1. The agreement
These Terms are an agreement between you and the operator of CalDefiq, Muhammad Hassan Adnan, an individual developer (“CalDefiq”, “we”, “us”), about your use of the CalDefiq app and its related services. By creating an account or using CalDefiq, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
These pages also form part of the Terms: the Subscription & Cancellation Policy, the Health Disclaimer and the AI Disclaimer.
2. Who can use CalDefiq
- You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live requires it. If you are under the age of adulthood where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you.
- Users under 18 cannot set a weight-loss goal; CalDefiq focuses them on balanced eating instead.
- You must give accurate information and keep your sign-in details secure. You are responsible for activity on your account.
3. Wellness information, not medical advice
- CalDefiq is a general wellness, nutrition and fitness tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
- Calorie targets, AI photo estimates, food-database values, calories burned, step counts and walk distances are estimates and may be inaccurate.
- Talk to a qualified health professional before starting a diet or exercise plan, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, take medication, or have (or had) an eating disorder.
- If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services immediately.
Full details: Health Disclaimer.
4. AI features
- AI meal analysis, the CalDefiq AI assistant and weekly reports are generated by an AI provider (OpenAI) and can be wrong, incomplete or out of date.
- Check AI results before you log them, and don’t rely on them for medical, allergy or other safety decisions.
- The assistant is not a person, a doctor, a dietitian or a therapist. It can suggest adding food or water, but nothing is changed unless you confirm.
- Daily and monthly AI allowances apply (see Subscription & Cancellation Policy (Plans and prices)).
Full details: AI Disclaimer.
5. Your account and content
- You own everything you log or upload (meals, photos, notes, recipes and so on).
- You allow us to store and process that content only to provide CalDefiq to you, as described in the Privacy Policy. This includes sending meal photos to OpenAI when you use AI scanning, and your assistant messages (plus a 7-day summary of your records, only if you turn that on) when you use the assistant.
- Don’t upload anything illegal, anything you don’t have the right to share, or images of other people without their permission.
6. Free plan, Premium and limits
- CalDefiq has a free plan and an optional paid Premium subscription. Current plans, prices and limits are on the Subscription & Cancellation Policy page and in the app.
- Daily allowances reset at midnight in your time zone; monthly ones at midnight on the 1st.
- We may change features and limits. If we reduce what a paid plan includes, we will tell you in advance, and you can cancel before the change affects you.
- CalDefiq has no ads on any plan, and never will.
7. Subscriptions, payments and cancellation
- Premium is an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple’s App Store: US$6.99 per month or US$49.99 per year, or the equivalent price Apple shows for your country. There is no free trial.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
- You can cancel at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings. Premium stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
