Binit Terms of Use

Last Updated: September 2026

Hey there — welcome, and thank you for your interest in Binit! These Terms of Use lay out how you can use the Binit App. Binit Oy ("Binit," "we," "us"), a company organized under the laws of Finland, owns and runs the Binit App. 

Please read these Terms carefully, because they explain important information about using your copy of the Binit software — including some limits on our liability and how disputes get handled. These Terms are a binding agreement between Binit and you, and by using the App you agree to be bound by them. For details about Binit's privacy practices, please read the Binit Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Who Can Use Binit

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. Binit is not directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you're under 18, sorry — Binit isn't for you yet.

You alone are responsible for everything you and anyone in your household does with Binit.

Your Access to Binit

We're giving you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Binit App, as long as you stick to these Terms. You can use our services only if you follow these rules and follow our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that we can tweak or update the services anytime at our sole discretion.

You agree not to do any of the following:

  • Copy, mess with, or try to build on our services.

  • Reverse engineer or take apart anything in the Binit App.

  • Use Binit in any way that steps on someone else's intellectual property or breaks any laws.

  • Spread viruses or do anything harmful on purpose.

  • Try to hack or mess with security, like probing or scanning networks, unless we've given you the green light.

  • Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access Binit or overload our servers, unless you've got clear permission from us.

  • Use our verdicts, scores, or data to build a competing product or feed them into someone else's dataset.

Your access is just for you and your household — don't resell it. We might cancel your access if it looks like you're buying just to resell.

You have a license to use the App, not ownership of it. All intellectual property in Binit stays ours.

Sometimes Binit might be unavailable — for example, because of a tech upgrade, repairs, or something out of our control. We'll do our best to support you when needed, but we don't guarantee a certain level of help or a super-fast response time.

Now and then, we team up with other companies to help deliver our services. If that happens, you agree to follow their terms too.

What Binit Actually Does (And What Our Verdicts Are)

This part is important, so we're going to be extra clear.

Our verdicts are our opinions. Binit analyzes consumer products and gives them a pass or fail on three criteria: performance, safety, and sustainability. Every verdict, score, rating, flag, and recommendation in the App is Binit's opinion, formed by applying our published methodology to the data available to us. Verdicts are not statements of objective fact about any product, brand, or company, and they're not guarantees about how any product will perform for you.

Our verdicts are based on data that can change. We rely on sources like manufacturer disclosures, laboratory results, regulatory databases, published research, and other third-party information. That information can be incomplete, out of date, or later revised — and products themselves get reformulated, redesigned, and re-tested. A verdict reflects our opinion based on the information available to us at the time it was published. We update verdicts as we learn more, but we can't promise any verdict is current, complete, or error-free.  Verdicts may shift as new information about the product or category becomes available.

Our verdicts are not professional advice. Nothing in Binit is medical, health, safety, legal, financial, or other professional advice. A "pass" doesn't mean a product is safe or suitable for you, and a "fail" doesn't mean a product will harm you. Always read the product's own labels, warnings, and instructions, and talk to a qualified professional about your specific situation — especially for anything involving your health, allergies, children, or safety-critical uses. Any decision you make based on Binit is your own, made at your own risk.

Our AI can make mistakes. Binit uses artificial intelligence to help analyze products, and AI sometimes gets things wrong. Double-check before acting on anything in the App. Binit is not 

responsible for problems that arise from relying on the App's output.

Spotted an error? Tell us. We take accuracy seriously and we fix mistakes. If you think a verdict is wrong — whether you're a user, a manufacturer, or a brand — email us at corrections@binitechnologies.com, include the product, the verdict you're disputing, and any supporting information. We review error reports promptly and correct verdicts where the evidence supports it.

Third-Party Brands and Trademarks

Binit displays the names of thousands of third-party products so you can identify what we're talking about. All of those trademarks, trade names, and logos belong to their respective owners. Their appearance in Binit does not mean the brand sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with Binit — and it doesn't mean Binit endorses the brand, either. We use brand names purely to identify the products we're giving our opinion about.

