Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and the developer of Vittelio ("we," "us"). By downloading, accessing, or using the Vittelio app (the "App"), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

General wellness, not medical advice

Vittelio is a general wellness and educational tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. The scores, plans, and suggestions it produces are general information based largely on published research on lifestyle, diet, and brain health (including the MIND diet studies), not personalized medical, nutritional, or clinical guidance. Always seek the advice of your physician or a qualified health professional before making changes to your diet, and never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read in the App. If you have a medical condition, food allergy, eating disorder, or are pregnant or nursing, consult a professional before acting on any suggestion. The allergy and dietary filters in the App are a convenience, not a guarantee — you remain responsible for verifying that any food is safe for you.

Eligibility

The App is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use it. By using the App you represent that you meet this requirement.

Your licence to use the App

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, resell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the App except where the law expressly permits it.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for the dietary and lifestyle decisions you make while using the App, and for the accuracy of the information you enter. The quality of any suggestion depends on what you tell the App. Suggestions are general options informed by research, not instructions tailored to your health.

Intellectual property

The Vittelio app — its name, branding, design, software, and the curated selection and arrangement of its content — is owned by the developer and protected by intellectual-property laws, and these Terms do not transfer any ownership to you. The developer does not claim to own the material the App is built on that is free for everyone, such as public USDA nutrition data and published research. "Vittelio" and its associated marks are the property of the developer.

Acceptable use

You agree to use the App only for lawful, personal purposes and not to interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or any system it relies on.

Apple App Store terms

These Terms are between you and the developer only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent the App is downloaded from the Apple App Store, your use is also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, and the Apple standard End User Licence Agreement (EULA) applies. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the App and no responsibility for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims.

No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its calorie figures, scores, or suggestions are complete or accurate. Some calorie and nutrient values are estimates derived from public USDA data and similar foods.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of health, data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the App, if any.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your misuse of the App or your breach of these Terms.

Changes to the App and these Terms

We may update, change, or discontinue the App or these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date here. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the developer's place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory local consumer-protection laws give you additional rights.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
