Terms and Conditions
Last updated: April 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Calorie Pirates Android application (“the App”), operated by Calorie Pirates (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
We are based in the United Kingdom. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or guardian to use the App.
2. Your Account
To access most features you must create an account using an email address and password, or via Google Sign-In. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your login credentials secure and confidential
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Subscription & In-App Purchases
Calorie Pirates offers the following access tiers:
- Free — limited access to core features at no cost
- Trial — temporary access to premium features after registration
- Early Adopter — extended premium access granted to qualifying early users
- Premium — full access purchased via an in-app purchase through Google Play
All purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. Prices are displayed in the App before you confirm any purchase. We do not handle or store your payment details — these are managed entirely by Google.
Purchases are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or as provided under Google Play’s refund policy. To request a refund, contact Google Play directly.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the App to:

- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App
- Circumvent any access controls, premium restrictions, or security measures
- Upload or transmit malicious code, spam, or harmful content
- Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair our systems
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users’ accounts or data
5. Health Disclaimer
Calorie Pirates is a general health and fitness tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The calorie targets, macro recommendations, and progress data displayed in the App are estimates based on information you provide and standard nutritional formulas.
You should always consult a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or health management — particularly if you have an existing medical condition, are pregnant, or have a history of eating disorders.
We are not liable for any health outcomes arising from your use of the App or reliance on its data.
6. Data & Privacy
Our collection and use of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By using the App you agree to our Privacy Policy.
Your food logs, weight data, and health information are stored locally on your device and, where applicable, synced to Firebase Firestore. You can export your data at any time via the in-app “Download My Data” feature, and request deletion by contacting us at [email protected].
7. Intellectual Property
All content within the App — including but not limited to the Calorie Pirates name, logo, design, interface, exercise library content, and written copy — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the App without our prior written consent.
You retain ownership of any personal data and content you enter into the App (food logs, notes, etc.). You grant us a limited licence to store and process that data solely to operate the App for you.
8. Third-Party Services
The App integrates with third-party services including Firebase (Google), OpenAI, Android Health Connect, and Google Play Billing. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party services.
9. Availability & Updates
We aim to keep the App available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any loss caused by downtime or changes to the App.
We may push updates automatically via the Google Play Store. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of any changes.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind
- We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free from inaccuracies
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App
- Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the 12 months preceding the claim
Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. To request full deletion of your account and associated data, contact us at [email protected].
We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, with or without prior notice. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify users via the App or email. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
