Purpose of Chick
Last updated: 14 July 2026. This Disclaimer forms part of the Chick Terms of Use.
Chick helps users understand food, calories, protein, nutrients, movement, sleep, planning, weight trends, social eating, triggers, and progress. It is designed for everyday education, reflection, planning, and practical guidance.
The purpose is not to turn real life into a laboratory or to replace professional advice. The purpose is to help you see useful direction and patterns in everyday choices.
Not medical or professional advice
Chick does not provide medical, nutritional, psychological, fitness, dietetic, clinical, emergency, or other professional advice. Chick does not diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, monitor, or manage any disease, injury, eating disorder, mental health condition, allergy, pregnancy concern, or medical condition.
Chick does not replace a doctor, dietitian, nutritionist, personal trainer, therapist, pharmacist, or other qualified professional. You should not start, stop, or change medication, treatment, diet plans, exercise plans, supplements, fasting, or medical care because of Chick.
If you have symptoms, pain, injury, severe restriction, binge eating, purging, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, pregnancy concerns, diabetes concerns, allergic reactions, or any urgent health issue, seek appropriate professional or emergency help. Do not rely on Chick for emergencies.
AI can make mistakes
Chick uses AI and automated systems. AI can misunderstand text, photos, audio, portion sizes, brands, recipes, labels, routines, body context, goals, and user intent. AI can produce confident-sounding answers that are wrong.
AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, biased, outdated, delayed, unavailable, or unsuitable for your situation. They may change as models, prompts, features, datasets, providers, and product logic change over time.
You should treat Chick as a helpful assistant, not an authority that must be obeyed. You must check important information before relying on it.
Nutrition, calories, portions, and food estimates
Calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, macros, custom nutrients, serving sizes, and portion weights in Chick are estimates unless explicitly stated otherwise. Even official labels and restaurant nutrition data can vary.
Home cooking, portion size, oil, sauces, cooking method, hidden ingredients, brand changes, label errors, recipe differences, and user input can materially change the numbers. Chick cannot guarantee exact values.
Chick is more useful when used to compare direction and build understanding than when treated as a precise measurement system.
The practical purpose of Chick is to help users understand direction, context, and patterns. Small numerical differences may be less important than understanding the type of food choice, the likely direction of the estimate, and the wider pattern over time.
You should check labels, ingredients, allergens, portion sizes, medical advice, and safety-critical information yourself. Do not rely on Chick for allergy, medication, clinical, pregnancy, eating-disorder, diabetes, kidney, heart, emergency, or other high-risk decisions.
Photos, scans, and voice input
Photo, scan, and voice features depend on image quality, lighting, angle, packaging visibility, brand recognition, spoken clarity, background noise, and how much information you provide.
A photo of food rarely proves exact ingredients, hidden oils, cooking method, portion weight, allergens, or recipe details. When accuracy matters, check the product label, weigh or measure the food, use a trusted source, or manually adjust the entry.
Photos, scans, and voice input can be unclear, incomplete, misread, mistranscribed, distorted, or affected by lighting, angles, background items, packaging, accent, noise, missing context, or user correction. Chick may make reasonable assumptions, but those assumptions can be wrong.
Targets, trends, and reports
Calorie targets, protein targets, nutrient goals, weight trend explanations, trigger reports, daily briefs, grocery suggestions, next-meal ideas, social plans, and progress reports are decision-support tools. They are not guarantees and are not personalised medical prescriptions.
Weight and progress can change because of water, salt, hormones, digestion, menstrual cycle, stress, sleep, training, medication, illness, alcohol, travel, and many other factors. A trend can be useful, but it is not the whole truth about health.
If a target or report feels unsafe, extreme, inappropriate, or worrying, stop using it and seek qualified advice.
AI access, fair use, and availability
AI features are subject to availability, fair use, safety controls, abuse controls, capacity controls, cost controls, provider limits, maintenance, and technical limits. Chick does not promise unlimited AI use, unlimited requests, unlimited uploads, unlimited storage, guaranteed response times, or uninterrupted access.
We may limit, delay, filter, suspend, or refuse AI outputs or feature access where we reasonably believe this is needed for safety, reliability, cost control, abuse prevention, payment integrity, legal compliance, or service protection. We are not required to publish operational thresholds, operational controls, prompts, model settings, or security rules.
Your responsibility when using Chick
You are responsible for your choices, your health, your safety, and how you use Chick. Use common sense, check important information, correct entries where possible, and avoid using Chick in ways that are unsafe, obsessive, or extreme.
If you are trying to manage a medical condition, pregnancy, eating disorder risk, underweight status, professional athletic plan, allergies, medication, or other high-risk situation, use Chick only with qualified professional guidance.
Continuous improvement and changing outputs
Chick is improving over time. Models, prompts, food logic, nutrient data, reports, feature design, and provider arrangements may change as the product develops.
Changes may improve the service, but they may also change how Chick behaves, what it displays, how it estimates information, and which features are available. User corrections and feedback are useful, but they do not create a duty for us to make a change, accept a correction, preserve a feature, or guarantee future accuracy.
A previous output, estimate, target, report, message, or recommendation should not be treated as a permanent promise or as proof that future outputs will be identical.
Acceptance
By using Chick, you accept that Chick provides guidance and estimates, that AI can make mistakes, that features may be limited or unavailable, and that you remain responsible for checking important information and making your own decisions.
