Welcome to Healthfoodness.
These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (the “User” or “you”) and Functional Answers LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Florida, United States (“we,” “our” or the “Company”), the developer and provider of the Healthfoodness mobile application (the “App”), available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Functional Answers LLC is the only contracting party responsible to the User for the App and the Services under these Terms. The App is marketed under the Healthfoodness brand, which Functional Answers LLC uses under license. Healthfoodness LLC, which provides private consultations, is a separate and independent company from Functional Answers LLC.
By creating an account and affirmatively accepting these Terms, or by using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted them, as well as our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any provision, do not create an account or use the App.
These Terms govern access to and use of all services offered by Functional Answers LLC, including: the mobile application; educational programs; tools for tracking habits, lab results and body composition; the AI-based Smart Assistant; educational content; personalized plans; reports and analyses; third-party integrations; Premium subscriptions; and future features and updates.
This summary is a reading guide and does not replace the full text.
Healthfoodness LLC and Mariana Meza are not parties to these Terms or to the license agreement between the User and Functional Answers LLC. Mentioning Healthfoodness LLC or Mariana Meza, or their credentials, methodology, educational materials, image, content, professional experience, or past or present involvement with the App, does not by itself create any contractual, professional, fiduciary, medical, nutritional or other obligation toward the User.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Healthfoodness LLC and Mariana Meza accept no responsibility for the operation of the App, availability of the Service, subscriptions, payments, data processing, responses generated by artificial intelligence, technical errors, automated recommendations, exercise routines, the User’s decisions, or claims arising from use of the App.
Any private consultation or individual professional service provided by Mariana Meza is delivered exclusively through Healthfoodness LLC and is a professional relationship independent from ordinary use of the App. Those services require a separate, express agreement and are governed by the consents, privacy notices, professional documentation and other terms that apply to Healthfoodness LLC. Nothing in these Terms creates that professional relationship by itself.
Creator of the method. Mariana Meza is the creator of the Functional Answers™ method and the author of the App’s educational content. Her involvement in the App is limited to that authorship and methodology work: she does not see Users individually because of their use of the App, does not review or approve the answers, reports or plans the App generates for each User, and does not act as their health professional.
Other Healthfoodness LLC professionals. What this section says about Mariana Meza also applies to any nutritionist, dietitian, physician or other professional who provides services on behalf of Healthfoodness LLC: none of them is a party to these Terms or assumes responsibility for the App.
Links to Healthfoodness LLC. The App may show a link to the Healthfoodness LLC website for those who wish to request a private consultation. Healthfoodness LLC is independent from Functional Answers LLC. Using that link is the User’s decision, it is not a service of the App, and Functional Answers LLC does not transfer the User’s Health Data to Healthfoodness LLC without the User’s express and specific authorization.
Affirmative acceptance. To create an account, the User must accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy by checking the box or tapping the “I accept” button the App shows for that purpose. Downloading or installing the App does not by itself amount to accepting these Terms. If the User does not accept, they will not be able to create an account.
Additional consents. Some features require a separate, specific consent, which is requested inside the App at the relevant moment. Examples include: processing of health data, artificial intelligence features, photos and voice, connecting devices, promotional communications and research. The User may withdraw them at any time, although some features may then stop being available.
Functional Answers LLC grants the User a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to download, install and use Healthfoodness solely for personal, non-commercial purposes, on Apple or Android devices that the User owns or is authorized to use, in accordance with the terms of the relevant app store.
This license is not a sale of the app and does not transfer to the User any intellectual property rights in the software. The license remains in effect as long as the User complies with these Terms and may be revoked in case of breach.
The User agrees not to:
If the User downloads or uses Healthfoodness on an Apple product, the following provisions are incorporated into this EULA and apply in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms of Use:
If the User downloads the App from Google Play, the Google Play terms of service apply in addition to these Terms. This EULA is entered into solely between the User and Functional Answers LLC; Google is not a party to this agreement, is not responsible for the App’s content or for its maintenance and support, and does not endorse any recommendation the App makes. Purchases and subscriptions on Google Play are also governed by Google Play’s payment and refund policies.
Healthfoodness is a digital functional-health education platform designed to help users build sustainable habits through evidence-based education, technology tools and personalized tracking. Among other things, it lets you:
Educational and wellness purpose. Healthfoodness is intended exclusively for educational and general wellness purposes. The app is not designed or intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease; it is not a health care service or a clinical diagnostic system, and it does not replace consultation with health professionals.
