Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 21, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SpotterPal mobile application (the "App") operated by Veridiar ("we," "us," or "our"). The Terms also cover your use of the App's home-screen and lock-screen widgets and its companion Apple Watch app. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. If you are under the age of 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Account Registration

To use certain features of the App, you must create an account using a valid email address, Google Sign-In, or Sign in with Apple. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials secure. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Description of the Service

SpotterPal is a protein tracking application that allows you to log daily protein intake through manual entry, barcode scanning, and food search. The App also provides: a one-time onboarding flow that computes a personalized daily protein-goal recommendation from your self-reported height, weight, activity level, and fitness goal; consecutive-day streak tracking and weekly statistics; personality-flavored in-app copy and notification messages (you choose from preset personalities); push notifications for meal reminders, streak protection, win-back, and a weekly summary digest; home-screen widgets (small, medium, and large), lock-screen widgets, and a companion Apple Watch app with complications; and a "Pro" subscription that unlocks paid features such as food search, barcode scanning, and widgets. The App provides nutritional information sourced from third-party databases and is intended as a general wellness tool.

4. Medical Disclaimer

THE APP IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE AND IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE OR MEDICAL CONDITION. The nutritional information provided through the App is for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nutritional data is sourced from third-party databases and may contain inaccuracies or be incomplete.

The personalized daily protein-goal recommendation produced by the App is generated using simplified formulas applied to the self-reported height, weight, activity level, and fitness goal you provide during onboarding. We do not validate the accuracy of these self-reported values, and the recommendation has not been reviewed or approved by a medical professional. It is intended as a general starting point only.

The App is not appropriate for individuals with eating disorders, kidney disease, diabetes, pregnancy-related dietary requirements, or any other medical condition that requires monitored macronutrient intake, without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. If you have any such condition, do not rely on the App's goal recommendations or tracking for medical purposes.

You should always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making dietary changes or relying on nutritional data for health-related decisions. We expressly disclaim any liability arising from your reliance on the information provided through the App.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

5.1 Free and Pro Tiers

The App offers a free tier with basic functionality and a Pro tier with additional features. Pro subscriptions are available as auto-renewing subscriptions through the Apple App Store.

A 7-day free trial may be offered on the yearly Pro subscription. Eligibility is determined by Apple based on your Apple ID's purchase history (one free trial per Apple ID per subscription group, per Apple's policy). At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid yearly subscription at the displayed price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. You can cancel at any time through your App Store Account Settings or by tapping "Manage Subscription" in the App's Settings.

5.2 Billing and Auto-Renewal

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. By purchasing a Pro subscription, you agree to Apple's terms of service and payment policies. The current subscription title, length (e.g., monthly or annual), and price per period are displayed in the App's paywall at the point of purchase.

Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the then-current subscription price, unless you change your subscription plan.

You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal at any time by going to your App Store Account Settings after purchase. The App also provides a "Manage Subscription" button in Settings that deep-links you to the App Store subscription management screen. Cancellation of the current subscription period is not allowed once the period has been paid for — partial refunds are not offered for unused portions.

Pro subscriptions are eligible for Apple Family Sharing per Apple's standard handling, if you enable Family Sharing on your account.

5.3 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings, or by tapping "Manage Subscription" in the App's Settings (which deep-links you to the App Store subscription screen). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain Pro access until that date. No partial refunds are provided for unused portions of a subscription period. Refund requests must be directed to Apple in accordance with their refund policies.

5.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. Any price changes will apply to the next billing cycle following notice of the change. Continued use of the Pro tier after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other user accounts, or our servers and infrastructure;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App;
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the App or the servers or networks connected to it;
• Use automated systems, bots, or scripts to access or interact with the App without our prior written consent;
• Use the App to transmit malicious code, viruses, or any other harmful content;
• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or entity;
• Submit deliberately false profile data (e.g., grossly inaccurate height, weight, activity level, or fitness goal) for purposes other than personal protein tracking;
• Use the barcode scanner, food search, or any other feature to bulk-extract data from third-party nutrition providers or otherwise scrape or republish their data;
• Share, sell, or otherwise transfer your account access to another person.

7. Intellectual Property

The App and all associated content, features, and functionality — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, software, and design elements — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any portion of the App without our prior written consent.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of the data you submit through the App, including: meal entries and protein logs; profile and onboarding data (height, weight, activity level, fitness goal); custom foods you create; favorite foods you save; custom meal reminders you schedule; and your selected personality preference. By submitting content, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, process, and display that data solely for the purpose of providing and improving the App's services on your behalf — including rendering it on your home-screen widgets, lock-screen widgets, and paired Apple Watch. We will not share your individual nutrition or profile data with third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services: Firebase (Google LLC) for authentication and push-notification delivery via Firebase Cloud Messaging, which in turn routes through Apple Push Notification service (APNs); FatSecret for nutrition data and food search; RevenueCat, Inc. for in-app subscription management; and Apple Inc. for payment processing (via the App Store), push notification delivery (via APNs), and device-to-device sync (via the WatchConnectivity framework). Your use of the App may be subject to the terms and policies of these third-party providers. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of third-party services or the data they provide.

10. Notifications and Personality-Based Copy

The App can send push notifications including meal reminders, streak protection, win-back reminders, and a weekly summary digest. By enabling notifications, you consent to receive them. You may disable any notification type at any time in Settings → Notifications inside the App, or disable all SpotterPal notifications in iPhone Settings → Notifications → SpotterPal.

You can select a personality preference (such as Coach, Trainer, Hype, Drill Sergeant, Comedian, Dark Comedy, or Sass) that determines the tone of in-app copy and notification messages. Depending on the personality you select, messages may be edgy, sarcastic, deadpan, or use mild adult humor. You can switch personalities at any time in Settings.

We deliver notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging and APNs; we cannot guarantee timely delivery, which depends on your device, network conditions, and Apple's infrastructure. Notifications respect your quiet-hours preference and your selected timezone.

Pro subscribers may also enable a streak-countdown Live Activity on the iOS lock screen and Dynamic Island. When enabled and eligibility conditions are met (active streak, behind today's goal in the evening), the App starts a Live Activity that updates in real time via ActivityKit push tokens. The Live Activity ends automatically at midnight in your local timezone, when you hit your goal, or when you dismiss it from the lock screen. You can disable the Live Activity at any time in Settings → Notifications.
