terms.
Effective date
Effective: 2026-06-15
1. Acceptance and eligibility
These Terms of Service are a binding agreement between you and Individual Entrepreneur Mikhail Dmitrievich Goroshkov, the operator of Sate ("Sate", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using Sate, you agree to these Terms. You must be at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use Sate only with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.
2. Your account
You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for any activity under your account. You must provide accurate information when registering and keep it up to date. Notify us at support@sate.fit if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
3. License to use Sate
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Sate for your own non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
4. Acceptable use
You agree that you will not: - reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source of the Sate app or API, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law; - abuse rate limits, probe, or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the service; - submit illegal, harmful, or infringing content; - impersonate other people or entities, or misrepresent your affiliation; - use Sate for medical diagnosis or treatment, or as a substitute for professional medical advice; or - use Sate in violation of any applicable law.
5. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you create in Sate — your meals, foods, recipes, photos, notes, measurements, and logs ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, back up, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the features you use — including sending meal photos and descriptions to our AI sub-processor when you trigger those features, and syncing Your Content across your devices. We do not claim ownership of Your Content and do not use it to train third-party advertising models. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, subject to routine backup purge cycles described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to submit it.
6. Health and medical disclaimer
Sate is a wellness, fitness, and nutrition tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All information presented in Sate — including computed nutrition, calorie and macro targets, scores, recovery and readiness estimates, AI-generated estimates, and suggestions — is provided for general informational and self-tracking purposes only, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and must not be relied upon as medical or professional advice. Sate is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting or changing any diet, nutrition plan, supplement, fasting protocol, exercise, or training program — and especially if you have or suspect a medical condition, take medication, are under 18, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a history of disordered eating. If you have or are at risk of an eating disorder, calorie, macro, weight, and streak-tracking features may not be appropriate for you. Sate provides optional safeguards (Settings → Safeguards) — including hiding numbers, soft language, and disabling rewards for restrictive eating — and links to support resources such as the NEDA helpline. If you experience adverse physical or psychological effects, stop using the relevant feature and seek professional help. In a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
7. Assumption of risk
Physical exercise, dietary changes, fasting, and supplementation carry inherent risks, including injury, illness, or aggravation of existing conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with your use of Sate and with any decision you make based on information in Sate. You are solely responsible for your own health, fitness, and dietary decisions.
8. AI features disclaimer
Sate's nutrition AI produces probabilistic estimates and can be wrong — it may misidentify foods, misjudge portions, or miscalculate nutrients and allergens. Always review and correct AI output before relying on it, and never rely on it for medical, allergen, or dietary-restriction decisions. AI features depend on third-party providers and may be unavailable, changed, or discontinued.
9. Subscriptions and fees
Sate Membership is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the app after a free trial. Subscriptions are sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system, billed to your Apple ID, and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends. Current pricing and trial length are shown in the app and in the App Store before you subscribe; we may change prices prospectively with notice. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. These purchases are also governed by Apple's standard subscription terms in addition to these Terms.
10. Intellectual property
Sate, including the app, the website, their content, design, and the Sate name and logos, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the license in Section 3 and your rights in Your Content, nothing in these Terms grants you any right in our intellectual property.
11. Termination
You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Delete Account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, that create risk to other users or to the service, or as required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Your Content license to the extent needed to complete deletion, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — survive.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
Sate is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that Sate will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any estimate or result is accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sate and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of Sate. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Sate is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 50; during the beta period the amount paid may be USD 0. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any mandatory liability to consumers.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sate and its operator from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your misuse of Sate, Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. This Section does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own breach, negligence, or unlawful conduct, and does not limit your mandatory rights as a consumer.
15. Dispute resolution
Most concerns can be resolved quickly: before filing any formal claim, contact us at support@sate.fit and give us 30 days to resolve it informally. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, it will be handled under the governing law and venue in Section 16. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory provisions of your local law. For users in the United States, any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis as described in Section 17.
16. Governing law
Except where mandatory local law provides otherwise, these Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. This choice of law does not deprive you, as a consumer, of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence. Users of the separate Russia build are governed by the separate Russian-law terms published with that build.
17. Individual disputes; class-action waiver (United States)
If you are in the United States, to the extent permitted by law, you and Sate agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis and that neither party will bring or participate in any class, collective, or representative action. This Section does not apply where it is prohibited by law and does not apply to consumers in jurisdictions (such as the EEA and the UK) where such waivers are not enforceable.
18. Export controls and sanctions
You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargo, and that you are not on any government restricted-party or sanctions list. You agree not to use Sate in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws, and we may restrict access where required to comply with those laws.
19. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. We post the current effective date and will communicate material changes in-app and on this page. Continued use of Sate after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms where permitted by law; if you do not agree, stop using Sate and delete your account.
20. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any in-app purchase terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Sate and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor or affiliate. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These Terms are drafted in English, which controls for the worldwide service.
