Privacy. BetterMeal respects the privacy of its users. BetterMeal collects, uses and discloses information about you in accordance with the BetterMeal Privacy Policy found at https://bettermeal.ai/privacy-policy/ (“Privacy Policy”). You and your family's privacy is very important to BetterMeal. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from any child under the age of sixteen. We do not share your information except under certain circumstances as outlined in the Privacy Policy. You understand and agree that, notwithstanding any measures taken to prevent unauthorized disclosure, use of or connection to the Internet provides the opportunity for unauthorized third parties to circumvent such precautions and illegally gain access to confidential information. Accordingly, BetterMeal cannot and does not guarantee the privacy, security or authenticity of any information so transmitted over or stored in any system connected to the Internet.  
Registration. You may access certain online features of the Services through your account on the App or the Site (your “Account”). You may log into your Account using a unique username and password. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are solely responsible for any actions taken under your username. You agree that the information that you provide to BetterMeal about yourself upon registration of your Account, and at all other times, (“Customer Data”) will be true, accurate, current and complete, and you further agree that you will maintain and promptly update the Customer Data to ensure that it remains true, accurate, current and complete. You may not impersonate any other person or use a username or password that you are not authorized to use. BetterMeal reserves the right to require you to change your password for any reason at any time. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account, you agree to notify BetterMeal immediately at help@bettermeal.ai. 
Review of Content and Materials. We may review your conduct and content for compliance with these Terms and our Code of Conduct. However, we have no obligation to do so. We aren't responsible for your compliance with these Terms or the Code of Conduct, or any other party’s compliance with these Terms or the Code of Conduct. 
Third Party Software and Linking. Although we may make software, hyperlinks, and other products of third-party companies available to you, your use of such products is subject to the respective terms and conditions imposed by the third party owning, manufacturing or distributing such products, and the agreement for your use will be between you and such third party. BetterMeal makes no warranty with regard to the products or websites of any other entity. BetterMeal has no control over the content or availability of any third-party software or website. In particular, (a) BetterMeal makes no warranty that any third-party software you download or web site you visit will be free of any contaminating or destructive code, such as viruses, worms or Trojan horses and (b) it is your responsibility to become familiar with any web site's privacy and other policies and terms of service, and to contact that site's webmaster or site administrator with any concerns.
App Store Usage Rules. With respect to the Service accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each an “App Store” and references to the App Store include the corporate entity and its subsidiaries making the App Store available to you), you agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of the App Store (the “Usage Rules”) when using the App. To the extent these Terms provide for usage rules that are less restrictive than or otherwise in conflict with the Usage Rules, the more restrictive term applies. Furthermore, with respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store-Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store-Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (b) as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. 
Accessing and Downloading an App Store-Sourced Application. The following applies to any App Store-Sourced Application: 
You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are concluded between you and BetterMeal only, and not Apple, and (ii) BetterMeal, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store-Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store-Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store-Sourced Application. 
In the event of any failure of the App Store-Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store-Sourced Application to you and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store-Sourced Application. As between BetterMeal and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of BetterMeal. 
You and BetterMeal acknowledge that, as between BetterMeal and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store-Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store-Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App Store-Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. 
You and BetterMeal acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store-Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store-Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between BetterMeal and Apple, BetterMeal, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms. 
You and BetterMeal acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store-Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store-Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. 
Without limiting any other terms of these Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store-Sourced Application. 
Suspension and Termination. BetterMeal reserves the right to suspend, modify, or terminate your access to and use of the App, the Site and Services, at any time, without notice.

Availability. BetterMeal uses reasonable efforts to ensure that the online features of the Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Service will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades, and emergency repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment that are beyond the control of BetterMeal. BetterMeal will use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize such disruption where it is within the reasonable control of BetterMeal. You agree that BetterMeal shall not be liable to you for any unavailability, modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.
