Terms of Use

Last updated: October 18, 2026

These terms apply to the AI Food Coach app for iPhone and Android, its Apple Watch and Wear OS apps (together “the App”) and the website aifoodcoach.app. By using the App, you agree to them. How we handle your data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

1. Who we are

The App is provided by Michal Novotník, V. Clementisa 1212/16, 050 01 Revúca, Slovak Republic, IČO: 44617925, registered in the Trade Register of the District Office Rimavská Sobota, No. 650-13598, phone: +421 911 907 199, e-mail: support@aifoodcoach.app. Supervisory authority: Slovak Trade Inspection (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia), Inspectorate for the Banská Bystrica Region, Dolná 46, 974 01 Banská Bystrica.

If you are a consumer and think we have breached your rights, you can send us a request for redress at support@aifoodcoach.app. If we reject it or don’t answer within 30 days, you can submit the dispute, within 1 year, for alternative dispute resolution to the Slovak Trade Inspection (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia), Bajkalská 21/A, P.O. Box 29, 827 99 Bratislava 27, ars@soi.sk, soi.sk, or to another competent body.

2. The service

The App helps you keep track of what you eat:

• Food recognition: from a photo (also of food on a kitchen scale, whose display the AI reads), from a description you type or, on a watch, say, and from a product’s label
• Barcodes: product data from Open Food Facts, and products you add to it or complete
• Tracking: calories, macronutrients and more, your energy needs and targets, your weight and progress, with Apple Health or Health Connect if you connect it
• AI Coach: answers to your questions and insights from your data — only with your consent
• Watches: logging and your numbers on an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch

The App is free to use; Premium adds more (section 4). We keep improving the App — section 12 says how we tell you about changes.

3. No account

You don’t create an account, and we don’t ask for your name or e-mail. When the App first connects to our server, it gets a random ID; your meals and settings stay on your phone. Settings → Delete my data deletes this installation’s record on our server. Neither deleting your data nor deleting the App cancels a subscription — that is done in your store (section 4.2).

4. Free plan and Premium

4.1 Free

Each day you get a number of free AI requests, shared by food recognition from a photo or a description and the AI Coach chat, on your phone and on your watch; the App shows how many you have left (currently 3 a day). Barcode lookups, reading a product’s label and the automatic estimates of missing nutrition values don’t count.

4.2 Premium

• Premium lifts the daily limit on AI requests and adds the features listed on the Premium screen before you buy, such as your full meal history and the data export.
• Fair use: so that the service stays available to everyone and its costs stay under control, Premium has a ceiling of 50 AI requests per 4 hours, 500 per 7 days and 2,000 per 30 days. If you reach it, the App tells you when you can continue.
• Premium works on all your devices with the same store account. You can buy it in the App on your phone or on an Apple Watch.
• Price: the price the App Store or Google Play shows you before you buy.
• Free trial: if the store offers you one, it turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel it before the trial ends (on the App Store at least 24 hours before).
• Renewal: the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it before the end of the current period (on the App Store at least 24 hours before). Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google Play account.
• Cancelling: on iPhone in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, on Android in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. Premium stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, unless your store lets you end it at once and you choose that.
• Refunds and withdrawal: you buy Premium from Apple or Google, which handle payment, refunds and your statutory right of withdrawal under their own terms (reportaproblem.apple.com, Google Play: request a refund). Your statutory rights as a consumer remain.

5. Estimates, not medical advice

Food recognition, nutrition values, energy needs, targets, the glycogen estimate and the AI Coach’s answers are estimates and general information, produced partly by AI. They can be wrong — check what matters to you and correct it in the App.

The App is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. It does not replace a doctor, a dietitian or another health professional. Talk to one before big changes to your diet or training, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes, an eating disorder or another condition, or take medication.

6. Your content

What you send — photos, descriptions, messages — remains yours. You allow us to use it only to provide the service, as the Privacy Policy describes.

Open Food Facts: when you add or complete a product (“Add Product”, “Fix from label”, “Add Photo”) or change the name, brand or nutrition values of a scanned product, you confirm that you took the photos yourself, and you place your contribution irrevocably under the Database Contents License 1.0 (data) and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (photos), so that we can pass it on to Open Food Facts, which publishes it for anyone to reuse, also commercially. If you ask us, we will ask Open Food Facts to remove a contribution, but copies others have made may remain. Don’t photograph people or personal details.

7. Rules of use

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Use the App for your own, personal purposes.
• Don’t try to get around its limits, access restrictions or security, and don’t use it for automated or bulk requests.
• Don’t send content that is illegal or violates other people’s rights, and don’t use the App to create harmful content.
• Don’t copy, decompile or reverse-engineer the App, except where the law allows it.

8. Third-party services

Food recognition and the AI Coach run on AI models of OpenAI, which processes this data on our behalf (Privacy Policy, section 5) — its own terms don’t bind you. Barcode data comes from Open Food Facts, a community database whose values can be incomplete or wrong. The App Store, Google Play, Apple Health and Health Connect are services of Apple and Google under their own terms.

9. Intellectual property

The App — its design, code, texts and images — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. You get a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use it. On iPhone and Apple Watch, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where it differs from these terms, these terms apply, and it never limits the rights these terms or the law give you. Data from Open Food Facts is under its own license.

10. Liability

We take care to keep the App working and accurate, but we can’t promise that it is always available or free of errors, or that its estimates are exact (section 5). We are liable to you under the law. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where the law does not allow it — in particular for intent, gross negligence or harm to life, body or health — or your rights as a consumer, including your rights if the App does not conform to the contract (Directive (EU) 2019/770).

For Premium, we are responsible for defects during the whole period you have paid for. Report a defect to support@aifoodcoach.app; we will confirm it in writing and fix it within 30 days. If we can’t, you can ask for a lower price or end Premium, with a refund of the part of the price for the time it didn’t work and for the rest of the period.

Your meals and settings are stored on your phone: keep your device’s backup turned on so that you don’t lose them.

11. Ending the use

You can stop using the App at any time. Deleting it does not cancel a subscription — cancel it in your store (section 4.2). Settings → Delete my data deletes this installation’s record on our server. We may block the online features for an installation that seriously breaks these terms, for example by abusing the AI or getting around its limits; if it has Premium, you are entitled to a refund of the part of the price for the rest of the period.

12. Changes

We may change these terms and the App only to add or improve features, to adapt the App to new technology, to follow the law or the stores’ rules, or for security. We will publish a change to these terms here at least 30 days before it applies and mention it in the App’s release notes; if you don’t accept it, you can stop using the App and end Premium. If a change to the App makes your access to it or its use worse, unless only slightly, we will tell you in advance, and you may end Premium within 30 days of our notice or of the change, whichever is later, with a refund of the part of the price for the rest of the period you have paid for (Article 19 of Directive (EU) 2019/770).

13. Governing law and disputes

Slovak law applies. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live (Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008). As a consumer you can bring a claim against us in the courts of your country or of Slovakia, and we can bring one against you only in the courts of your country (Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012; in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, Article 16 of the Lugano Convention). For alternative dispute resolution, see section 1.

14. Final provisions and contact

If a provision of these terms is invalid, the rest stays in force. Questions: support@aifoodcoach.app.
