Terms of service

Plain rules for a tool that keeps your records.

What you agree to when you use CleanCleaver, in plain words. Effective October 8, 2026.

Last updated

1. Who the terms are between

Who are the terms between?

These terms are between Praiseworthy Apps LLC ("we", "us"), which makes CleanCleaver, at 9241 January Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89134, and you.

  • A business account. You means the business that signs up, and the person who signs up for it says they may agree for the business. Each worker you invite uses CleanCleaver under your account, and you are responsible for who you invite and what they do in it.
  • A home. You means the adult who sets up the home. You manage the household's profiles, including children's first names. Children do not get their own sign-in or email.
  • An invited worker. You use the account your workplace set up. Your workplace decides what is recorded; these terms and our privacy policy still apply to you.

By signing up or using CleanCleaver you agree to these terms, the privacy policy, the acceptable use policy and the AI use notice. A business that keeps its workers' records with us also gets the data processing addendum.

Questions? Call or text (415) 640-1667.

2. The service

What does the service do?

CleanCleaver keeps records for a food business or a home. It keeps the checks, temperature readings, fixes, cleaning and people. It makes an inspection binder as a PDF. It shows what is due. See all features.

  • It reminds people when a check is due: as a reminder on screen in a browser that allowed them, on the iPhone app once phone reminders are turned on, and by email for people who choose email, once our email service is on. Each person can turn each one off in Profile, under How should we reach you?, or in the phone's settings.
  • It does not send text messages. A manager can send a one-tap text through our sister app Hit Em Up when it ships; the text goes from the manager's own phone.
  • It does not read temperatures by itself. People type or say each reading.
  • It does not order anything for you, and it does not file anything with the county or the state.
  • It does not give legal advice, and it does not predict or pass your inspection.

3. Food safety

Who is responsible for food safety?

You are.

CleanCleaver helps you record and remember. The rules it shows come from your state's food code and your local health department's rules. Your health department decides how they apply to you. Pick your state to see where its rules come from:

Utah

Utah follows the 2022 FDA Food Code (Utah Admin. Code R392-100). A county can ask for more, so ask yours.

Source: Utah Admin. Code R392-100-4(1)(b).

Nevada

Nevada writes its own food code, NAC chapter 446, from the 2009 FDA Food Code. In Clark County (SNHD) and Washoe County, the health district's own food regulation replaces it.

Source: NRS 580.210(2); NAC 446; FDA Food Code adoption report 2024, Table 7 (Nevada: 2009, effective 2013).

California

California writes its own food law, the California Retail Food Code (CalCode), a state statute. It is the same in every county; a county or city may add only a few things, such as a grading system.

Source: HSC 113700, 113705, 113709, 113713.

New York

New York writes its own food rule, Subpart 14-1 of the State Sanitary Code. A county may add rules that don't conflict with it, and New York City's Health Code adds its own on top.

Source: 10 NYCRR Subpart 14-1; Public Health Law 347; NYC Health Code 81.01.

Oregon

Oregon's food rules (OAR 333-150) are based on the 2022 FDA Food Code, in force since January 1, 2026. Your county's environmental health office runs them for the Oregon Health Authority.

Source: OAR 333-150 (OHA Food Sanitation Rules page); ORS 624.510.

Florida

Florida's restaurant rules come from the state alone: DBPR's Division of Hotels and Restaurants follows the 2017 FDA Food Code (rule 61C-1.001), and local governments can't add food rules (Fla. Stat. 509.032(7)).

Source: Rule 61C-1.001, F.A.C..

Texas

Texas follows the 2017 FDA Food Code, adopted by the Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER). Your city's or county's health department, or DSHS where there is none, permits and inspects; a city may be stricter, a county may not add its own standards. TFER text from DSHS's consolidated copy (effective 2021-08-08); confirm the current text.

Source: 25 TAC 228.1(b) (DSHS consolidated TFER, August 2021).

Massachusetts

Massachusetts's food code (105 CMR 590) adopts the 2013 FDA Food Code with the state's own sections, as a minimum. Your city's or town's board of health enforces it and may add its own rules.

