1. General Provisions
1.1. This User Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") governs the relations between the Administration and a natural person (hereinafter the "User") arising from the use of the Sito mobile application for Android and iOS (hereinafter the "App") and related services.
1.2. By starting to use the App, the User confirms that they have read the terms of the Agreement and accepts them in full. If the User does not agree with the terms, they must stop using the App and delete it from the device.
1.3. The processing of the User's data is described in the App's Privacy Policy, published in the same place as this Agreement; the Policy is an integral part of this Agreement.
1.4. The Administration may unilaterally amend the terms of the Agreement. The current version is always available at the place where the Agreement is published. The date of the last revision is indicated at the beginning of this document.
2. Terms
- App — the Sito mobile application for the Android and iOS platforms, including all of its features and updates.
- Diary — the set of Days the User keeps in the App.
- Day — the Entries of one calendar date together with the Day Rating.
- Entry — a record of a meal: what was eaten and when.
- Day Rating — the wellbeing mark the User gives a Day at their own discretion: good, so-so or bad, the time it applies from, and an optional note.
- Insights — the section of the App where the Days of the recent period are counted by their Ratings, and the dishes from the Entries by how often a bad Day followed them.
- User Content — everything the User enters into the App: the texts of Entries and of the notes to Day Ratings.
- Export — a table with the contents of the Diary that the App builds on the device at the User's request.
- Account — the User's profile created when signing in with an email address.
3. Subject Matter of the Agreement
3.1. The Administration grants the User the right to use the App under a simple (non-exclusive) free-of-charge license, in the territory of all countries of the world, for the term of the exclusive right, to the extent determined by the App's functionality.
3.2. The App enables the User to:
- keep Entries about meals with their time, edit and delete them, including picking dishes from suggestions based on their own earlier Entries;
- give a Day Rating and add a note to it;
- browse the Diary by a calendar that marks the filled Days and their Ratings;
- see the Insights over their own Entries and Ratings;
- export the Diary as a table and pass the file on in any way available on the device;
- create an Account and synchronize their Diary between their own devices.
3.3. The App is provided on an "as is" basis. The Administration does not guarantee uninterrupted and error-free operation of the App and may change, supplement, or discontinue individual features.
3.4. The core functionality of the App — keeping the Diary, the Insights and the Export — works offline, without an Internet connection. A connection is used only for signing in to the Account, synchronizing the Diary and transmitting depersonalized statistics on the App's operation (see the Privacy Policy).
4. Informational Nature of the Diary and the Insights
This section is a material term of the use of the App.
4.1. The App is a means of keeping personal notes. It is not a medical device, is not intended for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of diseases and does not replace a consultation with a doctor.
4.2. The Insights are arithmetic over the User's own Entries and Day Ratings, performed on the User's device: how many Days got which Rating, and after which dishes bad Days happened more often. The counting takes nothing into account but coincidence in time: a dish followed by a bad Day is not necessarily its cause. The Insights are a hint to discuss with a specialist, not a diagnosis, an assessment of health or a recommendation; the App neither prescribes nor excludes foods and gives no advice on nutrition or treatment.
4.3. Decisions about diet, treatment and seeking medical help are made by the User, together with a specialist where needed. The Diary and the Insights may support such a conversation, but do not replace it.
5. Account
5.1. An Account is created when signing in with an email address confirmed by a one-time code that the App sends to that address. No password is used.
5.2. An Account is not required: without signing in, the App retains its full functionality, and data is stored only on the User's device.
5.3. The User undertakes to provide a valid email address to which they have access and is solely responsible for the safekeeping of access to it and for all actions performed under their Account.
5.4. One User corresponds to one Account. Transferring an Account to third parties is not permitted.
5.5. Synchronization transfers the User's Diary between their own devices and does not involve publishing the Diary, showing it to other users, or exchanging data between users.
5.6. A sign-in session is renewed automatically while the User uses the App. If the server has stopped accepting the session, the App offers to sign in again; the Diary and unsynchronized edits stay on the device.
5.7. If another Account was previously used on the device, signing in with a new address erases that Account's Diary from this device; in the previous Account itself the Diary is kept.
6. Synchronization and Data Safety
This section is a material term of the use of the App.
6.1. Synchronization is not a backup service. The Administration does not guarantee the safety of synchronized data and recommends not treating the App as the only storage location for a Diary that is significant to the User. A copy of the Diary can be obtained at any time with the Export (clause 3.2).
