Terms of Service
Last updated October 19, 2026
Agreement and eligibility
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and A&C Labs LLC, doing business as Intake Macro Tracker ("A&C Labs," "we," "us"), the owner and operator of Intake: Calorie Tracker. You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts. By creating an account, continuing with Google, completing setup, or otherwise using Intake, you confirm you have read and accept these Terms, the Health & Safety Notice and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Intake.
Not medical advice
Intake provides tracking tools, calorie and macro estimates, AI-assisted estimates, training and running plans, coaching content and educational information. All of it may be incomplete or inaccurate and is not medical, nutritional, psychological or professional advice, diagnosis or treatment. No doctor–patient, dietitian–client or coach–athlete relationship is created. Consult a qualified professional before making nutrition, exercise or health decisions.
Assumption of risk and release
You understand that exercise, strength training, endurance and ultra-distance running and changes in diet involve risk of serious injury, illness and death. You voluntarily assume all risks of activities you choose to perform, whether or not suggested by Intake, its plans, paths or AI Coach. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive and discharge Intake Macro Tracker and its owners, members, officers, employees, contractors and affiliates from any and all claims for personal injury, illness, death or property damage arising from your use of Intake or activities you undertake, including claims based on ordinary negligence.
No government or military affiliation
Intake and A&C Labs LLC are independent and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or approved by the U.S. Department of War (formerly the Department of Defense), the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserve components, or any other government agency. Military fitness test calculators and training plans are unofficial educational tools based on publicly available scoring standards, which may change without notice. Scores shown in Intake are estimates only and are not official test results, records or evaluations. Always confirm current standards with your unit, command, recruiter or official branch publications. Branch names are used only to identify the standards a tool refers to and do not imply any partnership or endorsement. Intake does not use government insignia, seals or emblems.
Food data and allergens
Nutrition information comes from restaurants, government databases, open databases, barcode and label scans, AI estimates and other users. We do not verify every item and make no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, allergen content or food safety. You are solely responsible for verifying ingredients and allergens before eating.
Your account
You are responsible for accurate account information, securing your sign-in (including any password you choose, even a weak one), and all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at intakemacro@gmail.com about unauthorized use.
Your content and license
You retain ownership of content you add. You grant Intake Macro Tracker a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce and display that content only as needed to operate, secure and improve Intake and provide features you request. You confirm you have the rights to anything you post.
Intellectual property, logo and trademarks
Intake, the Intake name, the Intake logo and emblem, mascots, seasonal characters, icons, color schemes, trade dress, screen designs, written content, plans, compiled databases, software and source code are the exclusive property of Intake Macro Tracker and are protected by trademark, copyright, trade secret and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use them. You may not copy, reproduce, download, modify, distribute, sell, display, frame, imitate, register as a domain, social handle or trademark, or create derivative works from the Intake logo, name or brand assets — for personal, commercial or promotional purposes — without prior written permission from Intake Macro Tracker. Unauthorized use may result in account termination and legal action, including injunctive relief, damages and recovery of attorneys’ fees where permitted.
Restricted use of the app
You may not copy, scrape, crawl, harvest, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or attempt to extract source code, databases or menu data; resell or sublicense Intake; build a competing product using Intake content; bypass paywalls, entitlements or security; use bots or automation; or use Intake for any unlawful purpose.
Proprietary methods and confidential information
Intake’s calorie-adjustment engine (the Eraser), Circadian Meal Shield (Sleep Shield) and adaptive energy-expenditure engine, including their source code, algorithms, thresholds, weighting rules, sequencing, data structures and non-public documentation, are confidential trade secrets and proprietary works of A&C Labs LLC. Patent applications may be pending. Your use of Intake grants no license to these methods. You agree not to decompile, reverse engineer, extract, benchmark for competitive purposes, systematically probe or record outputs to reconstruct, or use Intake or its outputs to build, train or improve a competing product or model, and not to disclose non-public information about these systems that you learn through beta access, support, coaching or business discussions. Breach may cause irreparable harm, entitling A&C Labs LLC to seek injunctive relief in addition to damages and attorneys’ fees where permitted.
Copyright and DMCA
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). To report infringing content in Intake, email intakemacro@gmail.com with the subject "DMCA notice" and include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work; (2) identification of the material you claim is infringing and where it appears in Intake; (3) your name, address, telephone number and email; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner; and (6) your physical or electronic signature. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notification with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the same address. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. Note: statutory safe-harbor protection also requires a designated agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office; our agent registration is in progress, and this procedure applies in the meantime.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse Intake, attempt unauthorized access, disrupt the service, upload malware or unlawful material, impersonate others, collect member information, or use community features to harass or endanger anyone.
Community conduct and termination
Intake Community (posts, comments, groups and names) must stay respectful and professional. No profanity, sexual or suggestive content, hate speech, slurs, harassment, threats, medical claims, spam or links. Blocked language is rejected automatically and reported to the Intake team with member reports. Intake Macro Tracker may remove content and suspend or permanently close any account at its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without refund to the extent permitted by law.
Subscriptions and payments
Athlete subscriptions renew automatically each monthly or annual period until canceled. Purchases are billed by Google Play under Google Play terms, and Google provides customer service for billing inquiries and handles payment disputes. Approved discounts apply only to the verified account and may be withdrawn for misuse. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, non-payment, fraud or security risk.
Cancellation and refunds
Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues through the paid period. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee: you can request a full refund within 30 days of your order date. Google Play purchases can be refunded through Google Play or by emailing intakemacro@gmail.com. See our Refund Policy at /refund. Deleting the app or account does not cancel a subscription by itself.
