Settle — Terms of Service

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE PLACEHOLDER] Operator: Desert Services Group LLC ("DSG," "we," "us") Service: Settle, an elimination-diet planning tool at wellsettled.vercel.app Contact: jeff.jones@desertservicesgroup.com

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Desert Services Group LLC governing your use of Settle (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility — 18+

You must be at least 18 years old to use Settle. Settle is not directed to and may not be used by anyone under 18. By using the Service you represent that you are 18 or older.

2. What Settle is

Settle is an educational planning tool. It helps you organize a structured elimination-and-reintroduction food experiment and view your own logged observations as Insights. Settle produces diagnostic information, not a diagnosis.

3. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER — please read carefully

Settle is not medical advice and does not provide a diagnosis. Settle helps you run a structured food experiment and organize what you observe. It cannot and does not diagnose food allergies, coeliac disease, IBS, or any other condition; its Insights are correlations within your own diary, not medical findings.

• Talk to a doctor or dietitian before starting an elimination diet — especially if you have a known allergy, are underweight, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, have a history of disordered eating, or are managing any other medical condition. Elimination diets can carry nutritional and other risks.
• Do not stop, start, or change any medication or prescribed treatment based on the Service.
• Reintroducing foods can trigger reactions, including serious ones. Stop any challenge immediately and seek emergency care for severe reactions such as trouble breathing, swelling of the face/throat, fainting, or a rapid widespread rash. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
• Always use your own judgment and your clinician's guidance over anything the Service shows.

Your use of the Service for any health-related decision is at your own risk.

4. Accounts (optional)

You can use Settle entirely on your device with no account. If you enable cloud sync, you create an account with your email using passwordless magic-link sign-in. You are responsible for keeping access to your email, your passphrase, and your recovery key secure. Because of Settle's zero-knowledge design, if you lose both your passphrase and your recovery key, your synced data cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. You are responsible for keeping your own backups (the app's export feature lets you do this).

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service if you are under 18;
• use the Service for anyone other than yourself, or to provide medical, dietary, or clinical services to others;
• attempt to access another user's account or data, or to defeat the row-level security or encryption;
• probe, scan, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure;
• reverse engineer, scrape, or build a competing service from the Service except as permitted by law;
• upload unlawful content or use the Service to violate any law or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

6. Your content and your data

You own the data you enter. You grant us only the limited license needed to store and sync it to provide the Service (for synced data, only as an encrypted blob we cannot read). Our handling of your data is described in the Privacy Policy and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding your data), is owned by DSG and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own personal use under these Terms. The Service may include third-party open-source components used under their own licenses.

8. No warranty

[ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED — disclaimer scope and required conspicuous formatting.]

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY INSIGHT IS ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY HEALTH DECISION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

9. Limitation of liability

[ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED — caps, carve-outs, and enforceability for a health-related consumer service; confirm against Arizona law and consumer- protection limits. The bracketed cap amount must be set with counsel.]

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DSG AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR PERSONAL INJURY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED [THE GREATER OF AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR USD $50 — CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL]. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

10. Indemnification

[ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED.]

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DSG from claims arising out of your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or applicable law, to the extent permitted by law.

11. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service and may update these Terms. We will update the effective date and provide notice of material changes. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or to comply with law or protect the Service. On termination, the data-handling and survival provisions of these Terms and our privacy documents continue to apply.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any non-waivable consumer rights, the exclusive venue for disputes is the state or federal courts located in Arizona, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

[ATTORNEY: decide whether to add arbitration / class-action-waiver / informal- dispute-resolution clauses; confirm Arizona venue is appropriate and enforceable for out-of-state consumers.]

14. Miscellaneous

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice, are the entire agreement between you and DSG regarding the Service.
