Blobb — Terms of Service
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Arianna Isabelle Panganiban ("we", "us", "our"), the developer and operator of the Blobb mobile application and any related services (together, "Blobb").
By downloading, opening, or using Blobb, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Blobb. Some parts of Blobb are paid subscriptions; Section 9 explains how those work.
How we handle your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
2. Important health notice — please read
Blobb is a general wellness and food-logging app. It is not a medical device, and nothing in it is medical, nutritional, or healthcare advice.
Calorie targets, macronutrient goals, weight forecasts, and any other figures Blobb shows you are automated estimates produced from general formulas and the information you enter. They are not personalised to your medical history and have not been reviewed by a doctor, dietitian, or any other healthcare professional. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prescription, and Blobb cannot detect, prevent, diagnose, treat, or monitor any disease or condition.
You should talk to a qualified healthcare professional before changing your diet, starting a weight-loss plan, or acting on anything Blobb shows you — and you should always do so if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are under 18, have diabetes, kidney or liver disease, a heart condition, a food allergy, or any other medical condition, or take medication that interacts with food or with your weight.
Blobb is not appropriate for the treatment or management of eating disorders or disordered eating, and it is not designed for clinical, diagnostic, or research use. Calorie counting and weight tracking can be harmful for some people. If you are experiencing, recovering from, or at risk of an eating disorder, please do not use Blobb without the guidance of a qualified professional.
Never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you read in Blobb. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
3. Who can use Blobb
3.1 Minimum age and parental permission
You must be at least 13 years old to use Blobb.
If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use Blobb only if your parent or legal guardian has read these Terms and our Privacy Policy and agrees to them on your behalf. In that case your parent or guardian is the person entering into this agreement with us, is responsible for your use of Blobb and for any charges, and consents to our processing of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. By using Blobb, you confirm that this permission has been given. We may suspend or close any account where we believe this requirement is not met.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians of minors to be involved in any decision to track food intake or body weight, and to consult a healthcare professional first.
3.2 Where Blobb is available
Blobb is not offered to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and we do not direct Blobb to those regions. By using Blobb you confirm you are not accessing it from those regions. You are responsible for complying with the laws of the country you use Blobb from, and we make no claim that Blobb is appropriate or available in any particular location.
3.3 Sanctions and export
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a comprehensive United States government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
4. Your account and your data
You can use Blobb without signing in. When you first start using Blobb we create an unnamed account for you automatically, so that your food diary, weight entries, and progress are backed up to our servers from the beginning rather than living only on your device. This account holds no name, email address, or other contact detail — only the information you enter in the app, linked to a randomly generated identifier.
An unnamed account is tied to the app on that device. If you delete Blobb, lose your device, or switch phones, we have no way to identify you and cannot restore your data.
To protect against that, you can connect Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google at any time from Settings. Doing so attaches that identity to the account you already have — your existing data stays exactly where it is and nothing is moved or lost — and lets you sign in and recover your data on another device. We rely on Apple and Google to verify who you are; your use of those sign-in services is also governed by their own terms. You can disconnect an identity later, though that may leave you unable to recover your data.
You are responsible for keeping access to your account secure and for everything done through it. Tell us at ari.pang07@gmail.com if you believe it has been used without your permission.
You may delete your account and the data held with it at any time from within the app or by emailing us. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription — see Section 9.5. Our Privacy Policy explains what we store, for how long, and who processes it on our behalf.
5. Nutrition information and its limits
5.1 Where the numbers come from
Food and nutrient information in Blobb comes from three kinds of sources:
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's FoodData Central, accessed through its public API. This data is provided by the USDA. The USDA does not endorse Blobb, and we are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or approved by the USDA or any other government agency.
- Restaurant nutrition information, used in the Restaurant tab. In the United States, chains above a certain size are required to publish the calorie and nutrient content of their standard menu items. We collect that published information — at present largely by way of a third-party aggregator that compiles it, rather than from each chain directly — which means it can be out of date or wrong at the source, and we have no way to verify it against the food itself. Restaurant and brand names are the trademarks of their owners, are used only to identify their published menu items, and do not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from those businesses.
- Content created by users, including meal templates — see Section 6.
How Blobb turns your profile into a calorie target — the equations, where they come from, and where our own judgement replaces a published value — is set out at blobb.app/methodology.
5.2 Accuracy
Nutrition data is inherently approximate. Values vary between batches, suppliers, preparation methods, and portion sizes; source databases contain errors and go out of date; restaurants change recipes without updating what they publish; and your own logged portions are estimates. Blobb also converts and normalises source values into consistent units, which introduces rounding.
