Terms of Use
Effective date: August 7, 2026
1. Agreement and Scope
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and SJL Craig LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“BareVue,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of the BareVue mobile application, BareVue account, related services, barevue.app features that refer to these Terms, and support provided in connection with those services (collectively, the “Service”).
SJL Craig LLC alone is responsible for BareVue’s obligations under these Terms. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to look solely to SJL Craig LLC for the performance and satisfaction of those contractual obligations. No member, manager, officer, employee, agent, or contractor of SJL Craig LLC is personally liable solely because of that person’s role or relationship with SJL Craig LLC.
For purposes of provisions that expressly refer to the “BareVue Parties,” that term means SJL Craig LLC and its current and former members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors acting on its behalf, affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns. The BareVue Parties receive the benefit of the disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions that expressly apply to them.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.
When you select the confirmation that you agree to these Terms and proceed to create or access a BareVue account, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not create, access, or use a BareVue account.
BareVue’s general Privacy Policy and any applicable Washington or Nevada consumer-health-data notice (together, the “Privacy Notices”) explain how BareVue handles personal information. Your acknowledgement of a Privacy Notice is separate from your agreement to these Terms. Any consent BareVue requests for sensitive information, advertising, or Analytics is also separate and is governed by the wording presented with that choice.
2. Account Eligibility
Every person who directly creates, controls, accesses, or operates a BareVue account must be at least 18 years old. BareVue does not offer independently controlled accounts to children.
An account holder may authorize another adult member of the same household to operate the account on a supported device. Every authorized operator must comply with these Terms. The account holder remains responsible for activity through the account, and information available through the account may be viewed, added, changed, exported, or deleted by another authorized adult operator. Use shared account access only with adults you trust.
An adult account holder may create and manage profiles for other people, including dependent profiles, only when the account holder is that person’s parent or legal guardian or otherwise has that person’s permission and authority to provide and manage the information involved.
The account holder controls the account. A person represented by a dependent profile does not separately accept these Terms merely because the account holder creates that profile. If that person directly operates the account, they must satisfy the adult-operator requirements above.
Teen-controlled accounts and other accounts held by people under 18 are not part of the launch Service.
3. The BareVue Service
BareVue is a nutrition and wellness tracking service. Depending on the available features and the access level associated with an account, the Service may help users record or review food, nutrition, weight, symptoms, food-mood information, elimination-diet information, recipes, supplements, pregnancy or lactation information, nutrition standards, trends, reports, and related information.
Some features operate locally on a device. Other features require an account, network access, a subscription, an active ad-free grace period, or completion of an optional rewarded ad. The Privacy Policy explains the related information practices.
Not medical care
BareVue is a nonmedical nutrition and wellness service. It does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, emergency services, or a substitute for the judgment of a qualified healthcare professional.
BareVue is not an emergency communications or health-monitoring service. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, contact the emergency services available where you are located.
Information you provide
BareVue’s calculations and other results depend on the information you enter, select, scan, import, or otherwise make available to the Service. Incomplete, inaccurate, estimated, or outdated information may produce incomplete or inaccurate results.
You should review information recorded in BareVue and correct errors you identify. If you manage a profile for another person, the results for that profile also depend on the completeness and accuracy of the information you know and provide about that person.
Estimates and reference information
BareVue may use formulas, population reference standards, research findings, statistical comparisons, and automated methods to produce nutrition targets, calorie and macro estimates, nutrient reference values, hydration targets, trends, ratios, possible food-mood or symptom patterns, absorption-related information, and other results.
Some results may be personalized using the information recorded in BareVue, but they remain estimates or general reference information. They may not reflect an individual’s actual metabolism, nutrient absorption, health circumstances, response, or outcome. Reference values can also differ among standards and may change when their underlying sources are updated.
BareVue does not guarantee any particular nutrition, weight, wellness, pregnancy, symptom, diet, supplement, or other result.
Scans, catalogs, matching, and imported information
BareVue may use optical character recognition, barcode matching, ingredient matching, translated food or portion labels, recipe parsing, public or third-party catalogs, manufacturer information, and other automated or external sources.
These processes and sources may contain errors, become outdated, omit information, select the wrong item, or fail to identify a relevant ingredient, allergen, dietary restriction, product, food, portion, supplement, or recipe component. A barcode match does not guarantee that the displayed record represents the exact product, formulation, package, or regional variant in front of you.
Review scanned, matched, translated, or imported information before saving or relying on it. For packaged foods and supplements, compare consequential information with the current physical package and label.
Higher-consequence decisions
Do not rely solely on BareVue to determine whether a food, ingredient, supplement, or product is safe or appropriate for you or another person. The absence of an alert, match, warning, upper-limit evaluation, or Supplement Intelligence result does not establish safety, suitability, effectiveness, tolerance, or compatibility.
Appropriate professional guidance may be important when decisions involve allergies, pregnancy or lactation, children or dependent profiles, restrictive diets or food challenges, supplements or medications, persistent symptoms, eating-disorder concerns, or another circumstance requiring individualized judgment.
Food Mood, symptom, elimination-diet, and similar patterns shown by BareVue are observational. They do not establish diagnosis, causation, intolerance, allergy, or treatment effectiveness.
Reports and reminders
Reports generated by BareVue summarize user-entered information and automated results. They are not medical records or professional interpretations and should be reviewed before being relied upon or shared.
Notifications and reminders are convenience features. Their delivery and timing are not guaranteed, and they must not be used for emergencies, medication administration, clinical monitoring, or another safety-critical purpose.
