Terms of Use

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and DB Advisory, LLC ("BusyMeals," "we," "us"), 11682 Portofino Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701, USA. They cover the BusyMeals iPhone app and the website at busymeals.app (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. What BusyMeals is (and isn't)

BusyMeals helps you keep records of business meals: it reads receipts, organizes the details the IRS generally asks you to keep, and builds reports you can keep or give to your tax professional.

BusyMeals keeps records; it doesn't give tax, accounting or legal advice. The meal types and percentages in the app reflect general IRS rules, which may not fit your situation and can change. The "typical yearly meal spend" is based on published IRS Statistics of Income data; it's a reference point, not a limit, a target, or a prediction of whether you'll be audited. You decide how each meal is classified and what you claim on your return. Ask your accountant how this applies to you.

We don't promise that any deduction will be allowed, that your records will satisfy the IRS or any other authority, or that the Service will prevent or resolve an audit.

2. Who can use BusyMeals

You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. BusyMeals is meant for business recordkeeping. If you use it for a company, you confirm you're allowed to accept these terms for that company.

3. Your content

You own your content. Your receipts, meal records, notes, saved people and reports ("Your Content") belong to you. Your Content is stored on your iPhone; we don't receive it unless you send it to us (for example, in a support message), and then we use it only to help you.

You're responsible for Your Content. Make sure what you enter is accurate and that you have a legitimate reason to record it, including information about the people you eat with. Don't add anything illegal or anything you don't have the right to use.

Keep your own copies. Because your records live on your iPhone, they can be lost if your phone is lost or reset or you delete the app, unless you've exported them or turned on backup. Back up and export regularly.

4. Plans, free trial and billing

Free plan. Log up to 5 meals in total, free, with every feature. The limit doesn't reset.

Unlimited plans. Unlimited logging is available as an auto-renewing subscription:

• Unlimited Yearly: $69.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
• Unlimited Weekly: $2.99 per week, with no free trial.

Prices are in U.S. dollars, may differ by country and may change; taxes may apply. If a price changes, Apple will notify you as its rules require.

Billing is handled by Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, for the free trial, when the trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price and length unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time: open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.

Free trial. If you start the Yearly plan's free trial and don't cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, it becomes a paid yearly subscription. Introductory offers are limited to one per person, as Apple's rules allow.

Refunds. Apple handles all payments and refunds under its own policies. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.

If your subscription ends. You keep every meal you've logged and can still view and export it. Logging more than 5 meals in total needs an active subscription.

5. Invite friends

You can invite friends with your personal code ("give a month, get a month"). Rewards start once BusyMeals is on the App Store; the app will show how and when a reward is earned. Rewards have no cash value and can't be transferred or sold. Don't spam, create fake accounts or invite yourself. We may change or end the program, or withhold rewards obtained by abuse.

6. Using the Service fairly

Don't use the Service to break the law or to create false or misleading records; try to access other people's data; interfere with or overload the Service; reverse-engineer it except where the law allows; or resell it without our permission.

7. Third-party services

The Service works with services we don't control, including the App Store, Apple Maps, Google Maps (if you choose to open a meal there), iCloud Drive or other storage you pick for backups, and published exchange-rate data. Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. Restaurant matches come from map data and exchange rates from published sources, and either can be wrong or out of date: check the details against your receipt.

8. Changes to the Service and these terms

We're always improving BusyMeals, so features may change. If we make material changes to these terms, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new terms apply.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using BusyMeals at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if we must for legal reasons. Because your records are on your iPhone, you can keep exporting them even if we stop offering the Service. Sections 1, 3 and 10 to 16 continue to apply after your use ends.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't warrant that receipt reading, restaurant matching, currency conversion, calculations or reports will be error-free. Check your records before you rely on them.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, BusyMeals won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, taxes, penalties, interest or data, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim or $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

If you use the Service for a business, you agree to defend and indemnify BusyMeals against claims arising from Your Content or your breach of these terms, to the extent allowed by law.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Any dispute that isn't resolved will be decided by the state or federal courts located in San Bernardino County, California, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court.

15. Other terms

These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we don't enforce a term right away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later. You can't transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
