Arei Terms of Use

Version: 2026-11-10 · Status: Final · Effective date: 2026-11-10

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Rani Bungay ("we", "us", "our"), who provides the Arei app for iPhone and Apple Watch ("Arei"). By creating an account or using Arei, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use Arei.

1. Who can use Arei

• You must be 18 or older.
• Arei is offered in the United States only.
• Your account is for you alone. Don't create an account for someone else or share yours.

2. What Arei does

Arei helps you track what you eat. You describe a meal by typing on your iPhone or speaking on your Apple Watch, and Arei uses artificial intelligence to estimate its calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Arei also suggests daily targets based on the answers you give, shows trends and a weekly AI report, can remind you to log meals, and can read your weight from Apple Health if you allow it.

We may change, add, or remove features over time. We'll try to tell you in the app before we remove something important.

3. Estimates, not medical advice

• Every nutrition value in Arei is an estimate and may be wrong. Portions, recipes, brands, and restaurant items vary, and the AI can misunderstand what you meant. You can edit any entry.
• Arei is not a medical device and does not give medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Calorie and macro targets are general suggestions, not a prescription.
• Talk to a qualified healthcare provider before changing your diet, especially if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, take medication that affects appetite or weight, or have a history of disordered eating.
• Don't use Arei in an emergency. If you think you have a medical problem, contact a healthcare provider or emergency services.

4. How AI is used

• To estimate nutrition, Arei sends what you log (your food description) to a third-party AI service, currently Anthropic's Claude. For the weekly report, it sends weekly summary numbers and the names of up to five of your most-logged foods. Arei does not send your name or email to the AI service.
• For brand and restaurant items, the AI may search the web for published nutrition information. Arei shows a source link only when one came from that search. We don't control third-party websites and aren't responsible for their content.
• AI output can be incomplete or incorrect. Check anything that matters to you before relying on it.

5. Your account

• You can sign up with Apple, Google, or an email and password. Keep your sign-in details secure; you're responsible for activity on your account.
• Give accurate information. Your targets are only as good as the answers you provide.
• Tell us at the contact below if you believe someone else is using your account.

6. Subscription, free trial, and billing

• Arei requires a subscription. There is no free plan. The available plans, prices, and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy.
• Billing is handled by Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Apple's terms for in-app purchases also apply.
• Automatic renewal: your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings, or from Settings › Subscription in Arei.
• Free trial: if a free trial is offered and you're eligible, it starts when you confirm. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts to the paid plan shown at purchase. Apple allows one introductory offer per subscription group.
• Refunds: we don't issue refunds ourselves. Refund requests go to Apple, and Apple decides them under its policies. If Apple refunds a purchase, access that came from it ends.
• Deleting your Arei account does not cancel your Apple subscription. Cancel it in your Apple Account settings to stop future charges.
• Price changes follow Apple's rules, including any notice or consent Apple requires.
• Complimentary access: we may give some people free access for a period at our discretion. We can end it, and it can't be transferred or exchanged for money.

7. Fair use

To keep Arei available and affordable for everyone, we may limit how much you can use AI features in a day. If you reach a limit, Arei will tell you; your entries are saved, and you can set calories yourself or try again later.

8. Your content

• What you enter (food logs, weights, goals, and other answers) stays yours.
• You give us permission to store, process, and transmit it only as needed to run Arei for you: for example, to save it to your account, sync it between your iPhone and Apple Watch, estimate nutrition, and create your reports.
• We don't sell your data and don't use it for advertising. Our Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explain what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and your choices.

9. Acceptable use

Don't:

• break the law or use Arei to harm anyone;
• try to access other people's accounts or data, or parts of Arei you aren't allowed to reach;
• interfere with Arei, overload it, or get around its security or usage limits;
• use bots or automated tools to use Arei or extract data from it;
• copy, reverse engineer, or resell Arei, except as the law allows; or
• submit content you don't have the right to share.

10. Apple Health and Apple Watch

If you allow it, Arei reads your weight from Apple Health. Arei doesn't write anything to Apple Health. You can turn this off at any time in the Health app or in Settings › Apple Health in Arei. The Apple Watch app works with your iPhone and your Arei account.

11. Our rights in Arei

Arei, including its design, text, graphics, and software, belongs to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use Arei on Apple devices you own or control, under these Terms and the App Store's usage rules. The license to the app itself is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, unless we provide a different one.

12. Third-party services

Arei relies on services from others, including Apple (App Store, Sign in with Apple, Apple Health), Google (Google sign-in and Firebase hosting, database, and sign-in services), and Anthropic (AI estimates). Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms. You agree to follow any third-party terms that apply to how you use Arei.

13. Ending your use

• You can stop using Arei at any time. You can delete your account in Settings › Account › Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and the data stored with it. It can't be undone.
• We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering Arei. If we stop offering Arei entirely, we'll try to give reasonable notice in the app.

14. Disclaimers

Arei is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or the accuracy of any estimate or information. We don't promise Arei will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of Arei. Our total liability for any claim relating to Arei is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Arei in the 12 months before the claim or US$50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

16. Indemnity

If you break these Terms or the law while using Arei and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim, to the extent the law allows.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. If we can't resolve it within 60 days, either of us may bring the claim in small claims court, or in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Nothing here limits rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the state where you live.

18. Apple-specific terms

• These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Arei and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Arei.
• If Arei fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation for Arei.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims relating to Arei, including product liability claims, claims that Arei fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection or privacy claims, and claims that Arei infringes someone's intellectual property.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and ask for your consent again where the law requires it. The version and effective date at the top show which Terms apply.

20. General

If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect. If we don't enforce a part right away, we haven't waived it. You can't transfer these Terms to someone else; we may transfer them as part of a sale or reorganization of Arei. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about Arei.
