Terms of Use

011. Acceptance of the Terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (hereinafter "you" or the "user") and Gizem Acar, who provides the Service. By downloading the CalSensei application, creating an account, or using the Service in any manner, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the application, create an account, or access the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a person, company, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that person or organization to these Terms.

022. Eligibility and Age Requirement

In order to use the Service, you must have reached the minimum age applicable in your country of residence and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

CalSensei is not intended for children under the age of 13 (16 in the European Union), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from such children. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only under the supervision and with the consent of your parent or legal guardian. If we identify an account that we believe belongs to a child under the age of 13 (16 in the EU), we may delete that account and its data.

033. Description of the Service

CalSensei is an AI-powered calorie and nutrition tracking application that analyzes your meal photos to produce estimated calorie and macronutrient values. When you take a photo of a meal, the photo is uploaded to the cloud for analysis and processed by an AI image/language processing pipeline to generate estimates of calories as well as protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, and sugar.

The Service may also provide recipe suggestions and recipe texts, daily calorie and macro goals calculated from the profile information you provide (height, weight, age, gender, nutrition goals), and a discovery feed composed of food images. Your meal photos and the nutrition data derived from them may be stored so that you can view your history.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service and the features we offer at any time, with or without prior notice.

044. Health and Nutrition Disclaimer (IMPORTANT)

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. CalSensei provides automated ESTIMATES for general informational purposes only. All values it provides are estimates and are NOT medical, nutritional, dietetic, or any other kind of professional advice. CalSensei is not a medical device.

AI-based estimates may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. The calorie and macronutrient values produced from meal photos are not precise measurement results and may deviate significantly from the actual values. For this reason, you should not rely on these values for medical or health-related decisions.

The Service cannot be used for the diagnosis, treatment, cure, prevention, or management of any medical condition or eating disorder (for example, anorexia, bulimia, or similar conditions). CalSensei is not designed for these purposes and is not appropriate to be used for them.

Before making any decision regarding nutrition, diet, exercise, or your health, you must always consult a qualified health professional (a physician, dietitian, or relevant specialist). If you have a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have special nutritional needs, it is especially important that you consult your health professional before using the Service.

Your use of the Service is entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for any actions you take or refrain from taking based on the estimates or information you obtain from the Service.

055. Account and User Responsibilities

To use certain features of the Service, you may need to create an account. When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep this information up to date.

You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur through your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, you must notify us immediately at support@calsensei.com.

You agree to use the Service only for purposes that comply with applicable laws and are permitted under these Terms. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide, including your profile information (such as height, weight, age, gender, and nutrition goals); if this data is inaccurate, the calculated goals and estimates will also be inaccurate.

066. Application License and Apple EULA

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install the CalSensei application on iOS devices that you own or control and to use it for personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license is not a transfer of ownership. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer, decompile into source code, or create derivative works from the application or any part of it (except as expressly permitted by applicable law).

Because the CalSensei application is distributed through the Apple App Store, in addition to these Terms, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies to your use of the application. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, the minimum provisions of the Apple EULA shall apply with respect to the application acquired from the App Store. Under the Apple EULA, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of the application and has the right to enforce these Terms against you.

077. Subscriptions, Free Trial, Auto-Renewal, and Cancellation

Certain premium features of the Service ("CalSensei Pro") may require a paid subscription. CalSensei Pro is sold through Apple In-App Purchase, and subscription management is carried out via RevenueCat. Subscriptions may be offered as weekly, monthly, and annual plans and may include a free trial period.

Where a free trial period is offered, if you do not cancel before the trial period ends, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and the fee for the plan you selected will be charged. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you switch to a paid subscription.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the fee associated with your account is charged at each renewal period. You can manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal at any time from your App Store account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

088. Billing and Refunds

Subscription payments are processed by Apple through your App Store account. Your payment information is managed by Apple; we do not have direct access to this information. Prices, taxes, and currency are as displayed in the App Store and may be changed with prior notice.

Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's App Store policies and rules in effect at the time. Refund requests must be directed to Apple (the App Store); we are not authorized to process refunds. Your rights under applicable consumer legislation are reserved.
