Terms

The terms under which you can use Heir.

Last updated June 7, 2026.

These are the terms under which you can use Heir. We have kept them as plain as a legal document can be. The most important section is Section 2: Heir is not medical advice. Heir is a thoughtful daily companion, not a doctor. For anything that actually requires a clinician, see one.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and YOUR LEGAL ENTITY NAME(“Heir,” “we,” “us”). They apply to your use of the Heir iOS app, the website at heir.health, and every related feature we offer (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, downloading the app, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Heir.

2. Heir is not medical advice

Heir is an education and lifestyle tool. Heir is not a doctor, not a medical device, and not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Nothing in the Service — Today’s Read, the food scanner, the supplement Stack, Heir Care, the Library, the Prayer Room, or any other feature — is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. The recommendations Heir surfaces are sourced patterns and lifestyle suggestions, not a clinical plan.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting, changing, or stopping any supplement, medication, diet, exercise program, or treatment, and for any symptom that is new, severe, or worsening. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 (United States) or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call or text 988 (United States) or your local crisis line.

Heir does not and cannot substitute for the judgment of a clinician who knows you, your history, and your laboratory results in context. Your decisions about your health are yours, and you bear the responsibility for them.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Heir. By using the Service you represent that you are 18 or older, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that your use of the Service does not violate any law that applies to you.

You may not use Heir if you are subject to U.S. economic sanctions, if you are listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, or if you would be barred from receiving the Service under U.S. or other applicable law.

4. Your account

To use most features, you must create an account through Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for keeping your Apple ID secure and for everything that happens under your account. Notify us at security@heir.health if you suspect unauthorized access.

You agree to provide accurate information about yourself when you set up the account, and to keep the basics current. Heir relies on what you tell it; inaccurate inputs produce less useful outputs.

5. Subscriptions and payments

5.1 Plans

Heir offers a free tier and paid subscriptions (“Heir+” and “Heir Care”). Current prices, included features, and term lengths are shown inside the app on the paywall before you purchase.

5.2 Apple App Store purchases

Purchases made through the iOS app are handled by Apple, governed by the Apple Media Services Terms, and billed to your Apple ID. Your subscription will auto-renewfor the same period and at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the Heir app does not cancel your subscription.

5.3 Web purchases (Stripe)

If we offer web-side purchases, those are processed by Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled. You can manage your web subscription from the billing portal we surface inside the app.

5.4 Refunds

App Store purchases follow Apple’s refund process. Web purchases: contact support@heir.health within fourteen days of the charge for a discretionary refund, subject to applicable consumer-protection law.

5.5 Free tier and quotas

The free tier includes a limited number of personalized food scans per month. The exact quota is shown in the app and may change with reasonable notice.

5.6 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. If we do, we will notify you in advance (typically at least thirty days) by email or in-app notice, and you can cancel before the new price takes effect.

6. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

  • Use Heir for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
  • Use Heir in a way that endangers another person or yourself, or to give clinical advice to anyone else.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, attempt to bypass authentication or rate limits, or interfere with the Service’s operation.
  • Scrape, copy, or republish substantial portions of the Library corpus or any sourced excerpts displayed in the app. Excerpts are licensed for your personal reading only.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or model weights behind any part of the Service, except where applicable law expressly allows it.
  • Use Heir to build, train, or evaluate any competing product or machine-learning model.
  • Misrepresent your age, identity, or eligibility, or impersonate anyone else.
  • Post, in the Prayer Room or anywhere else inside the Service, content that is illegal, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexual in nature, infringes another’s rights, or contains another person’s identifying medical information.

We may remove content that violates these Terms and, in serious or repeated cases, terminate your account.

7. Your content

You own the content you submit to Heir — your check-in notes, your Prayer Room posts, your profile, your lab values, your Care inputs. By submitting it you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, and display that content solely to operate the Service for you. We do not use your content to train external models, and we do not sell it.

Prayers you set to community scope are visible to other signed-in users with the attribution you chose; you are responsible for the content of public posts.

8. Our content and intellectual property

The Heir name, brand, logo, Klein-blue palette, design system, editorial voice, recommendation engine, taxonomies, the Heir Care knowledge table, and all software and documentation are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose; nothing in these Terms transfers ownership.

The 20-book corpus that backs Today’s Read is owned by its respective authors and publishers. Heir displays short excerpts and citations under the doctrine of fair use; the underlying works remain the property of their owners.

9. Third-party services and links

Heir relies on third-party processors to operate (Apple, Clerk, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, Anthropic, Voyage, Resend, PostHog, Sentry, and the public food catalogs). Our reliance on them is described in our Privacy Policy. Each of those services has its own terms; using Heir means you accept their terms where they apply to your use of the Service.

We may link to or display external resources (citations, articles, referral links). We are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.”We disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or trade usage.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any recommendation will produce a particular health outcome. The accuracy of any third-party data we surface — food catalogs, source-text excerpts, your own HealthKit metrics — depends on those third parties.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

In no event will Heir, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, personal injury, or property damage, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars.

The limitations in this section do not apply to: (i) your or our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; (ii) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law; or (iii) bodily injury caused by a defect in a product we sold (we sell no products in v1).

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Heir from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (c) content you submit to the Service. We may, at our option, control the defense of any matter for which you owe us indemnity.

13. Termination

You can stop using Heir at any time and delete your account from inside the app (Profile → Account → Delete account) or by emailing privacy@heir.health.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your use endangers another user or our infrastructure, or if we are required to do so by law. We will give you reasonable notice when we can.

The sections that should reasonably survive termination — including Sections 2 (Not medical advice), 7 (Your content), 8 (Our IP), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of liability), 12 (Indemnity), 14 (Dispute resolution), and 15 (Governing law) — survive.

14. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by first emailing legal@heir.health and giving us thirty days to respond.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the rules of YOUR CHOSEN ARBITRATION PROVIDER (typically AAA or JAMS), seated in YOUR CHOSEN VENUE. Either party may bring a small-claims action in a court of competent jurisdiction instead.

You and Heir each agree to bring claims against the other only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.

If applicable consumer-protection law gives you a right that this section would otherwise waive (for example, the right to litigate a small claim in your local court, or rights under EU consumer law), that right is preserved.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of YOUR GOVERNING-LAW JURISDICTION, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 14, the state and federal courts located in YOUR VENUE have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration.

16. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. For material changes we will surface a notice in the app and email you. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date is your acceptance of the revised Terms; if you don’t accept them, stop using the Service and delete your account.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede any prior agreement. If a court finds any provision unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
