Please note: Section 16 requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives class actions and jury trials. You may opt out within 30 days — see section 16(f). Section 14 limits what we can be liable for.

1. Agreement and who can use BabyMeter

By downloading or using BabyMeter, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the app. BabyMeter is designed primarily for parents, guardians, and other caregivers, but we do not set a minimum age for using it.

2. What BabyMeter is

BabyMeter is a tool for recording and organizing information you enter about a baby — feeds, sleep, diapers, and the other things you log — kept on your device, synced through your own iCloud account, and optionally shared with caregivers you invite. Features may change, and the app or specific features may be updated or discontinued. Availability isn't guaranteed and depends on your device, your Apple account, iCloud, and your connectivity, which are your responsibility.

3. Not medical advice — please read

BabyMeter is for recordkeeping and organization only. It does not provide medical advice and does not diagnose, monitor, detect, prevent, or treat any condition. It is not an emergency or safety-monitoring service, and it is not a substitute for a medically approved monitoring device.

Do not rely on its entries, summaries, reminders, predictions, or notifications to decide whether your baby is safe or well. Predictions and "typical for age" windows are estimates, not guidance about your specific child. Always use your own judgment, consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical questions, and contact emergency services for urgent concerns. Using BabyMeter creates no clinician–patient relationship. You are responsible for checking that information is accurate before you rely on it or share it with a clinician.

You acknowledge and agree that decisions about your child's health, feeding, sleep, and safety are yours and your healthcare provider's, that BabyMeter is not part of making them, and that you accept the risk of relying on any information the app displays.

4. Your information: accuracy, syncing, and keeping your own copy

You're responsible for the accuracy of what you enter. Automated totals, summaries, and predictions may contain errors. Syncing through iCloud may be delayed, duplicated, overwritten, or fail, and records can be lost. Don't make BabyMeter the only place you keep information that matters medically — keep your own copy of anything important (you can export your data at any time from Settings → Data → Export). Deleting records, deleting the app, leaving a shared family, changing Apple IDs, or turning off iCloud can remove your data or stop it syncing, sometimes irreversibly.

5. Caregiver sharing

Only invite people you're authorized to share the child's information with, and obtain any permission required from others. You represent that you have the authority to enter and share the information you put into BabyMeter about a child. Caregivers in a shared family can view, add, edit, export, and delete shared records; the app records which caregiver created or changed an entry, but you should still invite only people you trust. We're not responsible for disputes between caregivers, and you're responsible for removing access when someone is no longer authorized. Don't use sharing to violate a custody order, protective order, or anyone's privacy.

6. Acceptable use

Don't: break the law; access accounts or data you're not authorized to; harass or abuse anyone; reverse engineer the app except where the law forbids restricting that; disrupt the app or Apple's services; upload malware; impersonate anyone; use another person's information without authority; resell the app or scrape it with automated tools; submit a third party's confidential or sensitive information in a bug report without permission; or use BabyMeter to make automated medical or safety decisions.

7. Your content and the limited rights you give us

You own the information and photos you enter — they're yours. BabyMeter processes them on your device and through your own iCloud/Apple account to provide the app; we don't upload your routine records to our own systems, and we take no broad or perpetual license over your baby's records or photos.

If you choose to send us a bug report or support request, you give us a limited license to use what you send solely to diagnose and fix the issue and to support you — including making internal copies and creating sanitized, non-identifying issue notes with personal information removed. You confirm you have the right to send us everything you include.

8. Our intellectual property

BabyMeter — the app, its name and branding, interface, and documentation — belongs to Joopa LLC. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by these Terms and by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (which applies unless we give you a custom one). Don't use our trademarks without permission. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation or payment. To report an intellectual-property concern, contact legal@babymeter.app.

9. Price, purchases, and free features

BabyMeter is free to download, and tracking every kind of entry — along with importing and exporting your data, the visit report, milestone reminders, and stale-timer alerts — is free. Family sharing is included free for a small household, currently up to two caregivers; inviting caregivers beyond that is part of the optional paid unlock described below.

Some features are offered as a one-time paid unlock — not a subscription. You buy it once; nothing auto-renews and there is nothing to cancel. The price and exactly what the unlock includes are shown in the app before you buy. Personalized sleep predictions include a free trial period that begins on its own and simply ends — no charge, no payment details, nothing to cancel.

When a trial ends, or if a purchase is refunded, the feature returns to its free version. We don't delete anything you've set up and we don't remove a caregiver you've already added; you keep your records either way.