Source: 105 CMR 590.001.

  • It is guidance and record keeping. It is not legal advice or health advice. When the app and your health department differ, follow your health department.
  • It does not replace the state food handler course.
  • A manager checks a food handler card by eye. The app does not check with the county.
  • A typed name in the app is not a legally verified e-signature.
  • The inspection binder is a plain PDF. It is not signed or sealed by anyone.
  • Inspection results shown in the app or on our site are the health department's public records, copied as they publish them. They can be late, incomplete or wrong. The department's own record is the one that counts; each result links to it. Think one is wrong? Use Ask for correction and we check it against the department's record.

4. Emergencies

Not for emergencies

CleanCleaver is not an emergency service. If someone is hurt, very sick or in danger, call 911. For a chemical splash or a swallowed chemical, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. A reminder or a report in the app may arrive late or not at all.

5. Your account

What do I need to sign up, and who can use my account?

You sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email. Google sign-in is also there when it is turned on. Keep your email account safe: whoever can read it can sign in as you.

You must be 18 or older to open a business account or a home. A business may invite workers who are 13 or older. Nobody under 13 may have an account.

Roles (owner, admin, manager and staff) decide who sees what. An invite by text or email opens the sender's own text or mail app. CleanCleaver does not send it.

6. Price

What does it cost?

Every plan has every feature. The price depends on how many people you have. 25 days free.

Monthly price by number of people counted at a location
PlanPeople countedPrice a month
Solo1 to 2 people$8 per location
Small3 to 6 people$24 per location
Team7 to 12 people$40 per location
Kitchen13 or more people$69 per location
Church or community kitchenAny number of volunteers$19 per building
AI photo reading (optional)Each person counted$6 per person

7. Trial, renewal and cancelling

How do the trial, renewal and cancelling work?

  • The free trial. The 25 free days start when you add a card. Cancel before they end and you pay nothing. Before the trial ends we send a notice.
  • Renewal. After the trial, your plan renews every month and your card is charged each month until you cancel. The price is the one on this page for your number of people.
  • Cancel online, any time. Cancel from the billing page. It opens Stripe's own portal, so you do not need to call or write. Cancelling stops the next charge.
  • Refunds. We do not refund time already used.
  • Your card. You type it on Stripe's page. It never touches our servers.
  • Safety keeps working. Check-ins, sick reports and food-safety steps keep working with or without a card.

These follow the federal and California rules for automatic renewal: clear terms before the card, your consent, and a simple way to cancel online.

8. Your records

Whose records are these?

They are yours. You give us the right to store, copy, show and process them only to run CleanCleaver for you, and as our privacy policy says. We do not sell them.

What you can take out: the inspection binder as a PDF, the arrivals and team lists as spreadsheets, and (for the owner) everything the business has stored, as one file. Each person can also download their own data. Both are in the app, under Profile, then Your data and privacy.

A business that keeps its workers' records with us is in charge of those records; we keep them for it (see the data processing addendum).

9. AI helpers (supplementary terms)

What about the AI helpers?

Some steps use AI: Ask, the step-by-step walkthroughs, reading photos of paper logs and kitchens, food photos, and (when turned on) the AI room check. The AI use notice says which company sees what.

  • An AI answer or a reading can be wrong. We show where an answer comes from, and exact limits (keep times, thaw times, sanitizer strengths) come from our own rules, not a model.
  • You check the result before you rely on it. Doubtful cells from a paper scan wait for a person. Nothing from a set-up photo is added until you tap.
  • Questions our guides do not cover go to a review queue; a person at CleanCleaver approves any new answer before it joins the library.
  • Health check-in answers never go to an AI model.
  • Do not put other people's private details into Ask or a photo.

10. Other companies

Which other companies are involved?

We use a small number of companies to run the service (hosting, email, payments, AI, sign-in, reminders). They are listed, with what each one gets, on the subprocessor list. Stripe's own terms apply to payments. Links to health departments and other sites are theirs, not ours.

