Terms of Service
Last updated: June 30, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Yacine Elkeikeli, operating under Petala Noar ("Petalanoar," "we," "us," or "our"), the provider of the Vitala mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By downloading, accessing, or using Vitala, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use Vitala. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using Vitala, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.
3. The Service
Vitala is a nutrition and wellness tracking application. Features include, among others:
- Logging meals and tracking calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats, fiber);
- Scanning product barcodes and searching food databases to retrieve nutrition information;
- Creating and saving custom recipes;
- Tracking water intake, intermittent fasting, and medications or supplements;
- Setting daily goals and viewing history, analytics, and reminders;
- Optionally connecting to Apple Health to read activity data such as steps, active calories, heart rate, sleep, and workouts, and to display metrics such as activity rings and energy balance.
We may add, modify, or remove features at any time.
4. Health and Nutrition Disclaimer
Vitala is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. All nutrition values, calorie estimates, goals, activity data, energy-balance figures, and other information are provided for general informational and self-tracking purposes only. They are estimates and may be inaccurate or incomplete.
Vitala is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified physician, dietitian, or other healthcare provider before making decisions about your diet, fasting, supplements, medications, exercise, or health. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read in the app. If you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately.
You use Vitala and rely on its information at your own risk.
5. Accounts and Security
To use Vitala you create an account using an email address (verified by a one-time code), or by signing in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it updated. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
6. Apple Health and Third-Party Data
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Vitala accesses only the data categories you authorize, solely to display and track your health and fitness metrics within the app. You can revoke this access at any time in the iOS Settings app or within Vitala. We do not use Apple Health data for advertising or sell it. Our handling of this data is described in our Privacy Policy.
Nutrition and product information may be sourced from third-party databases (including the USDA FoodData Central and the Open Food Facts community database) and from data you enter yourself. We do not control and cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of third-party data, and you are responsible for verifying any information that matters to your health.
7. Subscriptions, Pro Features, and Payments
Vitala offers a free tier with limited features (for example, a limited number of saved recipes and daily barcode scans) and an optional Vitala Pro subscription that unlocks additional features such as customizable goals, unlimited recipes and scans, and advanced analytics.
Vitala Pro is offered as auto-renewing subscriptions (such as monthly and annual plans) and may also be offered as a one-time, non-renewing lifetime purchase. Purchases are processed by Apple through your Apple ID, and the following terms apply to auto-renewing subscriptions:
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
- Your subscription automatically renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID Account Settings in the App Store after purchase. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- If you are offered a free trial, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Prices are shown in the app before purchase and may vary by region and change over time.
- You can restore an active purchase on a new device using "Restore Purchases" in the app's Settings.
All purchases are final except where required by law or by Apple's policies. Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; we generally cannot issue refunds directly.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, copy, modify, or create derivative works of the app, except as permitted by law;
- Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our servers, or other users' accounts;
- Use automated means to access or scrape the Service, or attempt to circumvent usage limits or paid features;
- Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, harmful, or that you do not have the right to submit;
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.
9. Your Content
You retain ownership of the content you create in Vitala (such as meal logs, recipes, notes, weight, and other entries) ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you (for example, syncing it across your devices). You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the rights to submit it.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the "Vitala" name, is owned by Petalanoar and protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the app for your own non-commercial use. No other rights are granted.
11. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers, including Apple (App Store, Apple Health, Sign in with Apple), Google (sign-in), and our infrastructure and data providers. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any data, calculation, or estimate is accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PETALANOAR AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR HEALTH OUTCOMES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Petalanoar and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
15. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4, 9–14) will survive.
16. Changes to the Service and Terms
We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app or by other means. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
17. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in Istanbul, Türkiye, except where applicable consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory rights you may have.
18. Apple App Store Terms
These Terms are between you and Petalanoar, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must also comply with the App Store Terms of Service and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
