Disclaimer
This Disclaimer explains the limits of what PlateIQ does and does not provide. By using PlateIQ (or any related websites, apps or services), you agree that you have read and understood the points below.
1. No medical, nutrition or mental health advice
PlateIQ is a general-purpose food and habit tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, nutritional advice, mental health advice, or any other professional healthcare service.
- Nothing in the app or on this website should be interpreted as a diagnosis, treatment plan, or personalised medical recommendation.
- You should always consult a doctor, dietitian, nutritionist, or other qualified professional before making major changes to your diet, exercise routine, medication or lifestyle.
- If you have, or suspect you have, a health condition, you must seek professional advice – not rely on PlateIQ.
2. No guarantees of results
PlateIQ is intended to help you see patterns, build awareness and support your own decision-making. It does not guarantee any particular outcome.
- No guarantee of weight loss or weight gain.
- No guarantee of improved fitness, health, or performance.
- No guarantee that any goals you set will be reached.
Any examples, scenarios or illustrations are for explanation only and do not promise that the same results will happen for you.
3. Estimates, AI and potential inaccuracies
PlateIQ may use AI and automated systems to estimate calories, nutrients, trends and other information based on photos and text you provide. These are estimates only.
- Estimates may be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, especially if the information you enter is unclear or incomplete.
- Different foods, cooking methods and portion sizes can vary widely – this is not a lab-grade measurement tool.
- You are responsible for checking whether any estimate is reasonable before basing decisions on it.
You should not use PlateIQ as the sole source of truth for any health-critical or medical-critical decision.
4. Beta status and app stability
PlateIQ is currently under active development and may be offered in beta form. This means:
- The app and website may contain bugs, crashes or unexpected behaviour.
- Features, layouts, prices and options can change, move or be removed without notice.
- Data may be reset, modified, or lost during updates, testing or technical issues.
By using a beta version of PlateIQ, you accept that the experience may be unstable and incomplete.
5. Your personal responsibility
You remain fully responsible for how you use PlateIQ and any actions you take based on it.
- You are responsible for any goals you set, any exercises you choose to perform, and any dietary changes you make.
- You should listen to your body and seek professional advice if something feels wrong.
- You should not push yourself into pain, injury or distress because of anything you see in PlateIQ.
If you feel unwell, in pain, or in crisis, stop using the app and seek appropriate help immediately.
6. Emergencies and crisis situations
PlateIQ is not an emergency service and cannot respond to urgent situations.
- If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately (for example 999 in the UK).
- If you are in emotional crisis or considering self-harm, contact a crisis hotline or local mental health service straight away.
Do not rely on PlateIQ for emergency support of any kind.
7. Third-party services and links
PlateIQ may link to or integrate with third-party sites or services (for example payment providers or community platforms). Those services are not controlled by PlateIQ.
- Any use of third-party services is at your own risk.
- You should review their own terms and privacy policies.
- PlateIQ is not responsible for content, availability or behaviour of third-party services.
8. Limitation of liability (high-level summary)
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PlateIQ and its creator are not liable for:
- Any loss, injury, claim or damage related to your use of the app or website.
- Decisions you make based on any information, estimates or suggestions shown.
- Data loss, corruption, downtime, or inability to access PlateIQ.
A more detailed limitation of liability will appear in the Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between this summary and the full Terms, the Terms of Use will take priority.
9. Changes to this Disclaimer
This Disclaimer may be updated from time to time as PlateIQ develops.
- Updates will be posted on this page with an updated date.
- Continuing to use PlateIQ after changes are published means you accept the updated Disclaimer.
