Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Ruifeng Lin (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of the Is My Cat Fat mobile application, related services, and community features (collectively, the “Service”).

By downloading, accessing, purchasing through, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you. You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

3. Important veterinary disclaimer

The Service provides general educational and entertainment information only. It does not provide veterinary or medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, calorie prescriptions, or emergency services.

AI estimates are based only on visible information in a submitted photo and the details you provide. Fur, breed, pose, age, lighting, camera angle, illness, and many other factors may make a result inaccurate. Do not make feeding, medication, or treatment decisions solely from the Service. Consult a licensed veterinarian about your cat’s weight, body condition, diet, symptoms, or changes in appetite or behavior. Contact a veterinarian promptly for urgent or sudden health concerns.

4. Accounts and access

The Service may create an anonymous account identifier for your device. You are responsible for maintaining control of your device and for activity through your account. Anonymous accounts may not be recoverable if you lose your device, delete the App, or clear its data unless an account-linking option is available and used.

You agree to provide accurate information and notify us at abbyhuang@dimemarketplace.com if you believe your account or access has been compromised.

5. Your photos and content

You retain any rights you have in photos and other content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and process User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the requested Service.

You represent that you own or have permission to submit User Content and that doing so does not violate another person’s privacy, intellectual property, or other rights. Do not submit photos containing people, sensitive documents, unlawful material, or content you are not authorized to share.

6. Community leaderboard

A scan is private unless you choose to share its cat name and score on the community leaderboard. You must not use offensive, deceptive, infringing, or personally identifying text as a cat name. We may remove leaderboard content or restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law, or enforce these Terms.

7. Subscriptions and purchases

• Prices, billing periods, trial terms, and included features are displayed before purchase and may vary by location.
• Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. Apple processes the transaction, not the Company.
• A subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, subject to Apple’s applicable rules.
• You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple account subscription settings. Deleting the App or your App account does not automatically cancel an App Store subscription.
• If a free trial is ever offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends. Unused trial time may be forfeited when a subscription is purchased. Current plans may be sold without a free trial.
• Refund requests are handled by Apple under its refund policies. We cannot issue App Store refunds directly.

We may change subscription pricing or features prospectively. Apple will provide any notice or consent process required for a price change.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service unlawfully or to violate another person’s rights.
• Submit malicious code, probe security, bypass rate limits, or disrupt the Service.
• Scrape, automate, reverse engineer, or extract the Service or its AI systems except where applicable law expressly permits it.
• Misrepresent AI output as a veterinary diagnosis or professional opinion.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without written permission.
• Use the Service to build or train a competing model, product, or dataset.

9. AI output

The Service uses third-party artificial intelligence. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, or similar to output provided to other users. You are responsible for evaluating output and deciding whether to rely on it. Subject to these Terms and applicable law, you may use output generated for you for personal, non-commercial purposes, but we do not promise that output is unique or eligible for intellectual-property protection.

10. Our intellectual property

Except for User Content, the Service—including its software, branding, visual design, illustrations, text, and arrangement—is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms give you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service as intended. No other rights are granted.

11. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties such as Apple, Supabase, Google Gemini, RevenueCat, and hosting providers. Their services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.

12. Changes and availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, permanent storage, compatibility with every device, or continued availability of a particular feature. We may update these Terms and will post the revised version with a new effective date. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

13. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR CAT OR PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you. You retain any non-waivable consumer rights.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY THROUGH THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US $100.

These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law, including to liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your User Content, your unlawful or prohibited use of the Service, or your material violation of these Terms.

16. Suspension, termination, and deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion using “Delete my account & data” in the App. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, create security or legal risk, or misuse the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute provisions.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any non-waivable consumer rights, disputes will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hudson County, New Jersey, and each party consents to those courts’ jurisdiction.

18. Additional Apple terms

If you obtained the App through Apple’s App Store, these Terms are between you and the Company, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App, its content, maintenance, support, or claims relating to it. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, as required by its rules. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not listed on a U.S. government prohibited or restricted party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce these Terms against you.

19. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement concerning the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of the Service or Company.
