Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using søvei ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

You must be at least 13 years old to use søvei. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 13 years old and, if between 13 and 18, that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

søvei is a comprehensive health and fitness tracking application that allows you to:

• Log nutrition, workouts, sleep, and other health metrics
• Upload and analyze lab results
• Track medications, supplements, and injuries
• Receive AI-powered health insights and personalized recommendations
• Monitor trends in your health data over time
• Connect with friends and participate in health challenges
• Sync with Apple Health, Google Fit, and Health Connect
• Track menstrual cycles and receive predictions

The Service is available through our web application and mobile apps (iOS and Android). Feature availability may vary by platform.

4. Labs Feature Terms

By using the lab results upload and analysis feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

4.1 Privacy-First Processing

• Your PDF lab report or photo is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded to our servers
• Personal identifying information (name, DOB, address, SSN, MRN) is automatically removed before any data is transmitted
• Only de-identified lab values (marker name, value, unit, reference range) are sent to AI services for analysis
• The AI cannot determine whose lab results it is processing
• You are responsible for reviewing extracted data before saving it to your account

4.2 Accuracy Limitations

• Automated extraction may not capture all values or may occasionally misread values due to document quality, formatting variations, or OCR limitations
• You should always verify extracted values against your original lab report
• Reference ranges may vary between laboratories; always refer to your lab's specific ranges
• We are not responsible for errors in automated data extraction
• AI analysis is educational only and does not constitute medical interpretation

4.3 Your Responsibilities

• You must have the legal right to access and use any lab reports you upload
• You should not upload lab reports belonging to other individuals without their explicit consent
• You are responsible for the security of lab report files on your device
• You should discuss any concerning results with a qualified healthcare provider

5. Medication Tracking Terms

By using the medication tracking feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

5.1 Not a Pharmacy or Medical Service

• søvei is not a pharmacy, medical provider, or medication management service
• We do not prescribe, dispense, or recommend medications
• We do not verify drug interactions or contraindications
• You must follow your healthcare provider's instructions for all medications

5.2 Reminder Limitations

• Medication reminders are provided as a convenience feature only
• You should not rely solely on our reminders for critical medications
• We are not liable for missed doses due to notification failures, app errors, or device issues
• You are responsible for taking medications at the correct times and dosages

5.3 Data Privacy

• Your medication data is never shared with insurance companies, employers, or third parties
• When medication data is processed by AI, it is associated only with an anonymous identifier — AI providers cannot determine your identity
• See our Privacy Policy for complete details on medication data handling

6. AI Features & Limitations

søvei uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized insights, recommendations, and analysis. By using AI features, you acknowledge:

6.1 AI Limitations

• AI recommendations are generated by machine learning models and may contain errors
• AI does not have access to your complete medical history, current health status, or circumstances beyond what you provide to the Service
• AI cannot replace the judgment of qualified healthcare professionals
• AI-generated content should be verified with authoritative sources
• AI models may occasionally produce inaccurate or inappropriate responses

6.2 Data Sent to AI Providers

Before your data is sent to AI providers:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, location, contact details, appearance) are never sent
• Health metrics (age, weight, height, sex) are shared for accurate recommendations
• All data is associated with an anonymous identifier only
• The AI cannot identify you personally or contact you

6.3 AI Provider Terms

Our AI providers (Anthropic, xAI) have committed to not training their models on API-submitted data. Your health information is used only to generate responses for you, not to improve general AI models.

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access at security@sovei.me

10. Subscriptions and Payments

10.1 Free and Paid Features

Some features of the Service require a paid subscription ("søvei Pro"). Features available to free and paid users may change over time. We will notify subscribers before removing features from their plan.

10.2 Pricing

Current pricing is displayed on our website and in the app. Prices may change with 30 days' notice. Price changes do not affect current billing periods.

10.3 Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. You authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred. Payment is processed securely through Stripe.

10.4 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will send a reminder email before renewal for annual plans.

10.5 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through Settings → Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to paid features until the end of the period.

10.6 Refunds

We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods. However, we may offer refunds in the following circumstances:

• Service outage exceeding 24 hours: pro-rated refund for affected days
• Accidental renewal within 7 days: full refund upon request
• Technical issues preventing service use: case-by-case consideration

Contact support@sovei.me for refund requests.

10.7 Discounts

We offer discounts to students, military personnel, and healthcare workers. Discount eligibility is verified through SheerID. Discounts cannot be combined with other offers.

10.8 Refunds, Disputes, and Affiliate Commissions

When a payment is refunded or disputed (chargeback), access to paid features ends immediately and your subscription is canceled. If your account was referred through the affiliate program, the corresponding commission is held until the chargeback window closes (120 days). If the payment is refunded or disputed during that window, the matching commission is clawed back automatically.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, functionality, design, and branding are owned by søvei and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.

11.1 Your Data

You retain full ownership of your health data. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your data as necessary to provide the Service to you. We will not use your data for any purpose other than providing and improving the Service.

11.2 User Content

If you contribute content to community features (comments, challenges, activity feed), you grant us a license to display that content to other users as part of the Service. You may delete your contributions at any time.

11.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us the right to use that feedback without compensation or attribution.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• 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, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT
• WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS
• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL
• OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS OR (B) $100 USD
• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY HEALTH DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE, INCLUDING DECISIONS ABOUT MEDICATIONS, TREATMENTS, OR LIFESTYLE CHANGES
• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ERRORS IN AI-GENERATED CONTENT, AUTOMATED DATA EXTRACTION, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE FAILURES

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless søvei and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights
• Content you submit to the Service
• Your negligence or intentional misconduct

14. Termination

14.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time through Settings → Your Data → Delete Account. Two deletion paths exist and they behave differently — the specifics are in Section 14.3.

• Per-category data deletion (e.g. nutrition, workouts, sleep, or a date range): the rows enter a 30-day soft-deletion recovery window.
• Full-account deletion: immediate and irreversible, with no recovery window. Export your data first if you may want it later.

14.2 Termination by Us

We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice, for:

• Violation of these Terms
• Fraudulent or illegal activity
• Harassment of other users
• Abuse of the Service or our support team
• Non-payment of subscription fees

14.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. You may export your data before termination. Termination does not affect any accrued rights or obligations.

Per-category data deletion (deleting a single category, e.g. all your sleep logs) enters a 30-day soft-deletion recovery window. During this window the rows are hidden from the app but can be recovered from Settings → Privacy. After 30 days the rows are permanently and irreversibly deleted, except where retention is required by law (see our Privacy Policy for the legally-required retention list).

Full-account deletion is immediate and irreversible. There is no 30-day recovery window for full-account deletion: the moment you confirm the deletion, your account row, every health-data table tied to your account, and your authentication record are removed in one transaction. We cannot recover the account afterwards. Export your data first if you may want it later.

If you believe your account was compromised but have not yet deleted it, we recommend changing your password immediately rather than deleting — once the account is deleted, recovery is not possible.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at legal@sovei.me and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to respond within 30 days and work toward a resolution.

15.2 Arbitration

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted in English, and the arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.

15.3 Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve disputes only on an individual basis and waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

15.4 Exceptions

Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.

15.5 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

16. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes:

• Minor Changes:We will update the "Last updated" date
• Material Changes: We will notify you by email and/or through the app at least 30 days before the changes take effect

Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and søvei regarding the Service.

17.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

17.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

17.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

17.5 Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, labor disputes, or government actions.
