Terms of Service

Health Path is a wellness and self-reflection app. You use it to check in with your mood, keep a private journal, note what you ate if you want to, and get gentle movement ideas. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. Section 3 explains this properly — please read it, especially if food or eating feels difficult for you right now.

Health Path is provided by Gabriela Stancheva, a private individual based in Bulgaria (“we”, “us”, “Health Path”). Health Path is not currently registered as a company or sole trader — it is run by one person.

You can reach us at:

By creating an account or using Health Path, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please don’t use the app.

We may change these terms only for one of the following reasons, and no other:

• to comply with a change in the law that applies to us;
• to reflect a genuine change or addition to how the app works;
• for security reasons, to protect the app or its users;
• to correct an error, or make the terms clearer, without reducing your rights.

When we do, here is how you’ll hear about it. Health Path has no server and cannot send you a push notification or an email — the app never transmits anything, and any email address you’ve entered stays on your own device. So we can only reach you the way the app itself works: by showing you the change inside the app.

• The next time you open Health Path after we’ve prepared a change, we will show you a notice you have to actively read and dismiss before you can keep using the app.
• The new terms take effect at least 30 days after that notice was first shown to you — not 30 days after we decided to make the change, and not on a fixed calendar date you might never see.
• If you don’t open the app for a long time, you simply won’t have accepted anything yet. The clock only starts once you’ve actually seen the notice.
• If you keep using Health Path after the new terms take effect, that counts as accepting them.
• If you don’t agree with a change, you can stop using the app and delete your data at any time, free of charge, before the change takes effect.

We will never treat your continued use of the app as acceptance of a change we haven’t actually shown you inside the app.

This is the most important section of this document. Please read it carefully.

3.1 A wellness and self-reflection tool — not a medical device

Health Path is designed for lifestyle and wellbeing purposes. It helps you notice how you’re feeling, keep a private log, and reflect. It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, monitor, prevent or treat any illness, disease, disorder or condition, including any eating disorder. It does not evaluate your entries and hand back a judgement, a warning, or a risk score of any kind — everything you log is simply stored and shown back to you, unchanged, for your own reference.

Nothing in Health Path is medical advice. It is general information and a space for your own reflection, not personal advice tailored to your situation. Any decision you make based on something in the app is your own, made using your own judgement.

3.2 Not an emergency or crisis service

Health Path does not monitor what you write for signs of risk, and nobody reviews your entries. It is not built to respond in a crisis, and it cannot get help to you.

If you are in immediate danger, or worried about your safety, please contact one of these instead:

These lines are free and available even if you don’t feel it’s “serious enough.” You don’t need a diagnosis or a reason to call.

3.3 If you have, or are recovering from, an eating disorder

Please read this before you use the food-logging feature. If you have an eating disorder, or are recovering from one, we’d encourage you to talk to your doctor, therapist or another clinician you trust before you start logging food in this app — they know your situation, and we don’t.

The calorie and gram numbers in Health Path are completely optional and off by default. You never have to turn them on, and if you do, you can turn them off again at any time, just as easily. Nothing in the app changes, restricts or judges what you do based on whether this feature is on or off.

If logging food, in any form, ever feels like it’s making things harder rather than easier — we would gently suggest stepping away from that part of the app, and talking to someone.

3.4 General information, not personal advice

Any content in Health Path — articles, movement suggestions, food-group lists, the numbers feature — is general information, curated and fixed, and is not personalised advice about you. We do not use what you log to generate individual recommendations, warnings or advice back to you. Relying on anything in the app is done at your own judgement, not ours.

You must be at least 16 years old to use Health Path. By using the app, you confirm you meet this age.

If we learn that someone under 16 is using Health Path, we will close that account and delete the data attached to it within 5 working days.

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Health Path on your own device, for your own personal, non-commercial use. We may only end this licence in the circumstances, and subject to the notice, set out in Section 11 — this licence is not revocable at will.

