Terms of Service

§ 1 Provider and scope

(1) These terms govern the contractual relationship between

(hereinafter "we" or "Yedeni") and you as a user of the "Yedeni" app.

(2) They apply to all services provided through the app, free and paid alike.

(3) The Community and upload terms apply in addition and form part of this contract. The Privacy notice is not part of the contract; it informs you about the processing of your data.

(4) We do not accept deviating terms unless we have expressly agreed to them in text form.

(5) The version in force is available in the app under "Settings" > "Other" > "Terms of Service" and at the web address above.

§ 2 What Yedeni provides

(1) Yedeni is an AI-assisted nutrition app. Its distinguishing feature is reverse tracking: instead of only recording what you have eaten, Yedeni suggests what still fits into your daily budget.

Included in the free tier

• Profile with nutrition goals and an automatically calculated calorie and nutrient budget
• Food diary covering meals, water, caffeine and supplements
• Weight and activity history, optionally connected to Apple Health or Health Connect
• AI coach as a chat for logging and asking questions, within the free tier's usage allowances
• Suggestions based on the remaining daily budget
• Searching, creating, cooking and sharing recipes with the community
• Weekly planning and shopping list
• Barcode scanner and label recognition
• Achievements, streaks and levels as well as social features

Additionally with Yedeni Pro

• Use of the AI features without the free tier's usage allowances
• Ad-free use
• Extended analyses and histories
• Priority handling of support requests

(2) The exact scope of both tiers is displayed in the app before purchase. The specific usage allowances of the free tier — depending on the feature a daily or a weekly allowance — are shown in the app; we may adjust them where reasonable for you.

(3) Ads are shown on the free tier. You decide whether personalised ads are served to you; without your consent you see only non-personalised ads.

(4) We may develop the service further and change or discontinue individual features where this is reasonable for you and does not jeopardise the purpose of the contract. We announce material restrictions at least 30 days in advance; in that case you may terminate paid services extraordinarily.

§ 3 Account and minimum age

(1) Use requires a free user account. The contract is concluded upon successful registration.

(2) You register with an email address and password or by signing in with Apple or Google.

(3) You must be at least 16 years old. We verify this against the date of birth you provide. If we find that a younger person holds an account, we suspend and delete it.

(4) Your details must be accurate; please tell us about changes or update them yourself.

(5) Keep your credentials confidential. If you suspect unauthorised use, please inform us immediately at support@yedeni.com.

(6) One account per person is permitted. Accounts are not transferable.

§ 4 Your content

(1) You may post your own content — in particular recipes with photos and videos, reviews, collections and a profile picture. Which content is permitted is governed conclusively by the Community and upload terms.

(2) You warrant that you hold all rights required for the content you post and that it infringes neither third-party rights nor applicable law. You confirm this expressly before every upload.

(3) You retain your copyright. You merely grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to store the content, process it technically (for example to scale, convert or translate it), display it and make it available to other users as part of operating the app. If you make the content public, that right also covers display via share links outside the app.

(4) This licence ends as soon as you delete the content or your account. For technical reasons copies may persist in backups for up to 30 days. If other users have added your public recipe to their plans or collections, it remains there without naming you; on request we delete that as well.

(5) We are under no general obligation to monitor content. We do, however, carry out automated and incident-driven checks and remove content that is illegal or violates the community terms.

(6) We do not use your content to train our own AI models, nor do we pass it to third parties for that purpose.

§ 5 Our rights

(1) All rights to the app, its structure, its design, its databases and the underlying software rest with us or our licensors.

(2) You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the app on your devices for private, non-commercial purposes.

(3) Not permitted are in particular: systematic extraction of content (scraping), using content to train AI models, circumventing technical protection measures or usage limits, and reverse engineering the app. Your statutory rights under §§ 69d, 69e UrhG remain unaffected.

(4) For the data sources and libraries used in the app and the third-party rights attaching to them, see Attributions.

§ 6 Yedeni Pro and payment

(1) Yedeni Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Price, term and scope are displayed in the app before purchase. All prices are final prices including statutory VAT.

