressly identified as verified information from a specified reliable source.
(4) Sebafood does not guarantee the complete or error-free identification of ingredients, allergens, additives, contamination or other components of a food or meal.
(5) Users must independently verify information relevant to their decisions, particularly by consulting packaging, ingredient and allergen lists, manufacturer information or, where appropriate, the provider of a meal.
(6) Where an analysis is uncertain, Sebafood may request additional information, display several possible results or indicate that an analysis is uncertain.
(7) AI-generated content will be identified as such where required by applicable law.
---
§ 4 No Medical Advice
(1) Sebafood is intended for general nutrition information and personal guidance.
(2) Sebafood does not replace a medical examination, medical diagnosis or treatment, or individual advice from appropriately qualified professionals.
(3) Nutrition-related assessments do not constitute medical confirmation of suitability, diagnosis or safety.
(4) Individual reactions to foods can vary considerably. A meal presented by Sebafood as generally suitable or favourable may nevertheless be unsuitable for an individual user.
(5) Persons with allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, special dietary requirements or medically prescribed diets should discuss relevant decisions with appropriately qualified professionals and independently verify ingredients.
(6) Sebafood is not intended for medical emergencies. Appropriate medical assistance should be sought in the event of acute health concerns.

§ 5 Registration and User Accounts
(1) Certain features require the creation of a user account.
(2) Users must provide accurate information when registering. Access to certain features may require successful verification of the user’s email address.
(3) Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and must take reasonable measures to prevent unauthorised access.
(4) A personal user account may not be transferred or made available to third parties without the provider’s consent.
(5) Users must meet the legally applicable minimum age for use of the service. Where consent from a parent or legal guardian is legally required, the service may only be used with such consent.
(6) The provider may refuse registration or restrict or suspend an account where there is an objectively justified reason to do so, subject to applicable contractual and statutory requirements.

§ 6 Free Analyses
(1) Sebafood may provide users with a free analysis allowance.
(2) Where provided for in the applicable offer, newly registered users who have successfully verified their email address may receive three free analyses.
(3) The introductory free allowance is generally granted only once per eligible email address.
(4) An entitlement to free analyses exists only to the extent expressly promised in the applicable offer.
(5) Free allowances may be subject to technical, security-related or anti-abuse usage limits.
(6) Unused free analyses cannot be redeemed for cash and are generally not transferable to another user account.
(7) Creating multiple accounts or otherwise circumventing limitations on free allowances for abusive purposes is prohibited.
(8) The introduction or modification of paid services does not automatically create a payment obligation for existing free users.

(1) Sebafood may offer paid analysis-credit packages and other expressly identified paid digital services.
(2) A paid contract is concluded only through a separate order expressly confirmed by the user.
(3) Before an order is placed, users will be informed in particular of the total price including applicable taxes, the number of included credits or other scope of the service, and the material payment terms.
(4) A Credit is digital analysis credit that can be used within Sebafood.
(5) Credits are not legal tender and do not constitute electronic money. They are generally not redeemable for cash and are not transferable between user accounts unless otherwise required by law or expressly agreed.
(6) When a paid analysis is performed, the number of credits indicated in the Application for that analysis is deducted from the available credit balance.
(7) Where an analysis is not properly completed due to a technical error attributable to the provider, consumed credits may be restored in accordance with technical capabilities and applicable statutory obligations.
(8) Available credit packages and prices are those displayed at the time of purchase. Changes to future prices do not affect purchases already completed.

(2) Details regarding the conditions, time limits and exercise of the right of withdrawal are provided in a separate withdrawal notice.
(3) In the case of digital content or digital services, the right of withdrawal may expire early under the conditions prescribed by applicable law. This may in particular require the consumer’s express consent to performance beginning before the end of the withdrawal period and the confirmations required by law.
(4) Merely accepting these Terms does not result in the loss of a statutory right of withdrawal.
(5) The specific order process and immediate use of purchased credits are additionally subject to the declarations and information presented during checkout.
