Terms of Use

Last updated: 19/06/2026

1. Acceptance

By downloading or using Vive (“the App”), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App. You acknowledged these Terms and the medical disclaimer when you first opened the App.

2. Not medical advice

Vive provides general nutrition and wellness information only. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring. Food verdicts, macros, health trends, and Zone 2 estimates are approximations generated by software and AI, and may be inaccurate or incomplete.

Do not use the App to make decisions about a medical condition, medication, pregnancy, or a food allergy. Always confirm ingredients on packaging and consult a licensed professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Never disregard professional advice because of something in the App.

3. Allergies

Ingredient detection by AI can be wrong or incomplete. You are responsible for verifying allergens yourself. Vive must never be your only safeguard against a food that could cause a serious reaction.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 to use the App and old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.

5. Your responsibilities

You agree to use the App lawfully and not to misuse, reverse engineer, or attempt to disrupt it or the backend service. You are responsible for the food photos and text you submit and confirm you have the right to submit them.

6. Health data

With your permission, the App reads Apple Health data and processes it on your device. Aggregate figures may be sent to our AI provider only to write your optional weekly digest, as described in the Privacy Policy. Your use of Apple Health is also governed by Apple’s terms.

7. Third-party processing

Food analysis and digest generation are performed with the help of Anthropic (the Claude API). Their processing of submitted content is subject to their terms. We do not attach your identity to those requests.

8. No warranty

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Archie Townsend is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any health outcome, arising from your use of or reliance on the App.

10. Changes

We may update the App and these Terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms. We will update the “Last updated” date.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and delete it to remove on-device data. We may suspend or discontinue the App at any time.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
