Please read carefully before using Metapace.
BY TAPPING "I AGREE," "ACCEPT," OR ANY EQUIVALENT BUTTON; BY CREATING OR EDITING A PROFILE; OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE APP IN ANY WAY, YOU: (1) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY; (2) AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY BOTH DOCUMENTS; AND (3) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO DO SO. THE PRIVACY POLICY (VERSION 1.1) IS HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO THESE TERMS BY REFERENCE AND FORMS AN INTEGRAL AND INSEPARABLE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BOTH, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE APP, AND DELETE IT FROM YOUR DEVICE.
1. Acceptance of Terms & Incorporation of the Privacy Policy
These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms," "Agreement," or "EULA") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Shivang Gulati, the independent developer of Metapace ("we," "us," "our," or the "Developer"), governing your access to and use of the Metapace mobile application and all related software, services, content, documents, updates, and features (collectively, the "App").
Your acceptance of these Terms also constitutes your acceptance of the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference. By agreeing to these Terms — whether by tapping an acceptance control in the App, by acknowledging an updated version when prompted, or by continuing to use the App — you simultaneously and irrevocably (a) accept and agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy, and (b) confirm that you have had the opportunity to read, and have read and understood, both documents in full. The two documents are intended to be read together as a single, unified agreement.
Clickwrap acceptance and versioning. The App records your acceptance of these Terms, including the accepted version number. From time to time the Developer may issue an updated version of these Terms and/or the Privacy Policy. When a materially updated version is published, the App may require you to review and affirmatively accept the updated Terms before continuing to use some or all features. Your acceptance of any updated Terms shall, in the same manner described above, also constitute acceptance of the then-current Privacy Policy. Each acceptance is a fresh, standalone agreement to the then-current versions of both documents.
Continued use as acceptance. Where affirmative re-acceptance is not separately required, your continued access to or use of the App after Terms or the Privacy Policy have been updated constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, the updated documents. If you do not agree, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using and uninstall the App.
2. Definitions

3. Eligibility & Age
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and in any case at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required in your country), to use the App and to enter into this Agreement. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate. The App's calculations are not designed or intended for individuals below the supported age range, and you must not rely on them for such individuals.
4. License Grant
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use one copy of the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, and as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and the Usage Rules set out therein. This license does not grant you any ownership interest in the App. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Developer and its licensors.
5. Restrictions
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or any Content, except as expressly permitted;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying structure of the App, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the App or any Content;
- remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, branding, or labels;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, attestation, rate-limiting, subscription-gating, or access-control features;
- access the App's backend endpoints or APIs other than through the genuine, unmodified App, or use any automated means, scraper, or bot;
- use the App to build or train a competing product or service, or to develop a substantially similar application;
- use the App in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or that infringes the rights of others; or
- use the App on a jailbroken, rooted, or otherwise compromised device, or in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the App or any connected systems.
6. The App & Its Features
The App provides general wellness and informational tools, which may include: body-composition and metabolic calculations (BMR, TDEE, BMI, calorie and macronutrient targets); weight projection charts; calorie-cycling plans; an AI-generated diet plan feature; a body-composition PDF report; a food barcode scanner and pantry; a recipe library; an intermittent fasting scheduler; logging reminders; multi-member family tracking; optional Apple Health synchronization; optional private iCloud synchronization; data import/export; and feedback and support forms.
The Developer may, at any time and without liability, add, modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any feature, in whole or in part, and may impose or change usage limits, including limits tied to Subscription tier. Some features depend on third-party services and require an active internet connection; the Developer does not guarantee their continuous availability.
7. Account-Free Use & Responsibility for Your Data
The App does not require you to create an account. Your data is stored primarily on your device and, if you enable it, in your own private iCloud database. You are solely responsible for your device, your Apple ID, your iCloud account, your data, and for maintaining your own backups. The Developer does not maintain a central copy of your personal health profile and cannot recover, restore, or reset data that is lost, deleted, or corrupted, whether due to device failure, loss or theft, iCloud issues, your own actions, an app reset, uninstalling the App, or any other cause. You are responsible for exporting and backing up your data using the App's import/export feature.