Personalized plans and recommendations. Personalized plans, reports and recommendations are generated by the App from rules, educational content and automated tools applied to the information the User records. They are not individually prepared for the User by a dietitian, physician or other health professional.
Products and supplements. The App does not sell supplements or other products, whether from third parties or from Healthfoodness LLC, and does not recommend specific commercial brands. Any mention of supplements is for general educational purposes.
Healthfoodness is intended exclusively for people 18 years of age or older in all countries. The User must be at least 18 to create an account, register, access or use Healthfoodness.
There is no exception for the consent of a parent, guardian or legal representative. A person under 18 is not authorized to use Healthfoodness under any circumstances.
By creating an account, the User represents and warrants that they are 18 or older. The App asks for the date of birth when the account is created and will not allow registration to continue if it shows the User is under 18. Functional Answers LLC may suspend or cancel an account when it has reasonable grounds to believe it belongs to a person under 18. The User also must not record in the App health data of people under 18, or of other people, without legal authorization.
To access certain features, the User must create an account by providing the required information. Healthfoodness does not require the User’s legal or real name: the User may use a nickname, initials or another name of their choice as a profile name.
When the User chooses to provide health-related information (symptoms, diagnoses the User says they received from health professionals, medications, allergies, diet, body measurements, lab results or other data), they are responsible for making reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and up to date.
The User is responsible for:
Functional Answers LLC will not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized use of an account caused by the User’s negligence.
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict or cancel accounts when we detect fraud, breach of these Terms, misuse of promotions or subscriptions, illegal activity, attempts to compromise the security of the platform, or any conduct that may affect the operation of the service or other users’ experience.
Deleting your account. The User may delete their account from the App settings, through the account deletion page at functional-answers.com, or by writing to [email protected]. Deletion does not necessarily mean immediate deletion of all information where a legal, regulatory or security obligation requires it to be kept, as set out in the Privacy Policy. Deleting the account does not cancel the subscription: the User must first cancel it in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Depending on the type of access (free or Premium), the App may include: habit tracking; food and drink logging; hydration; physical activity; sleep; symptoms; digestive health; recording and tracking of lab results; body measurements and composition; hormonal health (if the User chooses to record it); guided programs; personalized plans; educational content; artificial intelligence tools; reports; reminders and notifications; personalized goals; and other features that may be developed. Some features will be available only with an active Premium subscription. Changes to features are governed by sections 15 and 26.
Healthfoodness can be downloaded free of charge. Certain features require an active Premium subscription, including: advanced habit tracking, guided programs, educational guides and paths, artificial intelligence tools, personalized plans, advanced reports and analyses, and new Premium features. Availability may vary by country, language, platform, app version or current promotions.
Premium subscriptions are auto-renewing and are managed by Apple through the App Store and by Google through Google Play. The following are currently offered:
Prices may vary by country, currency, applicable taxes, promotions and the commercial policies of Apple and Google. The current price, term and renewal conditions are always those shown to the User in the App Store or Google Play before the purchase is confirmed, together with links to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. Functional Answers LLC does not control currency conversions, taxes or fees applied by Apple and Google.
Functional Answers LLC may offer free trial periods for certain Premium subscriptions. When a free trial is offered:
All purchases made on Apple and Google devices are processed exclusively by Apple and Google. Functional Answers LLC does not store bank card information and does not directly process those payments. By confirming a purchase, the User authorizes Apple or Google to charge the corresponding amount to the payment method linked to their Apple ID or Google account, in accordance with their billing policies.
All Premium subscriptions renew automatically at the end of the purchased period, and renewal continues until the User cancels it. Renewal can be turned off in the Apple ID settings or in Google Play. To avoid renewal, the User must cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple or Google may charge the amount within the 24 hours before the current period expires.
The User may cancel their subscription at any time from their Apple or Google account settings. Cancellation prevents future automatic renewals, and the User keeps Premium access until the end of the period already purchased. Cancellation does not automatically give a right to a refund for the period already paid. Uninstalling the App or deleting the account does not cancel the subscription.
Refund requests for purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are handled under the policies and mechanisms of the relevant platform. The User may start them through the store’s official mechanisms and, where appropriate, contact Functional Answers LLC for purchase-related support. Where Google Play allows the developer to process or assist with a refund, Functional Answers LLC may do so under its policies and applicable law.
Where applicable law gives consumers additional rights (for example, withdrawal or cancellation rights in certain jurisdictions), those rights prevail over this section and are exercised through the relevant store’s mechanism or by contacting Functional Answers LLC.
