Terms of use

These terms are the agreement between you and the maker of Hourgrain. They are written to be read. By creating an account, you agree to them and to the privacy policy.

Who you're dealing with

Hourgrain is provided by Oshan Mudannayake, based in Sri Lanka, who trades as Latenari. Latenari is a trading name, not a registered company. "We" in these terms means him. Contact: [email protected].

Hourgrain is in beta

Hourgrain is still being built, so features may change and some things will have rough edges. Existing beta access stays free; an optional subscription does not automatically change that access. Before changing existing beta access, we will explain the change in the app or by email at least 14 days before it applies. No subscription or charge starts without your separate purchase confirmation. You can export your data at any time.

Who can use it

You need to be 18 or older. Hourgrain is not designed for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have or are recovering from an eating disorder, or have a condition such as diabetes or kidney disease, without the advice of a clinician.

Not medical advice

Hourgrain estimates your energy expenditure and suggests calorie and macro targets from what you log and how your weight changes. These are estimates for general fitness and nutrition. They are not medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment, and they can be wrong. Food values come from our own database, from Open Food Facts and from what users enter, and may not match what you actually ate. Talk to a qualified professional before making big changes to your diet, and stop and seek help if tracking food starts to feel harmful.

Your account

Keep access to your email address secure, because sign-in codes are sent there. You're responsible for what happens in your account, including through access tokens you create for scripts or assistants. Tell us at once if you think someone else is using it.

What you put in

What you log is yours. You give us permission to store, copy and process it only as needed to run Hourgrain for you, as the privacy policy describes. If you share a food with your household, its members can see and use it. If you mark a food as public, other Hourgrain users can find and log it, with the name on your profile beside it, and you let them do so.

Fair use

Please don't break the law with Hourgrain, try to get into other people's accounts or our systems, overload or disrupt the service, scrape it, or share foods that are offensive or deliberately wrong. We may suspend or close an account that does, and we'll tell you why unless the law prevents it.

Food data

Some product data comes from Open Food Facts, available under the Open Database License. Hourgrain's own food database, the app and this website belong to us; you may use them through Hourgrain, but not copy them wholesale.

Paid plans

Where subscriptions are available, optional Premium costs US$9.99 per month or US$49.99 per year. Household Premium costs US$79.99 per year for up to four people in one Hourgrain household. Annual plans are billed as one yearly payment. Web prices are in US dollars, with applicable tax shown by Paddle before you confirm. The App Store or Google Play shows its local price and applicable taxes before confirmation. Premium includes adaptive expenditure, coached programs with weekly check-ins, AI-assisted food logging and assistant access. Manual food logging, barcode scanning, recipes, your recorded data and exports remain available on Free. Existing beta access continues as described above.

Eligible accounts that have never had Premium can separately start a seven-day Premium trial. It takes no payment method and ends without a charge or automatic renewal. Continuing with a paid subscription requires a separate purchase.

Web subscriptions are sold by Paddle, our merchant of record. Payment is due when you confirm the purchase, and the subscription renews automatically at the selected monthly or yearly price plus applicable tax until canceled. Manage or cancel it from Membership in the web app using the Paddle customer portal. Ordinary cancellation stops the next renewal and retains access through the paid period. Request a web refund using the support link in your Paddle receipt or [email protected]; applicable consumer rights are preserved. Deleting your Hourgrain account instead cancels its recurring web subscription immediately, ending access; it does not automatically request a refund. If Paddle cannot confirm cancellation, account deletion waits for retry.

App Store subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. They renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Google Play subscriptions are charged to your Google Account when you confirm your purchase and renew automatically unless canceled before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Google Play subscription settings.

Canceling stops the next renewal; paid access remains until the paid period ends. Restore purchases from Membership in the app. Refund requests follow the store's process and applicable consumer law. Deleting your Hourgrain account does not cancel a store subscription; cancel it with the store separately. Your diary and health records are not sent to the store for billing.

Ending

You can stop using Hourgrain and delete your account at any time, in Settings. We may stop offering Hourgrain; if we do, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice, so you can export your data.

Our responsibility

We provide Hourgrain with care, but as it is and as available, without promises that it will always work or be free of errors. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you've paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you've paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, or takes away rights you have as a consumer where you live.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka. If you live elsewhere, you keep the protection of the consumer laws of your own country, and you can bring a claim there.

Changes

We may update these terms as Hourgrain grows. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before it applies. If you don't agree, you can delete your account before then.
