Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-05-24 · Last reviewed: 2026-10-08
Contents
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and PureBariatric ("we", "our") governing your access to and use of the PureBariatric mobile and web application ("the App") and the websites at purebariatric.app and purebariatric.com (collectively, "the Services"). By installing, opening, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
2. Educational use only
The Services provide general educational information and tracking tools for people recovering from bariatric surgery. The Services are not a medical device. The Services do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prescribe. They do not replace the advice of your surgeon, dietitian, family physician, or any other licensed healthcare professional.
Always follow your own clinical team's instructions. If they conflict with anything in the Services, follow your clinical team.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. The Services are intended for adults recovering from, or preparing for, bariatric surgery.
4. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, distribute, or create derivative works of the Services except as expressly permitted by law.
5. User content
Any content you enter into the App — food log entries, fluids, supplements, symptoms, photos used in the optional AI photo scan, and Coach questions — remains yours. As described in our Privacy Policy, your journal is stored on your device. Coach conversations and subscription status are stored on our servers so those features work.
6. Third-party services
The optional AI photo scan uses OpenAI (United States) to identify food, with Anthropic (United States) as a backup and for a portion review. Coach replies are generated by Anthropic. Nothing is sent to either provider until you turn the feature on and allow it. Full details are in section 4 of our Privacy Policy. In-app subscriptions are processed by Apple and managed through RevenueCat.
Distribution of the App through Apple's App Store is also governed by Apple's standard end-user license agreement for licensed applications.
Subscriptions in the iOS app
PureBariatric Pro plans bought in the iOS app (Founder's Pro monthly, Standard Pro monthly and Annual Pro subscriptions, and the Founder's Pro Lifetime and Standard Pro Lifetime one-time purchases) are sold and billed by Apple through your Apple Account. The price and billing period are shown before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from Manage Subscriptions in the App.
Lifetime plans are one-time, non-renewing purchases tied to your Apple Account; use Restore Purchases to unlock them on another device. Founder's Pro is limited to the first 100 members and Founder's Pro Lifetime to the first 25; once those spots are claimed the founder options are no longer offered.
Refunds for purchases made through Apple are handled by Apple under its policies. Deleting your PureBariatric account or the App does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it in iOS Settings.
7. Medical disclaimer
The Services are not designed to detect, diagnose, monitor, treat, cure, prevent, or alleviate any disease, injury, or disability. The Services are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you experience uncontrolled vomiting, signs of dehydration, fever, severe abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptom, contact your surgical team or local emergency services immediately.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PUREBARIATRIC, ITS FOUNDERS, OFFICERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100).
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PureBariatric from any claim, liability, damage, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Services.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Services and uninstall the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or use the Services in a manner that creates legal or operational risk for us or other users.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be summarized inside the App on next launch.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts located in Alberta will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction of residence provide otherwise.
