Legal
These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you") and ViCatus ("we," "us," "our"), operated by an individual developer based in Columbus, Ohio, United States. These Terms govern your access to and use of the ViCatus mobile application, website (vicatus.com), and all related services (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or have obtained parental consent if under 18), have read and understood these Terms, and agree to be bound by them. During account registration, you will be presented with a confirmation step ("I Agree" or equivalent) which constitutes your explicit acceptance of these Terms and our Privacy Policy (clickwrap agreement). If you do not affirmatively accept, you will not be able to create an account or use the Service.
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any diet, nutrition plan, exercise program, or making any health-related decisions. ViCatus expressly disclaims all liability for any health outcomes, injuries, adverse reactions, or consequences arising from use of the app or reliance on any information provided therein.
The calorie and fat loss calculations provided are estimates based on general scientific formulas. Individual results will vary. ViCatus makes no guarantee of specific health or weight loss outcomes.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately at support@vicatus.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We reserve the right to terminate accounts at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms.
ViCatus may offer free and paid subscription tiers. Paid subscriptions are processed through RevenueCat and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store according to their respective billing terms.
ViCatus provides a marketplace feature that displays health and fitness products from third-party retailers including but not limited to Amazon, Walmart, Target, GNC, iHerb, and Vitamin Shoppe. By using the marketplace, you acknowledge and agree that:
ViCatus uses artificial intelligence powered by third-party models via the Rork AI API to process meal descriptions, generate nutritional estimates, and suggest recipes and workouts. The AI operates as a third-party service provider and processes your meal and workout descriptions on our behalf. You acknowledge and agree that:
You agree not to:
All content, features, functionality, branding, logos, trademarks, and technology within ViCatus are the exclusive property of ViCatus and its licensors. The name "ViCatus," the VC logo, and all associated branding are proprietary.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
You retain ownership of any personal data you input into the app. By submitting content, you grant ViCatus a limited license to process that content solely to provide the Service.
In no event shall the total liability of ViCatus to you for all claims exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to ViCatus in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ViCatus and its operator from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) any content you submit through the Service.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio.
You waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against ViCatus.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with or without notice. This includes adding or removing features, changing AI providers, modifying the marketplace, or adjusting subscription tiers. ViCatus shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service. Features described in marketing materials represent current or planned functionality and are not a guarantee of permanent availability.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by in-app notification or email. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ViCatus regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.
