Preppy — Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-04-28 Version: 1.0 (pre-launch)

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and the operator of Preppy (a sole proprietor based in Belgium, formal company registration pending) ("Preppy", "we", "us", "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Preppy web application at trypreppy.com, the API at api.trypreppy.com, and any related services (together, the "Service"). The operator's full legal name and registered postal address will be published in this document once Belgian KBO/BCE registration is finalised; in the meantime, those details are available on request via legal@trypreppy.com, which is also the address for any formal correspondence under these Terms.

By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You may use Preppy only if:

• You are at least 16 years old (if you reside in the EEA, UK or Switzerland) or 13 years old (if you reside in the United States or another jurisdiction with a lower default age); and
• You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; and
• You are not barred from using the Service under applicable law.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.

2. Your account

You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate registration information and keeping it current.
• Maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials.
• All activity under your account, except where prohibited by law.

Notify us immediately at [security@trypreppy.com] if you suspect unauthorised access.

We may refuse, suspend or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe they are fraudulent, abusive, or non-compliant with these Terms (see Section 14).

3. The Service; beta status

Preppy is a meal-planning tool that helps you generate weekly meal plans, manage recipes, track nutrition, and build shopping lists. Some features depend on third-party providers (see Section 9).

Beta notice. The Service is currently in beta / early access. Features may change, break, or be removed. Data may occasionally be lost. Availability is not guaranteed. See the warranty disclaimer in Section 12.

4. Subscriptions, billing and refunds (placeholder — payments not yet live)

The Service is currently free to use. When we introduce paid tiers ("Preppy Pro"), the following will apply, and we will re-surface updated Terms before any charge:

• Fees and taxes. Prices will be displayed in your currency (where possible) and include VAT where applicable.
• Billing cycles. Subscriptions will renew automatically at the end of each period (e.g. monthly or annually) until cancelled.
• Cancellation. You may cancel at any time in Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Paid features remain available until then.
• EU right of withdrawal. Consumers in the EEA have a 14-day right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU. By starting to use a paid digital service during this period, you acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun with your express consent (Art. 16(m)).
• Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.
• Price changes. We will give at least 30 days' notice of price changes for existing subscribers.

Until paid tiers launch, this section is informational only.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of third-party rights.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or systematically extract data from the Service (except as permitted by mandatory law).
• Interfere with, disrupt, or overload the Service or its infrastructure.
• Bypass rate limits, authentication, or other security controls.
• Submit content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or that depicts minors inappropriately.
• Use the Service to build a competing product or to train a machine-learning model.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation.

We may remove content and suspend accounts that violate this section.

6. Your content and licence to us

You retain ownership of the recipes, meal plans, pantry items, notes, photos, and other content you submit to the Service ("Your Content").

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display and transmit Your Content solely to operate, provide and improve the Service for you, including caching, generating shopping lists, producing nutrition estimates, and sending suggestions via LLM providers on your behalf.

This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except that:

• We may retain backup copies on the schedule set out in the Privacy Policy.
• We may retain Your Content (or aggregate derivations) where necessary to comply with law or to enforce these Terms.

You represent that Your Content does not infringe any third party's rights. You are responsible for complying with any licence that applies to content you import (e.g. copyrighted recipes you paste from a cookbook).

7. Preppy's intellectual property

Preppy, its name, logo, software, UI, designs, documentation, and all derivative works are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, we grant you no rights in our IP.

Feedback you voluntarily send us may be used without restriction or compensation.

8. Medical and nutritional disclaimer (IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY)

Preppy is not a medical service and does not provide medical advice.

The Service provides informational and planning tools only. Any recipes, meal plans, calorie targets, macro breakdowns, shopping lists, or nutrition estimates are not:

• medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or prescription;
• a substitute for consultation with a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional;
• suitable for diagnosing, treating or managing any medical condition, including (without limitation) diabetes, coeliac disease, pregnancy, eating disorders, allergies, food intolerances, kidney disease, or cardiovascular disease.

You must consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes, particularly if you:

• have a medical condition or take medication;
• are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive;
• are under 18 years old;
• have a history of eating disorders;
• have any allergy or intolerance.

Allergen notice. Preppy cannot guarantee that recipes or ingredient suggestions are free from any particular allergen. Nutrition values are estimates generated in part by AI and third-party databases (Edamam, USDA); they may be incomplete or inaccurate. You are solely responsible for reading ingredient labels, verifying allergens, and preparing food safely.

Health-integration disclaimer. Data from Google Fit (and any other health integration we add in the future) is presented for informational purposes only. Figures we display are not validated by a medical device and must not be used for clinical decisions.

Preppy is not HIPAA-regulated, not an FDA-cleared medical device, and not intended to diagnose or treat disease.

9. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers, including (without limitation) Supabase, Cloudflare, Vercel, PostHog, Sentry, Axiom, Resend, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini and Fit), Edamam, USDA FoodData Central, and Kroger. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, policies, or practices of these third parties. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that provider's terms.

If you connect Google Fit, we process the data in accordance with the Privacy Policy and the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

10. Privacy

Our processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy (privacy-policy.md), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

11. Suspension and termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting your account in Settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if:

• You materially breach these Terms.
• We are required to do so by law or a competent authority.
• We retire the Service (we will give reasonable prior notice where feasible).

Sections intended to survive termination (including Sections 6 (Your Content), 7 (IP), 8 (Medical Disclaimer), 12 (Warranties), 13 (Liability), 15 (Governing Law), and 16 (Dispute Resolution)) survive.

12. Warranties and disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

We do not warrant that:

• the Service will meet your requirements or be error-free;
• nutrition data, recipes, or AI output are accurate, complete, or safe for your circumstances;
• data loss will not occur.

Mandatory consumer rights. Nothing in this section limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory EU, UK, or national law, including under the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Code de droit économique / Wetboek van economisch recht) and the EU Sale of Goods and Digital Content Directives.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for (a) indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages; (b) loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, or data; or (c) damages arising from medical decisions, dietary choices, food preparation, allergic reactions, or reliance on nutrition estimates.
• Our aggregate liability in any 12-month period under or in connection with these Terms will not exceed the greater of (i) the fees you paid to Preppy in that period or (ii) EUR 100.

Mandatory consumer rights. Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or (d) any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including Belgian consumer law and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive).

14. Indemnification

If you use the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your breach or misuse, except to the extent caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct. This clause does not apply to consumers where prohibited by law.

15. Governing law

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of Belgium, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Consumer protection. If you are a consumer with habitual residence in the EEA or UK, you retain the benefit of any mandatory protections of the law of your country of habitual residence that cannot be derogated from by contract (Article 6 Rome I Regulation).

16. Disputes

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms that cannot be resolved amicably within 60 days shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Belgium, except where mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rules (e.g. Articles 17–19 Brussels Ia Regulation) give you the right to sue, or be sued, in the courts of your country of residence.

EU online dispute resolution. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute-resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When changes are material, we will notify you at least 14 days in advance by email and in-app, except where immediate changes are required by law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the new Terms, you may terminate your account.

18. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a reorganisation or sale of the business.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control.
• Language. These Terms are drafted in English. A translation may be provided for convenience; the English version controls.
• Contact. contact@trypreppy.com — postal address available on request via legal@trypreppy.com (registered postal address pending Belgian KBO/BCE registration).

These terms are published in plain English for the pre-launch phase of Preppy. We will engage qualified Belgian/EU counsel to review them before our public launch.
