IMPORTANT: Vital Sentinel IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. IT DOES NOT DIAGNOSE, TREAT, OR PREVENT ANY CONDITION. NEVER RELY ON IT FOR HEALTH DECISIONS.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a legally binding contract between you and ByteAffinity LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us”), governing your use of the Vital Sentinel mobile application and all related services (the “App”).

3. Nature of the App – NOT MEDICAL

Vital Sentinel is a consumer wellness tool that estimates stress using heart-rate and wrist-temperature data from Apple HealthKit. It is not a medical device, is not cleared or approved by the FDA, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, cardiovascular disease, or fever.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, without notice or liability, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms.

9. DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, AND OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT BYTEAFFINITY LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, MENTAL ANGUISH, PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, OR ANY OTHER NON-PHYSICAL HARM ALLEGEDLY CAUSED OR EXACERBATED BY YOUR USE OF THE APP OR ITS OUTPUTS, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ASSERTED.
(b) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE U.S. DOLLAR ($1.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so this applies only to the fullest extent permitted.
