Terms of Use

Last updated: October 20, 2026 · Version 0.2 (draft)

Draft, not legal advice. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer, which should happen before launch, especially the health disclaimer, liability limits, governing law and subscription terms.

1. Agreement

These terms govern your use of the Joul app and website (the “Service”), operated by Julian Stastny, an individual (“Joul”, “we”). By using the Service you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use it. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.

2. Who can use Joul

You must be at least 16 years old and able to enter a binding agreement. Joul needs a WHOOP membership to work as intended. Use of Joul does not give you any rights in your WHOOP account.

3. Joul is not medical advice

Joul is a tracking tool. Calorie burn comes from WHOOP's estimates, and food calories, portions and macros are estimates too, including anything produced by AI photo analysis. Energy balance is not a guarantee of weight change. Joul does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and does not give personalised dietary advice. Targets we suggest are generic starting points. Talk to a qualified professional before changing your diet or exercise, especially if you are pregnant, are under 18, have a medical condition, or have a history of disordered eating. If tracking affects your wellbeing, stop using it and seek support.

4. Your account and data

You're responsible for the information you enter and for keeping your device secure. You can disconnect WHOOP and delete your data in the app at any time.

5. Subscriptions

6. Using Joul fairly

Don't misuse the Service: no unlawful use, no attempts to break, scrape or overload it, no reverse engineering except where the law allows, no using it to harm others, and no uploading images you have no right to use or that are unlawful.

7. AI features

AI results can be incomplete or wrong, especially for hidden ingredients, oils, sauces and portion sizes. You must review them before saving. We aren't responsible for decisions you make based on estimates.

8. Third parties

Joul works with WHOOP data that you choose to share. Joul is independent and is not endorsed by or affiliated with WHOOP. WHOOP's terms govern your use of WHOOP. Apple's terms apply to the App Store and purchases. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app, in addition to these terms.

9. Intellectual property

Joul, its design, code and branding belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app. Your food entries and photos remain yours, and you give us only the limited permission needed to run the Service for you, including sending photos for analysis when you ask.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent the law allows, including accuracy, availability and fitness for a particular purpose. We don't promise uninterrupted service or that WHOOP data will always be available. Consumer rights that the law where you live doesn't allow us to limit are not affected.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose, or $50 if you paid nothing. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

12. Ending use

You can stop using Joul at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms or to protect the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive will survive.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is material we'll tell you in the app before it applies. Continuing to use Joul after that means you accept the new terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Mexico, and disputes go to the courts of Mexico City, Mexico, subject to any mandatory consumer rights where you live.
