YallaFit Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("user", "you", or "your") and the operator of the YallaFit mobile and web application, doing business under the trade name Rind, based in Ajman, United Arab Emirates ("Rind", "we", "us", or "our"), and govern your access to and use of YallaFit and any related services (collectively, the "Service" or the "App").

By downloading, installing, registering for, or using YallaFit, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Definitions

In these Terms:

• Account means your registered user account on the Service.
• AI Features means features that use third-party Artificial Intelligence to recognize food, transcribe voice, or interpret text you submit to the App.
• Content means any text, images, photos, audio, recipes, meal data, weight entries, exercise logs, or other material made available through the Service, whether by us or by users.
• Subscription means a paid, recurring plan that unlocks premium features of the App.
• User Content means any Content you submit, upload, post, or otherwise make available through the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least thirteen (13) years old to use the Service. If you reside in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you must be at least sixteen (16) years old, or such other age set by the laws of your country of residence. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to that entity.

The Service is not intended for, and you may not use it on behalf of, any person who is barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the European Union, or any other applicable jurisdiction.

3. Your Account

To access most features of the Service you must create an Account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering.
• Keep your Account credentials confidential and not share them with anyone.
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account.
• Notify us immediately at support@therinds.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your Account.

We reserve the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any Account at our discretion if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your Account credentials.

4. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Rind grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use one copy of the App on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

This license does not give you any ownership rights in the App. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Rind.

5. Not Medical, Nutritional, or Fitness Advice

YallaFit is not a medical device. The Service is provided for general informational and self-tracking purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical, nutritional, dietetic, psychological, or fitness advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Calorie targets, macro-nutrient splits, water intake recommendations, weight projections, exercise suggestions, AI food-recognition results, and any other estimates produced by the Service are based on widely used formulas (such as Mifflin–St Jeor for basal metabolic rate) and machine-learning models. They are approximations and may be materially inaccurate.

You should consult a qualified healthcare professional, registered dietitian, or licensed fitness specialist before:

• Beginning any new diet, fasting regimen, weight-loss program, or exercise routine.
• Making significant changes to your nutrition or activity levels, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, under the age of eighteen (18), elderly, recovering from injury, taking medication, or have any medical condition (including but not limited to diabetes, eating disorders, kidney or liver disease, cardiovascular conditions, or hormonal disorders).

Do not disregard, avoid, or delay professional medical advice because of anything you read, see, or interact with in the Service. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or local emergency services immediately.

By using the Service you acknowledge and accept full responsibility for any decisions you make based on information provided by the App.

6. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses third-party Artificial Intelligence (currently provided by OpenAI, L.L.C.) to analyze food photos, transcribe voice meal logs, and interpret free-text food descriptions. AI-generated outputs, including identified food items, portion sizes, and nutritional values, are estimates produced by automated systems and may be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading.

You agree to review and verify any AI-generated output before relying on it for nutritional, medical, dietary, allergy-related, or any other purposes. Rind is not liable for any decision you make based on AI-generated Content. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or any condition for which incorrect nutritional information could pose a risk, do not rely on AI-generated estimates.

7. Subscriptions, Pricing, Renewals, and Refunds

7.1 Free and paid features

The Service offers both free and paid features. Paid features require an active Subscription, which is sold and billed exclusively through the Apple App Store (for iOS users) or Google Play (for Android users).

7.2 Pricing and currency

Prices are displayed at the point of purchase and may vary by country, platform, and currency. Applicable taxes and platform fees may apply.

7.3 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as selected) unless you cancel them at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current period, in accordance with the Apple App Store and Google Play subscription rules. Your account will be charged for renewal within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current period at the then-current rate.

7.4 Free trial

If we offer a free trial, the trial begins when you start the Subscription and ends after the period stated at the point of purchase. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription and you will be charged the applicable price.

7.5 Cancellation

You can cancel a Subscription at any time through your Apple ID settings (iOS) or Google Play account (Android). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you will continue to have access to paid features until then.

7.6 Refunds

All payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to those stores' own refund policies. Rind does not directly process refunds. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please request it through the relevant store. Where applicable consumer-protection laws (such as the EU Consumer Rights Directive) grant you a statutory right of withdrawal, that right is preserved.

7.7 Price changes

We may change the price of Subscriptions from time to time. We will notify you in advance of any price increase. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel your Subscription before the new price takes effect.

8. Acceptable Use

• Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the App, except where such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our servers, or the networks connected to the Service.

"YallaFit" and the YallaFit logo are trademarks of Rind. You may not use them without our prior written permission. All other trademarks displayed in the Service are the property of their respective owners.

12. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with services provided by third parties (including but not limited to OpenAI, Open Food Facts, Apple App Store and Sign in with Apple, Google Play and Sign in with Google, Supabase, and Cloudflare).