4. Account Access and Responsibility
BareVue may support account access through Apple, Google, or another authentication method made available by BareVue. Your use of an external identity provider is also subject to that provider’s terms.
You are responsible for maintaining control of the identity-provider account, email account, device, and credentials used to access BareVue. You must not knowingly allow an unauthorized person to use your BareVue account. You may permit an authorized adult household member to operate the account as described in Section 2, but you remain responsible for deciding who receives that access and for ending it when it is no longer authorized.
You must provide information you are authorized to provide and must not impersonate another person or misrepresent your authority over a dependent profile.
If you believe your account has been accessed without authorization, contact support@barevue.app.
5. Privacy, Consent, Export, and Account Deletion
The Privacy Notices describe how information is handled and the privacy controls available to users.
Where an applicable country route relies on a separate sensitive-data consent to provide the core Service, withdrawing that consent means BareVue can no longer provide the Service. BareVue’s selected launch design offers an optional export and then uses the account-deletion process. It does not leave the account operating with stale nutrition standards or a reduced-function mode.
Deleting a BareVue account ends access to that account and initiates the deletion and retention behavior described in the Privacy Policy. Account deletion does not necessarily remove:
- copies previously exported, shared, printed, or stored through another service;
- information controlled independently by an app store or another recipient;
- catalog information derived from a final contribution; or
- limited records BareVue is permitted or required to retain.
Deleting a BareVue account does not cancel an Apple App Store or Google Play subscription. You must cancel store billing through the applicable store if you do not want future renewals.
6. Free Access and Rewarded Ads
BareVue may make some features available without a subscription and may offer optional rewarded ads for access to specified features or operations. The reward offered and any applicable duration or one-use boundary will be described before the ad is shown.
Current planned reward types include:
- a shared timed-access pass;
- one successfully saved Recipe Import; and
- one successfully generated PDF report.
Rewards:
- have no cash value;
- cannot be sold, transferred, or redeemed for money;
- are limited to the device and account context in which they are earned;
- expire or are consumed according to the terms shown with the reward; and
- are earned only when the stated completion requirements are met.
Completing an ad is optional. BareVue does not guarantee that an ad will be available, load successfully, or produce a reward when the completion requirements are not met. Subscribers and accounts within an applicable ad-free grace period bypass rewarded-ad requirements according to the access rules then in effect.
7. Subscriptions and Purchases
BareVue may offer subscriptions or other purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The store displays the applicable product type, price, currency, billing period if any, taxes, and renewal terms before purchase. Apple or Google processes payment and applies its purchase, billing, cancellation, and refund rules.
BareVue-provided free access outside a store purchase does not itself enroll you in recurring billing or renew.
If you purchase an automatically renewing subscription, it continues and the store charges the applicable payment method unless you cancel before the renewal deadline shown by the store. You can manage or cancel the subscription through the applicable store account.
Cancellation ordinarily stops future renewal and does not remove paid access before the end of the already paid period unless the store, a refund, chargeback, applicable law, or the current entitlement state requires a different result.
A valid subscription can provide ad-free access, cloud sync, premium themes, additional profile capacity, and other benefits associated with the purchased tier. Access is based on the subscription entitlement reported through the store, RevenueCat, and BareVue’s server-side access system.
If a subscription ends or a change to a lower tier takes effect, benefits that are not included in the current tier become unavailable. BareVue does not delete information stored locally on your device or information previously synchronized to BareVue’s cloud solely because a paid entitlement ends or changes.
If the current tier supports fewer profiles, profiles beyond its capacity remain stored but become locked. Locked profiles cannot be used or edited, but they can be included in an encrypted BareVue backup. You may regain access by restoring or purchasing a tier with sufficient profile capacity, or delete an eligible extra profile.
If the current entitlement no longer includes cloud sync, ordinary cloud synchronization stops. Stopping sync does not delete information that was previously synchronized. After qualifying access is restored, you must turn cloud sync on again before synchronization resumes.
Restoring a purchase does not create a second subscription. Refunds and purchase reversals can remove the corresponding entitlement.
Deleting the app, signing out, or deleting the BareVue account does not by itself cancel store billing.
8. User Information and Ordinary Content
As between you and BareVue, you retain any rights you hold in the personal logs, recipes, notes, profile information, and other ordinary content you enter into the Service.
You authorize BareVue to host, copy, transmit, process, format, and display that content only as reasonably needed to provide the features you request, operate and secure the Service, comply with law, and carry out the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
This section does not apply to voluntary product contributions, which are governed by the broader rights in the next section.
9. Product Contributions
Product contributions are voluntary and may include product facts, label text, barcodes, photographs, and related submission information.
You must submit only material that you have the right and authority to provide. You represent that your contribution does not knowingly infringe another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights and is not knowingly false, deceptive, unlawful, or malicious.
To the extent you own or control rights in a contribution, you grant SJL Craig LLC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable license to:
- use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, analyze, combine, and create derivative works from the contribution;
- review it, use it to prevent abuse, and use it to improve or maintain product databases and related services;
- publish, display, distribute, transmit, and otherwise make it available in BareVue or through another product database or service; and
- permit service providers, catalog partners, successors, and other recipients to exercise those rights for the permitted purposes.
Where permitted by law, you waive and agree not to assert moral rights or similar rights that would interfere with those licensed uses.
BareVue does not promise to publish, retain, review, correct, attribute, or use a contribution. Contributions are not confidential, and submitting one does not create a right to compensation, credit, approval, control over later uses, or an in-app edit or withdrawal mechanism.