6.2. When the versions of one Day diverge between devices, the App merges them: the Entries of both devices are kept, of two versions of one Entry the one edited later remains, the deletion of an Entry on either device is kept, and of two Ratings of one Day the one given later remains. Individual edits may be lost in the process.
6.3. The User is solely responsible for the safety of the data on their device. If the device is lost, broken, or reset, or if the App is deleted, a Diary that has not been synchronized with the Account is lost irretrievably.
7. User Content
7.1. The rights to User Content belong to the User. The Administration acquires no rights to it and uses it solely to provide the service — storing and synchronizing the Diary between the User's devices.
7.2. The User alone decides what to write in the Diary, whether to rate a Day and what to put in the note. User Content is stored on the User's device and, when an Account is used, on the Administration's server; the Administration does not read it, does not analyze it, does not moderate it and does not subject it to prior review.
7.3. The User is solely responsible for User Content, including compliance with the rights of third parties and the requirements of the law when creating it, and undertakes not to place in the App information whose dissemination is prohibited by law, or personal data of third parties without a lawful basis.
8. Rights and Obligations of the User
8.1. The User may use the App to keep their own Diary within the scope of its functionality.
8.2. The User undertakes:
- to comply with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law;
- not to decompile or modify the App and not to create derivative products based on it, except as expressly permitted by law;
- not to take actions that disrupt the normal operation of the App and its server side, including automated data collection, circumvention of restrictions and attempts to access other users' Accounts and Diaries.
9. Rights and Obligations of the Administration
9.1. The Administration undertakes to keep the App operational within the limits of its available technical capabilities and to process data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
9.2. The Administration may:
- change the App's functionality and the terms on which the App is provided;
- require the App to be updated to the current version: the server side may stop serving outdated versions, of which the App informs the User;
- restrict or terminate the User's access to the server side of the App if the User violates the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of the law.
9.3. The Administration has no access to data that has not been transferred to the server as part of synchronization.
10. Intellectual Property
10.1. The exclusive rights to the App, its interface, program code, graphic elements and texts belong to the Administration.
10.2. The rights to User Content remain with the User (section 7). The Diary and its Export may be used by the User freely, including being passed to third parties in any way available to the User.
10.3. The Onest font used in the App is distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; the license text is included in the App.
11. Third-Party Services
11.1. The App uses third-party services whose operation is governed by their own terms:
- Yandex AppMetrica — collection of depersonalized information about the operation and stability of the App (https://yandex.ru/legal/appmetrica_termsofuse/);
- Google Play, App Store — distribution of the App.
The Administration also engages technical infrastructure providers to host the server side of the App and to deliver sign-in code emails; they act on behalf of the Administration to the extent necessary to provide the respective service. The server side is hosted in the territory of the Russian Federation.
11.2. The application to which the User passes the Export (mail, a messenger, a file storage) is chosen by the User; its operation is governed by the terms of that application.
11.3. The Administration is not responsible for the operation and terms of third-party services.
12. Personal Data
12.1. The procedure for the collection, processing, storage, and deletion of data is described in the App's Privacy Policy.
12.2. By starting to use the App, the User consents to the processing of their data under the terms of the Privacy Policy. Consent may be withdrawn by deleting the Account, as well as by ceasing to use the App and deleting it from the device.
13. Cost and Absence of Paid Features
13.1. The App is provided free of charge. There are no paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in the current version.
13.2. No advertising is placed in the App.
13.3. The Administration may introduce paid features in future versions. The terms on which they are provided are communicated to the User before the User makes a payment. Functionality previously available free of charge is not restricted in that case, unless expressly stated otherwise by the Administration.
14. Limitation of Liability
14.1. The App is provided "as is". The Administration is not liable for any losses arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the App, including the loss of the Diary, or for any consequences of decisions about food, health and treatment made on the basis of the Diary or the Insights (section 4).
14.2. The Administration does not guarantee that the App meets the User's expectations or is suitable for the User's purposes.
14.3. The Administration's liability is in any case limited to the amount paid by the User for the use of the App.
15. Term and Termination

15.2. The User may stop using the App or its server side at any time:
- by deleting the App from the device;
- by signing out of the Account via Settings → "Account" → "Sign out";
- by deleting the Account via Settings → "Account" → "Delete the account" → "Delete"; the Diary on the device is kept as a local one in that case (see the Privacy Policy).
15.3. The Administration may unilaterally terminate the Agreement and block the Account if the User violates the terms of the Agreement.
16. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
16.1. This Agreement is governed by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
