Agreeing to these terms
By creating an account or using Bayda, you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge the Privacy Policy, which says what Bayda stores about you and why. If you do not agree, please do not use Bayda.
Who can use Bayda
You must be at least 16 years old. Bayda is not intended for anyone younger and should not be used by them. By using Bayda you confirm that you are 16 or older and that you are allowed to enter into this agreement where you live.
Your account
You sign in with Apple or Google. Bayda has no passwords of its own. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your Apple or Google sign-in safe, and tell us if you think someone else is using it. Give accurate information when Bayda asks for it, and pick a username that does not break the rules below.
You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile, Settings, Data & account, Delete my account. Deleting it erases your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
What you post, and the rules for it
Bayda has a social side. You can post workouts, runs and other activities, photos, comments and profile details such as a username, display name and picture. You choose who can see your activities with Profile, Sharing. Your food diary, weight, body measurements and targets are never shared with anyone.
You own what you post. To run the service, you give Bayda a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to store and display your content to the audience you choose, and to resize or reformat it so it fits on screen. This licence exists only to operate Bayda, and it ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from short delays in backups and in copies already shown to others. You promise that you have the right to post what you post.
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Do not post, send or share:
- anything illegal, or that encourages illegal acts;
- abusive, hateful, threatening or harassing content, including bullying, or content that targets someone because of who they are;
- sexual or pornographic content, or any sexual content involving minors (which we report to the authorities);
- graphic violence, or content that encourages self-harm or dangerous behaviour;
- content that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights, including photos of other people posted without their permission;
- spam, scams, advertising nobody asked for, or repeated unwanted messages and tags;
- impersonation of another person, or a username or picture that misleads others about who you are;
- malicious code, or anything meant to damage or overload Bayda or other people’s devices.
What happens if the rules are broken. We may remove content, hide it, limit what an account can do, suspend the account, or end it, with or without warning when the breach is serious. If we end your account for a breach, you may not create a new one to get around that.
Blocked words. Comments, display names and usernames that contain a word on a blocklist are refused automatically when you try to save them. Nothing is posted and nothing is stored. The check is a floor and not a moderator, so reports and blocking stay.
Reporting and blocking. In the app you can report a post, comment or profile, and you can block any user, which stops them from following you, tagging you, finding you in search and seeing your workouts. Reports are reviewed and acted on. If you see something that breaks these rules, please report it. If you think we got something wrong, write to the contact address and we will look again.
Apple’s licence
The app is licensed to you under Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula). These Terms add to that agreement and do not replace it. If the two disagree about the app itself, Apple’s agreement applies to that point.
Health and nutrition: not medical advice
Bayda is a tracking tool. It is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor, dietitian or qualified trainer. Calorie, macro and nutrition figures, calculated targets and estimates of energy burned are estimates, and so are the figures from the AI food scan, which reads a photo of a meal and guesses what is on the plate and in what amount. They can be wrong, sometimes by a lot. Check them before you rely on them.
Talk to a professional before you change your diet or start or increase exercise, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have had an eating disorder. Stop and seek help if you feel unwell. You use Bayda and its numbers at your own risk.
Photos and the AI food scan
If you use the food scan, your photo is processed as the Privacy Policy describes, and you can turn the feature off in Settings. Do not scan photos of other people.
Third-party data and credits
Some food data and artwork in Bayda come from other sources, with their own licences. They are credited in the in-app food data sources page and in the project’s third-party notices (legal/third-party-notices.md).
Using the service fairly
Please do not:
- scrape, copy or harvest data or accounts from Bayda by automated means;
- reverse engineer, decompile or take apart the app, except as far as the law gives you that right that cannot be waived;
- try to get into accounts or data that are not yours, or test the security of the service without our written permission;
- interfere with the service or with other people’s use of it.
Intellectual property
Bayda, its code, design, name, logo and the content we make belong to David Bayard or to those who license them to us. These terms give you a personal, non-transferable right to use the app on your own devices for as long as you follow these terms. They give you no ownership of the app, and you may not copy or sell it. Your own content stays yours.
Ending your use
You can stop at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop running Bayda. If we stop the service, we will give notice in the app first whenever we can.
Purchases and subscriptions
Bayda does not currently sell anything. If purchases or subscriptions are added later, their price, billing and cancellation terms will be shown to you at the moment of purchase, before you pay, and will apply in addition to these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. A material change will be announced in the app before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page shows the current version. If you keep using Bayda after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms. If you do not, you can delete your account.
No guarantees, and limits on liability
Bayda is provided as it is. We work to keep it running and accurate, but we do not promise that it will always be available, free of mistakes or suited to your needs, and the app is still being built. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of data or for what other users post. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or for intent, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory Belgian and European law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Belgian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts where you live. Otherwise the courts of Belgium have jurisdiction. If a part of these terms turns out not to be enforceable, the rest still applies.