Catalog information derived from a contribution may remain after account deletion and may be delivered to a third-party public database. Information controlled by a third party is subject to that third party’s terms and practices. This product rule does not eliminate privacy or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
10. Recipe Import and Third-Party Materials
Recipe Import retrieves a webpage that you choose and attempts to extract recipe-related information for your review. You are responsible for selecting the website and for ensuring that your access to and use of its content is lawful.
BareVue does not give you ownership of a third party’s recipe, photograph, trademark, or other content. Imported information may be incomplete, incorrect, protected by third-party rights, or governed by the website’s own terms.
BareVue also uses or displays information from licensors, public databases, app stores, service providers, and other third parties. Those materials remain subject to the applicable third-party rights and terms.
11. BareVue Ownership
BareVue, its licensors, and its service providers retain their respective rights in the Service and its software, source code, design, interfaces, branding, documentation, original content, compiled datasets, nutrition- standard materials, catalog structures, detection systems, and related technology, excluding user content and third-party material as described above.
These Terms do not transfer ownership of BareVue intellectual property to you.
Subject to these Terms and any applicable app-store terms, BareVue grants you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nonsublicensable right to access and use the Service for the personal and household purposes permitted by Section 13. This right permits the account holder and authorized adult household operators to use the Service on supported devices through the same account. It does not authorize resale, commercial service use, distribution, or transfer except where an applicable app-store usage rule or law expressly permits it.
For a BareVue app obtained through Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard EULA governs the software license. Open-source components remain governed by their applicable open-source licenses. BareVue and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted.
12. Feedback
If you voluntarily provide an idea, suggestion, evaluation, or other feedback about BareVue, you agree that it is not confidential and that SJL Craig LLC may use it for any lawful purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation to you.
This section does not require you to provide feedback and does not govern personal information included in feedback, which remains subject to the Privacy Policy.
13. Acceptable Use
BareVue is currently offered for lawful personal and household use. You may use it for yourself and for another person whose profile you are authorized to manage under Section 2. Unless BareVue separately agrees otherwise in writing, you may not use the Service to manage patients or clients, resell access, operate a commercial service, or provide medical or clinical care.
You must not, and must not help or direct another person to:
- use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, deceptively, or in a way that violates another person’s rights;
- impersonate another person, access an account without authorization, or provide or manage another person’s information without the permission and authority required by these Terms;
- obtain or attempt to obtain another user’s information, nonpublic BareVue information, credentials, tokens, cryptographic material, or administrative access;
- bypass, disable, deceive, or interfere with authentication, app attestation, integrity checks, security controls, rate limits, access restrictions, account protections, or deletion safeguards;
- introduce malware or harmful code, exploit a vulnerability, disrupt the Service, overload its infrastructure, or interfere with another person’s use;
- manipulate subscriptions, purchases, entitlements, free-access limits, rewarded ads, reward verification, advertising callbacks, receipts, or other access-control systems;
- forge, replay, alter, or fabricate an attestation, receipt, reward event, server response, contribution, request, or other evidence used by the Service;
- create or use another account to evade a suspension, termination, or access limit;
- use a bot, crawler, scraper, script, or other automated method to access or extract information from the Service except through functionality BareVue expressly provides or with BareVue’s prior written authorization;
- systematically copy, collect, republish, sell, license, train a model on, or create a competing database or service from BareVue’s proprietary DRI materials, catalog structures, detection systems, reference materials, or other protected content;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, derive source code from, modify, or circumvent the Service, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits the activity and does not allow that permission to be waived, or an applicable open-source license permits it;
- use Recipe Import or another BareVue feature to bypass a paywall, authentication requirement, or access control imposed by a third-party service;
- submit a contribution or other material that is unlawful, malicious, knowingly false or deceptive, infringing, or that contains another person’s information or material you lack authority to provide;
- use the Service to harass, threaten, exploit, defraud, or intentionally harm another person; or
- conceal, assist, or encourage any violation of this Section.
These restrictions do not prevent you from accessing, exporting, or using your own information; using third-party or openly licensed material according to its applicable terms; reporting a suspected vulnerability in good faith; or exercising a right that applicable law does not permit BareVue to restrict.
If you discover a suspected security vulnerability, report it to security@barevue.app. Do not exploit the vulnerability, access another person’s information, publicly disclose sensitive technical details before BareVue has had a reasonable opportunity to address the issue, or retain information obtained without authorization.
An ordinary mistake, incomplete personal log, unsuccessful scan or import, good-faith disagreement, refund request, privacy request, complaint, or criticism of BareVue is not by itself a violation of this Section.
BareVue may investigate an apparent violation and take proportionate action under Section 14. Nothing in this Section gives BareVue authority to restrict conduct that applicable law protects.
14. Suspension and Termination
BareVue may restrict a feature, temporarily suspend access, or terminate access to an account when BareVue has reasonable grounds to believe that action is needed because:
- the account may be compromised or accessed without authorization;
- the account or Service is being used for fraud, impersonation, unlawful activity, security abuse, or intentional harm;
- subscriptions, rewarded ads, entitlements, account limits, integrity checks, rate limits, or other access controls have been manipulated or evaded;
- there has been a serious, repeated, or material violation of these Terms, including Section 13;
- continued access creates a credible risk to another person, BareVue, or the security or operation of the Service;
- action is reasonably necessary to investigate or contain a credible security incident; or
- suspension or termination is required by applicable law, legal process, or a binding government or court order.
Where appropriate, BareVue may restrict only the affected feature—for example, contributions, rewarded access, synchronization, or another hosted function—instead of restricting the entire account.
