Terms of service

1. Who we are and this agreement

Meal Possible is a product of Gather and Learn, LLC (“Gather and Learn,” “we,” “us” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Meal Possible websites (including www.mealpossible.com and app.mealpossible.com), our mobile apps, the in-app assistant, connections to your account from AI clients you authorize, and our related services (together, the “Service”).

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and is part of these Terms. By creating an account, accepting these Terms at sign-up, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, such as a coaching practice, you agree to these Terms on its behalf and confirm that you have the authority to do so.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is older, to create an account and accept these Terms.
• A parent or legal guardian may add a child to their household and manage the child’s information, and may let a minor aged 13 or older use the Service under their supervision. The parent or guardian accepts these Terms on the minor’s behalf and is responsible for the minor’s use. Children under 13 may not have their own login.
• You agree to give accurate information, keep your login details confidential, and not share your login with anyone else. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, and you will tell us promptly at info@mealpossible.com if you believe someone has used it without your permission.

3. Households, partners, coaches and sharing

Households. When you sign up, you create a household and become its administrator. An administrator can invite other adults and add family members who do not have their own login, such as children, and can manage their information. You may add information about another person only if you are their parent or legal guardian or have their permission. You are responsible for the information you enter about other people and for the decisions you make for them.

Sharing. The Service lets you share information with people you choose, such as a partner you are paired with, members of your household, or a coach. Depending on the feature and your sharing settings, they may be able to see your information and, in some cases, add to it or change it. You decide whom you share with, and you can change most sharing settings at any time. We are not responsible for what people you share with do with your information.

Coaches and practitioners. Some members use Meal Possible with a nutrition coach or other practitioner. Coaches are independent of Gather and Learn. They are not our employees or agents, and they alone are responsible for the guidance they give. A coach in your organization can see and update the information in your account. We do not verify, supervise or endorse any coach’s qualifications or advice.

If you are a coach, you are responsible for complying with the laws and professional standards that apply to your practice, including any obligations about your clients’ health information. Unless we have signed a separate written agreement with you, we do not act as your business associate under HIPAA, and you may not use the Service in a way that requires one.

4. Not medical advice

The Service is for information, education and personal tracking. That includes diet protocols such as GAPS and their stages, food lists, food and recipe checks, meal plans, nutrition facts, symptom and mood trends, cycle forecasts, and anything the AI features say. All of it is general information that may not fit your circumstances. Using the Service does not create a doctor–patient or other healthcare relationship between you and Gather and Learn.

• Talk to a qualified healthcare professional before you start or change a diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, take medication, or are making decisions for a child.
• Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read, saw or tracked in the Service.
• Food checks, allergy information and recipe suitability depend on ingredient and recipe information that may be incomplete or wrong. Always read labels and confirm ingredients yourself. We cannot guarantee that any food or recipe is free of an allergen or suitable for any person.
• Cycle forecasts are estimates. Do not use them for contraception or to plan or avoid a pregnancy.

5. AI features and AI clients you connect

The Service includes features powered by artificial intelligence, such as the assistant, food photo analysis, suggested entries, journal insights and recipe search. AI output is produced automatically, is not reviewed by a person before you see it, and may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for you. Check it before relying on it. Suggestions are proposals: you decide what is added to your records, and you are responsible for what you add.

The models behind our in-app AI features are hosted for us by our cloud provider under terms that do not allow it to use your data to train its models. We do not use your content to train AI models. Our Privacy Policy has the details.

AI clients you connect. You can connect a third-party AI client, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to your account and choose what it may do. Information that client requests from your account is sent to its provider and handled under that provider’s terms and privacy policy, not ours. Within the permissions you grant, the client can read your information and, where you allow it, add to it. You are responsible for what it does on your behalf. You can change its permissions or disconnect it at any time from your account settings.

6. Your content

You own the recipes, photos, logs, journal entries, notes and other content you add to the Service (“Your Content”). You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content as needed to operate, provide, secure and improve the Service, and to show it to the people you choose to share it with. This license ends when Your Content or your account is deleted, except for copies kept for a limited time in backups, content you shared that others have already copied, and anything we must keep by law.

• If you make a recipe shared, other Meal Possible members can see and use it.
• You confirm that you have the rights to Your Content and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights. Do not upload recipes, photos or other material that belong to someone else without their permission.
• We do not sell your personal information.

7. Our content and intellectual property

The Service and everything we provide through it, including the software, design, recipe library, guides, food lists and other content, are owned by Gather and Learn or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. “Meal Possible” and our logos are trademarks of Gather and Learn.

Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service and our content for your own and your household’s personal use or, if you are a coach, to serve your clients through the Service. You may not copy, republish, sell or build a collection from our recipe library, guides or other content except as the Service itself allows.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything illegal or harmful.
• Access, or try to access, another person’s account or information without their permission.
• Probe, scan or test the Service for vulnerabilities, or get around any security, rate limit or access control.
• Interfere with the Service, overload it, or upload viruses or other harmful code.
• Scrape, crawl or harvest data from the Service, except through features we provide for that purpose, such as an AI client you have connected, within the permissions and limits that apply.
• Reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.
• Harass or abuse anyone, impersonate anyone, or enter information about someone you have no right to.
• Try to make the AI features produce harmful content or get around their safeguards.
• Resell the Service or use it to build a competing product.

