Calimento – Terms of Use | Lively Graphics, LLC
Calimento
Terms of Use
Effective Date: July 1, 2025  |  Published by Lively Graphics, LLC
Please read these Terms carefully before downloading or using Calimento. By accessing or using the App, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download or use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Lively Graphics, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Calimento mobile application, including all related features, content, and services (collectively, the "App").

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, which is available within the App and on our website. Your continued use of the App following any modification to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those modifications.

The App is distributed through Apple's App Store. You acknowledge that these Terms are entered into solely between you and Lively Graphics, LLC, and not with Apple, Inc. Apple is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the App or its content.

2. Eligibility

The App is intended for users who are at least thirteen (13) years of age. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete that information promptly.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features of the App, you may be required to create a user account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account information.

4. Auto-Renewing Subscription Terms

Required Disclosure — Apple App Store Guideline 3.1.2

4.1 Subscription Plans and Pricing

After your initial 30-day no-cost access period (described in Section 4.5), continued access to Calimento's premium features requires an active paid subscription. The current subscription pricing is $3.99 per month, billed monthly through Apple In-App Purchase. Specific subscription tiers, features, and any future pricing changes are described within the App and are subject to change in accordance with Section 4.6.

4.2 Billing and Payment

Payment Authorization: Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the time of purchase confirmation. By initiating a purchase, you authorize Apple to charge the applicable subscription fee to the payment method associated with your Apple ID.

4.3 Automatic Renewal

IMPORTANT: Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each subscription period on a monthly basis at the then-current subscription price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Renewal charges will be applied to your Apple ID account within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

4.4 Managing and Canceling Your Subscription

You may manage and cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple Account Settings:

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
  3. Select Calimento and tap Cancel Subscription.

You may also manage your subscriptions by visiting your Apple ID account page at appleid.apple.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access to premium features until that date. We do not issue refunds for partial subscription periods.

4.5 30-Day No-Cost Access Period

New Calimento users receive 30 days of full App access at no charge (the "No-Cost Period"), beginning on the date of account creation. This allows you to explore all premium features before a subscription charge is applied.

Important — Apple Terminology: The No-Cost Period is a developer-managed access period tracked in Calimento's backend systems. It is not an Apple-managed Introductory Offer administered through Apple's StoreKit framework. Accordingly, the No-Cost Period will be described in the App and in App Store marketing materials as "30 days free, then $3.99/month" rather than as a "free trial," which Apple reserves for its own Introductory Offer mechanism.

Conversion to paid subscription: At the end of the No-Cost Period, if you have not canceled your account, you will be prompted within the App to subscribe at $3.99/month via Apple In-App Purchase. Subscription charges will not be applied automatically at the end of the No-Cost Period without your affirmative subscription action — you must actively initiate the paid subscription to continue access after the No-Cost Period ends.

Cancellation during the No-Cost Period: You may close your Calimento account at any time during the No-Cost Period at no cost. No subscription is active and no charge will be applied. To close your account, navigate to Settings > Account > Delete Account within the App, or contact us at admin@livelygraphics.com.

4.6 Price Changes

We reserve the right to adjust subscription pricing. You will be notified of any price changes in advance and in accordance with applicable law. Continued use of the App after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

4.7 Refunds

All subscription payments are processed by Apple. Refund requests are governed by Apple's refund policies and must be directed to Apple. Lively Graphics, LLC has no authority to issue refunds for App Store purchases.

5. User-Generated Content Policy

We are committed to reviewing all reports and taking appropriate action in a timely manner.

6. AI Features and Data Processing Disclosure

6.1 AI Vision Recipe Scanner

Calimento includes an artificial intelligence feature called "AI Vision" (the "AI Scanner"), which allows users to photograph or upload images of physical recipe cards, handwritten notes, cookbook pages, or other recipe-containing documents. The AI Scanner uses machine learning optical character recognition (OCR) technology to extract, transcribe, and structure the textual content from those images into digital recipe format within the App.

6.2 Third-Party AI Processing — Anthropic

BY USING THE AI SCANNER FEATURE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, CONSENT TO, AND AGREE THAT:

  • Images you submit through the AI Scanner are transmitted over the internet and processed by Anthropic, PBC ("Anthropic"), an artificial intelligence company, pursuant to their applicable terms of service and privacy policy;
  • Anthropic's AI models (including Claude) analyze the content of your submitted images to perform text extraction and recipe parsing;
  • Lively Graphics, LLC does not control Anthropic's data handling, processing, retention, or security practices, and we expressly disclaim any liability arising from Anthropic's processing of your data;
  • You should not submit images containing sensitive personal information, financial data, government identification, medical records, or other confidential information that you do not wish to be processed by third-party AI services;
  • The AI Scanner feature is provided for convenience only and may not achieve perfect accuracy. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all extracted content before saving it to your recipe collection; and
  • Your use of the AI Scanner constitutes your acknowledgment that you have read and agreed to Anthropic's Terms of Service, available at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms.

6.3 Intellectual Property of Scanned Content

You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to scan and digitize any recipe card, book page, or document submitted through the AI Scanner feature. You acknowledge that recipes may be protected by copyright law, and you are solely responsible for ensuring your use of any digitized content complies with all applicable intellectual property laws.

6.4 Other AI-Powered Features

The App may include additional AI-powered features such as personalized recipe recommendations, nutritional analysis, or ingredient substitution suggestions. These features may similarly rely on third-party AI service providers. Where such features are offered, we will provide appropriate disclosure within the App's feature description or settings menu.

6.5 Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect the information you provide. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from the App, and we disclaim liability for unauthorized access that occurs despite our reasonable security measures.

No waiver by Lively Graphics, LLC of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition.
