Introduction
Clearya is a browser extension (the "Extension"), cloud-based software and data, a website (available at: www.clearya.com, the "Website"), applications for iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices (the "Mobile App"), and service, which are intended to help individuals make informed choices about their exposure to product ingredients and/or substances which may pose a health (together "Clearya") by displaying information (the "Warnings") about such ingredients.
The purpose of these terms of use (the "Terms") is to regulate the relations between the developer and operator of Clearya, Covalent Bits™ Ltd. ("Us", "Our", or "We") and any person and/or entity using Clearya and the Our Service.
It is hereby clarified and agreed that We provide the Service and display Warnings according to information that Clearya receives from third parties (such as ingredient lists published by online retail websites, brand websites, product package/label photos and videos received from users), and according to information in publicly available third party chemical databases, chemical hazard lists, product-testing lab data, and other third party sources (together the “Hazard Data”), and therefore shall have no liability for any inaccuracy and/or false information you may receive regarding a certain product or its ingredients, and in case of any inaccuracies, all claims You may have should be addressed to such third party website and/or any other entity which provided information on a certain ingredient or product and You shall have no claims and/or demands against Us including, but not only, in case of exposure to potentially hazardous products.
Note that while Clearya may highlight information regarding a product's specific ingredients, or display related products which ingredient lists exclude certain ingredients (“Related Products”), Clearya does not make any representations about any product. References to any manufacturer, retailer, product name or trademark do not constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or a positive or negative safety or health assessment by Clearya.
The use of Clearya is restricted solely to lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes by individuals, in accordance to these Terms and the Privacy Policy and according to any applicable law.
By using Clearya, You agree to be bound by the Terms and the Privacy Policy. If You do not agree with all or part of the Terms and the Privacy Policy, please remove the Extension and the Mobile App, leave the Website, and refrain from any use of Clearya.

Definitions
Disclaimer, Liability and Limitation of Liability
Clearya makes reasonable efforts to provide current and useful Content. However, You should be aware that product ingredients processed by Clearya are obtained from third party websites (such as online retail websites and brand websites) and from product package/label photos and videos received from users, and may be partial, misspelled, or otherwise different than the actual ingredients of the product being sold; that the Hazard Data used by Clearya do not encompass all possible health risks and may contain debatable classifications; and that these Hazard Data are updated periodically and may not always be up to date.
Since Clearya does not control the content of the third party websites or product package/label photos and videos it processes nor the accuracy of the third party Hazard Data, which together form the input for providing its Service, and since science, regulations, and product formulations are in constant change, Clearya cannot guarantee providing fully accurate analysis at any point in time. Therefore, Clearya explicitly disclaims all warranties expressed or implied, as to the Service and its operation, and as to the Warnings and other Content's accuracy, completeness, or reliability, whether presented or omitted (including for example the accuracy of product ingredient lists, and the correctness of Warnings or their lack thereof). Clearya displays information on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.
Warnings displayed by Clearya may include ingredient risk classification, certainty level and restrictions (for example, restriction by certain use or concentration), all given as published by their referenced source. Other than making this information available to You, Clearya cannot assess whether it applies to the ingredient's concentration in a specific product or to the way an ingredient is used in a specific product. It is Your responsibility to decide whether the Warning or information applies to your situation and to the specific product. Clearya provides only general knowledge and may not be considered as a replacement for Your personal judgment regarding a certain product.
Clearya disclaims any liability for any consequences due to use, misuse, or interpretation of Clearya and data presented or omitted by Clearya. In no event shall Clearya or its officers be liable for any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to special, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, or damages for lost profits, loss of revenue, or loss of use, arising out of or related to Clearya, the Service or Content. The User is responsible to ensure that any product purchased by the User satisfies the User's requirements and expectations.
Any use of Clearya should be solely for basic indication made by third parties of potentially unsafe ingredients in certain products and may not be considered as health consulting, environmental health consulting, expert opinion, medical advice, recommendation or any commitment that a specific ingredient or product is hazardous or, on the contrary, that such ingredient or product is safe. Clearya is not a replacement for the User's independent judgment regarding products consumed and/or purchased by the User.
We do not guarantee You that any of Your actions using Clearya will provide You with any immunity from health risks, and You are aware of the risks of Your use and reliance on Clearya including the fact that Clearya cannot ensure protection from potentially-hazardous ingredients or products.
