Terms of Service

Last updated: October 8, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating a Cindar account or otherwise using the Cindar app or hestia.fit website (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Cindar. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Cindar is rated 17+ in the App Store.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

4. AI Estimates and Accuracy

Cindar uses artificial intelligence to estimate the nutritional content of food from photos, receipts, and text descriptions. AI estimates are approximations and may be inaccurate. You are responsible for verifying any value before relying on it for a medical, dietary, or athletic decision.

5. Third-Party Data Sources

Some Cindar features rely on publicly available third-party data, which is provided "as is" without any guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or availability:

• Restaurant locations are sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors and made available under the Open Database License (ODbL). Map data may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors. Cindar is not responsible for missing, mislabeled, or closed locations.
• Chain-restaurant nutrition information is based on FDA menu-labeling disclosures published by U.S. chains with 20 or more locations, as required under section 4205 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Values may be revised by the chain at any time and may not reflect regional menu variations, customizations, or preparation differences. Always check the restaurant's own posted nutrition information before relying on a value for a medical or dietary decision.

We do not endorse, sponsor, or have any affiliation with the restaurants, chains, or data providers referenced in the Service. Trademarks and brand names belong to their respective owners.

6. Pricing, Subscriptions, and Refunds

Cindar offers a free tier with a limited, one-time allowance of AI features, recurring Premium subscriptions (monthly and annual) with a daily AI allowance, and a limited one-time Founder purchase. Current prices are listed on our Pricing page and are confirmed at the point of purchase inside the app.

Auto-renewing subscriptions. Premium subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID or your Google Play account, depending on where you downloaded Cindar, and renew automatically at the end of each period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Manage or cancel renewals in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in Google Play → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods.

One-time purchases. The Founder tier is a single non-recurring purchase that grants the benefits listed at the time of purchase. It does not renew and cannot be canceled.

Refunds. All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests for App Store purchases must be made to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com and are granted at Apple's discretion under the App Store's standard refund policy. Refunds for Google Play purchases follow Google Play's refund policies. We cannot issue refunds directly.

Price changes. We may change prices for new subscribers at any time. Existing subscribers will be notified in advance and given the opportunity to accept, decline, or cancel before any price change takes effect, as required by Apple's and Google's subscription rules.

7. User Content

You retain ownership of the photos, descriptions, and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process and store your User Content solely to provide the Service to you. We will not use your User Content for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

8. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, or attempt to derive source code.
• Use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or unauthorized purpose.
• Upload malicious code, attempt to circumvent rate limits, or otherwise abuse the Service.
• Use the Service to develop a competing product.
• Submit images of other people without their consent, or any content that is unlawful or infringes third-party rights.

9. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time — see our Account Deletion page. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that abuse the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Hestia Studios, its operators, or its licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid us in the past twelve months, whichever is greater.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hestia Studios and its operators from any claim, demand, loss, or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your User Content, or your misuse of the Service.

13. Apple App Store Terms

The following applies if you obtained Cindar through the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and Hestia Studios only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
• Your license to use Cindar is limited to use on an Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service.
• If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any product-liability or third-party intellectual-property claims related to the Service.
• You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country or on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. If you reside in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws override the foregoing, those mandatory laws apply.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app and reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hestia Studios regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
