BreathIQ may contain links to third-party sites (WHO, CDC, ECDC, etc.). These links are provided for information only. The publisher does not control these sites and accepts no responsibility for their content or availability.

For consumers residing in the EU, the European online dispute resolution platform is available at: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
For users outside the EU, these Terms remain subject to French law. The choice of French jurisdiction does not deprive consumers of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of their country of habitual residence.
