Terms of Use

These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") govern the relationship between you and Diego de Mello Rego Lopes, an individual acting as an independent service provider ("Operator", "we", "us", or "our"), regarding your access to and use of the INTERCEPT mobile application and related services (the "Service" or "App").

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service, delete your account, and cancel any active subscriptions.

We may update these Terms from time to time for legal, technical, or operational reasons. When required by law, we will notify you of material changes. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days before taking effect via in-app notification or email.

Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms take effect once published. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without liability.

The Service is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into this agreement.

Certain features require you to create an account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated.

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Any activity performed through your account is your responsibility. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

INTERCEPT is a digital behavioral support application designed to assist users with habit awareness, impulse interception, self-regulation strategies, tracking, and personalized insights. The Service may include:

• food-impulse interception, habit tracking, and self-regulation tools
• nutrition, hydration, and body-metric logging, including optional photo-based food analysis
• fitness and strength-training programs — including suggested exercises, loads, effort targets, and progression
• optional integration with health platforms (Apple Health, Google Health Connect, Strava, Fitbit) for workouts, sleep, and heart-rate data
• optional menstrual-cycle symptom check-ins that inform training readiness
• personalized reports and summaries
• AI-generated insights and recommendations, including a cross-device AI Coach memory layer (Ember) that retains aggregated weekly summaries on our servers for up to 90 days under your explicit consent
• user-uploaded content such as photos or notes

Certain features of the Service rely on artificial intelligence and automated systems. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate
• AI does not understand your full personal, medical, psychological, or emotional context
• AI outputs are provided for general informational and motivational purposes only
• AI coaching is not medical, psychological, therapeutic, or professional advice
• The AI Coach (Ember) maintains a persistent server-side memory of aggregated weekly summaries across your devices; its responses may therefore reflect older context. Memory is retained for up to 90 days or until you exercise your right to deletion (see Privacy Policy Section 2.2-A).

You remain solely responsible for your decisions and actions based on information provided by the Service.

The Service does not provide emergency support. If you experience a medical or mental health emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.

The Service does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, nutritional, or therapeutic services.

Nothing within the Service should be construed as diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or healthcare advice.

Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions affecting your health or well-being.

This application should NOT be used to: (a) diagnose or treat any medical condition; (b) replace medical, nutritional, or psychological care; (c) make decisions about medications or treatments.

The Service does not provide reproductive, menstrual, or pregnancy-related medical assessment, and it does not screen for, diagnose, or treat low energy availability (RED-S), hormonal conditions, or any other medical condition. Any cycle-related insight or wellbeing prompt (including any suggestion to consult a doctor) is informational only and is not a substitute for evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional.

WARNING: This application is NOT suitable for people who:

• Have or have had a diagnosis of an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder - BED)
• Are currently in treatment for eating disorders
• Display restrictive or compulsive eating behaviors
• Have a history of problematic relationship with food or body weight

If you identify with any of these situations, we STRONGLY recommend:

• Consulting a mental health professional before using the application
• Using the application only with professional supervision
• Immediately discontinuing use if you notice worsening symptoms

Crisis Support Resources:

• National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) Helpline: 1-800-931-2237
• Crisis Text Line: Text 'NEDA' to 741741
• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988
• Emergency Services: 911

Use of this application by individuals with a history of eating disorders is entirely at the user's own risk. The Operator is not responsible for any harm resulting from inappropriate use of the Service.

The Service includes fitness and strength-training features — including suggested exercises, loads, repetitions, rest periods, effort (RPE) targets, warm-up and plate-loading guidance, readiness signals, and progression. These are GENERAL, automated suggestions derived from information you provide and your own logged history. They are NOT individualized prescriptions from a physician, physiotherapist, or certified trainer, and they do not account for your complete medical history or your condition on any given day.

• Physical exercise carries inherent risks, including muscle and joint strain, falls, cardiac events, and in rare cases serious or life-threatening injury.
• You should obtain clearance from a qualified physician before beginning, resuming, or significantly changing any exercise program — especially if you are pregnant or postpartum, have a heart or blood-pressure condition, a musculoskeletal injury, or any other medical condition.
• You are solely responsible for exercising within your own limits, using correct technique and appropriate equipment, warming up, and stopping immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or any other warning sign.
• Load, repetition, effort, and readiness suggestions are estimates and may be inappropriate for you. You must use your own judgment and never train beyond what is safe for you.

PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM: If you enable pregnancy or postpartum adaptations, you must first obtain and follow the guidance of your obstetrician, midwife, or physician. Stop exercising and seek immediate medical care if you experience vaginal bleeding, fluid leakage, painful or regular contractions, dizziness, chest pain, calf pain or swelling, headache, muscle weakness, or reduced fetal movement. The Service's adaptations are general and do NOT replace your provider's medical clearance or advice.

BY USING THE FITNESS FEATURES, YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for any injury, harm, or loss resulting from your participation in exercise based on or inspired by the Service.

The Service may allow you to submit or upload text, images, photos, and personal tracking data ("User Content").

You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant the Operator a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and use such content solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service. This includes synchronization across your devices, generation of personalized insights, and — for users who additionally grant AI Coaching consent — derivation of aggregated weekly summaries that are persisted server-side for up to 90 days to provide cross-device continuity of the AI Coach (see Privacy Policy Section 2.2-A).

This license terminates upon deletion of your content or account, except where retention is required for legal compliance, security, or dispute resolution.

All personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including GDPR.

A. In-App Purchases

All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Payment methods, billing, renewals, and refunds are governed by the respective store's terms.

B. Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period.

C. Free Trials

If offered, free trials convert automatically into paid subscriptions unless canceled before the trial ends.

D. No-Card Trial

The Service may offer a complimentary trial period ("No-Card Trial") of up to 7 days, granting temporary access to Premium features without requiring payment information. The trial is limited to one per device, automatically expires, does not auto-convert to a paid subscription, and does not collect payment information.

The Service may integrate or link to third-party services (e.g., analytics, AI providers, authentication services). We are not responsible for third-party services, content, or practices.

Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

You agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent purposes
• interfere with security or functionality
• reverse engineer or attempt unauthorized access
• upload malware or harmful content
• misuse AI or automation features
• harass or abuse others

Violation may result in suspension or termination.

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, applicable laws, or pose a risk to the Service or others.

Certain provisions survive termination, including disclaimers and limitations of liability.

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, accuracy, or specific results.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

Our total liability shall not exceed the greater of: the amount paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim, or €100 (or equivalent).

IMPORTANT: This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law. In particular: (a) for users in Brazil, this clause is subject to the Consumer Protection Code (CDC, Law No. 8,078/90), which does not permit exclusion or limitation of supplier liability for product or service defects; (b) for users in the European Union, this clause does not limit liability for damages caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor does it affect mandatory consumer rights under Directive 2011/83/EU; (c) nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rights applicable under the laws of your country of residence.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights granted under applicable consumer protection laws in the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, or Brazil.

If you use the Service via the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and the Operator, not Apple.
• Apple is not responsible for the Service.
• Apple is a third-party beneficiary and may enforce these Terms.
• Any claims related to the App must be directed to the Operator.

If you use the Service via Google Play, Google is not responsible for the Service. In case of conflict, Google Play policies govern billing and subscription management.

• If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
• We may assign these Terms in the event of restructuring or transfer of the Service.
• Electronic acceptance constitutes a legally binding agreement.
• This document is available in English and Portuguese. Both versions have equal legal authority. In case of conflict, the version in the language of the user's primary App Store region shall prevail.

Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms shall preferably be resolved through amicable negotiation.

If an amicable agreement cannot be reached within 30 days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to the following forums:

• For users in the European Union/United Kingdom: competent courts of the consumer's domicile
• For users in Brazil: courts of the consumer's domicile, pursuant to the Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/90)
• For all other users: courts of London, England

This clause does not affect mandatory consumer rights provided by law, including the right to access consumer protection agencies.

The Operator shall not be liable for failures or delays in fulfilling its obligations arising from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, pandemics, third-party infrastructure failures, cyber attacks, or governmental actions.

The Operator does not process refunds directly. To request a refund:

• iOS: Visit reportaproblem.apple.com or use the App Store app
• Android: Visit play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory

The Operator will cooperate with investigations of legitimate disputes submitted through the app stores.

To exercise your data protection rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, objection), contact our DPO at [email protected] or use the in-app tools at Settings > Data Management.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator and his affiliates, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms
• Your reliance on AI-generated content as medical, psychological, nutritional, or therapeutic advice, contrary to the disclaimers in Sections VI and VII
• Content you submit, share, or transmit through the Service
• Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right
• Your sharing of Service-generated insights or data with third parties (including via accountability features)

This indemnification obligation survives the termination of your account and these Terms.

We are committed to making the Service accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. The Service is designed with screen reader compatibility, sufficient color contrast, and scalable text. In compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA, Directive 2019/882) effective June 28, 2025, we continuously work to improve the accessibility of the Service. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us at [email protected] so we can address them.
