6.1 FoodCalc shall use reasonable commercial efforts consistent with prevailing
industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and
interruptions in the Services. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled
maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by FoodCalc or by third-party
providers, or because of other causes beyond FoodCalc's reasonable control, but
FoodCalc shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by
e-mail of any scheduled service disruption.
6.2 FoodCalc provides the Services, which includes food ingredient nutrition composition
data and food nutrient content claims which is either in the public domain through
governmental or official agencies, including the United States Department of Agriculture
("USDA"), Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") or has been provided
by third party food product manufacturers. Any Customer who submits their own food
product nutrition composition data for their manufactured products to the FoodCalc
database accepts that other Customers will rely on the accuracy of same, and such
submitting Customer represents and warrants that such composition data is accurate
and covenants to only submit accurate data. Customer will indemnify FoodCalc for
any claims arising related to a breach of the foregoing representation and covenant.
FoodCalc imports or accepts all third party data "as is." FoodCalc takes
no responsibility for the accuracy of any composition data included in its database.
6.3 FoodCalc makes the Services available on the understanding that Customers exercise
their own skill, care and judgment with respect to its use, and are solely responsible
for reviewing the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the results for any and
all Customer purposes. Customer shall be solely responsible, and FoodCalc shall
not be responsible, for the results derived from Customer's inputs and entries during
its use of the Services, including Customer's completion or selection of any and
all variable fields (e.g., ingredients, nutrient content claims, quantities, regulatory
factors, identification of potential allergens output and export options including
labels, fact panels, etc.).
6.4 Customer is expressly advised that FoodCalc makes no representation or warranty
that the Services or any component thereof is free of error or that the Services
meet any of Customer's specific requirements, including Customer's compliance with
any regulatory requirements. FoodCalc does not hold itself out as an expert in any
particular circumstance. Advice provided by FoodCalc may not be current and may
not be relied upon. Client is expressly advised to obtain appropriate expert advice
relevant to Client's particular circumstances.
6.5 FoodCalc makes no warranty that the results generated by the Services will be
free from error, or if used will ensure compliance with the relevant requirements
of the Food and Drug Administration, the USDA, or any other foreign, federal, state

important matter, Customer should carefully evaluate the accuracy, completeness
and relevance of the results for its purposes, and should obtain appropriate expert
advice relevant to its particular circumstances.

composition data used in the Services contain nutrient data that is an average of
nutrients in a particular sample of foods and ingredients, determined at a particular
time. The nutrient composition of foods and ingredients can vary substantially over
different batches, and between brands because of a number of factors including changes
in season, processing practices and ingredient source.
6.7 Customer is advised that given the disclaimers and limitations set forth in
this Section 6, the results generated by the Services may be only approximate in
nature, rather than exactly reflective of Customer's product's average nutrient
composition. Nutrient data derived from analysis of a representative sample of Customer's
individual products would generally provide a more exact reflection of the average
nutritional composition of such products.
6.8 FoodCalc does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free;
nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of
the Services. If there is an interruption in Credit Card processing between FoodCalc,

has been confirmed. FoodCalc will notify Customer of any known errors upon discovery
of interruption. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND FOODCALC DISCLAIMS