BareVue may act immediately and without advance notice when delay could reasonably permit unauthorized access, fraud, illegal activity, harm to another person, loss of evidence, interference with an investigation, or an ongoing security threat, or when advance notice is prohibited or impractical under applicable law. When practical and legally permitted, BareVue will provide notice afterward identifying the general reason for the action and how to request review.
For an ordinary breach that can reasonably be corrected and does not create an urgent risk, BareVue will ordinarily provide reasonable notice and an opportunity to stop or correct the conduct before terminating account access. BareVue is not required to provide an additional cure opportunity for a severe, intentional, repeated, fraudulent, unlawful, or security-related violation, or when a previous warning has not been followed.
If BareVue restricts or terminates your access, you may request manual review by contacting support@barevue.app. BareVue will consider the available information in good faith and may uphold, modify, or remove the restriction. BareVue does not guarantee a particular review time or outcome. This review process does not limit any privacy request, store remedy, appeal, complaint, or other right available under applicable law.
A feature restriction, suspension, or termination of access does not by itself erase information stored in BareVue’s local database on your device. It may, however, prevent sign-in or access to hosted features, including Cloud Sync, contributions, rewards, subscription benefits, or other account-dependent services. BareVue cannot guarantee continued in-app access to or export of local information while account access is restricted. Hosted information remains subject to the retention and deletion practices described in the Privacy Policy.
Suspension or termination does not eliminate your applicable privacy rights. If an in-app privacy or account-deletion control is unavailable because account access is restricted, you may contact privacy@barevue.app. BareVue may verify control of the account before acting on a request.
An App Store or Google Play subscription may continue to renew until it is cancelled through the applicable store. Suspension, termination, signing out, uninstalling BareVue, or deleting the BareVue account does not automatically cancel store billing. Refunds, continued paid access, and other purchase remedies remain subject to the applicable store rules and applicable law.
You may stop using BareVue at any time. Signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete the account. To terminate and delete your account, use the account-deletion control described in Section 5 or submit an authenticated deletion request.
When account access ends, your right to use the affected Service ends. Provisions that by their nature are intended to continue—including BareVue ownership, contribution and feedback licenses, accrued obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, third-party-claim allocation, dispute provisions, and general contract terms—survive termination. Information retention and deletion continue to be governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
15. Service Availability, Changes, and Data Continuity
BareVue is designed as a local-first service. Most profile, nutrition, health, recipe, supplement, symptom, and logging information is stored primarily in the app’s database on your device. Signing in does not by itself upload that database or create a complete server copy of it.
If your device is lost, damaged, reset, or replaced, or if BareVue or its local data is removed, corrupted, or replaced, information that was stored only on that device may be permanently lost. BareVue may be unable to recover information for which no usable synchronized or backup copy exists.
Eligible subscribers may choose to enable Cloud Sync. Ongoing synchronization requires both an eligible subscription and the user’s opt-in. Cloud Sync can support continuity across devices and restoration of information that was successfully synchronized, but it does not guarantee that every local change has reached the cloud or that every record can always be restored. Turning Cloud Sync off stops ordinary future synchronization but does not automatically delete information that was previously synchronized.
BareVue also allows you to create an encrypted backup and send it to a destination you select. You are responsible for retaining and protecting the exported file. BareVue does not keep a separate copy of that file for you. Restoration requires the backup file, a compatible version of BareVue, and the availability of BareVue’s authenticated backup-key service. Device backups created by Apple, Google, or another platform are controlled by that platform and your device settings. Cloud Sync, device backups, BareVue backup files, exports, and restoration processes may reduce the risk of loss but are not guaranteed to prevent every loss.
BareVue may maintain, update, correct, modify, replace, limit, suspend, or discontinue a feature or part of the Service for security, safety, legal, technical, compatibility, operational, data-quality, third-party-availability, or important business reasons.
Routine changes may be made without advance notice. These can include bug fixes, interface changes, security improvements, compatibility updates, updated calculations or reference information, catalog changes, and changes to free or experimental features that do not materially reduce the Service.
If BareVue plans a change that materially and negatively affects access to or use of an important part of the Service, BareVue will provide reasonable advance notice when practical. Notice may be provided in the app, through the email associated with the account, on BareVue’s website, through an applicable app store, or through another reasonable channel. The notice will identify the nature and expected timing of the change.
BareVue may make an immediate change without advance notice when reasonably necessary to address a security or safety risk, comply with law or a binding order, respond to an urgent technical failure, or address the loss or restriction of a third-party service. When practical and legally permitted, BareVue will explain a material change afterward.
BareVue does not promise to maintain every feature, integration, data source, catalog, device configuration, or previous version of the Service permanently.
If a material change affects an active paid subscription, any cancellation, continued-access, refund, price-reduction, conformity, or other rights provided by the applicable app store or mandatory law remain available. Nothing in these Terms allows BareVue to charge for a service it is legally required to provide but does not provide.
If BareVue plans to discontinue the entire Service, it will provide reasonable advance notice when practical, take reasonable steps to stop offering new subscriptions or renewals as appropriate, and provide a reasonable opportunity to export available information before shutdown where technically feasible and legally permitted. An urgent legal, security, or technical event may make advance notice or continued export access impossible.
16. Disclaimers and No Additional Warranties
Section 3 explains the types of information and automated results the Service provides and the limits of reasonable reliance on them. Those explanations form part of these Terms.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except for any warranty, conformity right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, the Service is provided “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults.” The BareVue Parties make no warranty or representation about the Service other than an express promise stated in these Terms.
