Junk Scan Terms of Use
Effective date: November 10, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Berry Frozen Yogurt LLC, doing business as Pumjil, Chantilly, Virginia, USA ("we", "us"), for the Junk Scan mobile app ("Junk Scan", "the app"). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
1. What Junk Scan does
Junk Scan reads food barcodes and labels and colors ingredients and nutrition information to help you compare products. Ingredients are shown as red (ingredients we suggest avoiding), yellow (stabilizers, additives and added sugars) or green (whole-food ingredients). Products with 5 or more additives or 3 or more junk ingredients are marked as a "red flag". These colors, labels and counts are our general opinions based on common nutrition guidance. They are not a safety rating, an endorsement or a statement about any company.
2. Not medical or nutrition advice
Junk Scan is for general information only. It is not medical, nutritional or dietary advice and is not a substitute for a doctor, registered dietitian or other qualified professional. Do not use Junk Scan to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease or condition.
3. Allergies and accuracy
Do not rely on Junk Scan for food allergies, intolerances or medical diets. Always read the actual package label. Product information comes from public databases and from AI reading of photos, and it can be missing, out of date or wrong. Manufacturers change recipes, and AI can misread text. Items marked "Estimated by AI" are automated guesses. If something looks wrong, please tap Send feedback so we can fix it.
4. Free scans
New users get 10 free scans (barcode or label). After those are used, you get 5 free scans each calendar month. Free-scan amounts may change, and they are for personal use. Using tricks to get extra free scans, such as repeatedly reinstalling the app or automating requests, is not allowed.
5. Junk Scan Pro subscription
- Plans: Junk Scan Pro is offered as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription at the price shown in the app before you buy. Prices may vary by country and may include taxes.
- Payment: Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase.
- Auto-renewal: Your subscription renews automatically at the same price and length unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Managing and cancelling: You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions) or in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. If you cancel, you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
- Free trials and offers: If a free trial or promotional offer is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- Refunds: Payments are handled by Apple and Google, so refunds follow their policies. You can request one through Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play.
- Restore: If you change phones or reinstall, tap Restore purchases in the app while signed in to the same Apple ID or Google account.
- Price changes: If we change subscription prices, Apple or Google will notify you as their rules require. Changes apply from your next renewal.
6. Fair use
With Junk Scan Pro, barcode scans are unlimited. Label photo scans, which use AI, are unlimited for normal personal use and subject to a fair-use limit of 300 label photo scans per month (30 during any free trial). The limit resets on the 1st of each month, and barcode scanning keeps working if it is reached. The limit exists to prevent abuse and to keep the service affordable for everyone.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the app for anything illegal, or photograph anything other than food packaging and labels;
- copy, resell, rent or redistribute the app or its ingredient ratings;
- reverse engineer the app, or access or overload our servers through bots, scripts or other automated means;
- get around free-scan limits, fair-use limits or subscription checks;
- use the app's results to make false or misleading statements about a product or company.
We may suspend or limit access for anyone who breaks these rules.
8. Our content
The app, its design, the Junk Scan name and logo, and our ingredient list and ratings belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, under these Terms and the app store's rules.

9. Pictures you save or share
Pictures you save with Save picture are yours to keep and share for personal, non-commercial use. Please don't present them as official product ratings or edit them to mislead.
10. Changes and availability
We may update, change or stop features of the app, and we may update these Terms. If we make important changes, we will update the effective date and, where appropriate, tell you in the app. Using the app after changes means you accept them.
11. Disclaimer

12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any health, food or purchase decision you make using the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for Junk Scan in the 12 months before the claim, or US $10 if you paid nothing. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally.