Functional Answers LLC may change the prices of future subscriptions. Apple and Google will notify changes where required under their policies, and a change will not affect a subscription already paid until its next period begins. The User may cancel before the new price applies.
We will not remove or substantially reduce Premium features during a paid period without giving the User reasonable advance notice. If the change is substantial and detrimental, the User may cancel and, where the store and the law allow, request a refund for the unused period.
Users may restore previously purchased subscriptions with the App’s “Restore Purchases” function, as long as they were made with the same Apple ID or Google account. Restoration depends on verification by Apple or Google, and Functional Answers LLC does not guarantee it where the purchase cannot be verified.
Healthfoodness includes a Smart Assistant that uses artificial intelligence technologies to make educational information on functional health, nutrition, healthy habits and well-being easier to access. It may answer the User’s questions, give educational explanations and general guidance, recommend habits, and offer suggestions to help the User better understand the information they record. Features that use AI are identified as such in the App.
Responses generated by artificial intelligence:
The User acknowledges that any decision about their health should be made together with a health professional where appropriate. Functional Answers LLC does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or continued availability of responses generated by artificial intelligence.
The Smart Assistant is not Mariana Meza or a health professional, does not speak on her behalf, does not represent her, and does not use her image or voice. Its responses are not a consultation.
Functional Answers LLC may use third-party language models and other artificial intelligence technologies to process requests and generate responses. We require those providers to process the information only to provide the service to us and not to use it to train or improve their general models. The User should avoid entering identifiable information that is not necessary, such as ID numbers, financial information, passwords or credentials, and must not provide another person’s personal or health information without authorization.
These Terms do not give Functional Answers LLC a general right to use the User’s identifiable health data, journals, photos, lab results or private conversations to train general artificial intelligence models, whether third-party or its own. Any additional use that requires consent will be disclosed and handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
The User may use the generated responses for personal, non-commercial use. Rights in the App’s technology, algorithms and educational content are governed by section 24.
Healthfoodness is an educational tool. The app does not provide medical care, does not diagnose diseases, does not prescribe treatments, does not issue prescriptions, does not perform medical acts, and does not replace the relationship between a patient and a health professional. All available information is for educational and informational purposes only.
The recommendations, programs, tools, reports, content, Smart Assistant responses and any other information in the app must not be taken as a medical diagnosis, a therapeutic indication, a personalized clinical recommendation or a professional consultation. The User agrees to use Healthfoodness as a complementary education and wellness tool.
Using Healthfoodness does not by itself create a physician-patient, dietitian/nutritionist-patient, therapist-patient or other individual professional relationship between the User and Functional Answers LLC, Healthfoodness LLC, Mariana Meza, the authors of the content, or any collaborator on the platform.
Neither Healthfoodness LLC nor Mariana Meza provides individual professional services to the User merely because the User downloads, accesses or uses the App. Including their name, credentials, methodology, image or materials is not a consultation, diagnosis, treatment, prescription, clinical supervision or acceptance of individual professional responsibility. Any professional relationship with Healthfoodness LLC or Mariana Meza will exist only when formalized through a separate, express agreement for services other than ordinary use of the App.
In case of severe symptoms, medical emergencies or any condition that requires immediate attention, the User must immediately contact a health professional or emergency services. Professional medical care must never be delayed or disregarded based on information obtained through the App.
Healthfoodness may provide recipes, food suggestions, portions, nutritional approaches and other educational guidance based on the User’s information. The User is responsible for checking ingredients, labels, preparation, portions and potential allergens before eating a food or following a recipe. Commercial formulations and labels can change, and Functional Answers LLC does not control the composition of third-party products.
If the User has a food allergy, a severe intolerance, an illness that requires a specific therapeutic diet, pregnancy, an eating disorder or another relevant clinical circumstance, they should consult the appropriate professional. They must not eat a food that they know or suspect may cause an adverse reaction.
Healthfoodness may offer stretching, mobility, cardiovascular activity, strength exercises and other routines for educational and general wellness purposes. Participation is voluntary and at the User’s own risk. Before starting any physical activity, the User should consider their health condition, fitness level, injuries, limitations, pregnancy, pre-existing conditions and the recommendations of their health professionals.
The User must stop exercising if they experience pain, dizziness, fainting, unusual shortness of breath, chest pain, significant weakness or other concerning symptoms, and seek appropriate care. Functional Answers LLC does not guarantee that a routine is suitable for everyone, and it does not replace an individualized medical, physical therapy or professional assessment.
