Terms of Use & Food Safety

Last updated November 8, 2026

Ripe Tonight is operated by Lexcraft Technologies LLC ("we", "us"). These terms apply when you use Ripe Tonight. Please also read our Privacy Policy.

1. Not food safety or medical advice

Ripe Tonight gives general, estimated reminders and recipe ideas. It is not a substitute for your own judgment, product labels, or professional food safety, nutrition or medical advice. Estimated use-by dates and AI-identified items may be inaccurate.

2. You are responsible for what you eat

• Inspect every food before eating. When in doubt, throw it out.
• Store food properly and keep your fridge at or below 40°F (4°C).
• Cook food to safe internal temperatures (e.g. poultry 165°F / 74°C, ground meat 160°F / 71°C, fish 145°F / 63°C).
• Check every recipe for allergens and ingredients you can't eat, even if you set allergy filters.

3. No liability for illness or harm

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ripe Tonight and its owners are not liable for any foodborne illness, food poisoning, allergic reaction, injury, or other loss arising from your use of the app, its estimates, or its recipes. The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

4. Expiry alerts and notifications

Ripe Tonight may notify you when an item has about 2 days left. Alerts are a convenience only. They may be late, missed, or based on wrong dates (for example if your browser blocks notifications, your device is off, or a date was misread). Food can spoil before its date, and some food is safe after it. Never rely on an alert, or the absence of one, to decide whether food is safe to eat.

5. Food poisoning and allergic reactions

By using the app you accept that you alone decide what to eat and serve to others, including children, pregnant people, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system, who are at higher risk of foodborne illness. If you or someone you fed feels sick after eating, contact a doctor or poison control right away. You agree not to hold Ripe Tonight responsible for any illness, food poisoning, allergic reaction or other harm.

6. Plans and billing

The Free plan includes the daily dinner card and 2 photo scans per month. Plus costs $5 per month or $48 per year and adds unlimited scans and extra features. New Plus subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial; you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. You can cancel anytime; access continues until the end of the period you paid for.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Payment, billing, tax, cancellation and refund terms are set out in Paddle's Buyer Terms.

7. Refunds

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with Plus, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your order. Refunds are processed by Paddle — request one at paddle.net or by contacting us.

8. Your account

Keep your login secure. Don't misuse the service, upload others' private images, or try to break it. We may suspend accounts that do.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
