Terms of Use
Practical terms for a practical nutrition app.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the NextMeal mobile application, related websites, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
Important health disclaimer: NextMeal provides automated estimates and general wellness information. It is not a doctor, dietitian, emergency service, medical device, diagnosis, or treatment plan. Always seek qualified professional advice for medical conditions, allergies, eating disorders, pregnancy, medications, or major dietary changes.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.
2. Your account
You may sign in using Apple or Google. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your sign-in account and for activity under your NextMeal account. Provide accurate information, keep it reasonably current, and notify us at yourspaceai@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
3. The Service
NextMeal can estimate meal nutrition from text or images, calculate nutrition targets, organize meal and pantry information, and generate plans and recommendations. Features may change, be tested, or be discontinued. Some features require a paid subscription and compatible device, operating system, network connection, and third-party services.
4. Nutrition and AI limitations
- Calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, portion, and ingredient estimates may be incorrect or incomplete.
- AI-generated suggestions can contain errors and may not account for your full health history, medications, allergies, food preparation, or individual needs.
- You are responsible for verifying ingredients, allergen safety, nutrition labels, serving sizes, and whether a recommendation is suitable for you.
- Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of information from the Service.
- If you believe you have a medical emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.
5. Subscriptions, trials, and billing
Paid features may be offered through auto-renewing monthly or annual subscriptions. The available plan, price, currency, billing interval, and trial terms are displayed in the purchase interface before you confirm. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, as applicable, under the store account you use.
- Automatic renewal: Unless you cancel before the renewal deadline shown by your store, your subscription automatically renews and the store charges your selected payment method.
- Trials and offers: Eligibility is determined by the store and RevenueCat. A trial generally converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends.
- Cancellation: Manage or cancel through your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting the app or your NextMeal account does not automatically cancel a store subscription.
- Restoration: You can use the app's restore-purchases option for eligible purchases associated with your store account.
- Refunds: Refund requests and billing disputes are handled under the applicable store's policies. We cannot directly issue refunds for purchases controlled by Apple or Google.
- Changes: Stores may notify you of price or tax changes and request consent where required.
Your purchase may also be subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, or Google Play Terms of Service, as applicable.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, or to harm another person;
- upload content you do not have the right to use or that violates privacy, intellectual-property, or other rights;
- submit malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with operation, or bypass security or subscription controls;
- scrape, reverse engineer, copy, resell, or commercially exploit the Service except where restrictions are prohibited by law;
- misrepresent AI output as professional medical advice; or
- use automated means in a manner that creates unreasonable load or disrupts other users.
7. Your content
You retain any rights you have in meal descriptions, photos, pantry information, feedback, and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, process, adapt, and display User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service and comply with law. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for limited backup, security, or legal retention.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit User Content. Avoid submitting images containing faces, documents, location details, or other personal information unrelated to meal analysis.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. By using the Service, you acknowledge those practices.
9. Ownership
The Service, including software, design, text, graphics, branding, and underlying technology other than User Content, is owned by or licensed to NextMeal and protected by applicable laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes.
10. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties such as Apple, Google, Firebase, OpenAI, RevenueCat, and cloud infrastructure providers. Their services and terms may apply separately. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our control, and their availability may affect the Service.
11. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion using our deletion instructions. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, create security or legal risk, fail to pay applicable charges, or if required by law. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue.
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that nutrition estimates, recommendations, subscription availability, stored data, or AI output will always be accurate, complete, safe, or available. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, NextMeal will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from the Service. Our aggregate liability relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD 50. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot be limited for fraud, willful misconduct, or certain personal injuries.
14. Changes and availability
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, law, or business practices. We will post the updated Terms, revise the date above, and provide additional notice when required. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription. We may modify or discontinue features, but this does not remove store refund or consumer rights that apply to you.
15. Governing rules
These Terms are governed by applicable law, without overriding mandatory consumer protections available where you live. Before starting a formal claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally. You may also have rights to use local courts, regulators, or consumer dispute mechanisms.
16. General
If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization or business transfer. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable store terms form the agreement concerning your use of the Service.
