Agreement for one product. These Terms apply only to PlateGuard (com.ryantinklepaugh.plateguard). Acceptance is recorded against this document’s exact version and SHA-256 hash, the separate product Privacy Policy, and the separate Product Schedule.
Product-specific schedule incorporated into these Terms
Product-specific document. This schedule applies only to PlateGuard (com.ryantinklepaugh.plateguard). It supplements the separate PlateGuard Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, each with its own immutable version and SHA-256 hash.
Product purpose
PlateGuard reads a food ingredient label on the device and checks the recognized text against user-selected dietary-preference and intolerance rules, showing the ingredient-level basis for a red, amber, or green result.
Not for life-threatening allergies
PlateGuard is for dietary preferences and intolerances. It is not a medical device and must not be relied on to prevent an allergic reaction or to decide that a food is safe for a person with a life-threatening or anaphylactic allergy. Always read the package and follow advice from a qualified clinician.
Recognition and label limits
OCR can misread small, curved, damaged, reflective, incomplete, or poorly lit packaging. Manufacturers can reformulate products, and cross-contact or manufacturing conditions may not appear in an ingredient list. Green means only that the captured list was anchored, every parsed token was recognized, and no selected rule matched under the current database.
Rule and database limits
Ingredient names, E-numbers, synonyms, umbrella terms, FODMAP, histamine, oil, sugar, and allergen classifications can be incomplete, context-dependent, or deliberately conservative. An amber or red result is a prompt to review the actual label and reliable sources, not a diagnosis.
Free access and PlateGuard Pro
The verdict engine is the same in Free and Pro. Pro adds the scan volume, history, profiles, custom terms, and E-number tools shown in the app. Apple's purchase sheet controls current price, trial eligibility, duration, and renewal terms.
Limited mode
After a decline or withdrawal, the user can review or delete available profiles and saved scans, read legal and support information, and manage or restore an Apple purchase. New scans, profiles, rules, purchases, and Pro actions can remain unavailable until the current documents are accepted.
Current product data boundary
The following categories and operational boundaries are specific to PlateGuard and form part of this schedule.
- Transient camera frames or a user-selected label image used for on-device text recognition
- Recognized ingredient text, parse state, ingredient evaluations, verdict, and optional saved raw label text
- Diet profiles, selected rule categories, and custom avoid terms
- Private CloudKit identifiers and synchronization state
- Anonymous App Store purchase and RevenueCat offering, transaction, purchase, and entitlement metadata
- Privacy-minimal legal-choice evidence
Camera, photos, and on-device recognition
PlateGuard uses a live camera capture or a user-selected image to recognize an ingredient list with Apple Vision on the device. The image is not saved as a PlateGuard record or uploaded to Uncommon Weather, RevenueCat, an advertising service, or an artificial-intelligence API.
The recognized text is passed through the deterministic bundled rule engine. If the user saves a result, the verdict and ingredient evaluation are stored; raw recognized text is retained only when the user enables that preference.
Optional on-device ingredient annotation
On supported devices, Apple's on-device model can annotate unknown or ambiguous ingredient tokens. It cannot upgrade or change the deterministic verdict and its suggestion is labeled for verification. PlateGuard does not send the prompt or result to a developer-operated model service.
Profiles, history, and private iCloud
Profiles, custom rules, and saved scans remain local and can synchronize through the user's private CloudKit database. Apple processes that content under the user's iCloud account. Uncommon Weather does not receive it merely because synchronization is enabled and cannot restore it for the user.
Purchases and legal choices
Apple processes payments. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user identifier and limited app, device, offering, transaction, purchase, and entitlement metadata needed to present products, restore purchases, provide aggregate subscription analytics, and determine Pro access. PlateGuard does not send camera frames, OCR text, ingredient results, profiles, or custom rules to RevenueCat.
The separate legal-choice service receives only signed, privacy-minimal evidence of an acceptance, decline, or withdrawal and no PlateGuard product content.
Retention and deletion
Records remain locally and in private CloudKit until deleted with available controls, Delete All App Data, app removal, or Apple storage changes. Product deletion does not erase Apple or RevenueCat purchase records, provider security records, or privacy-minimal legal-choice evidence.
Legal choices and verification
A decline or withdrawal takes effect locally at once and remains limited without a recurring prompt. A user can review the current documents and affirmatively accept from Legal & Privacy settings. A current affirmative acceptance takes effect after it is durably saved on the device and unlocks main-app access while signed-receipt delivery retries in the background. A non-terminal network, Apple, or service outage does not lock the main app or create another prompt. Widgets, Live Activities, and other extension surfaces that require a verifiable cross-process receipt may wait until the server-signed receipt is received and verified. If the server explicitly rejects the exact saved acceptance as terminal, the client quarantines that failed record and returns to the appropriate decision or limited-state screen. A current choice is not repeatedly requested.

