Gutsy — Terms of Use

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully. By creating an account or using Gutsy (the "App"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. What Gutsy is — and isn't

Gutsy is a general wellness and educational tool. It helps you record and reflect on packaged-food information in the context of preferences and sensitivities you enter. Gutsy does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, is not a medical device, and is not a substitute for professional medical or dietary care.

2. No doctor–patient or dietitian–client relationship

Using Gutsy does not create any doctor–patient, dietitian–client, or other professional relationship between you and Gutsy or its developer. Always consult your physician or a registered dietitian before making dietary or medical decisions. In an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number).

3. Assumption of risk

Food tolerance and dietary needs in Crohn's disease, diabetes, and related conditions are highly individual. A food the App flags may be fine for you, and a food it rates well may still cause symptoms or not fit your dietary plan. You understand and accept that any decision you make using the App is your own, and you use the App at your own risk.

4. No warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Nutrition and ingredient data come from third-party sources and product labels and may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer of Gutsy will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the App, including any health outcome or dietary decision. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer's total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, or for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer of Gutsy from any claims, losses, or expenses arising out of your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

7. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Most concerns can be resolved quickly — please email us first. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and the developer agree that any dispute relating to the App or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except that either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court. You and the developer waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing rdh2993@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out does not affect the other provisions. This section does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

8. Price and subscriptions

Downloading and using Gutsy's general features — scanning, history, and general nutrition scores — is free. An optional annual auto-renewing subscription unlocks condition-personalized scoring (for Crohn's disease or diabetes) and your Monthly Report. As a free preview, your first 10 scans include condition-personalized results without a subscription. Pricing is shown in the App before you subscribe; payment is charged to your App Store account, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings. The same features can also be earned for free through in-app milestones, as described in the App.

9. Your account and acceptable use

You are responsible for your account and for the accuracy of the information you enter. Do not misuse the App, attempt to disrupt it, or use it unlawfully.

10. Termination

We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms or as needed to comply with law. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, assumption of risk, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — survive.

11. Privacy

Our handling of your data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms; we will revise the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

13. Severability; entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 7, any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in that state.
