Sproutsy — Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Sproutsy (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the App. If you are under 18, you may only use the App with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

2. Description of Service

Sproutsy is a baby growth tracking application that helps parents and caregivers record and visualise their child’s growth measurements, feeding patterns, solid food introduction, and developmental milestones.

The App uses a local-first architecture. Your data is stored on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework, with optional sync across devices via Apple iCloud (CloudKit).

3. Account & Data Responsibility

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter into the App. You represent that you have legal authority (as a parent, guardian, or authorised caregiver) over any child whose information you enter into the App.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and iCloud account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account or device.

4. Subscription & Payment

Sproutsy offers both free and premium tiers:

• Free tier — 1 baby, basic tracking features
• Premium (Monthly) — $4.99/month, unlimited babies, full feature access
• Premium (Yearly) — $39.99/year, unlimited babies, full feature access

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings.

Prices are in USD and may vary by region based on App Store pricing.

5. Trial Terms

Sproutsy offers a usage-based trial of 7 entry days. A “day” counts as any calendar day on which you log at least one entry. Trial days do not need to be consecutive and do not expire by time.

During the trial, you have access to all premium features for 1 baby. After 7 entry days, new entries require a premium subscription. All historical data remains visible in read-only mode.

6. Medical Disclaimer

Sproutsy is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

Sproutsy is designed to help parents track their baby’s growth, feeding, and food introduction. All data, charts, and suggestions provided by this app are for informational and personal record-keeping purposes only.

The information in this app is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your pediatrician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your child’s health or development.

Growth charts in this app use World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards for reference. These standards represent how children should grow under optimal conditions. Individual babies may vary, and percentile position alone does not indicate a health concern. Your pediatrician can interpret growth patterns in the context of your baby’s overall health.

Food tracking features are intended to help you record what your baby has tried and their reactions. They do not constitute dietary advice. Consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your baby has known allergies or medical conditions.

If you believe your child is experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately. Do not rely on this app for emergency medical guidance.

7. Health Data Sensitivity

By using Sproutsy, you consent to the processing of sensitive health data relating to your child, including growth measurements, feeding records, food reactions (including allergy information), and developmental milestones. This data is processed solely for the purpose of providing the App’s tracking and visualisation features.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, graphics, and content, is owned by Oemi Labs Limited and protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the App.

The App incorporates WHO Child Growth Standards and CDC developmental milestone data, used in accordance with their respective terms. You retain ownership of all data you enter into the App.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose

• Interfere with or disrupt the App’s functionality

10. Data Export

You may export your data at any time using the App’s built-in export features (CSV, PDF, and ZIP formats). Data export is available to all users at no additional cost.

11. Limitation of Liability

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oemi Labs Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App.

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) NZ$50.

12. Warranty Disclaimer

We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. We do not guarantee the accuracy of percentile calculations, the completeness of the food database, or the reliability of allergy tracking features.

The App is a record-keeping tool and should not be relied upon as the sole source of information about your child’s health or development.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Oemi Labs Limited, its directors, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

• Binding arbitration — if informal resolution fails, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1996 (New Zealand), conducted in Auckland, New Zealand.
• Class action waiver — you agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis and waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration.

EU/UK consumer rights: If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights, including your right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases, but the following sections survive: Limitation of Liability, Warranty Disclaimer, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution.
