Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the Plateby service, package app.plateby, available at https://plateby.app and in the Android app. https://plateby.app/terms remains Plateby's own copy and is not redirected here.

The service

Plateby is a web and mobile application for weekly meal planning, shopping list generation, nutrition tracking, and household sharing. It includes AI-assisted plan generation and a shared recipe pool. The mobile app contains ads on free accounts.

Accounts

You need a valid account to use Plateby. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and must not share it. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you become aware of unauthorised access. If you create an account for another person, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms on their behalf.

Acceptable use

You agree not to create or share unlawful, misleading, or harmful content; damage the service, place it under excessive load, or attempt unauthorised access; access another user's account without authorisation; scrape the service at scale with automated tools; reverse-engineer the source code; or resell or sublicense the service for commercial purposes.

User content

Content you upload (recipes, images, notes) remains yours. By uploading it, you grant Plateby a limited licence to store, process, and display it solely to provide the service. You represent that the content belongs to you or you have the right to use it, does not infringe third-party rights, and complies with the law.

Bring your own key

Plateby lets you use your own AI provider API keys. If you do, you must comply with that provider's terms, you are responsible for keeping the key secure, and any charges from the provider are yours. We store the key encrypted but do not cover costs arising from misuse.

Availability

Plateby is provided on an "as-is" basis. Interruptions may occur due to maintenance, updates, or unforeseen technical issues. Significant planned maintenance will be announced in advance where possible, but we cannot guarantee against unexpected downtime.

Pricing and subscription

Core features are available with a free account. A higher weekly meal allowance and additional features are offered through Plateby Pro. In the mobile app the subscription is purchased through Google Play, which collects and processes the payment. The current price including taxes is shown in Google Play at the moment of purchase, and that is the price that applies. The subscription runs for the period you choose and renews automatically unless you cancel before the period ends. Both plans may carry a free trial; the length that applies is shown in Google Play. Cancel at any time from Google Play → Subscriptions; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Deleting your account does not cancel the subscription. Refunds are governed by Google Play's refund policy. Price changes are notified under Google Play's subscription rules. When you use your own API key, the AI features also work without a subscription, and any provider charges are yours.

Advertising

On a free account the mobile app shows Google AdMob ads: a banner at the bottom of the screen and a full-screen ad while a plan is generated. While a Pro subscription is active, no ads are shown and the app requests none. The web version at plateby.app carries no ads. The data processed for ads is described in the Privacy Policy.

Intellectual property

The software code, interface design, brand name, and logo of Plateby belong to LifeTinker Studio. Rights over user-generated content (recipes, notes) belong to the respective users.

Limitation of liability

Plateby provides meal planning and nutritional information for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and must not be relied on solely for health decisions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LifeTinker Studio, operated by Cihan Doğan, is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from unavailability or interruption of the service, loss of user data where reasonable backup measures were in place, inaccuracies in nutritional information, or outcomes of suggestions made by third-party AI providers. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Termination

You may delete your account at any time in the app under Settings → Delete Account. We may suspend or delete accounts without prior notice for a serious breach of these terms, harm to the service, or unlawful activity. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; cancel it through Google Play.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts of Ankara have jurisdiction over disputes arising from them, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.

Changes

Material changes to these terms will be announced at least 14 days in advance in the app or by email. Continued use after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