You agree not to:

• copy, resell, rent, lease or sub-license the app;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other notice in the app;
• use the app to build a competing product;
• try to circumvent any technical limit in the app — for example artificially unlocking a paid feature without paying for it, once paid features exist.

You may decompile or reverse-engineer parts of the app only to the extent this is expressly permitted by mandatory law for the purpose of achieving interoperability with another independently created program. We don’t purport to take that right away from you, because EU software law says we can’t.

Keep your password to yourself, and use an email address only you can access. Because your account lives only on this device and there is no password-reset mechanism, if you lose your password or your device we cannot recover your account for you — see Section 3 of the Privacy Policy. If you share this device with someone else, they may be able to see anything you’ve entered while you’re signed in.

Anything you write in Health Path — journal answers, diary entries, notes — belongs to you.

We do not receive it, see it, or store it anywhere except on your own device. We claim no licence over it, no right to use it, and no right to show it to anyone, because we technically never have it in the first place. Health Path has no server, and nothing you write is sent anywhere. It stays on your phone, under your control, until you delete it or delete the app.

Everything else in Health Path — the app itself, its design, the articles, the illustrations, the character, the curated food-group lists, and the Health Path name and logo — belongs to us or our licensors, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property law.

You may view and use this content inside the app for your own personal use. You may not copy, redistribute, publish or create derivative works from it without our written permission.

Health Path runs locally on your device. We don’t operate a server for the app to depend on, so there’s no “uptime” for us to promise or fail to meet.

We don’t guarantee that Health Path will always be available, error-free, or compatible with every device or every future version of Android. We also don’t promise that we will keep developing the app, release updates, or release new versions — Health Path is currently maintained by one person, and we want to be honest about what that means rather than promise something we can’t be sure to keep.

If we ever decide to stop supporting Health Path, your existing data stays on your device and under your control regardless. Stopping development doesn’t delete anything you’ve already stored.

This is the most carefully worded section in this document, because Bulgarian and EU consumer law don’t allow anyone to simply say “we’re not liable for anything.” A clause that tried to say that would be partly void — and a partly void clause protects nobody. So here is what actually applies.

What we are not liable for

• indirect or consequential losses — for example lost opportunity, lost enjoyment, or consequential financial loss — arising from your use of the app;
• loss or corruption of data stored only on your own device, including through device loss, theft, damage, factory reset, or you uninstalling the app, because that data is never backed up by us, as there is no server to back it up to;
• anything caused by your own decisions based on the app’s general content, since none of it is personal advice (see Section 3.4).

Where we are liable

For a proven loss caused by our own ordinary negligence or breach of these terms, our total liability to you is limited to EUR 100 — reflecting that Health Path is a free app today. This figure was fixed on {{EFFECTIVE_DATE}} and will only be revised going forward, with 30 days’ notice under Section 2 — never retroactively for a claim that already exists.

This cap applies to claims for damages. It does not limit or replace your right, once you have paid for a feature, to have it brought into conformity, to a price reduction, or to end that specific purchase for lack of conformity. Those remedies exist independently of this cap and cannot be limited by this section.

Where we became aware, through our own research, of a specific risk connected to a feature, and did not implement an available safeguard within a reasonable time, this section does not limit our liability for that delay.

What this section can never limit

Nothing here limits or excludes our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our own act or omission;
• our own fraud or intentional wrongdoing;
• our own gross negligence;
• anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under the law that protects you as a consumer.

Your other statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by this section.

If you break these terms, use the app illegally, or knowingly misuse it in a way that causes us to face a claim, cost or loss from someone else because of that specific misuse, you agree to cover the reasonable, direct cost this causes us. This does not apply to ordinary use of the app as intended, and does not apply to anything that was our fault.

You can stop using Health Path, and delete your account and all your data, at any time, free of charge, from Manage Profile inside the app. Because everything is stored on your device, deleting your account there removes it completely — there is no copy sitting on a server somewhere afterward.