Coaches you connect with
Coach sharing is optional. Coaches who invite you through Intake are not selected, employed, certified or supervised by A&C Labs, and Intake does not review their advice. Intake provides the tools for sharing what you choose and for exchanging notes and proposals; coach proposals never change your targets without your approval. Decide for yourself whether a coach’s guidance is right for you. Your rights and the limits on our responsibility for coaching relationships are as described in these Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Third-party services and wearable data
Intake links to or uses third parties such as Google, app stores, payment providers, AI providers, nutrition databases, maps, wearable makers (Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Google, Whoop and others), Health Connect, Strava and delivery services like DoorDash. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, orders, accuracy or practices. Data from wearables and connected apps — including steps, calories burned, heart rate and workouts — is provided by those third parties, may be wrong or delayed, is not a medical measurement, and must never be relied on for medical, safety or exertion decisions. You use connected devices and their data at your own risk.
Availability and changes
We may change, suspend or discontinue features, data or plans at any time and do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service. We may update these Terms; continued use after an update means you accept it.
Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Intake is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement or results. We do not guarantee any weight, body-fat, strength, race or health outcome.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Intake Macro Tracker and its owners, members, employees and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, injury or health outcomes, arising from or related to Intake. Total liability for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you paid Intake Macro Tracker for Intake in the 12 months before the claim or US $50.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Intake Macro Tracker and its owners, members, employees and contractors from claims, losses, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of Intake, your content, your activities or your violation of these Terms or anyone’s rights.
Dispute resolution and arbitration
Before filing any claim, email intakemacro@gmail.com describing the dispute and requested resolution, and both sides will try to resolve it informally for 30 days. If unresolved, disputes will be resolved by final, binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its consumer rules, except either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court or seek injunctive relief for intellectual property misuse. You and A&C Labs waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective or representative action. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against A&C Labs by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the claims will proceed in staged batches of up to 25 at a time, with the remaining demands stayed until the earlier batches resolve, or administered under the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules if applicable. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
Governing law and general
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Alabama, where A&C Labs LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules and without removing consumer protections that apply where you live. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may. These Terms, the Health & Safety Notice and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement. Contact: A&C Labs LLC, intakemacro@gmail.com.
Health & safety notice
Not medical advice
Intake, a service of A&C Labs LLC, is a food and exercise tracking tool, not a healthcare provider, physician, registered dietitian, licensed trainer or medical facility. Calorie and macro targets (including Mifflin–St Jeor estimates), TDEE, body-fat estimates, weight trends, meal timing, Legend and Hardcore paths, running plans, training suggestions and AI Coach replies are algorithmic estimates for general education only. They are not a diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or substitute for advice from a qualified clinician, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.
Get medical clearance first
Consult a physician before starting or changing any diet or exercise program, especially if you are pregnant or nursing, have heart, blood-pressure, kidney, liver, metabolic, diabetic or other medical conditions, take medication that affects nutrition, heart rate or activity, have had injuries or surgery, or have a current or past eating disorder. Never delay or disregard professional advice because of anything in Intake.
Assumption of physical risk
Weightlifting, progressive overload, high-intensity training, calorie deficits or surpluses, fasting windows, cardio, hill repeats, weighted hiking, night or trail running and ultra-distance events (including 50K, 100K and 100-mile training) carry inherent known and unknown risks, including muscle and joint injury, falls, rhabdomyolysis, dehydration, hyponatremia, heat or cold illness, fainting, cardiac events, permanent disability and death. You choose these activities voluntarily, confirm you are physically able to do them, and assume all such risks.
Stop when something is wrong
Stop immediately and seek medical care for chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, dark urine, severe muscle pain, confusion or any alarming symptom. Use proper form, spotters, equipment, hydration, lighting, reflective gear and route safety. Intake is not an emergency service — call local emergency services in an emergency.
Food, allergens and labels
Restaurant menus, chain nutrition guides, USDA records, Open Food Facts, barcode scans, label OCR, coffee-builder math, recipes and community or user-entered foods may be incomplete, outdated, estimated or wrong. Restaurants change recipes, oils and portions. Intake never guarantees allergen safety, gluten-free status, cross-contamination control or food safety. If you have allergies or medical diet needs, verify directly with the manufacturer or restaurant.
AI estimates
AI meal-photo estimates and AI Coach responses are generated by automated software and can be wrong: they can misidentify foods, misjudge portions, miscalculate nutrition, miss or mislabel allergens, and produce confident-sounding but inaccurate suggestions ("hallucinations"). Never rely on AI outputs for allergy safety, medical diets, diabetes or insulin management, or any condition where an error could harm you — verify with the manufacturer, restaurant or a qualified professional. Treat them as rough guidance, never as professional or individualized medical, nutrition or coaching advice.
Audio coaching and hands-free features
In-ear spotter briefings, hype cues, next-set suggestions, voice logging and other hands-free features are automated software notifications only. They are not live human supervision, not a physical spotter, and not safety monitoring, and they do not check your form, fatigue or environment. You are solely responsible for safe lifting conditions — including using collars, safety pins or arms, appropriate loads and a qualified human spotter when needed — regardless of what any audio cue or suggestion says.
Accountability features
Strikes, demotions, streaks, Bullseye targets, challenges and badges are motivational tools only. Never skip meals, train through injury or illness, dehydrate, purge or punish yourself to avoid a strike. Pause a path whenever health requires it.
Wearable and tracker data
Steps, calories, heart rate and workout data read from Health Connect, Strava or a watch (Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Pixel, Whoop and others) come from third-party devices and apps we do not control. They can be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate, and heart-rate or calorie figures from wearables are estimates, not medical measurements. Never use this data to make medical decisions, diagnose a condition, or decide whether you are well enough to exercise — rely on how you feel and on professional medical advice.
