Terms of Service — Lean
Last Updated: 18 September 2026
Effective Date: 18 September 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Lean mobile application (“App”), including the Apple Watch companion where available, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Vargas Studio Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
2. Description of Service
Lean is a local-first daily intake tracker focused on:
- Protein (grams)
- Fibre / fiber (grams)
- Water (millilitres / litres display)
Features may include quick logging, daily targets, history and insights, Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets, Siri / Shortcuts, optional reminders, and an Apple Watch app with complications.
Lean does not require an account or sign-in. Data is stored on your device (and App Group / Watch sync as applicable). We do not operate Lean as a food diary, calorie database, or clinical tool.
The App is available for Apple platforms we support and may be updated over time.
3. Use of the App
3.1 No account required
- You do not need to create an account or sign in
- Your use is tied to your device(s); we do not know your identity from normal App use
3.2 Local data
- Intake logs, targets, and preferences are stored on your device
- If you uninstall the App, that data may be lost
- We do not sync intake history to Vargas Studio servers in the current product
3.3 Your responsibility
- You are responsible for the accuracy of amounts you log and for keeping your device secure
- You must use the App only for lawful purposes
4. Paid Features and App Store Purchases
4.1 Current status
Paid features (for example a Lean Pro unlock that may include Apple Watch access or other conveniences) may be offered later. Until a paid product is live in the App Store, this section applies prospectively.
4.2 When paid features ship
- Purchases and subscriptions (if any) are processed by Apple via the App Store / StoreKit
- We do not receive your full payment card details
- Prices are shown in your local currency at the time of purchase
- For auto-renewing subscriptions (if offered): they renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
- Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies
Family Sharing may be enabled for eligible products if we turn it on in App Store Connect; that shares the purchase entitlement, not a shared household log.
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Ownership
The App, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, is owned by Vargas Studio Ltd or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.
5.2 Licence to you
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the App Store terms.
5.3 Restrictions
You may not:
- Copy, redistribute, or resell the App except as allowed by Apple
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except where mandatory law allows
- Remove proprietary notices
- Use the App to build a competing service by scraping or systematic misuse
6. Health and Nutrition Disclaimer
IMPORTANT: Lean helps you log amounts you choose. It is not medical advice, nutritional counselling, diagnosis, or treatment.
You should:
- Consult a qualified professional for diet or health decisions
- Not rely on Lean as a clinical tool
- Use the App at your own risk
We are not responsible for health outcomes based on targets or amounts you enter.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM USE OF THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR ZERO IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vargas Studio Ltd and its officers, directors, and agents from claims and expenses arising from your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
10. Suspension
We may suspend or discontinue the App or features, or restrict access if you misuse the App or violate these Terms. Uninstalling the App stops local use on that device.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last Updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the App.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
13. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement regarding use of the App and supersede prior agreements on that subject.
14. Language
These Terms are provided in English. If we later publish other languages, the English version prevails in case of conflict unless mandatory local law requires otherwise.
