Terms of Service
Licence
Chicken is distributed through the Apple App Store and licensed, not sold, to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA). Those terms apply in full; this page adds the few points that are specific to Chicken. Where the two differ, the standard EULA prevails.
Who we are
Chicken is made in Italy by David Jiabiao Zhu, trading as The Real Life Studio. Contact: [email protected].
Chicken Pro
- Chicken Pro is a single in-app purchase, non-consumable. You pay once; nothing renews and there is no subscription.
- The purchase is processed by Apple and tied to your Apple ID. Restore it on a new device with "Restore Purchases" in the app.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its App Store policies; we cannot issue them ourselves.
- Prices are shown in the app as set by the App Store for your country. A launch-price period may exist; a reduced price is never shown against a price that was not actually charged.
Your data
Everything you log lives on your iPhone. There are no accounts and no servers of ours, so we hold nothing of yours and cannot recover data you delete or lose. Back up your phone, or use "Export my data (JSON)" in Preferences. See the Privacy Policy for what the app reads and writes, including Apple Health and the optional barcode import.
Health and training
Chicken helps you log workouts and food and suggests targets and progressions based on published training and nutrition guidelines. It is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor, a dietitian or a coach. You are responsible for training within your abilities, for the loads you choose and for the food you eat. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are unsure about a target the app shows, ask a professional first.
Third-party data in the app
- Exercise data and animations are licensed from ExerciseDB for use inside the app only.
- Foods imported by barcode come from Open Food Facts, under the Open Database License; the values are contributed by its community and may be incomplete or wrong — check the label.
- Bundled nutrition values are based on USDA data; calorie and macro targets follow published guidelines listed under Health References in the app.
- Links you add (for example YouTube) open in the corresponding app or your browser under their own terms.
Acceptable use
Do not copy, extract or redistribute the app's exercise library, animations or other bundled content, reverse-engineer the app beyond what the law allows, or use it in a way that breaks the standard EULA or the App Store terms.
Availability and changes
We may change, add or remove features in future versions. We will keep the app working as described in the App Store listing for the version you download, but do not promise that any feature will exist forever. We'll update this page when these terms change and note the date above.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Chicken is provided "as is". We are not liable for injuries, health outcomes, lost data or other losses arising from the use of the app, beyond what the standard EULA and mandatory consumer law provide. Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Italian law, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live and to the terms of the standard EULA.