Your Content

If Binit lets you submit content — like product photos, shopping lists, comments, or feedback on verdicts — that content stays yours. But by submitting it, you give Binit a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and display it in order to operate, improve, and promote our services.

You promise that anything you submit is yours to share, doesn't violate anyone else's rights, and doesn't break any laws. We can remove any user content at any time, for any reason.

Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property and expect you to do the same. If you believe content in Binit infringes your copyright, send a notice that complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to compliance@binitechnologies.com.

We respond to valid DMCA notices, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

You're Responsible for Your Binit Use

Don't use Binit to break any laws or hassle anyone else.

Don't try to mess with or interrupt our service, products, or servers. We might need to pause or stop your access for security, to prevent fraud or illegal activity, if the law asks us to, or if you break these Terms or the Privacy Policy.

You're the one making sure Binit works with your smartphone and connection. Binit won't be responsible for any lost data or damage you might run into while using our services.

Keep your account info up to date and check your email for our messages. If you get a username, password, or other credentials, keep them private — don't share them with anyone outside your household. Tell us right away if you think someone's gotten into your account without permission.

Communications

By creating an account, you agree that we can send you transactional and service messages (things like security alerts, verdict corrections, and updates to these Terms) at the email address you provide. These aren't optional — they're part of running the service.

We may also email you about Binit features, updates, and offers. You can opt out of these marketing emails anytime by clicking "unsubscribe" in any of them or adjusting your settings in the App — and opting out won't affect your access to Binit one bit.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Binit and its affiliates harmless from any liability or claim arising from your use of Binit, your content, or your violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Binit Comes "As Is" (Warranty Disclaimer)

Binit provides the App "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent applicable law allows, Binit and its affiliates disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including "merchantability," "fitness for a particular purpose," "non-infringement," and warranties arising out of a course of dealing, usage, or trade. We don't warrant that Binit will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that verdicts will be accurate or complete.

Some states don't allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, our warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration required by law.

Important Limits on Binit's Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Binit will not be liable for any inability to use Binit or for any limitations of Binit, or for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages — including loss of goodwill, business interruption, lost profits, loss of data, or device malfunction — even if we've been told such damages are possible.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Binit's total liability under this agreement is limited to $100.

Some states don't allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

If You Got Binit from the Apple App Store

A few extra things Apple asks us to tell you:

  • These Terms are between you and Binit only — not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the App or its content.

  • Your license is limited to use on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service (except that the App may be accessed by other accounts via Family Sharing or volume purchasing).

  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.

  • Apple isn't responsible for addressing any claims by you or third parties relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App doesn't conform to legal or regulatory requirements, or consumer protection claims.

  • If a third party claims the App infringes their intellectual property, Binit — not Apple — is responsible for handling it.

  • You represent that you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you're not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and can enforce them against you.

If You Got Binit from Google Play

Your use of the App must also comply with the Google Play Terms of Service. Where these Terms conflict with mandatory terms Google requires, Google's terms control for that conflict only.

Binit Can Update or Terminate This Agreement

Updates to these Terms. If we update these Terms, we'll post the new version in the App and update the "Last Updated" date up top. For material changes, we'll give you reasonable advance notice — in the App, by email, or both. If you keep using Binit after changes take effect, you accept them. If you don't accept them, stop using Binit and your agreement ends.

Termination. You can stop using Binit and end your agreement with us whenever you want. We can also stop your access at any time, for any reason. If we do, we'll try to let you know by email or when you next try to log in. Binit can disable any login credentials at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (like intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and governing law) survive.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and English is the governing language. However, the "Agreement to Arbitrate" below is governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), which will apply to its interpretation and enforcement.

If you're a consumer in the United States, nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under mandatory consumer protection laws of your state of residence.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU CAN OPT OUT (SEE BELOW).

