Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 17-Sep-2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms — Welcome to MAHA (Mother Approved Health Advisor). These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our mobile app, professional interface, and related services (the Platform). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. You must accept these Terms when you create an account.
2. What MAHA Is — MAHA is a food and ingredient awareness platform. You can scan a product to see an ingredient review, understand concerns based on your preferences, explore healthier alternatives, join a community, and connect with registered dieticians and nutritionists. MAHA provides education, tools, and community. It is not a medical provider and does not provide medical, nutritional, or professional advice itself.
3. Not Medical Advice — MAHA is designed for ingredient awareness and health education. Product reviews, ingredient information, processing scores, community content, and any warnings are for general informational purposes only and are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. MAHA is not a substitute for professional medical or nutritional care. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your health, allergies, and dietary decisions, and in an emergency contact your local emergency services right away.
4. Ingredient and Product Information — We work to provide useful and accurate ingredient and product information, but product formulations change, labels vary, and databases can be incomplete or out of date. Ratings and concerns are guidance to support your own judgment, not a guarantee about any product. Always read the actual product label, especially if you have an allergy or a serious health condition.
5. Eligibility — You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Family profiles for children aged 12 and older may only be created and managed by a parent or guardian. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 or older and that the information you provide is accurate.
6. Your Account — You are responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure. You agree to provide accurate information, verify your account when asked, and not share your account or impersonate others. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account, including family profiles you manage.
7. Family Profiles — Family profiles let you manage scanning preferences for household members, including children aged 12 and older. As the account holder, you are responsible for the profiles you create, for having the right to add each person's information, and for supervising any child profile in line with COPPA and applicable law.
8. Professionals and Consultations — MAHA connects you with independent, registered dieticians and nutritionists. Professionals are responsible for their own advice, credentials, and services, and any professional relationship is between you and the professional. MAHA verifies professional details where possible, including through NPI lookup, but does not employ professionals and is not responsible for the guidance they provide.
9. Professional Accounts — If you register as a dietician or nutritionist, you agree to provide accurate credentials and complete verification, and you are responsible for the advice and services you offer. You may appear on the Platform before verification, but will not receive a verified badge until verification is complete. We may review, suspend, or remove professional accounts that violate these Terms or our standards.
10. Payments, Commissions, and Subscriptions — Consultation payments are processed through the Platform and may be held in escrow until the consultation is confirmed, with a commission applied. Professionals may buy subscriptions or featured placements for added visibility. Prices, commissions, and plan details are shown before purchase and may change over time. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, and disputes are handled through the Platform.
11. Community Rules and Moderation — MAHA includes a community for sharing experiences and discussing ingredients. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, misleading, or that shares another person's private or medical information. Community content is user-generated and follows a post-moderation model with reporting tools. We may review, hide, or remove content, and suspend accounts, that violate these Terms.
12. Reviews, Sharing, and Referrals — Only verified users may leave reviews for professionals, and reviews must be honest and fair. You can share scan results, recommendations, and referral links through supported platforms. You are responsible for what you choose to share, and referral rewards, where offered, are subject to our rules.
13. Advertising — The Platform includes promotional banners and advertisements from health-focused partners. Any logged-in user may apply to advertise, subject to our approval. Advertisers are responsible for their content and claims, and inclusion of an ad does not mean MAHA endorses the product or service.
14. Acceptable Use — You agree to use the Platform lawfully and not to misuse it. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access, disrupt the Platform, reverse engineer it except where allowed by law, scrape data, upload harmful code, impersonate others, submit false product data, or use the Platform for any unlawful or harmful purpose.
15. Intellectual Property — MAHA, including its name, design, software, databases, and original content, is owned by MAHA or its licensors and is protected by law. Except for the rights we grant you to use the Platform, and your own content, you receive no ownership of the Platform.
16. Your Content — You keep ownership of the content you create, such as posts, comments, images, and reviews. By sharing content, you grant MAHA a license to host, display, and share that content on the Platform to operate the service. You confirm you have the right to share what you post.
17. Third-Party Services — The Platform relies on third-party services, including hosting, payment providers, social sign-in, verification services, and advertising providers. Your use of features powered by these services may also be subject to their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.
18. Service Availability and Changes — We work to keep the Platform available and reliable, but we do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may add, change, or remove features as the Platform develops.
19. Disclaimer of Warranties — The Platform is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about the Platform, product or ingredient information, professional guidance, community content, or any health results, and we disclaim all implied warranties. You are responsible for your own health and dietary decisions.
20. Limitation of Liability — To the fullest extent permitted by law, MAHA and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any decision, health outcome, or loss arising from your use of the Platform, reliance on ingredient or product information, professional guidance, or community content.
21. Indemnification — You agree to hold MAHA and its operators harmless from claims, damages, and costs arising from your use of the Platform, the content you share, information you add about family members, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of others.
22. Termination — You may stop using the Platform and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Platform and its users. Provisions on content license, disclaimers, and limitation of liability continue after termination.
23. Governing Law — These Terms are governed by the laws of United States, without regard to conflict of law principles
24. Changes to These Terms — We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version on the Platform and update the effective date below. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
