Effective date: June 1, 2025
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Calmeter mobile application (the "App") operated by Calmeter LLC ("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy and Subscription Policy by reference.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the App. By using the App, you confirm that you are 18 or older. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account.
Accounts
You must create an account to use Calmeter. You may register with an email address and password, or through Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In. Use of Google Sign-In is subject to Google's Terms of Service. Use of Apple Sign-In is subject to Apple's Terms and Conditions.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@calmeter.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
You may delete your account at any time from within the App under Account → Account → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent. Your data will be removed from our systems within 30 days.
Subscriptions and Billing
Calmeter Plus is an auto-renewing subscription processed by Apple through the App Store. Pricing, billing terms, free trial eligibility, cancellation instructions, and refund information are described in full in our Subscription Policy.
All payments are charged to your Apple ID. Calmeter does not process payments directly and does not have access to your payment card details.
Not Medical Advice
Calmeter is a general wellness and nutrition tracking tool. It is not a medical device, healthcare service, or clinical application.
Nothing in the App constitutes medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Do not use Calmeter to make medical or clinical decisions. Always consult a licensed physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet or health routine, particularly if you have a medical condition.
Use of the App does not create a doctor-patient or dietitian-client relationship between you and Calmeter LLC.
AI Meal Analysis
The App's camera feature uses AI to estimate the caloric and nutritional content of photographed meals. These estimates are generated automatically and may not be accurate. Factors including lighting, portion size, ingredient variation, and food preparation method can affect results.
AI-generated nutrition estimates are provided for general informational purposes only. You should verify estimates against nutrition labels or other authoritative sources where accuracy matters. Do not rely on AI estimates for the management of a medical condition, eating disorder, or clinical dietary program.
Third-Party Services
FatSecret: Food search and barcode scanning in the App are powered by the FatSecret Platform API. By using these features, you agree to be bound by the FatSecret Platform API Terms of Use. Calmeter does not own or control the FatSecret food database.
Firebase (Google): The App uses Firebase for authentication, data storage, push notifications, and analytics. Use of these services is subject to Google's Terms of Service.
Apple App Store: The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance, technical support, or warranty coverage for the App. In the event of any claim by a third party that the App infringes their intellectual property rights, Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of such claim.
Your Content
You retain ownership of the meal photos, food logs, weight entries, and other data you create in the App. By uploading content, you grant Calmeter LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and process your content solely to operate the App, deliver features, and improve AI analysis. We do not sell your content to third parties.
You are responsible for any content you submit. You agree not to upload content that is unlawful, obscene, or that infringes the rights of others.
Prohibited Uses
You may not:
Use the App for any unlawful purpose
Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App
Access or tamper with systems or data you are not authorized to access
Use automated tools to scrape, collect, or extract data from the App
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
Use the App to harass, threaten, or harm others
Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, features, text, graphics, and underlying software, is owned by or licensed to Calmeter LLC and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You may not copy, distribute, reproduce, or create derivative works from any part of the App without our written permission. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Calmeter LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We make no warranty regarding the accuracy of AI-generated nutrition estimates or the completeness of the FatSecret food database.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Calmeter LLC's total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of the total fees you paid to Calmeter in the 12 months preceding the claim or $50.
Calmeter LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of revenue, or harm resulting from reliance on nutrition information or AI analysis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Calmeter LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — remain in effect.
Dispute Resolution
You and Calmeter LLC agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally. If you have a dispute, contact us at legal@calmeter.com with a description of the issue and the resolution you are seeking. We will attempt to resolve the matter within 30 days.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
This arbitration clause does not apply to claims for injunctive or equitable relief related to intellectual property, or to claims that qualify for small claims court.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any claims not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Tennessee.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
