Effective date: 6 July 2026 · Last updated: 6 July 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and kaél (“we”, “us”, or “our”) governing your use of the kaél mobile application and related services (the “Service”). Please read them carefully. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use kaél (and at least 16 in the EEA/UK, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you can form a binding contract.
You are responsible for the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. You may sign in with email and password or with Google or Apple. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current.
kaél offers optional paid subscriptions (“Pro” and “Max”) and may offer a free trial period. Key terms:
kaél includes social features (a public feed, profiles, and 1:1 chat). To keep the community safe, you agree not to post, send, or share content that:
We use automated screening and human review, and we provide tools to report content and block users. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice. You are solely responsible for your content and conduct.
You retain ownership of the content you create (meals, photos, posts, messages). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt (for example, resizing and re-encoding images), and display it as needed to operate and provide the Service — including sending images and text to our AI provider for recognition and moderation as described in the Privacy Policy. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have shared or copies retained as required by law or for backup.
kaél uses artificial intelligence to identify foods, estimate nutrition, and moderate content. AI outputs are automated estimates and may be inaccurate or incomplete. You should independently verify nutrition information that matters to you (for example, for allergies or medical conditions). We are not liable for decisions you make based on AI-generated estimates.
kaél does not provide medical advice.
The Service is intended for general wellness and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Calorie, macronutrient, and activity figures are estimates. You should consult a physician or qualified health provider before starting any diet, exercise program, or health change, and especially if you have or suspect a medical condition, an eating disorder, are pregnant or nursing, or take medication. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or calculated in kaél. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately. You use the Service at your own risk.
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and the kaél name and logo, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the app for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the Service except as expressly permitted.
The Service integrates third-party services (including Apple, Google, OpenAI, and others). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or content.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, the licenses you granted end and your right to use the Service ceases; sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute terms) will survive.
The service is provided “as is”.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any estimate or recommendation is accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will kaél, its affiliates, or its suppliers 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 (or inability to use) the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or fifty U.S. dollars (USD $50). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless kaél and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
If you download kaél from the Apple App Store, the following apply and prevail over any conflicting term as between you and Apple:
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims resolution will be brought exclusively in the competent courts located in India, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing here deprives you of mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