We therefore make no promise that any nutrition figure in Blobb is accurate, complete, or current, and you should not rely on Blobb for any purpose where accuracy matters medically. In particular, Blobb must never be used to identify allergens, to detect ingredients you must avoid, or to calculate a medically prescribed intake such as carbohydrate counting for insulin dosing. Always check the product's own packaging and labelling, and confirm with the manufacturer or restaurant.
6. Meal templates and other content you share
6.1 What is public
Your food diary, weight entries, and personal statistics are private to you. However, when you publish a meal template, that template — including its name and the foods and quantities it contains — becomes visible and searchable to all other Blobb users. Publishing is optional and always your choice. Do not put your name, contact details, health information, or anything else you would not want made public into a template you publish.
6.2 The licence you give us
You keep ownership of the content you create. By publishing a meal template or otherwise submitting content to Blobb, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, format, translate, publish, distribute, and display that content in connection with operating, improving, and promoting Blobb. This licence lasts for as long as the content is on our service and for a reasonable period afterwards to allow for backups and to permit continued use by users who have already saved a copy. We do not owe you payment or attribution for it.
6.3 What you promise
You confirm that you have the right to grant the licence above, and that your content is not unlawful, misleading, offensive, or a breach of anyone else's rights — including intellectual property rights in recipes, menus, photographs, or nutrition data you did not create or have no right to share.
Do not use someone else's brand or product name as a template name — a published template is searchable by every Blobb user, and naming one after a restaurant chain or packaged product uses that business's trademark. Describe the food instead. We remove templates that do this under Section 6.4.
6.4 Moderation and takedown
We do not pre-screen published templates and we do not verify their nutritional accuracy. Templates published by other users are their content, not ours, and we do not endorse them. We may remove or unpublish any content, at any time and without notice, if we believe it breaches these Terms or is otherwise harmful. If you believe content on Blobb infringes your rights, email ari.pang07@gmail.com with enough detail to identify the content and your claim, and we will review it.
7. Aggregated and de-identified data
We may create aggregated and de-identified data from how people use Blobb — for example, average weight change across all users, how many meals are logged, or which foods are logged most often — and we may use and publish that data for any purpose, including improving Blobb, research, statistics, marketing, and advertising, without owing you compensation.
Aggregated and de-identified data does not identify you, is not linked to your name or account, and we will not attempt to re-identify it or present it in a way that could reasonably identify you. Anything we publish will describe groups of users, never an individual. Our Privacy Policy explains this in more detail.
8. Notifications and messages
If you allow notifications, Blobb sends reminders and updates through Apple and Google push services. You can turn these off at any time in your device settings, though some functional messages about your account or subscription may still be sent by email.
9. Subscriptions, free trial, and payment
9.1 Plans
Blobb offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions. Current prices are:
- Yearly — US$19.99 per year (₱999 per year in the Philippines), including a one-week free trial for new subscribers.
- Monthly — US$2.99 per month (₱149 per month in the Philippines).
Prices in other countries are set by the App Store or Google Play and are shown to you in your local currency before you confirm. The price, plan length, and trial terms shown in the app at the moment of purchase are the ones that apply. Prices include applicable taxes where the store collects them.
9.2 Where you are billed
All subscriptions are sold and billed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, depending on where you downloaded Blobb. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements. We never see or handle your payment details. Your purchase is also governed by the terms of the store you bought it from.
9.3 Free trial
Where a free trial is offered, it is available once per user or per store account. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts automatically into a paid subscription and your store account is charged the then-current price.
9.4 Automatic renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel. Your store account is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends. Renewal continues indefinitely until you cancel.
9.5 How to cancel
You cancel through the store, not through us. On iOS, go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Android, go to Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends, or you will be charged for the next one. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Deleting the app or closing your Blobb account does not cancel a subscription.
9.6 Refunds
Because Apple and Google process the payment, they also process refunds, and their policies govern.
- App Store: we cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases. Request one from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple's decision is final.
- Google Play: use the "Report a problem" option next to the purchase in Google Play or at play.google.com. Google decides requests made within 48 hours of purchase. For requests made after 48 hours, Google passes the request to us and we decide it — we will consider it in good faith and in line with applicable law, and you can also reach us directly at ari.pang07@gmail.com.
Other than as required by law or as described above, payments are non-refundable and partly used periods are not refunded, including where you cancel mid-period, stop using Blobb, or we suspend your account for breaching these Terms. Nothing here limits any refund right you have under the mandatory consumer laws of your country.
9.7 Price changes
We may change subscription prices. Any change applies only to renewals after the change and takes effect at your next renewal. We will give you notice through the app or by email before it applies, and Apple or Google will seek your consent where their rules require it. If you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before your next renewal.
9.8 What a subscription gets you
A subscription gives you access to Blobb's paid features as they exist from time to time. Features may be added, changed, or removed (see Section 12). We do not promise that any specific feature will remain available for the whole of your subscription.