Step One: Let's Talk First

We'd genuinely rather fix a problem than fight about it. Before either of us starts an arbitration, the one with the dispute must send the other a written notice describing the dispute, what happened, and what outcome they're looking for. Send yours to Binit Oy, Attn: Binit – Legal Notices, Suksikuja 3E 5, 01280 Vantaa, Finland, or by email to compliance@binitechnologies.com, and include your name and the email on your Binit account. We'll send ours to the email on your account.

For 60 days after the notice is received, you and we will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally — and if either side asks, we'll each make a settlement offer. Neither side may start an arbitration until those 60 days are up. This step is required, and any applicable statute of limitations is paused (tolled) while it runs.

Step Two: We Both Agree to Arbitrate

If we can't work it out informally, you and Binit each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Binit will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis — not in court, and not before a jury.  This applies to claims based on contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and to claims that arose before you accepted these Terms.

There are two exceptions, and they cut both ways:

  • Small claims. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence (or, if the claim qualifies, keep it there if the other side tries to move it to arbitration).

  • Intellectual property. Either of us may go to court to seek an injunction or other equitable relief for infringement or misuse of intellectual property (like copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets).

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the arbitration is filed, as modified by these Terms. The AAA's rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms, the parties will select an alternative administrator; if they can't agree, a court will appoint one under the Federal Arbitration Act.

A single arbitrator will decide the dispute. The arbitrator — not a court — will resolve all disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court will decide any dispute about the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver below. The arbitrator can award the same individual relief a court could, including damages and injunctive or declaratory relief in favor of the individual party seeking it, but only to the extent needed to resolve that party's individual claim.

Hearings and fees. The arbitration will be conducted in English. You can choose to have it conducted by videoconference or telephone, on documents alone, or in person in your county of residence. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. If your claim is for $10,000 or less and the arbitrator doesn't find it frivolous or filed for an improper purpose, Binit will pay the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees that exceed the amount you would have paid to file the same claim in court. Each side pays its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards them under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver

You and Binit each agree that disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. Neither of us will bring or participate in any class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative or consolidated proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If a court finds this waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request (and only that one) must be brought in court, and the rest stay in arbitration.

If a Lot of People File at Once (Batching)

If 25 or more arbitration demands that raise similar claims are filed against Binit by the same law firm or coordinated counsel, the AAA will administer them in batches of up to 50 demands each, with one arbitrator appointed per batch and a single set of batch fees. Statutes of limitations are tolled for demands awaiting their batch. This paragraph exists to make mass filings orderly and fair — it doesn't limit anyone's individual rights.

Your Right to Opt Out

You can reject this entire arbitration agreement, no strings attached. Just tell us in writing within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms, by emailing compliance@binitechnologies.com or mailing your written statement to Binit Oy, Attn: Binit – Legal Notices, Suksikuja 3E 5, 01280 Vantaa, Finland with your name, the email on your Binit account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, neither you nor Binit is bound by this arbitration agreement or the Class Action Waiver, and disputes will be resolved in court under the "Governing Law and Disputes" paragraph above. Opting out has zero effect on your ability to use Binit or on any other part of these Terms.

A Few Housekeeping Points

If any part of this arbitration section (other than the Class Action Waiver, addressed above) is found unenforceable, the rest of it stays in effect. This arbitration agreement survives the termination of your account and these Terms. If we materially change this arbitration section in the future, you may reject the change by writing to us within 30 days of the change — in which case the prior version continues to apply between us.

Other Things You Should Know

Feedback & suggestions. Got ideas, feedback, or suggestions? Awesome! If you share them with us, we get to use them for free — no strings attached.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in full effect, and the unenforceable part gets replaced with an enforceable one that comes closest to the original intent.

No waiver. If we don't enforce a part of these Terms right away, that doesn't mean we've given up the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You can't transfer your rights under these Terms to anyone else. We can assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Force majeure. We're not responsible for delays or failures caused by things outside our reasonable control — like natural disasters, war, internet or utility failures, or government actions.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and Binit about the App and replace any earlier agreements on the same subject.