Purchases, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store's terms — we never receive your payment details, and we won't charge you without your authorization through Apple. We may change the price of the unlock or what it includes for future purchases; that never takes away something you've already bought. If we ever decide to charge for something we've said will stay free, we'll give notice first.

10. Third-party services

BabyMeter relies on Apple and iCloud, and any voluntary support submissions may be handled through our email or other providers named in the Privacy Policy. Their terms, availability, and privacy practices are outside our control, and we're not responsible for their outages or acts. Apple is not responsible for BabyMeter and does not sponsor or endorse it.

11. Apple App Store terms

Because BabyMeter is distributed through Apple's App Store, you acknowledge: these Terms are between you and Joopa, not Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for BabyMeter; if the app fails to conform to any warranty that can't be disclaimed, you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price (if any), and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation; Apple isn't responsible for addressing any claim about the app, including product-liability, legal-compliance, or third-party intellectual-property claims; you represent that you aren't located in a country subject to a U.S. embargo or on a U.S. prohibited-parties list; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them.

12. Stopping and suspension

You can stop using BabyMeter at any time by deleting it. We may limit or stop providing the app, its features, or support — for example if you violate these Terms, or to comply with the law or protect the service. Because your records live on your device and in your own iCloud account (and any shared family's iCloud), we can't and don't delete them for you when you stop; manage or delete them through the app, iCloud, and Apple ID settings. The sections meant to survive — the medical disclaimer, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, dispute resolution and arbitration, and governing law — continue after you stop. Where feasible, we'll give reasonable notice before discontinuing a cloud-dependent feature.

13. Disclaimers

BabyMeter is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent the law allows — including warranties of accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that reminders, notifications, predictions, or syncing will work at any particular time, or that your records will be preserved. Some consumer warranties can't legally be excluded; those remain in force.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Joopa LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost or corrupted data or lost profits. Our total liability for all claims relating to BabyMeter is limited to the lesser of the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or US $100. These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct. BabyMeter is not a safety device, and this section is not a substitute for your own judgment about your child's wellbeing.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Joopa LLC and its owners and members from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) that arise out of: (a) your misuse of BabyMeter; (b) your violation of these Terms or of the law; (c) content or information you submit — including bug-report attachments — that infringes or violates someone's rights; or (d) your sharing of a child's information with people you weren't authorized to share it with. This does not cover claims caused by our own negligence or misconduct.

16. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to participate in a class action.

(a) Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or any formal proceeding, email us at legal@babymeter.app describing the problem and what you'd like us to do, and give us 30 days to resolve it informally. Most things end here.

(b) Binding individual arbitration. If we can't resolve it, you and Joopa agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to BabyMeter or these Terms will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction.

(c) Class-action and jury waiver. Arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis. You and Joopa each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it, and only to the extent needed to satisfy that party's own claim.

(d) Exceptions. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court instead of arbitration, and either of us may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorized access to the app.

(e) How arbitration works. Arbitration may be conducted by written submissions, by phone or video, or in person; if an in-person hearing is needed, it will take place in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules govern how fees are allocated, and we will pay the portion of filing and arbitrator fees those rules assign to us. The arbitrator decides questions about the scope and applicability of this arbitration agreement, except that whether subsection (c) is enforceable is for a court to decide.

(f) Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@babymeter.app with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name and the email or Apple ID you use with BabyMeter. Opting out affects nothing else in these Terms, and we won't treat you differently for doing it.

(g) If part of this section fails. If subsection (c) is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in the courts identified in section 17, and the rest of this section still applies to everything else.

(h) Time limit for claims. To the extent permitted by law, any claim relating to BabyMeter must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

(i) Where this doesn't apply. Nothing in this section applies where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country or state prohibits it, or removes a right you have under such a law — including your right to bring a claim before a local court or consumer body where that right cannot be waived.

17. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without its conflict-of-laws rules. For anything not subject to arbitration under section 16, the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue, and you consent to that. Nothing here removes rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection laws that apply to you.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll change the effective date and post the current version at babymeter.app, with meaningful notice of material changes. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them, where that is legally effective. A change to section 16 does not apply to a dispute we already knew about when the change was posted.

19. General

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of it. We may assign these Terms (for example, in a sale of the app); you may not assign yours. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about BabyMeter. Headings are for convenience only. You agree to receive notices from us electronically — in the app or at the email address you give us. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
