Terms of service

Last reviewed: 2026-04-28.

1. Subject matter

These terms govern the use of the Pregnancy Lens mobile app and the website at pregnancylens.com. The provider is the entity named in the imprint.

2. What the app is — and isn't

The app is an information service: it translates clinical evidence into a calm per-ingredient verdict for your chosen life stage (pregnancy / breastfeeding / trying to conceive).

The app is not a medical device within the meaning of the EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR). It does not provide a diagnosis, does not provide a personalised therapy recommendation, and does not replace medical advice from your doctor, your midwife, or your pharmacist.

For acute symptoms, concerns, or questions specific to your situation: please consult a healthcare professional.

3. Conditions of use

4. Free use — what's included

Free and without an account:

Free use stays free, forever — we don't show ads and we don't sell data.

5. Premium features (planned for v1.1)

Premium features are not active in the first release. When they unlock, the price in Germany is €6.99 per month or €49 per year (€39 introductory price in the first year). A 7-day trial without a credit card is included at the start. Apple Family Sharing and Google Play Family Library are supported.

6. Apple and Google contracts

When you install the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, the terms of use of Apple or Google additionally apply. Premium subscriptions are billed via Apple's or Google's payment systems; renewal, cancellation, and refunds follow the rules of each store.

7. Your right of cancellation

You can cancel a premium subscription at any time via your app store's subscription management. There is no minimum-term fine print; cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.

8. How verdicts are made

Every per-ingredient verdict is:

When the evidence is uncertain, we say so plainly. A verdict like "Limited data — please discuss with your healthcare provider" is an honest answer.

9. Liability

We strive for accuracy but make no warranty as to the completeness or timeliness of the information provided. The app is not a substitute for medical advice.

To the extent permitted by law, we are liable for damages only in cases of intent and gross negligence, and for breach of material contractual obligations. Liability for slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

These limitations of liability do not apply to injury to life, body, and health, nor to claims under product liability law.

10. Changes to these terms

We notify you of material changes in the app and (if you have provided an email address) by email at least 14 days in advance. You can stop using the service at any time if you don't agree to the changes.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. Jurisdiction is — to the extent permitted by law — at the seat of our company (see imprint).

12. Dispute resolution

The EU Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

13. Severability

Should individual provisions of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory regulation shall replace the invalid provision.
