Terms of Service

Last updated 4 August 2026 · Effective 4 August 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and [YOUR LEGAL ENTITY NAME] (“SquadBite”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use SquadBite.

1. Who may use SquadBite

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are between 13 and 17, you may use SquadBite only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms on your behalf.

SquadBite will not generate an automated calorie or macro target for anyone under 18, and will not suggest a calorie reduction to anyone whose recorded height and weight put them in the underweight range. These are deliberate refusals, not faults.

2. Your account

• Give us an accurate email address and keep it current — it is how we verify your account and how we reach you.
• Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One account per person. Do not create accounts to evade usage limits.
• Tell us at support@squadbite.com if you think someone else has got into your account.

Because your password is stored only as a one-way hash, we cannot recover it for you.

3. Nutrition estimates and health

This section is the most important one in this document. Please read it.

3.1 Everything is an estimate

SquadBite produces nutrition figures in several ways: an AI model reading a photograph of a meal or a menu, an AI model reading a recipe page, figures published on a recipe page, entries from public food databases, and numbers you type in yourself. None of these is a laboratory measurement. Portion size, preparation, hidden fats, brand differences and simple misidentification all move the result, sometimes substantially. Where SquadBite knows a figure was estimated rather than taken from a source, it says so on screen.

3.2 What SquadBite is not

SquadBite is a general wellness and self-tracking tool. It is not a medical device, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. It does not provide medical, nutritional, or dietetic advice, and using it does not create any clinical relationship between you and us.

3.3 Do not rely on it for these

• Allergens and intolerances. SquadBite cannot reliably detect allergens from a photograph or a menu, and it does not try to. If a food could harm you, confirm it with the manufacturer, the kitchen, or the label — never with this app.
• Clinically controlled intake. If you are managing diabetes, kidney or liver disease, an eating disorder, pregnancy, or any condition where intake is directed by a clinician, follow that direction and not this app. Talk to your clinician before changing anything based on what SquadBite suggests.
• Medication decisions. Never adjust insulin or any other medication on the basis of a figure from SquadBite.

3.4 Targets and adaptive targets

Calorie and macro targets are calculated from standard population formulas using the height, weight, age, sex and activity level you enter. They are a starting point for an average person, not a prescription for you. Adaptive targets go further and estimate your energy expenditure from your own logged intake and weight trend; that estimate is only as good as the completeness and honesty of your logging, and it will refuse to produce a recommendation when it does not have enough data. Safety floors are applied and cannot be overridden. You remain responsible for deciding what to eat.

3.5 Your responsibility

You use SquadBite at your own discretion and risk. You are responsible for verifying anything that matters, for consulting a qualified professional before making significant changes to your diet, and for the consequences of decisions you make while using the app.

4. Subscriptions and payment

• SquadBite Premium is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Current prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by region.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. We never see or handle your payment details.
• Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases.
• If we change the price, you will be told and asked to consent before it applies to your renewal.
• If your subscription lapses, premium features stop and free limits apply again. Nothing you logged is deleted.

5. Fair-use limits

Some features run AI requests that cost us money for every use, so they carry limits — daily photo scans, weekly recipe imports, plan generations, and menu scans. Current limits are shown in the app. They are set well above ordinary use.

We may adjust these limits, and will not reduce them for existing subscribers in a way that materially removes what they paid for without notice. You must not attempt to circumvent limits through multiple accounts, automation, or by accessing our API outside the app.

6. Your content

Your meals, photos, recipes, notes and logs are yours. We claim no ownership of them.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and transmit your content, and to send it to the processors described in our Privacy Policy, solely so that we can operate SquadBite for you and for the squad members you choose to share with. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backup copies on their normal rotation.

You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload. Do not upload content that infringes someone else's copyright, that is unlawful, or that depicts another person without their agreement. Recipes you import from the web are stored for your personal use; the original page remains the property of its author, and SquadBite links back to it.

7. Squads and conduct

Squads are private groups. Anything you post to one is visible to every member. Do not post another person's private information, harassment, abuse, or anything unlawful. Do not use squads to pressure anyone about their body or their eating.

We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these rules. Squads have no moderation staff — you are responsible for who you invite.

8. Third-party data and links

SquadBite draws on public data from USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts and the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database, and reads recipe pages you point it at. We do not control any of these and cannot guarantee that what they publish is accurate, current, or complete. The same applies to any external link the app shows you.

9. Our intellectual property

The SquadBite app, name, logo, design and underlying software are ours and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works from it, or use it to build a competing service, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.

10. Availability and changes

We try to keep SquadBite running, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. Features may change, and features may be removed. Some depend on third-party services that can fail or change their terms without notice to us. If we discontinue the app, we will give reasonable notice so you can export or record what you need.

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use SquadBite after that means you accept the new terms.

11. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings; this is immediate and irreversible. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaks these terms, abuses the service, or creates risk for other users or for us. Sections 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16 survive termination.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SquadBite is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free, that it will be available at any given moment, or that any nutrition figure, target, estimate or recommendation it produces is accurate or suitable for you.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived under the law where you live.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SquadBite and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or health outcomes, arising out of or relating to your use of the app — including any decision you make on the basis of a nutrition estimate, a calorie target, or any other output of the app.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to SquadBite is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) fifty United States dollars.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SquadBite and its operator from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the app, your breach of these terms, or content you upload or share.

15. Apple-specific terms

These terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for SquadBite or its content.

• Your licence to use SquadBite is limited to a non-transferable licence to use it on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for SquadBite.
• If SquadBite fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to SquadBite.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim relating to SquadBite, including product liability claims, any claim that it fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that SquadBite infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [YOUR STATE], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [YOUR COUNTY AND STATE], except that either party may bring a claim in small claims court.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings there.

17. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about SquadBite. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms; we may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger or acquisition.
