- Daily allowances reset at midnight in your own time zone; monthly allowances at midnight on the 1st. Failed AI scans and failed barcode lookups don’t count.
- Fair-use and safety limits apply to every plan to keep AI costs sustainable. Current limits are always shown in the app.
- If we reduce what Premium includes, we will tell you in advance, and you can cancel before the change affects you.
3. Billing through Apple
- Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple’s App Store and is charged to your Apple ID.
- Apple handles all payments. We never see or store your card or bank details. We receive only the subscription status, period, renewal and expiry dates, and Apple’s product and transaction identifiers, so we can unlock Premium for your account.
- One Premium subscription unlocks Premium for one CalDefiq account. Sign in to the same CalDefiq account on each device.
4. Automatic renewal
- Your subscription renews automatically for the same period (a month or a year) at the then-current price, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- If the price of a subscription you already have changes, Apple notifies you in advance and, where required, asks for your consent before the new price applies.
- If a renewal payment fails, Apple may retry for a period and may give you a grace period during which Premium stays active.
5. How to cancel
You can cancel at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Premium stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are not charged again.
On your iPhone
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
- Tap CalDefiq.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
You can also open Apple’s subscription settings from CalDefiq: Profile → CalDefiq Premium → Manage or cancel subscription.
Deleting your CalDefiq account does not cancel your subscription. Apple keeps billing until you cancel in your Apple ID settings. Cancel first if you no longer want Premium.
Switching between monthly and yearly
Choose the other plan in Apple’s subscription settings for CalDefiq. Apple decides when the change takes effect and how any remaining time is handled.
6. Refunds
- Because Apple processes the payment, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies and applicable law. We cannot issue App Store refunds ourselves.
- To request a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, and choose the CalDefiq purchase.
- If Apple refunds a purchase, Premium for that purchase ends.
- Your rights under consumer-protection law where you live are not affected.
7. Restore purchases and changing phones
After reinstalling CalDefiq or moving to a new phone, sign in to the same CalDefiq account and tap Restore Purchases on the Premium screen.
8. When Premium ends
- Your account returns to the Free plan and its allowances.
- Nothing you saved is deleted. Progress photos and recipes above the Free limits stay in your account; you just can’t add more until you are under the limit or subscribe again.
- What’s in My Fridge? is no longer available.
9. Complimentary access
We may occasionally give an account complimentary Premium for a limited time, for example for testing or support. Complimentary access is not a paid subscription, is never charged, and ends automatically at the end of the period we set.
