**Last updated:** May 18, 2026
**Effective date:** May 18, 2026
These Terms of Service ("**Terms**") are a binding agreement between you ("**you**", "**your**") and **Llama Studios** ("**Llama Studios**", "**we**", "**us**", "**our**") governing your access to and use of the **PepBud** mobile and desktop applications, any related websites at `pepbud.app`, and any associated services (collectively, the "**Service**").
**Please read these Terms carefully.** By downloading, installing, accessing, or using PepBud, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our [Privacy Policy](https://pepbud.app/privacy). If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Service.
> **IMPORTANT — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.** PepBud is an informational and personal record‑keeping tool. It is **not** a medical device, is **not** intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or condition, and does **not** provide medical advice. See **Section 4 (Medical Disclaimer)** below.

## 1. Eligibility
1.1 You must be **at least 18 years old** (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to create an account, complete onboarding, or otherwise use the Service. By using PepBud you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
1.2 You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract and must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction or any jurisdiction whose laws apply to you.
1.3 You are responsible for ensuring that your use of PepBud complies with all laws, regulations, and rules that apply to you, including those governing the possession, importation, prescription, sale, distribution, and administration of peptides, hormones, supplements, and any other substances you choose to log in the Service.
---
## 2. The Service
2.1 **What PepBud is.** PepBud is a private, on‑device companion app that helps users keep an organized journal of self‑reported information related to peptides and related substances they may be using. Features may include, without limitation:
- a personal library of compounds, schedules, vials, reconstitution math, and injection‑site rotation tracking;
- a log of self‑reported doses, side effects, weight, and nutrition;
- local notifications and reminders;
- charts, trend summaries, and pharmacokinetic visualizations derived from the data you enter;
- optional integration with Apple HealthKit;
- optional synchronization across your own devices via Apple's iCloud / CloudKit.
2.2 **Informational and organizational use only.** All calculators, visualizations, schedules, recommendations, and analyses produced by PepBud — including reconstitution math, dose suggestions, half‑life curves, rotation prompts, side‑effect summaries, and trend lines — are provided for **informational and personal record‑keeping purposes only**. They are not, and must not be relied on as, clinical guidance.
2.3 **No PepBud accounts; no PepBud servers in the data path.** PepBud is designed to be privacy‑first. Your records are stored on your device and, if you choose, synchronized through **your own Apple iCloud account** using Apple's CloudKit. Llama Studios does not operate servers that store your dose, weight, nutrition, side‑effect, or other personal log data. We may, however, use third‑party services to provide ancillary functionality (see **Section 8**).
2.4 **Changes to the Service.** We may add, remove, change, or discontinue features at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Service without notice or liability.

## 3. License
3.1 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Llama Studios grants you a **personal, limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable, revocable license** to download and use one copy of the PepBud application on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non‑commercial use.
3.2 The Service, including all software, content, design, branding, text, graphics, logos, marks, code, and the compilation thereof, is owned by Llama Studios or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other intellectual‑property laws.
3.3 **You may not:**
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, port, or create derivative works of the Service;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Service, except to the extent these restrictions are prohibited by applicable law;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make the Service available to any third party;
- remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
- use any data mining, robot, scraper, or similar gathering or extraction methods on the Service;
- use the Service to build, train, fine‑tune, or evaluate any machine‑learning or artificial‑intelligence model or dataset, except expressly with our prior written permission;
- use the Service to develop a competing product or service.
3.4 If you are using the Service from the Apple App Store, you also acknowledge that your license is further subject to the **Usage Rules** in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions (see **Section 16**).

## 4. Medical Disclaimer
4.1 **PepBud is not a medical device, is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.** The Service has not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or any other regulatory authority.
4.2 **No doctor–patient relationship.** Use of PepBud does not create any physician‑patient, pharmacist‑patient, or other professional relationship between you and Llama Studios, its affiliates, employees, contractors, or agents. We are not licensed medical or pharmacy professionals and we are not your healthcare provider.
4.3 **Always consult a qualified healthcare professional** before starting, stopping, or changing any medication, supplement, peptide protocol, diet, exercise plan, or other course of treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read, calculated, or logged in PepBud.
4.4 **Reconstitution and dosing calculations** produced by the Service depend entirely on the values you enter. Errors in the data you enter — including but not limited to compound concentration, BAC water volume, syringe units, or vial contents — will produce incorrect results. **You are solely responsible for verifying every calculation with a qualified professional before acting on it.**
4.5 **Research‑use and legality.** Many peptides and related substances are sold or labeled for "research use only" and may not be approved for human consumption in your jurisdiction. The possession, importation, distribution, prescription, sale, and self‑administration of such substances may be regulated or prohibited where you live. **You are solely responsible** for determining the legal status of any compound you log and for complying with all applicable laws. Use of PepBud to track such substances does not constitute encouragement, endorsement, or recommendation by Llama Studios.
4.6 **Emergencies.** PepBud is not designed for, and must not be used in, medical emergencies. If you think you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or seek immediate care from a qualified professional. Do not use the Service to communicate, request, or wait for emergency assistance.