10. Acceptable use
You may use Blobb only for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not:
- break any law, or use Blobb for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
- publish content that is illegal, misleading, harmful, hateful, obscene, or that promotes disordered eating, extreme restriction, or unsafe weight-loss practices;
- post another person's private or personal information;
- scrape, bulk-download, or systematically extract Blobb's food data, templates, or other content, or use Blobb to build or train a competing product, database, or machine-learning model;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent this restriction cannot lawfully be excluded;
- interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to Blobb, our servers, or another user's account;
- use Blobb through automated means, or circumvent any limit, paywall, trial restriction, or security measure;
- resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Blobb or any part of it; or
- remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.
11. Our intellectual property and your licence
Blobb — including the app, the Blobb character and artwork, animations, sounds, name, logo, and the design, selection, and arrangement of its content — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of Blobb on devices you own or control, for your own personal use, in accordance with these Terms and with the usage rules of the app store you downloaded it from. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions, we may use them freely and without obligation or payment to you.
12. Changes to Blobb and to these Terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of Blobb at any time, and we may stop offering Blobb altogether. Where a change is significant and we are able to, we will give you reasonable notice.
We may also update these Terms — for example to reflect new features, or changes in law. When we do, we will change the version date at the top and make the updated Terms available in the app and at this address. If the changes are material we will give you notice in the app or by email before they take effect. Your continued use of Blobb after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using Blobb and cancel any subscription. We keep a record of which version of these Terms you accepted and when.
13. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Blobb and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use is harmful to other users or to us, or if we are required to by law. We may also terminate on reasonable notice if we discontinue Blobb.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5, 6.2, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 — continue to apply after your access ends.
14. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the paragraph below, Blobb is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that Blobb will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of data loss, that defects will be corrected, that any nutrition figure or estimate is accurate, or that using Blobb will produce any particular health, fitness, or weight result. Any result described in our marketing is an example, not a promise; results depend on many factors outside our control.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right, guarantee, or remedy that you have under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), the Civil Code of the Philippines, or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where such a right applies, the disclaimers and limits in these Terms apply only to the extent the law allows.
15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to Section 14's final paragraph:
- we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, however caused, even if we were told such damages were possible;
- we are not liable for any health outcome, injury, illness, or condition arising from your use of Blobb, from acting on any estimate or information it provides, or from any dietary or weight-related decision you make;
- we are not liable for content published by other users, for information published by third parties including the USDA and restaurants, or for the acts or omissions of Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Supabase, or any other third-party service; and
- our total liability arising out of or relating to Blobb, for all claims combined, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for Blobb in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$30.
These limits apply regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based, and they reflect a reasonable allocation of risk given the price of Blobb.
16. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or reasonable cost (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of Blobb, content you publish, or your violation of any law or of anyone else's rights.
17. Apple and Google
17.1 Apple
The following applies if you obtained Blobb from the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for Blobb or its content.
- The licence in Section 11 is limited to using Blobb on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- We alone are responsible for support and maintenance. Apple has no obligation to provide any support or maintenance for Blobb.
- We alone are responsible for any warranty, express or implied, to the extent it is not effectively disclaimed. If Blobb fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price you paid for Blobb, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to Blobb or your possession or use of it — including product liability claims, claims that Blobb fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, claims under consumer protection or similar legislation, and claims arising under health or privacy legislation.
- We, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that Blobb or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
- You confirm you meet the sanctions and prohibited-party requirements in Section 3.3.
- You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using Blobb.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- Our contact details for any question, complaint, or claim are at the top and bottom of this page.
17.2 Google
If you obtained Blobb from Google Play, these Terms are between you and us only, not with Google. Google is not responsible for Blobb, and your download and any purchase are also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Refunds for Google Play purchases are handled as described in Section 9.6.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to Blobb are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
If you have a problem, please email us first at ari.pang07@gmail.com — most issues can be resolved informally, and we ask that you give us 30 days to try before starting formal proceedings.
Any dispute that is not resolved that way will be brought exclusively in the courts of the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines, and you and we submit to the jurisdiction of those courts. This does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring a claim before a consumer body or small-claims court where that right is available to you.
Individual claims only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each agree that any dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. No court or tribunal may consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding involving Blobb. If this paragraph is found unenforceable in relation to a particular claim, then only that claim is severed from this Section 18 and may proceed in court, while the remainder of this Section continues to apply to all other claims.
Any claim relating to Blobb must be brought within one year of the date you first knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to it, except where a longer period is required by law.
19. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about Blobb, and replace any earlier understanding on the subject.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these Terms remain in full force.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
Notices. We may give you notice through the app, by push notification, or by email to the address linked to your account. You give us notice by emailing ari.pang07@gmail.com.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience; the English version governs.
