Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Macro Logic G.K. (Macro Logic LLC; in Japanese, Macro Logic合同会社), a company organized in Japan ("Macro Logic," "we," "us") for your use of the PetitePlate app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Not medical advice
PetitePlate is a wellness and food-logging tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Nutrition values are estimates from AI and public food databases. It does not calculate or recommend medication doses. Always consult your healthcare provider.
- PetitePlate does not calculate, convert, recommend, or schedule medication doses, and does not tell you when or whether to start, change, or stop any medication. Any medication name or day you enter is only shown back to you.
- Protein goals and food suggestions are general wellness information, not a diet prescribed for you. If you have kidney disease, a protein limit, diabetes, an eating disorder or a history of one, food allergies, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have any other medical condition, talk with your healthcare provider before using these targets or suggestions.
- PetitePlate is not for emergencies. If you have severe or persistent vomiting, severe stomach pain, signs of dehydration, or any symptom that worries you, contact your healthcare provider. In an emergency, call 911.
- Using PetitePlate does not create a doctor-patient or other healthcare relationship with us.
2. Estimates can be wrong
AI estimates are a Premium feature. An AI service (Google's, or OpenAI's as a backup only when Google's fails or is unavailable) identifies foods and portion sizes from your photo or description. When a food matches an entry in the public food databases built into the app (USDA FoodData Central and Health Canada's Canadian Nutrient File 2015), its protein and calories come from that database; otherwise they are estimated by the AI. Database values are general reference values, not measurements of your specific food or brand. All of these values may be inaccurate or incomplete. Photos and descriptions you submit are sent to Google, or to OpenAI as a backup, to produce the estimate, as explained in our Privacy Policy; please do not include people or personal information in them. Check them and edit as needed. Always read product labels for allergens and ingredients, and follow storage and use-by dates. Do not rely on PetitePlate to identify allergens or decide whether a food is safe for you.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and located in the United States to use PetitePlate. You must be able to form a binding contract and must not be barred from using the Service under applicable law.
4. Your account
You sign in with Apple (on iPhone) or Google. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your device and sign-in secure. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Deleting your account permanently deletes your data and does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription.
5. Plans, subscriptions, and payment
| Plan | Price (USD) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | No time limit. Manual meal logging, your protein goal and daily minimum line, no-cook suggestions for days you can't eat (from a built-in list), symptom check-ins, and CSV export. AI estimates are not included. |
| Premium Monthly | $7.99 / month | Free features plus AI meal estimates from photos and descriptions. Auto-renewing subscription. |
| Premium Yearly | $39.99 / year | Same as Premium Monthly. Auto-renewing subscription; 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. |
- Payment. On iPhone, purchases are made through your Apple ID and processed by Apple, and payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends. On Android, purchases are made through Google Play and processed by Google, and payment is charged to the payment method in your Google Play account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends.
- Auto-renewal. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. App Store: the subscription renews unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. Google Play: the subscription renews unless you cancel before your renewal date, and your Google Play account will be charged for renewal on the renewal date.
- Free trial. App Store: if you start a free trial and do not cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, your yearly subscription begins and you will be charged; any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription. Google Play: if you start a free trial and do not cancel before it ends, your yearly subscription begins and you will be charged. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple or Google Play.
- Manage or cancel. On iPhone, go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or your App Store account settings. On Android, open the Google Play Store app → your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, or go to play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Deleting the app or your PetitePlate account does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds. Except where required by law, we do not provide refunds for subscription fees ourselves. App Store: refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play: refunds are handled by Google under the Google Play refund policy. You can request one through Google Play (see Google Play Help). Nothing in these terms limits any refund rights you have under Apple's or Google's policies or under applicable law.
- How Premium is checked. Premium access comes only from purchases made through the App Store or Google Play. We confirm it with Apple or Google Play, both on your device and on our servers, which receive your subscription status directly from the store and save it with your account (see our Privacy Policy). A subscription belongs to the Apple ID or Google Play account you used to buy it, and a subscription bought on one platform may not unlock Premium on the other. On a new device, sign in to the same Apple ID (iPhone) or Google Play account (Android) and tap Restore purchases.
- Your data stays. If you cancel or your subscription ends, you keep your logged data and can keep using the Free plan.
- Fair use. Premium includes unlimited AI estimates for normal personal use. To protect the Service, we may limit unusually high or automated use; we will tell you in the app if a limit applies.
- Changes. Prices and features may change. Apple or Google Play will notify you of subscription price increases as their rules require, and you can cancel before a change applies. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
6. App store terms (Apple App Store and Google Play)
If you downloaded PetitePlate from the Apple App Store, your use of the app is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). These Terms add to the Apple EULA; if they conflict, the Apple EULA controls to the extent of the conflict as it relates to the app license. You also acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and Macro Logic only, not Apple. Macro Logic, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection, privacy, or similar claims.
- Macro Logic, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that the app infringes 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 you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
Google Play. If you downloaded PetitePlate from Google Play, your use of Google Play, including purchases made through it, is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. These Terms are between you and Macro Logic only, not Google, and Macro Logic, not Google, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
7. License and acceptable use
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple or Android devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and, if you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, the Apple EULA. You agree not to:
- copy, modify, reverse engineer, or resell the Service, except as the law allows;
- bypass usage limits, App Check, or other security features, or use bots or automated means to access the Service;
- submit content that is unlawful, infringes others' rights, or includes other people's personal information without permission;
- use the Service to give medical advice to others or for any commercial or clinical purpose; or
- interfere with or disrupt the Service.
8. Your content
You own the information, photos, and text you submit ("Your Content"). You give us a limited license to host, process, and transmit Your Content only as needed to provide the Service to you, including sending photos and descriptions to our AI provider for estimates, as described in our Privacy Policy. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except as needed to complete deletion.
9. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, text, and food suggestions, is owned by Macro Logic or its licensors and protected by law. "PetitePlate" and our logos are our trademarks. Medication brand names belong to their owners. Food data includes USDA FoodData Central (U.S. Department of Agriculture, public domain) and the Canadian Nutrient File 2015 (Health Canada), which contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada; see Settings → About → Data sources in the app. USDA and Health Canada do not endorse PetitePlate. PetitePlate is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any drug manufacturer, pharmacy, or healthcare provider.
10. Third-party services
The Service relies on services from Apple, Google, and OpenAI (for example sign-in, payments, subscription verification, hosting, and AI). Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of those services, and we are not responsible for them.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service, AI estimates, or suggestions will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that they will produce any particular health, nutrition, or weight result.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Macro Logic and its members, managers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $50.
Some states do not allow certain disclaimers or limits on liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence where such limits are prohibited.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Macro Logic against third-party claims arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Service.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms, or if we must for legal or security reasons. If we discontinue the Service, we will give you reasonable notice when possible and a chance to export your data. Sections 1, 2, and 8 through 16 survive termination.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@macro-logic.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. The Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
If you are a consumer in the United States, this choice of law and court does not take away the protection of laws of your state of residence that cannot be waived by contract, including consumer protection and privacy laws (such as Washington's My Health My Data Act), and does not prevent you from bringing a claim in the courts of your state of residence, including small claims court, where those laws give you that right.
16. General
These Terms, together with the policies linked above and, if you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, the Apple EULA, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We may update these Terms by posting a new version here; if a change is material, we will notify you in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the change.