Without limiting Section 3, and subject to the mandatory rights described below, the BareVue Parties do not guarantee that:
- the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or compatible with every device, operating system, configuration, or third-party service;
- the Service will be free from every error, defect, harmful component, unauthorized act, or security vulnerability;
- information, calculations, estimates, reference values, research summaries, scans, matches, detections, translations, catalogs, imports, reports, reminders, or other results will always be accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for a particular decision;
- every error or defect will be identified or corrected;
- information will always synchronize, remain available, or be successfully backed up, exported, restored, or recovered; or
- use of the Service will produce any particular nutrition, weight, wellness, pregnancy, symptom, diet, supplement, or other result.
Information and services supplied by third parties remain subject to their own availability, accuracy, practices, and terms. Except where applicable law makes BareVue responsible, the BareVue Parties do not guarantee the continued availability, accuracy, compatibility, conduct, or performance of a third-party source, provider, product, website, platform, or service.
Applicable law may provide warranties, conformity rights, consumer protections, or remedies that these Terms cannot exclude, restrict, or modify. Nothing in this Section excludes or limits those rights or remedies, excuses BareVue from an express obligation stated in these Terms, or excludes liability that applicable law does not permit the BareVue Parties to exclude. Where a disclaimer in this Section cannot be fully enforced, it applies only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
17. Your Decisions and Assumption of Risk
You remain responsible for decisions you make using information provided through the Service. BareVue can help you record information, review reference values, identify possible patterns, and organize decisions, but it does not control what you or another person eats, restricts, challenges, supplements, changes, or does in response to that information.
Changing food or calorie intake, following a restrictive or elimination diet, conducting a food challenge, using a supplement, changing an established routine, or delaying professional care can involve risks. Depending on the person and circumstances, those risks may include inadequate or excessive intake, adverse symptoms, allergic reactions, supplement or medication interactions, or a delay in receiving appropriate care. BareVue may not identify or predict every relevant risk.
Before making a consequential decision, review the relevant information, physical labels, warnings, and instructions and obtain qualified professional guidance where appropriate. If you manage a dependent profile, you are responsible for decisions you make for that person and for obtaining any professional guidance that person may need.
When you voluntarily choose to undertake an activity after receiving relevant information or warnings through BareVue, you acknowledge and accept the ordinary risks inherent in that activity that you know or reasonably should understand. The absence of a BareVue warning, detection, or other result is not an assurance that an activity is risk-free.
Nothing in this Section means that you assume the risk of a false or misleading representation by BareVue, a material fact BareVue was legally required to disclose, gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or any other conduct or liability that applicable law does not permit the BareVue Parties to exclude or limit.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the BareVue Parties will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms. Depending on the circumstances, this can include downstream losses resulting from an inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or unavailable result; a missed reminder or unavailable feature; or the loss, corruption, unavailability, or reconstruction of data. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted and whether a BareVue Party was advised that the loss was possible.
If a BareVue Party is found liable for monetary damages that applicable law permits to be limited, the total aggregate liability of all BareVue Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:
- the amount you paid for the Service during the twelve months immediately preceding the event that first gave rise to the claim; or
- fifty United States dollars (US $50).
This is one collective cap for all BareVue Parties. It is not multiplied by the number of claims, legal theories, events, or BareVue Parties involved. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any refund, service credit, or other amount already provided for the same matter will be credited against this cap.
Nothing in this Section waives, limits, impairs, or disclaims any statutory damages, punitive damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, mandatory warranty, conformity right, or other right or remedy when applicable law authorizes that right or remedy and does not permit a consumer contract to waive, limit, impair, or disclaim it.
The limitations in this Section do not apply to fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence. They do not apply to death or personal injury to the extent applicable law prohibits limiting that liability. They also do not apply to any other conduct or liability that applicable law does not permit BareVue to exclude or limit.
If a limitation in this Section cannot be fully enforced in a particular jurisdiction, it will apply only to the maximum extent permitted there, and the remaining limitations will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
The US $50 amount is a maximum liability cap, not an agreed payment, service credit, or automatic entitlement. A person seeking recovery must still establish a valid claim, BareVue’s legal responsibility, and legally recoverable damages.
19. Third-Party Claims Caused by Your Conduct
This Section applies only when a person or organization other than you brings a claim against a BareVue Party because of conduct described below. It does not apply to an ordinary dispute between you and BareVue, and it does not make you responsible for BareVue’s own conduct.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will reimburse the BareVue Parties for reasonable losses, damages, judgments, settlements, and legal costs they actually incur to the extent resulting from a third-party claim arising from:
- a contribution you submitted without the rights or authority needed to provide it;
- a contribution you knowingly submitted as false, deceptive, unlawful, infringing, or malicious;
- your unauthorized provision or management of another person’s information or profile;
- your fraud, impersonation, or other unlawful conduct;
- your intentional interference with the Service, authentication, security controls, integrity checks, rate limits, subscription controls, or rewarded- ad systems;
- malware, unauthorized access, security exploitation, automated abuse, or bulk extraction caused or directed by you; or
- another material violation of the Acceptable Use rules that directly caused the third-party claim.
Your responsibility applies only to the portion of the claim caused by your conduct. It does not apply to the extent the claim resulted from a BareVue Party’s negligence, intentional misconduct, violation of law, breach of these Terms, use of a contribution outside the rights granted by you, or independent modification or misuse of material you supplied.
BareVue will give you reasonable notice of a covered claim and reasonable information needed to understand it. A delay in notice reduces your responsibility only to the extent the delay materially harms your ability to respond.
