The terms for using Emenla.

1. Acceptance

Emenla is an iPhone app and a website operated by [operator name] ("we", "us"). By installing or using the app, or by using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them.

2. Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Emenla on Apple devices you own or control, under the App Store terms that also apply. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer or decompile the app, except where the law says you can regardless of what we write here.

3. Not a medical device, not medical advice

Emenla is a note-taking and record-keeping tool. Emenla is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Nothing in the app, in the summary it produces, or on this website is a substitute for a consultation with a qualified clinician.

The app matches words you write to clinical terms drawn from published guidelines, and shows you where each term comes from. That matching is a lookup, not an assessment of you. It can be wrong. Always check it with a clinician. The app never tells you whether you have any condition and never forecasts anything about your body.

The summary document is a record of what you wrote, arranged for a conversation. It is not a medical record, a referral, or a clinical opinion. What a clinician does with it is their professional decision.

If you are in pain that frightens you, or you think you need urgent care, contact emergency services or a clinician. Do not rely on an app.

4. Acceptable use

Use Emenla for keeping your own records. Do not use it to store records about another person without their agreement, do not attempt to interfere with how the app works, and do not use the website in a way that breaks the law or harms other people. We do not moderate content because we cannot see it; what you write is yours and stays with you.

5. Intellectual property

The app, its design, its code and the text on this website belong to us or our licensors. The clinical terms and their definitions come from public guidelines published by their respective bodies, which we cite. Your entries, notes, photos and summaries are yours. We claim no rights in them, and since they never reach us we could not exercise any.

6. Purchases, subscriptions and refunds

Logging is free, always. It cannot be put behind a paywall because there is no account or server to lock.

The doctor-summary export is an optional subscription: $34.99 a year or $6.99 a month, in one tier, shown in your local currency on the App Store. It is not available yet. When it is, it is sold through Apple's in-app purchase. Apple handles payment, renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings before the renewal date.

Refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds ourselves because we cannot see who has purchased what.

Purchase status is handled through RevenueCat, which receives an anonymous purchase identity and nothing else. See the privacy policy.

7. Your data

Everything you write stays on your device. There is no backup on our side. You are responsible for exporting your entries before you change or reset your phone. If you delete the app, its data is deleted with it and we cannot recover it. The privacy policy says the rest.

8. No warranty

Emenla is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not promise that the app will be error-free, that the clinical term shown for your words will be the right one, or that a clinician will read or act on your summary. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of Emenla, including loss of data you did not export. Our total liability to you for any claim related to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim, which for logging is nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. If we do, the date at the top of this page changes and material changes are noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use Emenla after a change means you accept the new terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [governing law]. If you are a consumer, you also keep any protections you have under the law of the country where you live.