General contractual provisions
1. Operator and documents
These PlateGuard Terms of Service (“Terms”) are between you and UNCOMMON WEATHER LLC, with a notice address at 1212 N Walker Ave Apt 207, Oklahoma City, OK 73103, United States (“Uncommon Weather,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Contact team@uncommonweather.com for support, legal notices, and privacy requests.
These Terms incorporate the PlateGuard Privacy Policy, the separately hashed PlateGuard Product Schedule, and mandatory Apple platform rules. Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies unless Apple or the App Store listing identifies a valid custom EULA. If documents conflict, mandatory law controls, then Apple terms where they must control, then the Product Schedule for product-specific matters, then these Terms.
2. Adult eligibility and agreement
You must be at least 18 and accept these Terms for yourself. PlateGuard is not offered for use by a minor, and a parent or guardian cannot accept on a minor’s behalf. No birth date is collected; the acceptance flow records only a broad adult age band and acceptor role.
Clicking “Agree & Continue” after checking the agreement control creates an affirmative acceptance tied to the displayed document versions and hashes. Declining leaves legal, support, export or deletion, and Apple purchase-management or restoration controls available as described in the Product Schedule, but disables ordinary product operation.
3. Limited license and acceptable use
Subject to these Terms and any required payment, Uncommon Weather grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use PlateGuard through an Apple-authorized distribution channel. You may not resell, sublicense, bypass licensing, reverse engineer except where law permits, introduce malicious code, interfere with services, violate Apple platform rules, infringe another person’s rights, or use the app to break the law.
4. Ownership, content, and feedback
Uncommon Weather and its licensors retain rights in PlateGuard, its brand, design, code, documentation, and services. You retain your rights in content and records you create or capture and are responsible for having permission to use or share them. Feedback may be used without restriction or compensation.
5. Apple purchases, renewals, and refunds
PlateGuard Pro may be offered as monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple. Apple controls displayed price, trial eligibility, renewal terms, billing, cancellation, and refunds. RevenueCat supplies anonymous offering, purchase, and entitlement state but does not process payment.
An auto-renewable subscription continues until cancelled through the Apple ID subscription controls. Cancellation normally stops future renewal after the current paid period and does not automatically refund an earlier charge. Request an eligible refund through Apple. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply, and a full refund may revoke the associated paid entitlement.
6. Product data, exports, and backups
PlateGuard stores diet profiles, selected rules, custom terms, saved scan summaries, optional raw label text, and preferences with SwiftData and can synchronize those records through the user's private CloudKit database. Camera images are used transiently for on-device text recognition and are not stored as product records. PlateGuard has no account or developer-operated product-data server. Private CloudKit synchronization is not a guaranteed backup.
7. Apple and other service providers
PlateGuard may rely on Apple, iOS, Vision and optional on-device Apple intelligence, the App Store, StoreKit, private CloudKit, RevenueCat for anonymous purchase and entitlement state, and Supabase only for the separate privacy-minimal legal-choice service.
8. Updates, availability, and termination
We may update PlateGuard for security, law, policy, compatibility, reliability, or product reasons. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or permanent availability. We may suspend network services for abuse, security risk, legal requirements, or material breach. You may stop using the app at any time.
Declining materially updated terms places the app in limited mode rather than deleting prior acceptance or local data. Ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and disputes survive termination where applicable.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLATEGUARD AND ITS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” UNCOMMON WEATHER DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. Product-specific limitations appear in the Product Schedule.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNCOMMON WEATHER AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, CONTRACTORS, TRANSFERORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; OR SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO PLATEGUARD OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO PLATEGUARD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US $100. These limits do not apply where prohibited, including non-waivable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or certain personal injury and consumer rights.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Uncommon Weather from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from unlawful use, content you had no right to use or share, infringement, intentional misuse, or material breach. This does not apply to claims caused by Uncommon Weather’s own conduct and remains subject to mandatory consumer-law limits.
12. Governing law and disputes
Before filing a claim, send a written description and requested resolution to the notice address or email and allow 30 days for informal resolution unless urgent relief or mandatory law makes that impractical. Oklahoma law governs without regard to conflicts rules. Subject to mandatory consumer venue rights, state and federal courts serving Oklahoma County, Oklahoma have exclusive jurisdiction.
These Terms do not require arbitration and do not contain a class-action waiver. Nothing limits eligible small-claims proceedings or non-waivable rights.
13. Changes and document evidence
Material changes receive a new version and require a new affirmative acceptance before ordinary use. Immutable archived copies and SHA-256 hashes identify what was presented. Continued use alone does not silently create acceptance of a materially changed document.
14. Assignment, severability, and notices
You may not assign this agreement without consent. We may assign it with the app, business, merger, reorganization, or asset sale subject to applicable law and required notice or consent. If a provision is unenforceable it will be limited to the minimum necessary and the remainder continues. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control.
