Terms of Service

1. Who we are

The service is provided by:

launchd, a sole trader established in Italy.
Email: support@launchd.online
Contact form: launchd.online/contact

Below, "we". You are "the user" or "you".

2. What the app does, and what it is not

Quanto lets you photograph what you eat and get an estimate of calories and macronutrients, keep a food diary, scan barcodes and nutrition labels, and follow your weight over time.

2.1 It is a wellness tool, not a medical device

Quanto is not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and is not intended to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat or alleviate any disease or clinical condition.

It does not replace the advice of a doctor, dietitian or nutritionist. It gives no diagnosis, produces no condition-specific meal plans, and takes no account of clinical conditions, allergies, intolerances, pregnancy, medication or other personal circumstances.

Consult a healthcare professional before significantly changing your diet, in particular if you have a medical condition or an eating disorder, if you are pregnant, or if you are under 18.

If you have or suspect you have an eating disorder, calorie counting may be harmful. In Italy you can call the free helpline SOS Disturbi Alimentari, 800 180 969.

2.2 The numbers are estimates, and sometimes they are wrong

The values shown are automatically produced estimates, not measurements. They come from recognising a photograph, which is inherently error-prone.

In particular, and without limitation:

• the same dish photographed twice may return different numbers;
• the system may miss ingredients it cannot see, such as oil, dressings, sugar or butter used in cooking;
• it may confuse similar foods whose nutritional values differ considerably;
• it may misjudge the quantity on the plate;
• packaged-product data comes partly from collaborative databases maintained by volunteers and may be incomplete or out of date.

Every value is editable by hand and it is your responsibility to check it where accuracy matters to you. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or currency of the nutritional values shown.

3. Who may use the app

You must be at least 14 years old. If you are under 18, you must use the app with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.

The app is published in Italian and is intended for the Italian market.

4. No account, and what that means

The app does not ask you to register. On first launch it creates an anonymous identifier, held in your phone's keychain, which links your records together.

You should understand the consequences:

• There is no data recovery. The identifier lives in the keychain and is lost when you uninstall the app or change phone. Access to your history goes with it.
• There is no sync between devices. The diary exists on one phone at a time.
• We cannot identify you except through the support code shown in Settings.

This is deliberate: it lets you use the app without handing anyone your email. The price is that the data is not recoverable. If your history matters to you, export it periodically from Settings.

5. Subscription, free trial and cancellation

5.1 What is free and what is not

The app is free to download. Some features require a Quanto Premium subscription, offered monthly and annually, with an initial free trial of the length stated in the app at the time of activation.

Prices, duration and conditions are shown clearly on the purchase screen before you confirm. What that screen states is what applies.

5.2 Who takes the money

The purchase is made through Apple. Payment, billing, renewal and any refunds are handled by Apple under App Store terms. We do not receive or store your card details.

5.3 Automatic renewal

The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled. The charge is applied to your Apple ID within the 24 hours before the current period ends.

You can cancel at any time in your Apple ID settings, with no penalty and without contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for: you keep access until then.

If a free trial is running, cancellation must happen at least 24 hours before the trial ends, otherwise the first period is charged.

5.4 Right of withdrawal

As a consumer you have a 14-day right of withdrawal under Articles 52 and following of the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005).

By activating the subscription and obtaining immediate access to the features you consent to immediate performance of the contract: under Article 59(1)(o) of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is extinguished once the digital service has been fully supplied, subject to your express prior acceptance.

In any event, App Store refunds are handled by Apple. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refuses a request you believe is well founded, write to us and we will do what is in our power.

5.5 Price changes

If we change the price of a running subscription, Apple will notify you with reasonable notice and ask you to accept the new price. Without acceptance, the subscription does not renew.

6. What you may and may not do

You may use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

• use the app for unlawful purposes or in breach of others' rights;
• upload photographs showing identifiable people without their consent, or sexually explicit, violent, offensive or unlawful content;
• decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the app's source code, except to the extent the law does not permit this to be restricted;
• access our systems with automated tools, circumvent usage limits or interfere with the operation of the service;
• resell, sublicense or make the service or its content available to third parties;
• systematically extract the food database.

7. Your photographs remain yours

Photographs you take remain your property. We acquire no rights over them beyond what is strictly needed to provide the service.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free licence to store, transmit and process your photographs solely to recognise the food and show you the result in your diary. This licence ends when you delete the photograph or your account.

We do not use your photographs to train artificial intelligence models, we do not share them with third parties for training purposes, and we do not use them for advertising or promotion.

If you choose to send us a photograph of a nutrition label to contribute to the product database, you authorise us to extract its nutritional values and add them to the database in a form not attributable to you. The label photograph itself is not retained. You do not have to: it is always optional.

8. Usage limits and availability

The number of photo recognitions is subject to a daily limit, stated in the app, needed to keep the cost of the service sustainable and to prevent abuse. We may change it, with notice in the app.

We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The service may be suspended for maintenance, updates or causes outside our control, including failures of the third-party providers it depends on.

9. Intellectual property

The app, its code, its design, the name Quanto and related signs belong to us and are protected by law. Nothing in these terms transfers any right in them to you.

Packaged-product data comes partly from Open Food Facts and is used under the ODbL licence, which permits commercial use with attribution.

10. Warranties and liability

10.1 Your statutory rights are untouched

As a consumer you have the legal guarantee of conformity under Articles 128 and following of the Italian Consumer Code. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes those rights, which cannot be derogated from.

10.2 Limits

Beyond clause 10.1, and to the fullest extent permitted by Italian law, the service is provided "as is". We do not warrant that the app meets specific needs not described in these terms, nor the accuracy of nutritional estimates, for the reasons in clause 2.2.

We are not liable for damage arising from: dietary, nutritional or health decisions taken in reliance on the app's estimates; loss of data following uninstallation or a change of phone, as described in clause 4; temporary unavailability of the service; malfunction of third-party services.

No limitation applies in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, of personal injury, or in any other case where the law does not permit limitation of liability. In particular, Article 1229 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 33 of the Consumer Code remain unaffected.

Where liability may be limited, it is in any event capped at the amount you actually paid for the service in the twelve months preceding the event.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the app at any time by deleting your data in Settings and uninstalling it. Cancelling the subscription is done separately with Apple, as described in clause 5.3.

We may suspend or terminate your access in the event of a serious breach of these terms, in particular clause 6, with prior notice unless the seriousness or urgency does not allow it. Where a suspension is not justified by a breach on your part, we will refund the unused portion of the subscription.

We may discontinue the service as a whole on at least 30 days' notice inside the app, refunding the unused portion of the subscription and allowing you to export your data before closure.

12. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. Material changes will be notified inside the app with at least 30 days' notice, and you will be asked to accept them. If you do not accept, you may stop using the service and cancel the subscription, with a refund of the unused portion.

Non-material changes, such as editorial corrections or updates to legal references, take effect on publication.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Italian law.

Any dispute falls within the jurisdiction of the court of the consumer's place of residence or elected domicile, where located in Italy, under Article 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code. Nothing in these terms derogates from the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country in which you reside.

Online dispute resolution. The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You may also apply to a mediation body under Legislative Decree 28/2010.

14. Miscellaneous

If a clause of these terms is void or ineffective, the others remain valid. Failure to enforce a clause is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under these terms.

These terms, together with the privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the app.