BareVue may control the defense of a covered claim using reasonably selected counsel, and you agree to provide reasonable cooperation. You may participate through your own counsel at your own expense. BareVue will not settle a claim and seek reimbursement from you for that settlement without your prior consent, which you may not unreasonably withhold or delay. BareVue will not agree to a settlement that requires you to admit wrongdoing or undertake a nonmonetary obligation without your prior written consent.
Nothing in this Section requires you to reimburse a BareVue Party for an amount that applicable law does not permit BareVue to recover from you.
20. Dispute Resolution and Maryland Law
Governing law and preserved consumer rights
Except for matters governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms and disputes arising out of or relating to the Service or the relationship between you and BareVue are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement below.
This choice of law does not deprive you of a mandatory consumer protection, remedy, filing period, or right to use a local court that applicable law does not permit these Terms to waive or displace.
Informal dispute resolution
Before either you or BareVue starts an arbitration or court proceeding, the claiming party must ordinarily give the other party an individualized written notice of the dispute and allow 30 days for an informal resolution attempt.
Your notice to BareVue must be sent to business@barevue.app with
Legal Dispute Notice in the subject line. It should include:
- your name and contact information;
- the email address or identity provider associated with your BareVue account, if applicable;
- a description of the relevant facts;
- the specific relief or resolution you are requesting; and
- enough information for BareVue to evaluate the dispute.
Do not include food logs, health information, dependent-profile information, or other sensitive content unless it is genuinely necessary to explain the dispute.
BareVue will send its notice to the email address associated with your account or another contact method you provided.
Both sides agree to participate in the informal process in good faith. Neither side is required to accept a settlement. An applicable filing period is tolled from receipt of a complete notice until the end of the 30-day period, to the extent permitted by law.
This informal process does not replace ordinary customer support, a privacy request, an account-deletion request, or a complaint to a government agency. It is not required before seeking temporary emergency relief, and it does not prevent a party from taking a step reasonably necessary to preserve a claim before an otherwise applicable filing period expires.
Important arbitration notice for United States users
IF YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE IS IN THE UNITED STATES OR ONE OF ITS TERRITORIES OR POSSESSIONS, YOU AND SJL CRAIG LLC AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE MATTERS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED BELOW, DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION DOES NOT USE A JUDGE OR JURY, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
This arbitration agreement applies mutually to you and the BareVue Parties. It covers any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to:
- the Service;
- these Terms or the Privacy Notices;
- a BareVue account, feature, subscription, rewarded ad, contribution, communication, or transaction;
- the relationship between you and a BareVue Party; or
- an alleged act, omission, representation, or legal duty connected with the Service,
regardless of whether the claim is based in contract, statute, regulation, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or another legal theory.
Matters that are not required to be arbitrated
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction. If a claim filed in arbitration qualifies for small claims, either party may elect small claims before an arbitrator is appointed, as permitted by the applicable arbitration rules.
Either party may seek temporary or preliminary relief from a court when reasonably necessary to preserve the status quo or prevent imminent unauthorized access, misuse of credentials or systems, security abuse, infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, or another harm that cannot reasonably await appointment of an arbitrator. Seeking that limited relief does not waive arbitration of the remaining dispute.
Nothing in this Section prevents you from reporting a matter to, requesting assistance from, or participating in a proceeding conducted by a government, law-enforcement, consumer-protection, privacy, or regulatory authority.
A claim is also excluded from mandatory arbitration to the extent applicable law gives the person bringing it a nonwaivable right to choose a court or otherwise prohibits predispute arbitration of that claim.
Arbitration rules and procedure
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. If AAA determines that coordinated filings qualify as a consumer mass arbitration, AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and applicable consumer mass-arbitration fee schedule will also apply.
The arbitration will be decided by one neutral arbitrator. It may proceed through written submissions, telephone, video conference, or an in-person hearing as permitted by the applicable AAA rules. Any in-person consumer hearing will occur in the county where you primarily reside or another location agreed by both sides, unless applicable law or the AAA rules require a different location.
If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistently with this Section, the parties will attempt to agree on another nationally recognized consumer-arbitration provider. If they cannot agree, a court with authority under the Federal Arbitration Act may appoint an arbitrator and direct the arbitration to proceed. BareVue may not unilaterally select a replacement provider after a dispute begins.
A court, rather than the arbitrator, will decide a dispute over whether this arbitration agreement or the class-action waiver is valid or applies. The arbitrator will decide the merits and all other procedural or evidentiary issues properly submitted in the arbitration.
The arbitrator will issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions. The award is final and binding, subject to the limited review permitted by applicable arbitration law, and a court with jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award.
Arbitration fees and available relief
You will not be required to pay more in arbitration filing or administration fees than the amount assigned to an individual consumer under the applicable AAA consumer rules. BareVue will pay the business fees, case-management fees, arbitrator compensation, and other amounts the applicable consumer rules require BareVue to pay.
An arbitrator may reallocate fees only when and to the extent the applicable rules or law permit, including where a claim was brought for harassment or was patently frivolous. Each side otherwise pays its own attorneys’ fees and ordinary expenses unless a statute, the applicable rules, or the arbitrator’s award lawfully requires a different allocation.
The arbitrator may award any individual relief that a court could award, including legally available monetary, declaratory, statutory, or injunctive relief. Sections 16 through 19 remain applicable to the extent they are lawful, but this arbitration agreement does not eliminate a remedy that applicable law does not permit BareVue to waive, limit, impair, or disclaim.