Healthfoodness is not an emergency, crisis or mental health service. The journal, mood tracking and the Smart Assistant do not replace professional care.
If you are thinking about harming yourself or ending your life, or you are in crisis: in the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911; outside the United States, contact your local emergency services. If there is immediate risk, do not wait for the App.
The Smart Assistant may respond with help information when a message suggests risk. Functional Answers LLC does not review conversations in real time and cannot intervene in an emergency.
If the User is pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive or has a hormonal condition, they should consult a health professional before applying diet, supplement or exercise changes suggested by the App. Recording reproductive and hormonal health information is optional, and it is especially sensitive information that is protected under the Privacy Policy.
Healthfoodness lets the User record information related to their health and well-being. Among other things, the User may voluntarily record:
The User represents that they enter this information voluntarily and that it concerns themselves. They may modify or delete it according to the App’s features and the Privacy Policy.
Functional Answers LLC does not independently verify the accuracy of the information recorded. When the User records a diagnosis or medical condition, it is information they say they previously received from a health professional; Healthfoodness does not generate or confirm that diagnosis. The recommendations generated by the App depend on the quality and accuracy of the data provided.
Healthfoodness is primarily a consumer health and wellness app. Direct use of it does not by itself create a professional relationship with Mariana Meza or Healthfoodness LLC and does not, by itself, mean that Functional Answers LLC is a HIPAA covered entity.
Private consultations and individual professional services by Mariana Meza are provided exclusively through Healthfoodness LLC and are independent from ordinary use of the App. When those services are subject to HIPAA, the information created, received, maintained or used in the consultation will be governed by HIPAA, the Notice of Privacy Practices, and the consents, authorizations and policies of Healthfoodness LLC. Signing up for the App is not by itself engaging the professional services of Healthfoodness LLC or Mariana Meza, and a professional relationship separately established with Healthfoodness LLC does not change these Terms with respect to use of the App.
Functional Answers LLC does not receive or process information from the clinical records of Healthfoodness LLC, and Healthfoodness LLC does not receive the App’s Health Data, unless the User expressly and specifically authorizes it. If protected health information is transferred between the two companies in the future, it will be done only in accordance with HIPAA and the applicable agreements.
Healthfoodness may integrate with Apple Health/HealthKit, Health Connect or other compatible platforms or devices that the User authorizes. When the User gives express authorization, the App accesses only the information authorized through the permissions granted, and the User may revoke them at any time from their device settings. Functional Answers LLC uses that information solely to provide the features the User requests.
Apple Inc. and Google LLC do not take part in developing the educational content, recommendations, programs or analyses generated by Healthfoodness and do not endorse any recommendation issued by the App. Use of Apple Health/HealthKit and Health Connect is also governed by the policies and terms of Apple and Google.
Some features may be used as part of authorized research studies. Participation is always voluntary, requires separate informed consent, and may be subject to additional documents such as research protocols, specific authorizations and confidentiality agreements. These Terms do not replace those documents.
Ordinary use of Healthfoodness does not automatically turn the User’s information into research data. When identifiable data or individual-level data are used for research, the relevant specific consents, authorizations and documents will apply. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a specific research protocol, the terms of the informed consent will prevail with respect to the research.
The User retains ownership of the information they record within Healthfoodness. By using the platform, the User grants Functional Answers LLC a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit and use that information solely to:
This license ends when the information is deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy, except where there is a legal obligation to retain certain records. It does not, by itself, authorize the sale of personal data, the use of identifiable health information for targeted advertising, or the general training of artificial intelligence models.
Functional Answers LLC may use aggregated or de-identified information for security and fraud prevention, statistical analysis and general trends, measuring how the service performs, and improving products and features. Individual-level data, even if de-identified, will be used for research or scientific publications only with the User’s research consent and in accordance with the applicable protocol. Aggregate product statistics may be published as long as they do not allow an individual or small groups to be identified.
When Functional Answers LLC treats information as de-identified, it will apply reasonable measures to prevent re-identification and will not attempt to link it again to a person, except where the law allows it for security, compliance or validating the de-identification processes. Where the law requires additional consent for certain processing, it will be requested beforehand.
All intellectual property rights relating to the App belong exclusively to Functional Answers LLC or its licensors, unless expressly stated otherwise. This includes the app, software, source code, interface, designs, logos, trade names and trademarks, educational programs and content, text, images, videos, infographics, algorithms, artificial intelligence models, databases, technical documentation, downloadable materials, reports and personalized plans. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property right to the User.