8. Family Member Data & Third-Party Consent
The App lets you create and manage profiles for other individuals, such as family members. If you enter any information about another person, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right and all necessary consents and authority to do so, and to have that information processed as described in the Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of such information and for any consequences arising from entering it. You agree to indemnify the Developer in respect of any claim arising from data you enter about any third party, as set out in Section 19.
9. Subscriptions, Trials, Billing & Cancellation
Certain features require a paid auto-renewable Subscription, and the App may offer an introductory free trial. All purchases are processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store and are subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Key terms:
- Billing & auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price through your Apple ID at the end of each period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Charging. Your Apple ID is charged at confirmation of purchase and, for renewals, within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
- Free trials. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a Subscription, where applicable. If you do not cancel before a trial ends, it may convert to a paid Subscription.
- Managing & cancelling. You can manage or cancel your Subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled solely by Apple in accordance with its policies. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, and the Developer does not control and is not responsible for refund decisions.
- Price & plan changes. The Developer may change Subscription pricing, tiers, features, and usage limits prospectively; changes do not affect a period already paid for.
The Developer does not receive or store your payment card or financial account details. Any dispute regarding payment, billing, or refunds is between you and Apple.
10. Third-Party Services & Content
The App relies on and interoperates with third-party services, including Apple iCloud/CloudKit, Apple HealthKit, Apple StoreKit, Apple App Attest, a cloud AI and PDF processor, content-delivery networks, the OpenFoodFacts database, and a feedback/support backend. These services are provided by third parties under their own terms and privacy policies, over which the Developer has no control. The Developer does not endorse and is not responsible for any third-party service or content, including its accuracy, availability, security, legality, or any act or omission of the third party. Your use of any feature that depends on a third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms. Any nutrition data, recipes, or AI outputs surfaced through the App may be inaccurate or incomplete and are provided for general information only.
11. AI-Generated Content
Certain features generate content using automated artificial-intelligence systems operated by a third party. AI-generated content is produced algorithmically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or wholly unsuitable for your circumstances. It is provided for general informational and educational purposes only and is not professional dietary, nutritional, fitness, or medical advice. You are solely responsible for reviewing and evaluating any AI-generated content before relying on it, and for any decision or action you take based on it. The Developer makes no warranty regarding AI output and disclaims all liability arising from it, as set out in Sections 16 through 18.
12. Intellectual Property
The App and all Content, including its software, design, user interface, text, graphics, logos, the "Metapace" name and branding, the "Callie" mascot and related characters, and all associated intellectual property rights, are owned by the Developer or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license granted in Section 4, nothing in these Terms transfers any right, title, or interest in the App or Content to you. You must not use the Developer's names, logos, or trademarks without prior written permission. Feedback you provide may be used by the Developer as described in Section 14.
13. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the App to violate any law or regulation; to infringe any third party's rights; to upload or transmit any unlawful, harmful, or infringing material; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or data; to interfere with the integrity, security, or performance of the App or its backend; to misuse, overload, or abuse any feature or rate-limited endpoint; or to engage in any conduct that the Developer reasonably considers harmful, fraudulent, or abusive. The Developer may investigate and take appropriate action, including suspending or terminating your access, for any actual or suspected violation.
14. User Content & Feedback
You retain ownership of the data you enter into the App. You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to provide it. If you submit feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other materials to the Developer, you grant the Developer a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and exploit that feedback for any purpose, without any obligation, attribution, or compensation to you. The Developer is under no obligation to use, maintain, or keep confidential any feedback you provide.
15. Privacy
Your privacy matters. The Developer's collection and handling of information is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and which you accept when you accept these Terms (see Section 1). By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy and consent to the practices it describes. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy specifically regarding the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy controls as to that subject matter; in all other respects these Terms control.
16. Important Medical & Health Disclaimer
Metapace is a general informational and educational wellness tool. It is not a medical device, and it does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary, psychological, or professional health advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All metrics, calculations, projections, calorie and macronutrient targets, fasting schedules, recipes, AI-generated plans, and other outputs are general estimates that may be inaccurate or unsuitable for you.
Always consult a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other licensed healthcare professional before making any decision about your diet, nutrition, fasting, exercise, weight, medication, or health, and before relying on any information from the App. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of anything in the App. The App is not intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent any disease or condition.
