Terms of service

In short

These terms cover the Good Gut Eats app, the website at goodguteats.com, and the Good Gut Eats accounts on social platforms. By using any of them you agree to these terms. Good Gut Eats is a wellness tool, not medical advice. Its allergy and diet checks are a guide, not a guarantee, so always read the label. Use the app for yourself, lawfully, and do not try to break it. You can delete your account at any time.

Who we are

Good Gut Eats is built and operated by Pat Roberts, a solo developer. "We" and "us" on this page mean Good Gut Eats. You can reach us at support@goodguteats.com.

Not medical advice

Good Gut Eats is a general wellness app that supports a healthy lifestyle and personal pattern recognition. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The patterns it shows you from your food and symptom logs are observations, not a diagnosis. Recipes, nutrition estimates, and everything we post are general information.

Talk to a registered dietitian or physician before starting a new diet or making changes for a health concern. If you have severe or persistent symptoms, contact a qualified healthcare provider. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Allergy and diet checks are a guide

The app can check recipes and foods against the restrictions you set, such as an allergy, or a diet such as vegetarian or vegan, and tell you when something looks like it does not fit. Please read this part carefully if you have a food allergy.

• The checks work from ingredient names and food data from public databases, recipe sources, and AI parsing. Any of these can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date.
• Some ingredients cannot be checked, and the app marks them as not yet checked. A missing warning does not mean a food is safe.
• Products change their recipes, and the same product can be made differently in different places. Cross-contact in a factory or kitchen is not something the app can see.
• Always read the label of every product you buy, and ask when eating food someone else made. If you have a serious allergy, follow your doctor's advice over anything the app says.

Who can use Good Gut Eats

Good Gut Eats is intended for people 16 and older. The app is free and has no in-app purchases.

Your account

• You sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• What you log, import, or type stays yours. You let us store and process it only to run the app for you, as the privacy policy describes.
• You can delete your account in the app at any time. The data deletion page explains how and what is removed.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk.

Acceptable use

When you use the app, the website, or our accounts on social platforms, please do not:

• break the law, or use the service to harm, harass, or deceive anyone;
• try to get into accounts or data that are not yours, or probe, overload, or work around the security of the service;
• scrape, copy, or resell the app or its content in bulk, or use automated tools against it other than the public pages and files we publish for that purpose;
• upload anything you do not have the right to share, or anything that infringes someone else's rights;
• reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it.

Recipes and content

The recipes, text, photos, and design of Good Gut Eats belong to us or to the people who licensed them to us. When a recipe comes from a creator, we credit them. You may cook from our recipes and share links to them. Please do not republish our recipes, photos, or videos as your own.

If you import a recipe from a web link or a photo, you are responsible for having the right to use it for your own cooking.

What we post on social platforms

We post recipes, cooking videos, and general food education on platforms such as TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Some of it is made with the help of software, including AI tools, and we review what we post. It is general information, not medical advice, and it is not tailored to you. Each platform's own terms and privacy policy apply when you use it. The app does not offer sign-in with those platforms, and nothing from your accounts there is linked to a Good Gut Eats account.

The service can change

Good Gut Eats is run by one person and is still being built. Features may change, pause, or end, and the service may sometimes be unavailable or wrong. We provide it as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any harm that comes from relying on the app instead of reading a label or asking a professional. Because the service is free, our total liability for any claim about it is limited to 100 US dollars. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have under the law that cannot be waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. If you live somewhere that gives you consumer rights these terms cannot override, those rights still apply.

Changes to these terms

We will update the date at the top of this page whenever these terms change. If a change is material, we will say so in the app. Using Good Gut Eats after a change means you accept the new terms.
