These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the operator of Hovie (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing, browsing, installing, or using Hovie in any manner, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by any additional policies or notices incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
You also agree that your continued use of Hovie after any update to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised version, subject to applicable law.
You may not use Hovie for any unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or harmful purpose. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation: violating applicable laws or regulations; infringing intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; uploading malware or malicious code; attempting unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data; interfering with, overloading, or disrupting the Service; scraping, crawling, or using bots, scripts, or automated tools without our written permission; and misrepresenting your identity or affiliation.
You also agree not to post or submit content that is harassing, hateful, obscene, threatening, defamatory, sexually exploitative, or otherwise inappropriate. Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or attempting to derive source code, models, prompts, business logic, or technical methods from the Service is prohibited except to the limited extent such restriction is not allowed by law.
You must be at least 17 years old to use Hovie. If you are under the age of majority in your place of residence, you may only use the Service with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, where permitted by law.
By using Hovie, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and that your use of the Service does not violate any agreement or legal obligation that applies to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, Hovie.
Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service will be limited to the amount you paid to us for the relevant Service or feature in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or the minimum amount permitted by applicable law if no such payment was made.
Hovie, including its software, interface design, branding, visual elements, text, graphics, logos, and all related materials, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you under these Terms, no ownership interest is transferred to you.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Hovie for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly display, sell, sublicense, or exploit any part of the Service without our prior written consent.
We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, legal requirements, or our business practices. When we do, we may post the updated Terms in the app, on our website, or by other reasonable means.
It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically. If you continue using Hovie after the updated Terms become effective, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Hovie is a lightweight diet and hydration tracking application designed around a “light food diary” and “diet balance recorder” experience. The Service is organized as a practical toolkit for daily use, allowing users to log meal times, food categories, portion size, fullness, context, water intake, and notes. Users may optionally attach meal photos, but the core record can be completed without images.
The Service may present today cards, planner cards, checklists, reminders, history views, and reusable sample-based templates. It is designed to help users quickly review daily meal completion, food group coverage, hydration progress, balance scores, dietary calendar views, weekly summary cards, and eating-out frequency statistics. The product emphasizes a calm, structured, and reusable workflow rather than open-ended creation or social interaction.
Hovie is intended as a focused lifestyle and self-care tool for personal organization and reflection. It is not a medical service, a diagnostic tool, a treatment platform, a community feed, a dating product, or a cross-device synchronization system.
We provide Hovie on an “as available” and “as is” operational basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or compatible with every device, network, or configuration.
We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hovie and all related features, content, and materials are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.
We do not warrant that the Service will meet your expectations or that any result, summary, reminder, or record generated through the Service will be complete, current, or error-free.
Hovie may offer in-app purchases, including virtual currency or coins, through Apple’s in-app purchase system or other authorized payment channels. All purchases are processed by the applicable platform provider, and any platform terms also apply.
Coins or other virtual items have no cash value, do not constitute legal tender, and may be used only within Hovie as described at the time of purchase. To the extent permitted by law and platform policy, purchases are final, non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-exchangeable unless otherwise required by applicable law.
You retain ownership of the content you upload, submit, store, or create in connection with Hovie, including text, notes, images, and other materials you provide (“User Content”). We do not claim ownership over your User Content.
However, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, process, format, transmit, and display your User Content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, improve, and provide the Service to you. This license is temporary and limited to the purposes of the Service and ends when your User Content is deleted from our systems, except to the extent retention is required by law or necessary for security, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of Hovie at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or misused the Service. We may also take action if required to do so by law or by a platform provider.
You may stop using Hovie at any time. Upon termination, the rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms will end immediately, except for provisions that by their nature should survive termination.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hovie, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to: your use of the Service; your User Content; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any law or third-party right; or your misuse of the Service.
We may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate fully with our defense of such matter.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right to access and use Hovie for lawful, non-commercial purposes only. This permission does not allow you to exploit the Service commercially, resell access, create derivative services, or use Hovie on behalf of others without authorization.
Any rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.
Hovie may present automated summaries, progress views, reminders, scores, or other generated outputs based on information you enter or other in-app logic. These outputs are provided for informational and organizational purposes only and should not be treated as medical advice, professional advice, or a guaranteed assessment of your health or habits.
We do not guarantee that any generated result will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your personal situation. You remain solely responsible for reviewing and deciding how to use any output provided by the Service, and any reliance is at your own risk.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate, lawful, and appropriate for use in the Service. If you upload photos, notes, or other materials, you must have the necessary rights and permissions to submit them.
You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials, for using the Service in a manner consistent with these Terms, and for reviewing your own content and entries before relying on them for any personal decision. Hovie is not responsible for mistakes, omissions, or consequences arising from content you provide.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the Service, or your use of Hovie will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which our principal place of business is located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
If any dispute must be brought in court, the parties agree to the extent permitted by law that jurisdiction and venue will be determined in accordance with the applicable legal rules of that jurisdiction.