## 5. Acceptable Use
5.1 You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree **not** to:
- violate any applicable law, regulation, or third‑party right;

## 6. Your Data
6.1 **You own your data.** All data you enter into PepBud — doses, vials, schedules, weight entries, nutrition entries, side effects, notes, profile information, etc. — is yours. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to train any machine‑learning model.
6.2 **Where your data lives.** Your data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your data is replicated through your private iCloud / CloudKit container under your Apple ID. **Llama Studios does not host, access, read, or back up your personal log data.** Apple's terms and privacy policy govern your iCloud storage.
6.3 **Sign‑out and deletion.** If you sign out of iCloud or switch Apple IDs, your data remains on the device on which it was entered. You may delete the application at any time, which will remove the on‑device copy. Deletion of iCloud data is performed through Apple's controls.
6.4 **Export.** Where the Service provides a data export feature, the exported file is provided "as is" for your personal use. You are responsible for the security and handling of any exported file once it leaves the Service.
6.5 **Privacy.** Our collection and processing of any personal information related to your use of the Service — for example, crash diagnostics, anonymous in‑app analytics events (if enabled), or subscription receipts — is described in the [Privacy Policy](https://pepbud.app/privacy), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
---
## 7. HealthKit
7.1 If you grant PepBud permission to read from or write to **Apple HealthKit**, you authorize us to access only the specific health data types you approve in iOS Settings or the in‑app permission sheet.
7.2 HealthKit data accessed by PepBud is used solely to provide functionality within the Service (for example, weight trends, body‑measurement context). PepBud:
- will not use HealthKit data for advertising or other use‑based data mining;
- will not disclose HealthKit data to third parties for advertising or marketing;
- will not sell HealthKit data to any third party.
7.3 You may revoke HealthKit permissions at any time from iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → PepBud.

## 8. Third‑Party Services
8.1 The Service integrates with or relies on certain third‑party services, including without limitation:
- **Apple Inc.** — App Store distribution, in‑app purchases, StoreKit, iCloud / CloudKit synchronization, HealthKit, push and local notifications.
- **RevenueCat, Inc.** — receipt validation and entitlement management for subscriptions.
8.2 Your use of any third‑party service through PepBud is also subject to that third party's terms and privacy policy. Llama Studios is not responsible for the acts, omissions, content, products, or services of any third party.
8.3 Links from the Service to third‑party websites are provided for convenience. We do not endorse and are not responsible for those sites.
---
## 9. Subscriptions, Trials, and Payments
9.1 **Free and Premium tiers.** PepBud offers a free tier with limited features and a paid **PepBud Premium** subscription that unlocks additional features. The features included in each tier may change from time to time.
9.2 **Subscription options.** As of the effective date of these Terms, Premium is offered in:
- **Monthly** — recurring monthly subscription (product ID `com.llamastudios.pepbud.premium.monthly`), with an introductory price for the first billing period where available; and
- **Annual** — recurring yearly subscription (product ID `com.llamastudios.pepbud.premium.yearly`), with a free introductory period (e.g., 3 days) where available.
Current prices, durations, and introductory offers are shown inside the app at the point of purchase. Prices may vary by region and may change with notice as permitted by Apple.
9.3 **In‑app introductory trial.** Independently of any Apple‑provided free trial, the Service may offer a short in‑app trial (e.g., 3 days) that exposes Premium‑gated features. The in‑app trial is not a contract for paid service, does not bill your Apple ID, and ends automatically. After it ends, Premium features are gated until you subscribe.
9.4 **Billing through the App Store.** All purchases are processed by **Apple** through your App Store account. Apple's terms govern your purchase. By subscribing, you authorize Apple to charge the payment method on file for the applicable subscription fee, plus any taxes, at the start of each billing period.
9.5 **Auto‑renewal.** **Subscriptions auto‑renew** at the then‑current price for the same subscription period unless you cancel **at least 24 hours before the end of the current period**. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
9.6 **Managing and cancelling.** You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in **Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions** on iOS (or the equivalent on macOS). Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
9.7 **Refunds.** All purchases are handled by Apple and are subject to **Apple's refund policy**. Llama Studios cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases. Refund requests should be submitted to Apple via `https://reportaproblem.apple.com`.
9.8 **Free trials and introductory offers.** Where a free trial or introductory offer is provided, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid recurring subscription at the regular price at the end of the trial unless you cancel before the trial ends. Eligibility for introductory offers is determined by Apple.
9.9 **Restore purchases.** If you reinstall the app or sign in on a new device, you may restore an active Premium entitlement using the "Restore Purchases" control in the app.
9.10 **Price changes.** We may change subscription prices from time to time. Apple will request your consent to a material price increase before charging you, in accordance with App Store policies.
9.11 **Loss of Premium does not lock your data.** If your subscription lapses, your existing records remain readable and exportable. Premium‑gated analytics and features will be unavailable until you resubscribe.

## 10. Feedback
10.1 If you send us suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback about the Service ("**Feedback**"), you grant Llama Studios a **perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty‑free, sublicensable license** to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without compensation or attribution.

---
## 16. Apple App Store
If you obtained the Service from the **Apple App Store**, the following additional terms apply, and prevail over any conflicting provisions of these Terms:
16.1 These Terms are between you and Llama Studios only, **not with Apple**. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
16.2 The license granted to you in Section 3 is limited to a non‑transferable license to use the Service on any Apple‑branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the **Usage Rules** in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Service may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing — except where the subscription is non‑family‑shareable as configured by Llama Studios.
16.3 **Maintenance and support** of the Service is solely Llama Studios's responsibility. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Service.
16.4 **Warranty.** Llama Studios is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the Service to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service.
16.5 **Product claims.** Llama Studios, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service, including (a) product‑liability claims, (b) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
16.6 **Intellectual property.** In the event of any third‑party claim that the Service or your possession and use of the Service infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Llama Studios, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
16.7 **Legal compliance.** You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16.8 **Third‑party beneficiary.** You acknowledge and agree that **Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third‑party beneficiaries** of these Terms, and that, 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 thereof.

17.2 **Changes.** We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by updating the "Last updated" date above, posting an in‑app notice, or sending an email if we have one on file). Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
