Terms of Service

1. What Yummika is

Yummika is an information service. You tell us your allergies, dietary preferences and religious requirements, and we compare dishes and menu items against them using information provided by venues, publishers and our own research process. We show you what conflicts, flag ingredients travellers often miss, and give you cards and questions to use with a kitchen.

2. Food safety — please read this

Yummika does not certify that any food is safe for you, and cannot. A result such as “no conflicts found” means only that nothing in the information available to us matched your profile. It is not a guarantee, a medical opinion, or a substitute for asking the kitchen.

Our information can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, because:

• recipes vary between venues and change over time;
• kitchens substitute ingredients without updating anything;
• cross-contamination can occur even when a dish contains no listed allergen;
• some of our ingredient data is generated by AI and reviewed by a human, not verified in the kitchen;
• venues describe their own capabilities, and we cannot inspect them.

If you have a severe or life-threatening allergy: always tell the kitchen directly, ask about ingredients and preparation, and carry your prescribed medication. Your decisions about what to eat must be based on confirmation with the venue — not on this service alone.

Yummika is not a medical service and does not give medical advice. Speak to a qualified clinician about managing your allergies.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 to hold an account. Yummika is currently invitation-only; invitations are for you and should not be resold. Keep your password secure and tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to your account. You are responsible for activity under your account.

Give us accurate dietary information. We can only work with what you tell us, and an incomplete profile produces incomplete results.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• scrape, bulk-copy or resell our dish, ingredient or venue data;
• submit false information about a venue or a dish;
• use the service to harass venue staff or other users;
• attempt to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the service;
• present Yummika’s output as a safety certification to anyone else.

5. Content you contribute

Reviews, meal check-ins, corrections, dish requests and community posts remain yours. By posting them you allow us to use them to run and improve the service, including showing them to other travellers where that is the obvious purpose. Do not post anything you do not have the right to share.

Corrections and check-ins genuinely improve accuracy for everyone, and we may act on them — but we review before changing anything that affects a verdict.

6. Venues

Venues listed on Yummika describe their own dietary capabilities. We verify what we reasonably can, but we do not inspect kitchens and we are not responsible for what a venue serves you. Any arrangement you make with a venue is between you and them.

7. Credits and paid features

Some features consume credits. Credit balances have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and may expire if your account is closed. If we introduce paid plans, we will set out the terms before you are charged anything.

8. Early access

Yummika is in early access. Features may change or be withdrawn, data coverage is uneven between regions, and you may encounter errors. Please report anything that looks wrong — particularly anything concerning an allergen.

9. Our liability

The service is provided on an “as is” basis. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of Yummika, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the previous twelve months or ₹1,000.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

10. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, or that submits information which could put other travellers at risk. We will normally tell you why.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you before it takes effect. Continuing to use Yummika after that means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
