1.3. "User", "you", or "your" means any person accessing or using the Service.

2.1. You accept these Terms by registering, logging in, clicking an acceptance control where shown, using the Service, or otherwise continuing to access the Service after the Terms are made available to you.
2.2. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
2.3. No provision of these Terms excludes or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
3. Eligibility
3.1. You must have legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Service is not directed to children under 13. If the law where you live requires a higher minimum age for independent consent to online services, that higher age applies unless a parent or legal guardian validly authorizes the use.
3.2. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you represent that any required parent or guardian permission has been obtained.
3.3. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction.
4. Accounts, credentials, and sessions

4.3. You are responsible for activity occurring through your account except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
4.4. We may create and maintain technical login sessions, and we may allow you to review or terminate sessions. Sessions may be terminated automatically for security, inactivity, account changes, technical reasons, or suspected misuse.
4.5. We may require email verification or other reasonable verification before enabling some account features.
5. Telegram login, Telegram bot, and Telegram Web App
5.1. The web version of the Service may allow authentication through Telegram. When you choose Telegram login, you authorize Telegram to provide FIBP with signed account information necessary to authenticate you. FIBP does not receive your Telegram password.

5.3. FIBP may create or link a FIBP account and create a normal FIBP session based on a valid Telegram authentication result.
5.4. Telegram is an independent third-party platform. Telegram controls its own account system, applications, availability, security, privacy practices, network, message delivery, and platform rules. FIBP is not responsible for acts, omissions, outages, account restrictions, data processing, or security incidents occurring within Telegram systems.
5.5. FIBP does not have access to your unrelated Telegram conversations, contacts, groups, or channels merely because you use Telegram login or the FIBP bot. Content you intentionally send to or through the FIBP bot or Web App may be processed as necessary to provide the requested FIBP functionality.
5.6. Your use of Telegram remains subject to Telegram's own terms and privacy rules.

The Service may include food photo analysis, voice-based food descriptions, estimated calories and macronutrients, scan history, activity tables, nutrition plans, recipes, comments, reactions, AI-assisted responses, daily water tracking, notifications, virtual scan balances, virtual water or other game units, games, challenges, rewards, partner offers, promotional codes, account management, and other digital functionality.
6.2. Features may differ between the website, Telegram, iOS, Android, or other versions of the Service.
6.3. A feature being available today does not create an obligation to keep it available permanently or in the same form.
7. Informational nature; not medical advice
7.1. FIBP is a general informational, lifestyle, nutrition-tracking, recipe, entertainment, and digital utility service. It is not a physician, dietitian, hospital, medical device, diagnostic system, emergency service, or substitute for qualified professional care.
7.2. Calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, portion sizes, ingredients, hydration targets, nutrition plans, AI responses, recipe information, and similar outputs are estimates and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate for a particular person.
7.3. Nothing in the Service is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or manage any disease or medical condition.
7.4. Do not rely on the Service for emergencies or for decisions where an incorrect result could cause serious harm. Contact a qualified professional when appropriate.

9.2. Automated systems can misclassify food, hallucinate facts, misunderstand speech, infer incorrect quantities, omit ingredients, calculate incorrect nutrition, or otherwise produce wrong or misleading results.
9.3. You must review automated output before relying on it. Editing tools may be provided for convenience but do not guarantee correctness.
9.4. We do not guarantee that any automated result will be accurate, unique, complete, lawful, suitable, safe, or fit for any particular purpose.
10. Nutrition plans and hydration tracking
10.1. Nutrition plans may be produced from information you provide, including body measurements, age, gender selection, activity level, goals, preferences, or similar inputs. They remain informational estimates and are not individualized medical prescriptions.
10.2. Hydration values and default goals are convenience features. A displayed goal such as 2 liters per day is not a medical recommendation for every person. Actual needs vary.
10.3. You are responsible for determining whether a plan, calorie target, macro target, or hydration target is appropriate for you.
11. Free usage, limits, and quotas
11.1. FIBP may provide free scans, free usage allowances, weekly or periodic resets, promotional usage, trials, bonus attempts, or other no-charge functionality.
11.2. We may change limits, reset schedules, eligibility, feature availability, or abuse-prevention rules at any time, subject to mandatory law.
11.3. Free allowances have no cash value and do not create a debt or financial obligation owed by FIBP to you.

13. Games, challenges, and promotional rewards
13.1. FIBP may provide games, challenges, achievements, rankings, daily activities, random reward mechanics, or promotional campaigns.

13.4. We may invalidate results obtained through technical abuse, bots, manipulation, fraud, exploits, or other unfair methods.
14. Digital purchases and payments
14.1. Some digital functionality may be purchased through Apple App Store, Google Play, Telegram Stars, or other supported payment mechanisms.
14.2. Prices, taxes, currencies, payment confirmation, billing, chargebacks, refunds, and payment credentials may be handled by the relevant platform or payment provider under its own rules.
14.3. FIBP generally does not receive your full payment-card details from platform-based purchases.
14.4. Digital purchases are non-refundable except where a refund is required by law or available under the rules of the platform through which the purchase was made.

15.5. Public content may be viewed, copied, screenshotted, indexed, or redistributed by other users or third parties. We cannot guarantee removal of copies outside systems we control.

16. Partner offers, discounts, and external merchants
