SoHow Terms of Use & Health Disclaimer

Last updated: August 4, 2026

By downloading or using SoHow, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

1. Not medical advice

Everything in SoHow — AI-generated nutrition estimates, target calorie and macro calculations, fasting phase descriptions, plant-variety guidance, and any coaching suggestions — is for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment.

2. Consult a professional

If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, take medication, have or are recovering from an eating disorder, or have any concern about your health, consult a qualified healthcare provider before changing your diet, starting intermittent fasting, or beginning a new exercise routine. Never disregard professional medical advice because of something in SoHow.

3. AI estimates are approximations

SoHow's food analysis (on-device and optional cloud Enhanced AI) provides best-effort estimates from photos and descriptions. Actual nutritional content varies with portion size, preparation, and ingredients. For medical or clinical purposes, always verify against package labels or a trusted database. You can edit any estimate in the app.

4. Fasting and eating-disorder safety

Intermittent fasting is not suitable for everyone. Do not fast without medical supervision if you are under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, diabetic or taking blood-sugar or other medication affected by fasting, underweight, or have a current or past eating disorder or a history of disordered eating. Fasting can carry risks such as low blood sugar, dehydration, and dizziness. If you feel unwell, faint, or unusually anxious about food while using SoHow, stop and seek help from a qualified professional.

5. Age eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if that is higher, to use SoHow. The app is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone below this age.

6. Subscriptions & free trial

SoHow offers a free trial that provides full access without payment. SoHow Pro is available as auto-renewable Annual and Monthly subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled — manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Refunds are handled by Apple under its standard policy. Prices appear in the app and may vary by region.

7. Acceptable use

SoHow is for your personal, non-commercial use. Don't misuse the app, attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it, or use it in violation of applicable law.

Fair use of the AI features. SoHow's AI features — meal photo and description analysis, the menu scanner, and the in-app companion — exist for one purpose: to help you log and understand your own food, nutrition, and wellbeing. Each cloud request costs us money to run, and the free, trial and Pro allowances are sized for that purpose. Don't use SoHow as a general-purpose AI assistant or chatbot; don't send images or text unrelated to food or your own wellbeing; don't try to override, extract or work around the instructions we give the AI; don't generate content to use elsewhere; don't send requests by script, automation, or on behalf of other people or other software; don't resell access or share one subscription across several people; and don't circumvent the daily limits (reinstalling, multiple Apple Accounts, repeating a request to farm output). Use that is automated, at a volume no ordinary person could produce, or plainly unrelated to food and wellbeing is unfair use — and we are billed for it either way. Where we see it, we may slow, limit, suspend or end access to the AI features or to the app, in proportion to what happened and with notice where we reasonably can. Using SoHow heavily for what it is meant for is never a problem.

8. No warranty / limitation of liability

SoHow is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maru Ventures Pte Ltd is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app — including health outcomes, dietary decisions, or fasting practices. You use SoHow at your own risk.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app evolves; we'll change the date above and, for material changes, note it in the app. Continued use means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law & contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Questions: support@sohow.app · Maru Ventures Pte Ltd.