Class, collective, and representative-action waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE BAREVUE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING A CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
Except for administrative coordination under AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, and unless every affected party agrees after the dispute arises, an arbitrator may not combine different people’s claims, conduct a class or representative proceeding, or award relief for anyone other than the individual parties to the arbitration.
Coordinated individual arbitration demands remain subject to AAA’s applicable mass-arbitration rules. Use of those rules does not convert the individual demands into a class action or authorize class-wide relief. Each claimant must individually satisfy the informal-notice and filing requirements.
If applicable law makes this waiver unenforceable for a particular claim or requested remedy, that claim or remedy will proceed in a court with jurisdiction rather than in class arbitration. The enforceable portions of this Section and any remaining individual arbitrable claims will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Right to opt out of arbitration
You may reject the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver without closing your account or losing access to the Service.
To opt out, email business@barevue.app within 30 calendar days after you first
accept a version of these Terms containing this arbitration agreement. Use
Arbitration Opt-Out as the subject and include:
- your name;
- the email address or identity provider associated with your BareVue account; and
- a clear statement that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement.
Do not include health, nutrition, or dependent-profile information. BareVue may take reasonable steps to verify that the request relates to your account.
A timely opt-out applies only to arbitration and the associated class-action waiver. The remaining Terms continue to apply. BareVue will not treat a valid opt-out as a violation, downgrade, or reason to restrict the account. Once properly made, the opt-out remains effective unless you and BareVue later enter a new arbitration agreement through a separate affirmative agreement.
Court proceedings and non-US users
If a dispute is not subject to arbitration, and subject to small-claims access and any mandatory local forum right, you and the BareVue Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Maryland that have authority over the dispute.
If your primary residence is outside the United States, the mandatory arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions above do not apply unless you and BareVue separately agree to arbitration after the dispute arises. You may bring a dispute in any court available under mandatory law where you live. Where applicable law permits an advance forum selection, the Maryland courts identified above remain the agreed forum.
No shortened filing period
These Terms do not shorten any statute of limitations or other filing period provided by applicable law.
21. General Contract Terms
Entire agreement and related terms
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and BareVue concerning the Service and replace prior or contemporaneous statements, understandings, and agreements between you and BareVue concerning the same subject. They do not replace:
- the Privacy Notices, which separately explain BareVue’s information practices;
- a consent or choice presented separately under a Privacy Notice;
- applicable app-store, payment, or device-platform terms between you and the relevant provider; or
- specific additional terms that you and BareVue separately accept for a future feature or offering.
If separately accepted BareVue terms expressly state that they govern a particular feature or offering, those specific terms control for that subject to the extent they cannot reasonably be read together with these Terms.
Nothing in this subsection excludes responsibility for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or eliminates a right or remedy that applicable law gives you based on a statement about the Service.
App-store and software-license terms
If you obtain BareVue through Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard EULA governs the license to the iOS application. These Terms additionally govern your BareVue account, BareVue’s services, and your direct relationship with SJL Craig LLC. BareVue does not provide a custom Apple EULA.
Google Play terms and any other applicable distribution-platform terms govern your relationship with that platform, including platform-controlled distribution, billing, and purchase processes. These Terms additionally govern your use of the BareVue Service and your direct relationship with SJL Craig LLC.
These Terms do not replace or modify a platform agreement. If a platform term and these Terms cannot reasonably be read together, the platform term controls only to the extent required for the platform relationship, software license, distribution, billing, or purchase at issue. These Terms continue to control the direct BareVue relationship to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Apple, Google, and other distribution platforms are not responsible for BareVue’s obligations under these Terms except for obligations the platform separately undertakes under its own terms or that applicable law imposes on it.
Assignment and change of control
You may not transfer your BareVue account or assign these Terms or your obligations under them without BareVue’s prior written consent, except to the extent applicable law gives you a nonwaivable transfer right.
BareVue may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, reorganization, change of control, or sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets associated with the Service. The successor must assume the applicable obligations of SJL Craig LLC under these Terms. When required by law, or when reasonably practical for a material change in the contracting party, BareVue will provide notice.
An assignment does not reduce a mandatory consumer right or release an obligation that applicable law does not permit to be released. Subject to those limitations, these Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
Survival
Ending use of the Service, deleting an account, or terminating these Terms does not affect rights or obligations that accrued before termination. Provisions that by their nature are intended to continue survive, including the ownership provisions; contribution and feedback licenses; applicable payment, refund, and record-retention obligations; disclaimers; assumption-of- risk terms; limitations of liability; third-party-claim allocation; dispute terms; and this Section. Section 14 continues to govern the consequences of suspension and termination, and the Privacy Notices continue to govern retention and deletion of information.
Severability
If a court or other authority with jurisdiction determines that part of these Terms is unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent lawfully permitted or, when lawful narrowing is not possible, severed. The remainder will continue in effect.
The specific severability and court-routing rules in Section 20 control any issue involving the arbitration agreement or class-action waiver. Nothing in this subsection authorizes rewriting a provision in a way that deprives a consumer of a mandatory right or remedy.
No waiver
A failure or delay by either party to enforce a provision does not waive that provision or any other provision. A waiver must be clear, specific, and in writing by the party granting it. A waiver on one occasion does not waive a later or different breach.
This subsection does not eliminate a defense, waiver, estoppel, or other protection that applicable law does not permit these Terms to exclude.
Events outside reasonable control
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BareVue is not responsible for a delay or failure to perform caused by an event outside its reasonable control, including a natural disaster, fire, flood, epidemic, war, civil disorder, government action, labor interruption, utility or communications failure, app-store or infrastructure outage, or cyberattack that continues despite reasonable safeguards.