9. Fees and paid plans

Meal Possible is currently offered free of charge. If we offer paid plans, we will show you the price and billing terms before you buy, and you will not be charged unless you agree.

• Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
• Payments are handled by our payment processor. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for the plan you choose, plus any applicable taxes.
• Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are not refundable.
• We will tell you in advance before a price change applies to your subscription.

10. Privacy

The Service holds personal and health information that you and the people you share with enter. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Communications

You agree that we may communicate with you electronically, and that electronic notices meet any legal requirement for a notice in writing. We send service emails, such as account confirmation, password resets, security notices and changes to these Terms, for as long as you have an account. You can choose which notification emails you receive in your settings.

12. Third-party services

The Service may link to or work with websites, apps and services that we do not control, including AI clients you connect and product or nutrition databases. We are not responsible for them, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

13. Mobile apps and app stores

If you download a Meal Possible mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play (each an “App Store”), the following also applies:

• These Terms are between you and Gather and Learn only, not the App Store operator. We, not the operator, are responsible for the app and its content.
• The App Store operator has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify the App Store operator, which may refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, the operator has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• The App Store operator is not responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection claims, or claims that the app infringes someone’s intellectual property.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• The App Store operator and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

14. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms. If we make a material change, we will tell you by email or in the Service at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless a shorter time is required by law or for security. The date at the top of this page shows when these Terms last changed. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

15. Ending your use of the Service

You can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account, and the information in it, from your account settings in the app, or ask us to by emailing info@mealpossible.com. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if your use puts other people or the Service at risk, or if the law requires it. Where reasonable, we will tell you first.

When your account ends, your right to use the Service ends. We will delete or de-identify your information as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections 4, 6 through 8, and 16 through 21 continue to apply after your account ends, as does any amount you owe us.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. Gather and Learn disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that any content, including recipes, nutrition information, food and allergy checks, meal plans, cycle forecasts and AI output, is accurate, complete or reliable. You use the Service at your own risk.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Gather and Learn, or its owners, officers, employees, contractors or agents, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use or goodwill, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including:

• your use of, or inability to use, the Service;
• any food, recipe, meal plan, diet stage or other decision you make based on the Service;
• any content provided through the Service, including AI output and content from other members or coaches;
• the conduct of any other member, coach or third party, including an AI client you connect; or
• unauthorized access to, or loss of, your information, or any interruption, error or harmful code in the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

These limits apply whatever the legal theory of the claim (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability or otherwise), and even if we were told such damages were possible. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be excluded or liability to be limited, so some of these limits may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

18. Indemnification

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Gather and Learn and its owners, officers, employees, contractors and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:

• your access to or use of the Service;
• Your Content, and any information you enter or share;
• your breach of these Terms; or
• your violation of any law or of anyone else’s rights, including the people in your household and anyone whose information you enter.

We may take over the defense of any claim you must indemnify us for, and you will cooperate with us. You will not settle such a claim without our written consent.

19. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to go to court and to bring or join a class action.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or a small claims case, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party with the dispute sends a written notice to the other (to us at info@mealpossible.com; to you at the email address on your account) with their name, contact details, a description of the dispute and the relief they want. If it is not resolved within 60 days after the notice is received, either party may begin arbitration. Time limits for bringing a claim are paused during those 60 days.

Agreement to arbitrate. You and Gather and Learn agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, and not in court, except that:

• either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, if it qualifies; and
• either party may ask a court for an injunction or other equitable relief to stop the infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

How arbitration works. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available at adr.org, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator decides all issues, including whether a Dispute must be arbitrated, except that a court decides any question about the class action waiver below. Hearings will take place by video or telephone, or in person in the county where you live, and a claim of $10,000 or less may be decided on written submissions alone. Filing, administration and arbitrator fees are paid as set out in the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, which limit what a consumer pays. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class action and jury trial waiver. You and Gather and Learn each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person’s claims or award relief to anyone other than the individual party. You and Gather and Learn each waive the right to a trial by jury.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing info@mealpossible.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your name and the email address on your account. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

If part of this section is unenforceable. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for any claim, that claim must be decided in court and not in arbitration, and the rest of this section still applies to every other claim. If any other part of this section is found unenforceable, the rest of it still applies.

Changes to this section. If we change this section, you may reject the change by emailing us within 30 days after it takes effect. A change never applies to a Dispute that either party already gave notice of.

20. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the agreement to arbitrate. Any Dispute that is not arbitrated, other than a small claims case, must be brought only in the state or federal courts located in the State of Utah, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The Service is operated from the United States.

21. General terms

• These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any terms we show you for a specific feature or paid plan, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
• If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and that part is enforced to the fullest extent allowed.
• Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• You may not transfer these Terms or your account without our written consent. We may transfer them in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or by operation of law.
• We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of internet, cloud or other providers, natural disasters, or acts of government.
• Except for App Store operators as described in Section 13, no one other than you and us has rights under these Terms.
• Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect how these Terms are read.
