Terms and Conditions

ByteDiet is a nutritional analysis application that allows users to upload or capture photographs of food. The Service uses AI vision models to identify ingredients, estimate portion sizes, and calculate approximate nutritional values including calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats. The Service also provides a health score, brief analysis, and health benefit suggestions, along with progress tracking and educational content.

You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account and use the Service. By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and are legally capable of entering into binding agreements.

• You must provide a valid email address and create a password to register.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
• One person may not maintain multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing Service limitations.

You are solely responsible for the photographs and any other content you upload to the Service ("User Content"). By uploading User Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the rights to the content.
• The content does not violate any law or third-party rights.
• The content does not contain harmful, offensive, or illegal material.

We do not claim ownership of your User Content. We process it solely to provide the nutritional analysis and related features of the Service.

The nutritional information provided by ByteDiet is generated by AI models and is for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis, treatment, or dietary guidance.

Specifically:

• Nutritional estimates (calories, macronutrients, portion sizes) are approximations based on visual analysis and may be inaccurate.
• Health scores and analyses are automated assessments, not professional evaluations.
• The Service does not consider your individual medical conditions, allergies, medications, or dietary restrictions.
• You should always consult a qualified healthcare professional, registered dietitian, or physician before making decisions about your diet, health, or nutrition.

ByteDiet shall not be liable for any decisions or actions you take based on the information provided by the Service.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Upload content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, or infringes on intellectual property rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our systems.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers.
• Upload content containing malware or harmful code.

The Service, including its design, features, educational content, and software, is owned by ByteDiet and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use the ByteDiet name, logo, or branding without prior written consent.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, store, and process your personal data. Please review the Privacy Policy to understand our data practices.

• You may delete your account at any time through the app or by contacting us. Upon deletion, all your personal data will be permanently removed within 30 days.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct that we determine is harmful to the Service or other users.

• The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
• We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated results will be accurate or reliable.
• Nutritional and health-related outputs are estimates and should not be relied upon as factual or medical data.
• We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on the Service's output.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ByteDiet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Any health-related decisions or outcomes resulting from use of the Service.
• Loss of data, including meal history or uploaded images.
• Service interruptions or unavailability.
• Any content or conduct of third-party AI providers.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes shall be resolved in the competent courts of the jurisdiction where ByteDiet is established, without regard to conflict of law principles.

If you have questions about these Terms and Conditions, please contact us through the in-app support channels.

Subscription Plans. ByteDiet offers paid subscription plans (Pro and Premium) billed monthly in advance through our payment provider, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time from the app's Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain access to paid features until then, and no further charges are made. When you cancel, we may ask you to share a reason (optional) to help us improve the Service.

Refund Policy (Fair, Usage-Based Refunds). We offer smart, usage-based refunds:

• If you request a refund within 14 days of a payment AND have used the Service minimally (5 or fewer scans and 2 or fewer AI Coach questions that month), you are eligible for a full refund of that payment and your subscription is cancelled immediately.
• If more than 14 days have passed but you are still within the billing period, you may receive a partial (prorated) refund based on the remaining days.
• Refunds are not available for billing periods that have already ended. To request a refund, use the "Request refund" option in Settings. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method and typically appear within 5–10 business days.

Recurring Billing. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You are responsible for cancelling before the next renewal to avoid being charged for the next period.

Fee Changes. We may change subscription fees with reasonable advance notice. Any change applies from the next billing cycle; you may cancel before it takes effect.

No Chargeback Abuse. Initiating a chargeback through your bank or card issuer for a charge you authorised, without first requesting a refund through the Service, may result in account suspension.