11. Licenses

What may I do with CleanCleaver itself?

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use CleanCleaver for your business or home while your account is open. The app, the guides, the library and the design are ours or our licensors'. The free guides and checklists may be printed and shared as they are, with their source line.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

12. Rules of use

What can I not do?

The full list is the acceptable use policy. In short:

  • Do not share your sign-in codes or PINs.
  • Do not upload other people's private information you have no right to keep.
  • Do not falsify records, or use CleanCleaver to mislead an inspector.
  • Do not scrape the service, overload it or try to break into it. Found a weak spot? Tell us (see the security page).
  • A shared guide link can be read by anyone who holds it, until it expires. Share it with care.

13. Confidentiality

How do you treat what we tell you?

We keep your records and what you tell us confidential. Only the people at CleanCleaver who need to see them to run, fix or support the service can, and their access is reviewed every quarter. We disclose them only as the privacy policy says, or when the law makes us; where the law allows, we tell you first.

14. Keeping and deleting data

What happens to my records if I cancel or leave?

  • Cancelling stops billing. Your records stay so you can come back, until the owner deletes the business.
  • Deleting a business (owner only): type its name, wait 7 days (you can cancel), then every record, person and photo is erased. We keep one line: that the business existed, when it was deleted and who asked.
  • Deleting your own account removes your sign-in, your devices and your settings. Records your workplace keeps about your work stay with that business.
  • Backups hold deleted data for up to 5 days, then it is gone.
  • Records of what you agreed to, your email choices and privacy requests are kept as proof (see the privacy policy).

15. No warranties

What do you promise about the service?

CleanCleaver is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, on time, free of errors, or that any reminder will arrive; we do not promise any inspection result. We make no promise about how often it is up, and offer no service level agreement.

Some states do not allow some of these limits; then they apply only as far as that state allows.

16. Limit of liability

What are the limits?

To the extent the law allows: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, including from a fine, a closure, a failed inspection or a foodborne illness; and (b) our total liability for all claims about CleanCleaver is limited to the greater of $100 or the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

These limits apply whatever the theory (contract, tort, negligence or otherwise), and even if we were told the damage was possible. They do not limit liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

A data breach is handled as our privacy policy and the DPA describe.

17. Indemnity

When would I cover your costs?

You will defend and cover us (and our people) against claims, losses and costs, including reasonable lawyers' fees, that come from your records, your food operation, your misuse of CleanCleaver, or your breach of these terms or the law. We will tell you about a claim promptly and let you control the defense, with our reasonable help.

18. Ending

Can either of us end this?

You can stop any time: cancel billing and, if you want, delete your account or business. We can suspend or end an account that breaks these terms or the law, puts others at risk, or does not pay, with notice where we can give it. When an account ends, sections 8 and 13 to 21 still apply.

19. Disputes

How are disputes handled?

Talk first. Call or text us; most problems end there. If not, send a written notice and give us 30 days to fix it.

Arbitration (US and Canada). Any dispute that is not resolved goes to binding individual arbitration by the American Arbitration Association under its rules, not to court, except small-claims cases and claims about intellectual property. No class actions: claims are brought only individually, never as a class or representative action.

Opting out. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these terms by writing to us at the address above.

Everyone else. Disputes are heard in the state or federal courts in Clark County, Nevada.

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without its conflict-of-law rules.

20. Changes

Can the terms change?

Yes. When we change them in a way that matters, we email account owners and show a notice in the app at least 30 days before the change starts, and we keep each version with its date. If you keep using CleanCleaver after it starts, you accept the new terms; if you do not agree, cancel before then. For a change that matters, the app asks you to accept the new version, and we keep a record of who accepted which version and when.

21. Notices and the rest

How do we reach each other?

We send notices to the email on your account and in the app. You send notices to Praiseworthy Apps LLC, 9241 January Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89134, or by text to (415) 640-1667.

If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a part, we have not given it up. You may not transfer these terms without our written agreement; we may transfer them with the business. These terms (with the documents they name) are the whole agreement about CleanCleaver.
