Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Kaji Studio, identified at the bottom of this page. They apply when you use the Kaji Meals app, which requires an account. By creating that account and using the app you accept them.

Privacy is covered by two policies — one for this website, one for the Kaji Meals app — and both form part of this agreement. Where the documents overlap, the applicable privacy policy is the one that governs personal data.

Kaji Meals helps you plan meals, keep recipes and ingredients, build shopping lists and track nutrition targets. It works offline on your device. With an account it also syncs across your devices and can be shared with the people you cook with.

The nutrition figures come from ingredient data and from what you enter. They are estimates meant to help you plan, and they will not be exact. Kaji Meals is not a medical device and gives no medical, dietary or nutritional advice. If you have a medical condition, an allergy, or you are managing intake for a health reason, rely on a qualified professional rather than on this app.

You need to be at least 16 to hold an account. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself and for what happens under your account. Tell us if you think someone else has access to it.

If you invite people into a shared workspace, you are choosing to show them what is in it. Everyone in a workspace can see and change its content, so invite accordingly.

You can delete your account at any time from within the app. Doing so removes your content and your photos.

Your meals, recipes, plans, lists and photos belong to you. We claim no ownership of them.

You give us only the permission we need to run the service for you: to store your content, to reproduce it so it reaches your other devices and the people in your workspace, and to back it up. That permission exists for that purpose alone. It ends when you delete the content or your account, and we will not use your content to advertise, to train models, or to show it to anyone you have not shared it with.

Do not upload content you have no right to use, and do not upload anything unlawful. We can remove content that breaks this rule.

Kaji Meals has a free tier and a paid tier. Paid subscriptions are sold through the App Store or Google Play, not by us directly, and your payment relationship is with the store.

• Prices and billing periods are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• You cancel through your App Store or Google Play account settings, not through us — we have no ability to cancel on your behalf.
• Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep the paid features until the period you have already paid for runs out.
• Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy. We cannot issue them, though we will help you deal with the store where we can.

If a subscription ends, your account continues on the free tier. Your content is not deleted, but features that belong to the paid tier stop being available, and the app will tell you before that happens.

We can change the price of a subscription, but not the price of one you have already bought. A change applies from your next renewal, and the store will notify you in advance so you can cancel if you would rather not continue.

As a consumer in the EU you normally have fourteen days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because a subscription gives you immediate access to digital content, that right ends once the service has been fully performed with your agreement — which is what you consent to when you complete the purchase in the store.

In practice, withdrawal and refund requests are handled by the App Store or Google Play, since that is who you bought from. This paragraph does not take away any statutory right you have under Portuguese or EU consumer law.

Use the app for what it is for. Do not try to break into other people's accounts or workspaces, do not attempt to disrupt the service or get around its limits, do not use it to send other people unwanted messages, and do not resell access to it.

The support forms in the app are for support. They are rate-limited because they send mail on our behalf, and using them for anything else is not on.

We work to keep the service running but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It can be unavailable for maintenance, because a provider we depend on has a problem, or because something has broken.

We may add, change or remove features. If we remove something you rely on, or make a change that materially reduces what a paid subscription gives you, we will tell you in advance and you may cancel.

Your device does the sync, and the app keeps a copy of your data locally. That is not a backup service. Keep your own copies of anything you would be upset to lose.

We are liable for damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, for death or personal injury, and for anything else that Portuguese or EU law does not permit us to exclude. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

Beyond that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of data where you had a reasonable opportunity to keep your own copy, or for decisions taken on the basis of the nutrition estimates the app produces.

You can stop using the app whenever you like and delete your account from the settings.

We can suspend or close an account that is being used to break these terms or the law, or that is damaging the service for other people. Except where the breach is serious or repeated, we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it right. If we close your account without cause, you get a proportionate refund of any subscription time you have paid for and not used.

Portuguese law governs this agreement. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the EU, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country, and you may bring proceedings in the courts where you live.

If something goes wrong, please write to us first — most things are quicker to fix that way. If we cannot resolve it, you can use the consumer-redress routes linked in the footer of this site: the Portuguese electronic complaints book, the alternative dispute resolution entity we are registered with, and the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.

We may update these terms — for a new feature, or because the law changes. We will post the new version here and move the date at the top. If a change materially affects your rights or what you pay, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use the app after that means you accept it. If you do not, you can cancel and delete your account.