The name, image, credentials and methodology of Mariana Meza, creator of the Functional Answers™ method, belong to her and are used in the App under license. The User acquires no right in them.
Except with the express written authorization of Functional Answers LLC, the User may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, market, sell, sublicense, modify, translate, create derivative works from, or use for commercial purposes the content available in Healthfoodness. Any unauthorized use may give rise to legal action under applicable law.
To protect the security, stability and integrity of Healthfoodness, the User agrees not to:
If Healthfoodness adds features that connect users with each other, we will publish additional conduct rules. Functional Answers LLC may suspend or cancel the account of any User who breaches these provisions.
Functional Answers LLC makes reasonable efforts to keep the App available, but does not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or operating system version. Availability may be affected by maintenance, updates, failures of third-party providers, connectivity problems and events beyond our reasonable control.
We may develop new versions and updates to add, modify or remove features, fix errors, improve security and optimize performance. Some features may require the latest version of the app. Free features may change without prior notice. Changes to Premium features are governed by section 15.
Functional Answers LLC may suspend or cancel the User’s access where there is a breach of these Terms, fraud, misuse, requests from competent authorities, or risks to the security of the service or of other users. Where reasonable and legally possible, we will notify the User. Termination of the account does not end obligations that by their nature should remain in effect, and it does not cancel the subscription, which must be canceled in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Healthfoodness is provided “as is” and “as available.” Functional Answers LLC does not guarantee that the app will be error-free, that the service will be uninterrupted, that recommendations will be suitable for everyone, that the information will be completely free of inaccuracies, or that it will meet all of the User’s expectations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Functional Answers LLC disclaims any express or implied warranty that is not expressly set out in these Terms.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Functional Answers LLC, its officers, employees, affiliates, suppliers and collaborators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, Healthfoodness. This includes, among other things, loss of data, revenue or opportunities, business interruption, health-related decisions made by the User, errors generated by artificial intelligence, and failures of third parties such as Apple, Google or service providers.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF FUNCTIONAL ANSWERS LLC ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP, THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY THE USER FOR THE APP DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. If the User made no payments during that period, liability will be limited to the minimum amount, if any, that applicable law requires and that cannot be excluded. This cap is cumulative for all claims relating to the same Service.
The exclusions and limitations in this section do not apply where, or to the extent that, applicable law prohibits limiting or excluding certain liability, including mandatory consumer rights, willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence, personal injury or other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
HEALTHFOODNESS LLC, MARIANA MEZA AND THE PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK FOR HEALTHFOODNESS LLC ARE NOT CONTRACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF FUNCTIONAL ANSWERS. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, they are released from liability for claims, damages, losses, decisions, consequences or disputes arising from access to or use of the App, subscriptions or payments, general educational content, automated tools, artificial intelligence, habit recommendations, exercise routines, data entered by the User, third-party integrations, or decisions the User makes based on the Services. This release refers exclusively to access to and ordinary use of the App, does not modify or replace obligations that may arise from an independent professional relationship expressly contracted with Healthfoodness LLC, and is not intended to exclude liability that mandatory law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Functional Answers LLC, its officers, employees, affiliates and collaborators from reasonable third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from: breach of these Terms; misuse of the App; violation of third-party rights, including recording other people’s data without authorization; or false information provided by the User.
Functional Answers LLC may update these Terms for legal, regulatory, technical or commercial reasons. The date of the last update appears at the beginning of this document.
When changes are substantial, we will inform the User in the App or by email at least 30 days in advance and will ask them to affirmatively accept the updated Terms. If they do not accept, they may stop using the Services, delete their account and cancel their subscription. For non-substantial changes (such as corrections or clarifications), continued use of the App after they take effect constitutes acceptance. Before using sensitive data for a new purpose, we will request consent where the law requires it.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights of the User that cannot be waived by contract.
Before starting any proceeding, the parties will try in good faith to resolve any dispute: the User may write to [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable time. If it is not resolved, the dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of the State of Florida, unless applicable law gives the User a mandatory right to bring it in another forum.
Consumers outside the United States. If the User is a consumer and resides in the European Union (including Spain), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile or another country whose law gives them mandatory consumer and data protection rights, those rights prevail over any provision of these Terms that limits them, including the right to go to the courts or authorities of their country of residence where the law permits. In the European Union, the User has the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital services, except where the law allows it to be lost because the service began with the User’s express and informed consent. The limitation of liability in section 29 does not apply to the extent those laws prohibit it.
