Effective Date: 4/27/2026 · Last Updated: 4/27/2026

Welcome to Pl3nish! We built this app because we believe everyone deserves to understand exactly what they are eating — not just calories, but the full nutritional picture. We hope it helps you eat with more confidence and intention.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Pl3nish mobile application, website, and any related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by WCC Systems LLC ("Pl3nish," "we," "our," or "us"), a Colorado limited liability company. By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or clicking "I Agree," you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Pl3nish Terms"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

THESE TERMS INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 13. THIS PROVISION SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR DISPUTES. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 13 CAREFULLY.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to enter into this agreement. These Terms were written in English. In the event of any conflict between a translated version and the English version, the English version controls.

5. Health, Safety, and Medical Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: THE SERVICES ARE NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. NOTHING IN THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING DIETARY OR HEALTH DECISIONS.

5.1 Not Medical Advice

The Services, including all nutritional information, polyphenol data, ingredient information, and any recommendations, are provided for general informational purposes only. Pl3nish is not a medical organisation and does not provide medical advice. Nothing in the Services should be construed as medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

Use of the Services does not create a doctor-patient relationship. If you have questions about your health, a medical condition, or how dietary changes may affect you, consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using the Services or making any dietary changes.

5.2 Nutritional Data Accuracy

Nutritional values provided through the Services are estimates calculated from USDA FoodData Central standard ingredient data. Actual nutritional content varies based on specific ingredient brands, preparation methods, cooking techniques, and portion sizes. Pl3nish clearly labels all nutritional information as "Estimated Nutrition Only" and does not represent it as precise or clinically accurate. You should not rely on our nutritional estimates for medical, clinical, or therapeutic purposes.

5.3 Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

While Pl3nish strives to provide accurate ingredient information and supports dietary restriction filtering, we cannot guarantee that our ingredient data is complete or error-free with respect to allergens. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL INGREDIENTS AND POTENTIAL ALLERGENS BEFORE PREPARING OR CONSUMING ANY FOOD. Pl3nish expressly disclaims all responsibility for allergic reactions, adverse events, or harm arising from reliance on ingredient information in the Services.

Any fitness or exercise-related content available through the Services is for general informational purposes only. Exercise and physical activity carry inherent risks. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with any physical activity undertaken in connection with your use of the Services.

5.5 Healthy Eating

Pl3nish supports healthy, sustainable relationships with food. We do not promote or condone dangerously low levels of caloric intake, restrictive eating disorders, or any other harmful dietary behaviour. If you are concerned that your relationship with food or your body may not be healthy, please seek support from a qualified professional.

6. Third-Party Services and Content

The Services may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, applications, or services ("Third Party Services"), including the original sources of recipe content. These Third Party Services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not ours. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of Third Party Services, and your access to them is at your own risk.

6.1 App Stores

Our app is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play ("App Providers"). These Terms are an agreement between you and Pl3nish, not with the App Providers. The App Providers are not responsible for the Services and have no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or warranty coverage. Your use of the app must comply with any applicable App Provider terms.

6.2 Third-Party Integrations

We may offer optional integrations with third-party health platforms or services (such as Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect). These integrations are subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for any third-party platform’s actions, data practices, or service interruptions.

13.4 Binding Arbitration

You and Pl3nish agree that any dispute arising from or related to these Terms, the Services, or our relationship that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator has authority to grant any remedy that would be available in court, subject to these Terms. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (a) seek emergency injunctive or other provisional relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm; (b) bring an individual claim in small claims court where eligible; or (c) seek relief in court for disputes involving Pl3nish’s intellectual property rights.

13.5 Time Limit

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or dispute arising from or related to the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or it is permanently barred.

13.7 Severability

If any part of this Section 13 is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, except that if the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement in this Section shall be null and void and the dispute shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Denver, Colorado.

14. International Users

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pl3nish with respect to the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. A court shall endeavour to give effect to the parties’ original intent as reflected in the severed provision.

15.3 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing signed by an authorised representative of Pl3nish.

15.4 Assignment

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer your account or rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms at any time without notice to you, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
