Terms of Use
Last updated: 26 October 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the SCADO mobile app ("SCADO"), provided by 255bit.it di Matteo Pelladoni, Via Gerole 25/B, 46010 Redondesco (MN), VAT no. 02719740207, info@255bit.it ("we", "us"). By installing or using SCADO you agree to these Terms; if you do not agree, do not use the app. The subscription is bought through the App Store or Google Play, which also apply their own terms.
Important: food-safety disclaimer
SCADO is an organizational aid that helps you keep track of dates you enter. SCADO does not determine whether any food is safe to eat and is not medical, health, nutritional, or food-safety advice. Always rely on your own judgment, the product label, and the manufacturer's guidance. When in doubt, throw it out.
License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use SCADO on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the rules of the app store you downloaded it from.
Subscription and free trial
- Using SCADO's features requires an active, auto-renewing Premium subscription, bought in the app through the App Store or Google Play. The price and billing period are those shown in the app before purchase, in your currency and including VAT, as provided by the store.
- If the store offers you the 14-day free trial, the trial starts when you subscribe and you pay nothing during it. When the trial ends, the subscription automatically becomes paid and the first charge is made at the end of the trial, unless you cancel before then. On the App Store, cancellation must happen at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Unless cancelled, the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings: cancelling stops future renewals, and access stays active until the end of the current period.
- Trial eligibility and billing are determined by the store, which is the source of truth. Eligibility does not depend on the device clock, reinstalling, or clearing app data.
- Without an active trial or subscription, SCADO enters a locked state: your data is preserved and you can always export or delete it. Reactivating Premium unlocks the app with your data intact.
Refunds
Payment and billing are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play): we do not collect payments and cannot issue refunds. Refund requests, and any withdrawal where the law and the store terms provide for it, are submitted to the store, which decides under its own rules: for the App Store at reportaproblem.apple.com, for Google Play through the process at support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637.
Cancelling the subscription stops future renewals, but on its own it does not trigger a refund. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
Legal guarantee of conformity
If you are a consumer, you are entitled to the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services under Articles 135-octies et seq. of the Italian Consumer Code and the consumer law of your country. Nothing in these Terms limits that guarantee. To report a defect, write to info@255bit.it.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse SCADO, interfere with its operation, or attempt to circumvent the store billing system.
Intellectual property
SCADO, its name, and its content (excluding third-party data) are owned by us or our licensors. Product catalogue data is provided by Open Food Facts under the ODbL license.
Recognition accuracy
Without prejudice to the legal guarantee of conformity, we do not warrant that barcode and date recognition will always be correct, or that Open Food Facts data is complete or up to date. The app asks you to confirm a recognised date before saving it: always check the information.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable damages, or for losses arising from using the app to decide whether food is safe, an assessment SCADO does not provide. This limitation does not apply to wilful misconduct or gross negligence, to personal injury, or in any other case where the law does not allow liability to be limited. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer.
Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms to reflect changes in the law, the service or the store rules; the "Last updated" date will change accordingly. Material changes will be clearly flagged on this website with reasonable notice and do not apply to subscription periods already paid. If you do not accept them, you can cancel your subscription at any time from the store.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy and the European Union, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence. Disputes with a consumer fall under the courts of the place where the consumer resides or is domiciled.
