1 Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the SureVera mobile application ("App") or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Arrio Technologies LLC, doing business as SureVera ("we," "us," or "our"). Your continued use of the Service following any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
2 Description of Service
SureVera is a mobile application available on iOS and Android that provides access to publicly available health inspection data for restaurants and hotels from official government sources across 90+ cities in the United States.
The Service operates by:
- Aggregating health inspection records for restaurants and hotels published by city and county health departments
- Matching restaurants and hotels to their corresponding inspection records using automated name-matching technology
- Displaying letter grades (A, B, C, or F) and inspection details based on official government data
- Providing optional push notifications when an establishment's health inspection grade changes
SureVera does not require user accounts. Certain features may be available through optional paid subscriptions.
3 Data Accuracy and Disclaimers
Please read this section carefully. It describes the nature and limitations of the data displayed in SureVera.
Source of Data. All health inspection data displayed in SureVera is sourced from official city and county health department public records. SureVera does not conduct health inspections, create its own ratings, or generate opinions about any establishment. The grades and inspection details shown in the App reflect findings made by government health inspectors, not assessments or judgments made by SureVera.
Government Grading. Where available, health inspection grades and numeric scores are taken directly from official government records. SureVera uses the following grade scale: A (score of 90 or above), B (80-89), C (70-79), and F (below 70). These grades reflect the scoring systems used by the relevant health departments.
Estimated Scores. In jurisdictions where health departments do not publish numeric scores, SureVera provides estimated comparable scores based on the official inspection findings (such as the number and severity of violations documented). These estimated scores are clearly labeled as estimates within the App. Estimated scores represent SureVera's best effort to translate official inspection findings into a comparable numeric format and should be understood as approximations, not official government scores.
Automated Restaurant Matching. SureVera uses automated fuzzy name-matching technology to match restaurants and hotels listed in public databases (such as OpenStreetMap) to their corresponding health inspection records. While we employ confidence thresholds and multiple verification techniques to ensure accuracy, this automated process may occasionally result in:
- Incorrect matches, where an establishment is associated with another's inspection record
- Missing matches, where an establishment's inspection data exists but is not linked to the correct listing
- Partial matches, where an establishment with multiple locations is matched to the wrong branch's inspection
SureVera displays a confidence level for each match. Only matches meeting a minimum confidence threshold are shown to users. However, no automated matching system is perfect, and users should be aware of this limitation.
Data Freshness. The timeliness of inspection data depends entirely on each health department's publishing schedule. There may be a delay of days, weeks, or longer between the date an inspection is conducted and the date it appears in SureVera. Recently inspected establishments may display outdated grades until the health department publishes updated records and SureVera processes the new data. SureVera updates its data on a regular schedule but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy.
Completeness. SureVera does not claim to display data for every restaurant or hotel in every covered city. Coverage depends on the availability of public inspection records, the completeness of restaurant listings in public databases, and the ability of our matching system to link the two. Some establishments may not appear in the App, and some may appear without inspection data.
No Warranty of Accuracy. SureVera makes no warranty, express or implied, that the data displayed in the App is complete, current, accurate, or error-free. We provide the data on an "as is" basis. Government records themselves may contain errors, and the process of aggregating, parsing, and matching this data may introduce additional inaccuracies.
Not a Substitute for Professional Judgment. The information provided by SureVera is for general informational purposes only. Users should not rely solely on SureVera when making decisions about where to eat or stay, particularly if they have food allergies, compromised immune systems, or other health concerns that make food safety especially important. SureVera is not a substitute for your own judgment or for consulting official health department records directly.
Reporting Errors. If you believe that an establishment's inspection data, grade, or matching is incorrect, please contact us at support@arriotech.com. We investigate all reports and make corrections where appropriate, but we cannot guarantee resolution of every reported issue.
