These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the mobile application, web platform, and related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Vitaledger (referred to as "we", "us", "our")—an AI-powered nutrition guidance and verifiable food trust ledger platform focused on family health, including personalized meal planning, food scoring, and blockchain-backed food trust verification.
By accessing or using the Services, you ("you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy (available at /privacy), and any additional terms or policies referenced herein or provided to you in connection with specific features of the Services. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
To use the Services, you must: (a) be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction); (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; and (c) comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. If you are using the Services on behalf of a family, you represent and warrant that you are the legal guardian of any minor family members whose data is provided through the Services, and that you have the authority to consent to these Terms on their behalf.
We reserve the right to restrict access to the Services to any individual or entity that we reasonably believe does not meet these eligibility requirements, or that has violated these Terms in the past.
To access certain features of the Services (e.g., personalized meal plans, saved grocery lists, premium subscription benefits), you must create a Vitaledger account. When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information (including your name, email address, and any family or health-related details you choose to share). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (email address and password) and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to: (a) notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account; (b) not share your account credentials with any third party; (c) not use another person's account without their explicit permission; and (d) take all reasonable steps to protect the security of your account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these responsibilities.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at kinson@vitaledger.info with a request to delete your account. Upon account termination, we will permanently delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy (subject to legal retention requirements) and you will lose access to all features and data associated with your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or abusive behavior, or for any other legitimate business reason (e.g., inactivity, violation of applicable laws).
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use (or for commercial use only if you have obtained our prior written consent). This license is subject to your compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.
Permitted uses of the Services include: (a) accessing personalized nutrition guidance, meal plans, and food scores; (b) scanning food barcodes and entering food-related data; (c) using the blockchain-backed trust verification features to validate food product information; (d) saving and managing grocery lists and meal templates; and (e) participating in affiliate-related benefits (if applicable).
You agree not to use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose, or in any way that violates these Terms or harms us, our users, or third parties. Specifically, you agree not to:
We strive to make the Services available 24/7, but we do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from downtime. We may temporarily suspend the Services for maintenance, updates, or technical issues, and we will notify you of any scheduled downtime when reasonably possible. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from temporary unavailability of the Services.
The Services are offered on a freemium basis, with certain basic features available free of charge and additional premium features available for a fee (the "Premium Services"). The terms of the Premium Services (including pricing, subscription duration, and renewal terms) will be provided to you when you sign up for the Premium Services. By subscribing to the Premium Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees and to comply with the additional terms specific to the Premium Services.
The Services may include integrations with third-party services (e.g., food databases, nutrition APIs, payment processors, partner retailers, and blockchain service providers). These third-party services are subject to their own terms of service and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for the performance, content, or privacy practices of any third-party service. Your use of third-party integrations is at your own risk, and you agree to comply with the terms of service of those third parties.
All intellectual property rights in the Services (including but not limited to software, algorithms, AI models, food scoring systems, blockchain verification tools, trademarks, logos, text, graphics, and content) are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Services or any of our intellectual property—all rights not explicitly granted herein are reserved by us.
You retain all intellectual property rights in any content you upload, post, or submit through the Services (e.g., food entries, feedback, meal plans, and personal health data) ("User Content"). By submitting User Content to the Services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, process, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Services. You represent and warrant that you have the right to submit the User Content and that the User Content does not violate the rights of any third party.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE PREMIUM SERVICES (IF ANY) IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, OR $50.00 IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID ANY FEES.
This limitation of liability applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and does not apply to: (a) damages arising from our gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) personal injury or property damage caused by our negligence; (c) any breach of our obligations under data protection laws; or (d) any other liability that cannot be limited by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your User Content; (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations; or (e) your infringement of any third-party rights (including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights). We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or business practices. We will notify you of any material changes by: (a) posting the updated Terms on our Services with a new "Last Updated" date; and (b) sending a notification to your registered email address (for material changes).
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for updates. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

We may assign these Terms or any of our rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party without your consent (e.g., in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets).