The App may be inappropriate for certain individuals, including without limitation those who are pregnant or breastfeeding; individuals with eating disorders or a history of disordered eating; individuals with diabetes or other metabolic, cardiac, renal, or chronic conditions; and minors. If any of these apply to you, do not use the App's calorie, fasting, or weight-management features without supervision from a qualified healthcare professional. If you experience any adverse symptoms, stop using the App and seek medical attention. You use the App and act on its outputs entirely at your own risk.
17. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, CALCULATIONS, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS; THAT DATA WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, OR PRESERVED WITHOUT LOSS; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE APP OR ITS RESULTS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE APP OR THE DEVELOPER CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE APP. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH CASES WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
18. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER (SHIVANG GULATI), OR ANY OF HIS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INJURY, ILLNESS, HARM, OR LOSS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO: (a) any health, dietary, nutritional, fitness, fasting, weight, or medical decision, outcome, or condition connected in any way to your use of the App; (b) the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or suitability of any metric, calculation, projection, target, plan, recipe, or AI-generated content; (c) your reliance on any information obtained through the App; (d) any loss, corruption, or unauthorized access to data, including data on your device, in iCloud, or transmitted to third-party services; (e) any act, omission, failure, downtime, or security incident of any third-party service, including Apple, iCloud, the AI/PDF processor, content-delivery networks, OpenFoodFacts, or the feedback backend; (f) any unauthorized access to or alteration of your device or data; or (g) any interruption, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO THE DEVELOPER FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (ii) FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US $5.00). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND THAT THE APP WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT THEM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH CASES LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE SMALLEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
19. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer (Shivang Gulati) and his affiliates, contractors, and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party, including any family member or other individual whose information you enter into the App; (d) any health, dietary, fitness, or medical decision or outcome connected to your use of the App; or (e) any User Content or information you submit, generate, or transmit. The Developer may, at his own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate.
20. Assumption of Risk & Release
You knowingly and voluntarily acknowledge and accept that any use of a calorie-tracking, weight-management, fasting, or diet-planning tool carries inherent risks, and that you assume full and exclusive responsibility for all such risks. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, waive, and forever discharge the Developer (Shivang Gulati) from any and all claims, liabilities, and causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to your use of the App, including any personal injury, illness, health condition, emotional distress, financial loss, or damage of any kind. You agree that you use the App of your own free will and at your own risk, and that the Developer bears no responsibility for the consequences of your choices.
21. Apple-Specific Terms
The following terms apply because the App is distributed via Apple's App Store. You and the Developer acknowledge that:
- Agreement with the Developer only. This Agreement is concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Scope of license. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Maintenance and support. The Developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.
- Warranty. To the extent any warranty is not effectively disclaimed, Apple may refund the purchase price of the App (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the Developer's sole responsibility.
- Product claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection or similar claims, subject to the limitations of liability in these Terms.
- Intellectual property claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
22. Term & Termination
These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. The Developer may, at its sole discretion and without notice or liability, suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the App or any feature, in whole or in part, including for any actual or suspected violation of these Terms or for any reason permitted by law. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing all use of and uninstalling the App. Upon termination, the license granted to you ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 12, 14, and 16 through 25 — survive termination of this Agreement.
23. Changes to These Terms
The Developer may update these Terms and the Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, the version number and effective date will be updated, and material changes may be communicated within the App, which may require your renewed acceptance. The current version of these Terms is Version 1.1, effective June 2, 2026. As stated in Section 1, your acceptance of any updated Terms also constitutes acceptance of the then-current Privacy Policy, and your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of both. If you do not agree to the updated documents, you must stop using and uninstall the App.
24. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the Privacy Policy, or the App shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where the mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection laws of your country of residence apply and cannot be excluded. Subject to such mandatory laws, you agree that the courts located in India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. You agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting the Developer before initiating formal proceedings.
25. General Provisions
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings. Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver. The Developer's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms; the Developer may assign them, including in connection with a transfer of the App or its assets. No third-party beneficiaries. Except for Apple as stated in Section 21, these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights. Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Force majeure. The Developer is not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
