By creating an account, accessing, or using Mealchat ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service.

Mealchat is operated by Purpose Labs LLC, a company incorporated in the State of Wyoming, United States. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Purpose Labs LLC ("Mealchat", "we", "us", or "our"). Please read them carefully.

2. Eligibility

To use Mealchat, you must:

  • Be at least 16 years of age
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction

Mealchat processes health-related data including calorie intake, body metrics, and nutritional information. Due to the sensitive nature of this data and the potential impact of calorie tracking on younger users, we enforce a minimum age of 16 globally, in line with GDPR Article 9 requirements for health data processing.

We verify your age during account setup based on the date of birth you provide. If we learn that a user does not meet the minimum age requirement, we will terminate their account and delete their data.

  • AI-powered meal analysis and calorie estimation
  • Macronutrient and micronutrient tracking
  • Body metric tracking (weight, goals, progress)
  • Personalized daily calorie and macro targets
  • Meal photo storage and food recognition
  • Push notifications for meal reminders and streak updates

  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you authorized them

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Health Data and Consent

Mealchat collects and processes health-related data, including your weight, height, date of birth, biological sex, body composition, meals, food photos, and nutritional information. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this data is classified as "special category" data.

  • Required to use the core features of Mealchat
  • Separate from your acceptance of these Terms of Use
  • Withdrawable at any time by deleting your account

For full details on how your health data is collected, used, stored, and protected, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

6. Health and Medical Disclaimer

Mealchat is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The calorie and nutritional estimates provided by Mealchat are approximations generated by artificial intelligence and may not be accurate. They should not be used as the sole basis for dietary decisions, especially if you have medical conditions such as diabetes, eating disorders, food allergies, or other health concerns.

Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or nutritionist before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately.

By using Mealchat, you acknowledge that:

  • Nutritional estimates are AI-generated approximations, not precise measurements
  • The Service is intended as a general wellness tool, not a clinical nutrition tool
  • You should not rely solely on Mealchat for managing any medical condition
  • We are not responsible for any health outcomes resulting from your use of the Service

7. AI-Generated Content

Mealchat uses artificial intelligence to analyze meals and estimate nutritional content. You understand and agree that:

  • AI-generated nutritional estimates may contain errors or inaccuracies
  • Food identification from photos may misidentify items or portion sizes
  • Calorie and macro estimates can vary significantly from actual values, especially for complex, homemade, or restaurant dishes
  • You can and should review and manually adjust AI-generated estimates when you notice inaccuracies

We continuously work to improve the accuracy of our AI, but cannot guarantee the correctness of any individual estimate.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of all content you submit to Mealchat, including meal descriptions, food photos, and voice recordings ("User Content").

By submitting User Content, you grant Mealchat a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to process, store, and analyze your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This includes:

  • Sending meal descriptions and photos to AI providers for nutritional analysis
  • Sending voice recordings to transcription providers for text conversion
  • Storing food photos on our cloud infrastructure for display in your meal log

We do not use your User Content for training AI models, advertising, or any purpose other than providing the Service to you. When you delete your account, all User Content is permanently deleted.

Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wyoming, United States.

For users in the European Union: Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence. You may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

The European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged and generally not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

20. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

You and Purpose Labs LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify.

Class action waiver: You and Purpose Labs LLC agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You expressly waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Opt-out right: You may opt out of this arbitration and class action waiver by sending written notice to legal@mealchat.ai within 30 days of creating your account. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court as described in Section 19.

EU users: This section does not apply to users residing in the European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland. If you reside in these jurisdictions, your statutory rights to access courts and participate in collective proceedings remain unaffected.

21. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, third-party service provider outages, cyberattacks, or other force majeure events.

22. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • Notify you via in-app notification or email for changes that materially affect your rights
  • Provide at least 30 days' notice before significant changes take effect

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Purpose Labs LLC regarding your use of the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.
