Plain English: 40/12 is an educational reference app for pregnancy and postpartum nutrition. You buy it once, you keep it forever. We've done our best to present authoritative, well-sourced content — but this is not medical advice and is not a substitute for your healthcare provider. Don't reverse-engineer or copy the app. If something breaks, reach out and we'll fix it.
Scope & Acceptance
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("User") and the developers of the App ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the 40/12 iOS application ("the App").
By downloading or using the App you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or have obtained parental/guardian consent where applicable) and that you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms apply alongside the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which govern your relationship with Apple in connection with the App Store.

Educational Content — Not Medical Advice
Important: The content in 40/12 is educational reference material sourced from government health agencies and major medical authorities. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider — your OB-GYN, midwife, family physician, or IBCLC — before making any decisions about your health, nutrition, or pregnancy care.
We curate and present information from publicly available guidelines. We do not make original medical claims, provide personalised recommendations, or take responsibility for decisions made based on the information in the App.

Intellectual Property
The App, its content (including text, nutritional data presentations, design, graphics, and structure), and all related intellectual property rights are owned by us or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you.
Nutritional guideline data presented in the App is sourced from public government publications (ACOG, NIH ODS, ABM, NHS, etc.) and attributed accordingly. Such source material remains the property of the respective issuing bodies.
Third-Party Services
The App integrates with the following third-party services:
- Apple App Store — distribution and payment processing.
- RevenueCat — purchase entitlement management.
- USDA FoodData Central API — public nutritional data for food items.
- Google Gemini API — AI-generated stage context summaries (where shown).
Your use of these services is subject to each provider's own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party services.
Updates & Availability
We may release updates to the App from time to time. Updates may modify, add, or remove features. We do not guarantee that the App or any particular feature will remain available indefinitely.
Content accuracy is reviewed periodically. AI-generated summaries in the App reflect models and data available at the time of generation and should be treated as contextual reference, not as current clinical guidance.
Support is available via email at developers@vrunik.com. We will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly but do not guarantee response times.
Warranty Disclaimer
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any content in the App for any particular purpose.
For consumers in the EU and UK: these disclaimers do not affect your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law, including rights relating to the conformity of digital content.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR PERSONAL INJURY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 100.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
Consumer Rights (EU & UK)
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or United Kingdom, you benefit from mandatory statutory protections that these Terms cannot override, including:
- A 14-day right of withdrawal from a digital content purchase, unless you have expressly consented to immediate delivery and acknowledged that this waives your withdrawal right.
- Rights relating to the conformity of digital content under Directive (EU) 2019/770 or UK equivalent.
- Access to alternative dispute resolution. EU consumers may use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
Termination
You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. Deletion removes your local data but does not affect any App Store purchase record associated with your Apple ID.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you materially breach these Terms and fail to remedy the breach within 14 days of being notified. In the event of termination due to our breach or circumstances within our control, we will provide a pro-rated refund of any amounts paid where legally required.
Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these Terms that cannot be resolved amicably shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence and to rely on any mandatory local consumer protection laws.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when required by law or when we make material changes to the App. We will notify you of material changes through the App or via App Store update notes. Continued use of the App after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance.
