LighterLiver Terms of Service
What this app is
LighterLiver helps you keep your own record of fatty liver disease and read general, evidence-based information about it. It is a place to keep track and to prepare for appointments.
It is not for anyone who has had fluid build-up in the tummy, confusion or drowsiness, bleeding from swollen veins, or yellowing of the skin or eyes because of their liver.
What it is not
It does not diagnose. It does not tell you what your results mean for you personally, and it does not give you medical advice, a treatment plan, a diet plan or a dose for you.
It is not a substitute for your doctor, and nothing in it should change what you take, or a treatment your doctor has set, without talking to them first.
If you are unwell, contact your doctor. In an emergency, call your local emergency number or go to your nearest emergency department.
The numbers it shows you
Figures such as FIB-4 are calculated from the results you enter, using published formulas. They are only as good as what was typed in, and a calculated number is not a diagnosis. Your doctor interprets them in the context of everything else they know about you.
Where the app summarises habits over a week, that summary is a rough picture built from what you told it. It is not a clinical measure and it is not validated as one.
Reading a report with the camera can make mistakes. Check every value against the report before you save it.
Your record is yours
Entering your results, reading them, exporting them as a spreadsheet and charting your ALT, weight and stiffness are free. A person should never have to pay to see their own health record.
Paid features
Some conveniences are paid: reading reports with the camera after your first blood report and first scan report, steps and workouts from Apple Health, appointment summaries after the first, and comparing several measures on one chart.
LighterLiver Plus is one payment, not a subscription. The price is shown in the app in your own currency before you buy.
A single purchase, charged once to your Apple ID. It does not renew, there is nothing to cancel, and it stays on any device signed in to the same Apple ID.
Purchases are made through Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms.
Keeping your own copy
Your record is stored on your device, not with us, so we cannot recover it for you. If your phone is lost, replaced or reset, anything that is not in your phone's backup or in a copy you saved is gone.
Save a copy from Settings, and keep it somewhere you would keep a medical letter.
Content and how current it is
The clinical information in the app is reviewed and dated. Guidelines change, and there may be a period where something here is out of step with the most recent advice. Where a date is shown, it is when that content was last checked.
Liability
The app is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from using it or relying on it, including any decision made on the basis of something it displayed.
Nothing here limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia.