BareVue will use reasonable efforts to limit the effect of such an event and resume affected performance when reasonably practical. This subsection does not excuse:
- an obligation that can still reasonably be performed;
- an accrued payment or refund obligation;
- a privacy, security, or data-protection duty to the extent applicable law requires it despite the event; or
- a termination, refund, credit, or other consumer remedy that applicable law does not permit these Terms to exclude.
Electronic communications and contractual notices
Where permitted by law, BareVue may provide account, operational, security, subscription, and contractual communications through the app, by email to the address associated with your account, or through another electronic method reasonably suited to the notice. General notices may also be posted on barevue.app when posting is appropriate for the notice involved. Section 22 governs changes to these Terms.
You are responsible for maintaining access to the Apple, Google, or other identity-provider account used with BareVue and, where the provider permits, keeping its contact information current through that provider. Electronic acceptance of these Terms and electronic records have the effect provided by applicable law. You may save or print the Terms from the website.
This subsection does not replace a separate affirmative consent to electronic records, a particular delivery method, or a paper copy when applicable law requires one.
Notices you send must use the address designated for their subject:
- ordinary account or Terms questions: support@barevue.app;
- privacy questions and rights requests: privacy@barevue.app;
- security reports: security@barevue.app; and
- the dispute notices and arbitration opt-outs described in Section 20: business@barevue.app.
None of those email addresses is designated to accept formal service of a summons, complaint, subpoena, or other legal process. Formal service must be made in the manner required by applicable law unless SJL Craig LLC expressly agrees in writing to another method for a particular matter.
Interpretation and translations
Section headings are for organization and do not limit the text. “Including” means “including without limitation.” References to a Section are references to a section of these Terms unless the context says otherwise.
If BareVue provides a translation, each translation is intended to communicate the same Terms. If versions conflict, the English version controls to the extent permitted by applicable law. This does not override a mandatory local-language requirement or a consumer interpretation rule that applicable law does not permit BareVue to waive.
Relationship of the parties and third-party rights
These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and BareVue.
Except for the BareVue Parties as expressly provided in these Terms and a person or platform expressly given enforcement rights under applicable platform terms, these Terms do not create rights enforceable by a person who is not a party to them.
Export controls and sanctions
You may not access, use, export, re-export, or otherwise provide the Service in violation of applicable export-control, sanctions, or trade laws. BareVue may restrict access when reasonably necessary to comply with those laws or a binding government order, subject to Sections 14 and 15 and any mandatory consumer rights.
22. Changes to These Terms
BareVue may update these Terms for a specific and legitimate reason, including to reflect a change to the Service, subscriptions, law, regulation, app-store requirements, security, safety, technology, business operations, or the organization responsible for BareVue. BareVue may also correct mistakes or make wording clearer. Each version will identify its effective date.
Except where applicable law requires otherwise, a change applies prospectively from its effective date. It does not alter rights or obligations that accrued before then.
A correction or other nonmaterial change that does not materially reduce your rights or increase your obligations may take effect when posted and does not require renewed acceptance. Examples include correcting a typographical or formatting error, improving clarity without changing meaning, or updating contact information.
A material change includes one that materially affects:
- payments or subscription obligations;
- permitted use of the Service;
- a license or right granted by you or BareVue;
- account access, suspension, termination, export, or deletion rights;
- warranties, risk allocation, liability, or third-party-claim obligations;
- dispute resolution; or
- a privacy or consent right addressed by these Terms.
For a planned material change, BareVue will provide reasonable advance notice when practical and as required by applicable law. The notice will identify the nature of the change, its effective date, and where the updated Terms can be reviewed. BareVue will provide the notice in the app and may also use the email associated with the account, barevue.app, an app store, or another reasonable channel.
BareVue may make a material change effective sooner, including immediately, when reasonably necessary to comply with law or a binding order, meet an app-store requirement, address fraud or abuse, respond to an urgent security or safety risk, prevent harm, or restore an affected service. When advance notice is not practical or legally permitted, BareVue will provide notice as soon as reasonably practical afterward.
BareVue will require affirmative reacceptance when a material change significantly changes the legal rights or obligations between you and BareVue or when applicable law requires it. The reacceptance screen will provide a plain-language summary, the effective date, a link to the complete updated Terms, and an unchecked acceptance control.
Acceptance is recorded for the BareVue account and applies across devices signed in to that account. The account holder remains responsible for account activity as described in Sections 2 and 4 and must ensure that only the account holder or a person authorized to act for the account holder submits renewed acceptance. A dependent profile does not separately accept an updated version of these Terms.
Reaccepting these Terms does not by itself renew, change, or withdraw a separate privacy acknowledgement, sensitive-data consent, Analytics choice, advertising choice, or other separately presented choice. If one of those choices also needs to change, BareVue will address it separately.
If renewed acceptance is required and you do not accept by the effective date, you will not be able to continue ordinary use of the account. To the extent technically feasible, BareVue will continue to make available the controls needed to export available information, delete the account, contact support or privacy, manage an app-store subscription through the applicable store, and sign out. Refusing updated Terms does not itself delete the account, erase the local database, cancel store billing, or waive a cancellation, refund, or other right provided by applicable law.
An offline device cannot receive or act on an in-app Terms notice until it next connects to BareVue. Local-only use may therefore continue under the previously accepted Terms while that device remains offline. At its next successful connection and check for Terms updates, the app will apply any notice or reacceptance requirement that has become effective.
