These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the CheckMyHalal website at checkmyhalal.com ("the Site"), operated by CheckMyHalal ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Description of service
CheckMyHalal is a free informational platform that provides halal status verification for food products, brands, food additives (E-numbers), restaurant chains, and city-level halal dining guides. The Site covers the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany.
2. Informational purposes only
All content on the Site is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a religious ruling (fatwa), dietary advice, or a guarantee of halal compliance. Halal certification statuses, ingredient sourcing, and manufacturing processes can change at any time without notice.
You should always verify halal status directly with the manufacturer, restaurant, or a qualified halal certification body before making consumption decisions. CheckMyHalal is a starting point for your research, not a definitive authority.
3. Accuracy and limitations
We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of our data by cross-referencing multiple sources including Open Food Facts, official halal certification bodies, and manufacturer declarations. However, we do not warrant that information on the Site is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times.
Product formulations, certifications, and restaurant menus may change. We are not liable for any decisions made based on information found on the Site.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

- Misrepresent the information on the Site or attribute false claims to CheckMyHalal.

All content on the Site — including text, design, logos, graphics, and code — is the property of CheckMyHalal or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent.
Product data sourced from Open Food Facts is used under the Open Database License (ODbL) and remains subject to its terms.
6. Third-party links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including manufacturer websites, certification body websites, and external resources. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content or practices of any third-party website.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee that the Site will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CheckMyHalal and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, or any decisions made based on information provided on the Site.

If you submit corrections, suggestions, or feedback to us (e.g. via email), you grant CheckMyHalal a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback to improve the Site, without any obligation of compensation or attribution.
10. Changes to these terms
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