(2) Purchases are handled exclusively through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Your contractual partner for payment is the respective platform; their terms apply in addition. We receive no payment data.

(3) The subscription renews automatically for the chosen term unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Cancellation happens in the respective store's subscription management; we cannot technically do it for you. The app links to that management under "Settings".

(4) Refunds follow the respective platform's policies. Your statutory right of withdrawal remains unaffected.

(5) We announce price changes at least 30 days before they take effect. They apply only to terms beginning after that period; if you neither object nor cancel, the new price applies from the next renewal.

(6) Promotional codes may grant time-limited or permanent access. They are non-transferable, cannot be paid out and may be withdrawn if used abusively.

§ 7 Right of withdrawal

For digital content and services the right of withdrawal expires early if you expressly agree that we begin performance before the withdrawal period ends and you confirm that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (§ 356(5) BGB). Apple and Google obtain this agreement during the purchase flow.

§ 8 Health notice and liability

(1) Seek medical advice before substantially changing your diet — in particular in the case of illness, metabolic disorders, eating disorders, pregnancy and breastfeeding, if you are a minor, or if you take medication.

(2) Nutrition values come from public and commercial databases and from user submissions. AI-assisted estimates, particularly from photos, are inherently imprecise. We check values for plausibility but cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. Never rely on the app alone where allergies or intolerances are concerned — always check the packaging.

(3) We are liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health caused by an intentional or negligent breach of duty by us, our legal representatives or our agents, as well as for intent, gross negligence and where we have given a guarantee.

(4) In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations — obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely. In that case liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

(5) Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

(6) We are liable for other users' content only from the point at which we become aware of a specific infringement.

§ 9 Availability

(1) We strive for high availability but do not owe uninterrupted accessibility. We announce planned maintenance where possible and schedule it during low-demand periods.

(2) We are not liable for outages outside our sphere of control — in particular force majeure, disruptions at upstream providers and network failures.

(3) If a paid service is unavailable for more than 48 consecutive hours and we are responsible, we refund the pro-rata price on request.

§ 10 Violations, suspension and complaints

(1) If you breach these terms, the community terms or applicable law, we may — graduated by severity and repetition — remove individual content, restrict its visibility, temporarily disable features, temporarily suspend the account or terminate the contract extraordinarily.

(2) We inform you of every such measure and state the reasons, the content concerned, the legal basis or contractual clause, whether automated means were involved, and how you can challenge it.

(3) You may challenge any measure within six months — informally at support@yedeni.com or through the reporting and complaints function in the app. Complaints are always decided by a human, not by an automated system alone. We confirm receipt without delay and decide promptly. If the measure proves unfounded, we reverse it.

(4) Independently of this you may turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Art. 21 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, or take legal action. Details of the procedure: Copyright and reporting illegal content.

(5) Where manifestly unfounded notices or complaints are submitted repeatedly and abusively, we may suspend their processing for a reasonable period after prior warning.

§ 11 Term and termination

(1) The contract for free use runs indefinitely and may be terminated by either party at any time without notice period and without giving reasons.

(2) You terminate by deleting your account in the app under "Settings" > "Delete account". A paid subscription must additionally be cancelled in the respective app store's subscription management — deleting the account does not automatically end a subscription running there.

(3) We may terminate the free contract with 30 days' notice. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected on both sides.

(4) Upon termination your personal data is deleted in accordance with the privacy notice.

§ 12 Changes to these terms

(1) We may change these terms with effect for the future where this is necessary due to new features, a changed legal situation or changed technical conditions, and where it does not unreasonably disadvantage you.

(2) We inform you of changes at least 30 days before they take effect, by email or in the app, and specifically point out your right to object and its consequences.

(3) If you do not object before the changes take effect, the amended terms are deemed accepted. If you object, we may terminate the contract with ordinary notice as of the date the changes take effect; until then the previous terms continue to apply. A running subscription then ends at the end of the paid term; amounts already paid beyond that are refunded pro rata.

§ 13 Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions there remain unaffected (Art. 6(2) Rome I).

(2) If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is München. Otherwise the statutory rules apply.

(3) We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

(4) Should any provision be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory rule replaces the invalid provision.
