Terms of Service

Draft — last updated 30 July 2026

1. Who these terms are between

These terms are an agreement between you and [LEGAL ENTITY OR OWNER NAME] (“we”, “us”), the operator of the SipNudger device, apps, and this website (together, the “Service”). You can reach us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. SipNudger is not a medical device

SipNudger measures the weight of a container to estimate how much you drink, and reminds you when you are behind a goal you set yourself. It is a convenience and habit tool.

• It is not a medical device and gives no medical advice.
• Its measurements are estimates and can be wrong — for example if the container is moved, knocked, refilled by someone else, or if liquid evaporates or ice melts.
• Do not use it to manage a medical condition, and do not rely on it for fluid restrictions or targets set by a clinician. Talk to a qualified health professional about how much you should drink.

3. Your account

• You need a working email address; we send a verification code to confirm it.
• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account.
• You must be old enough to agree to a contract where you live ([MINIMUM AGE — e.g. 16, or 13 with a parent]).
• Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has accessed your account.

4. The device

• You own the hardware you bought. These terms cover the software and the online service it talks to.
• The device needs your Wi-Fi network to report readings. You are responsible for that network and any data charges.
• You may open, modify, or repair your own device, but doing so may stop it working with the Service and may void any warranty ([WARRANTY TERMS AND DURATION, IF ANY]).
• We may issue firmware updates that change or improve behaviour.

5. Your data

To run the Service we store: your email address, your password in hashed form, the settings you choose (time zone, daily target, active hours and weekdays, reminder preferences, and any optional profile details such as name, birthday, gender, height, or weight), the drink readings your device reports with their timestamps, and basic device information such as its identifier, local IP address, and firmware version.

• Your readings and settings are used to show your history, work out whether you are behind your goal, and configure your device. We do not sell them.
• The Service runs on servers we operate ourselves. We use a third-party email provider to send verification codes.
• There are no advertising or analytics trackers in the app or on this site.
• You can delete your account and its data yourself at any time: Account → Delete account in the app or at app.sipnudger.com. It removes your account, settings and drink history immediately and cannot be undone. For a copy of your data, email [CONTACT EMAIL].
• Depending on where you live you may have further rights over your data (for example under the GDPR or CCPA) — [SEE THE PRIVACY POLICY / NAME THE LEGAL BASIS].

6. Availability

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. It is a small, self-hosted operation: it may be offline for maintenance, may lose readings during an outage, and features may change or be withdrawn. We do not promise any particular uptime, and reminders may be late or missed — for example if your network is down, the device is unplugged, or the server is unreachable.

7. Acceptable use

Please do not: break the law using the Service; try to access other people's accounts or data; probe, overload, or disrupt our servers; automate requests in a way that degrades the Service for others; or resell access without our written permission.

We may suspend or close an account that does these things.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, or any harm arising from reliance on the Service's measurements or reminders — including any health outcome. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

[IF YOU SELL TO CONSUMERS IN THE EU/UK, STATUTORY RIGHTS OVERRIDE MUCH OF THIS SECTION — HAVE IT REVIEWED.]

9. Ending the agreement

You may stop using the Service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may end or suspend your access if you breach these terms, or if we discontinue the Service — in which case we will give reasonable notice where we can, so you can export your history.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you we will notify you by email or in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top of this page shows the current version.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION — e.g. the State of California, USA], and disputes will be handled by the courts of [COURTS / OR DESCRIBE ARBITRATION].