We may suspend or end your access immediately only for a serious reason — for example illegal use of the app, a security risk, or a serious breach of these terms. For any other reason, we will give you at least 14 days’ notice first, shown to you inside the app. Either way, your locally stored data on your own device is never something we can reach or delete remotely. Only you can do that, or uninstalling the app.

If Health Path introduces a paid feature or subscription in the future, the following will apply to that specific purchase.

Price and what you get. Before you pay, we will clearly show the price including any applicable tax, what the purchase gives you, and how payment works, through Google Play’s purchase flow.

Your 14-day right to cancel, and its limit for digital content. As a consumer, you normally have 14 days to cancel a purchase without giving a reason. For digital content that starts working immediately after purchase, EU and Bulgarian law let us ask you to give up that 14-day right in exchange for instant access — but only if we ask clearly, and only if you actively agree. Before you pay, we will show you a separate, unticked checkbox like this:

Buying the feature and ticking this box will be two separate actions — we won’t combine them into one click. If you don’t tick it, you keep your normal 14-day cancellation right, and access may be delayed until that period ends or you separately confirm you want it sooner.

Confirmation. We will show you confirmation of your purchase, including these terms, on a durable record such as a receipt, within a reasonable time.

Refunds. Refunds for purchases made through Google Play are handled under Google Play’s own refund policy, alongside your statutory rights described above.

If you cancel a subscription. You can cancel a renewing subscription at any time through Google Play. It will stop renewing from the next billing period, and you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.

Keeping the feature working. For as long as we offer a paid feature, we will provide it in line with what we described when you bought it, and provide reasonably necessary updates, including security updates, for as long as we continue to offer it.

If we change the price of an ongoing subscription. We will give you advance notice, and you will be able to cancel before the new price applies, free of charge.

These terms are governed by Bulgarian law, and Health Path is provided from Bulgaria.

If you live in Bulgaria, which is where Health Path is offered, any dispute between us belongs before the Bulgarian courts.

If you live elsewhere in the EU or EEA, Bulgarian law still governs these terms, but it does not take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer-protection law of the country where you live. Where that law gives you more protection, that protection still applies to you — we cannot contract out of it, and we are not trying to.

In that case you may bring a claim either in the courts of Bulgaria or in the courts of the country where you live; the choice is yours, and EU law gives it to you regardless of what this document says. We will only ever bring a claim against you in the courts of the country where you live. If a dispute does arise, we may both agree at that point to have it decided in Bulgaria — an agreement made after a dispute has arisen is valid, unlike one made in advance.

If you live outside the EU or EEA, these terms are governed by Bulgarian law, and any dispute may be brought in the courts of Bulgaria, unless the mandatory law of your own country gives you a right to sue elsewhere that we cannot lawfully exclude.

Before going to court, you’re welcome to contact us directly at support@healthpathapp.com — most things can be sorted out without needing to. If you’re a consumer in Bulgaria and we can’t resolve something between us, you can also bring the dispute to:

If you live in another EU or EEA country, you can find your own country’s equivalent dispute-resolution body through the European Commission’s Consumer Redress directory at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu.

If one part of these terms turns out to be invalid, unenforceable, or unfair to you, only that part stops applying — the rest continues to apply in full. We will not replace the invalid part with different wording chosen by us; if a valid replacement is needed, it will only be a provision the law itself supplies, decided by a court or the applicable statute, never by us unilaterally.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about using Health Path. They replace any earlier discussion or version.

If we don’t act on a breach immediately, that doesn’t mean we’ve given up the right to act on it later.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms — for example if Health Path is ever passed to someone else to run — but only in a way that doesn’t reduce your rights under this document. You may not transfer your account or licence to anyone else.

Notices. Health Path has no server, so the only way we can reach you is inside the app itself. We cannot email or push a notification to you, even if you’ve entered an email address, because that address never leaves your device. You can contact us at support@healthpathapp.com.
