Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Avo family of parenting apps and of our websites. They replace the separate terms that previously applied to each app individually.

Who we are. The Avo apps are operated by Avo Parenting, a sole trader based in Istanbul, Türkiye ("we", "us"). You can reach us at linasoft2021ee@gmail.com.

1. Which apps and sites these Terms cover

These Terms apply to:

• Avo — Pregnancy & Food Tracker ("Avo Pregnancy")
• Safely: Baby Start Solids BLW ("Avo Starting Solids")
• Avo Baby Tracker
• Baby & Kids Photo Editor: Avo ("Avo Studio")
• The website at avoparenting.com
• The website at blwrecipes.com ("BLW Recipes"), our open recipe library

By downloading, installing, or using any of them, these Terms apply to you automatically, so please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not use the apps.

BLW Recipes has no accounts and nothing to subscribe to, so the sections below on accounts, acceptable use, subscriptions, and billing apply to it only where they can. Sections 2 (Not medical advice), 5 (Intellectual property), 11 (Disclaimers and limitation of liability), and 13 (Governing law) apply in full. Data collected by that site is described in its own privacy notice at blwrecipes.com/en/privacy.

2. Not medical advice

This is the most important section of these Terms.

The Avo apps provide general nutritional and parenting information. They are not a doctor, a midwife, a dietitian, or a pediatrician, and they do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

All content, food safety ratings, and AI-generated insights are for informational and educational purposes only. Using the apps does not create a patient–client relationship. Never rely solely on an Avo app to make decisions about your health, your pregnancy, or your child's feeding.

Always consult your doctor, obstetrician, midwife, pediatrician, or another qualified healthcare professional about your specific circumstances — especially regarding allergies, gestational diabetes, food intolerances, restricted diets, and when introducing solid foods to an infant. Never disregard professional medical advice because of something you read in an Avo app.

If you think you or your child may be having a medical emergency or an allergic reaction, contact your local emergency services immediately.

3. Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the apps. The apps are designed for parents and expectant parents; they are not directed at children.

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us at linasoft2021ee@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, or create derivative versions of the apps;
• attempt to extract, decompile, or reverse-engineer the source code;
• translate the apps into other languages without permission;
• use the apps for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that could damage, disable, or impair the service;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the service, other accounts, or our systems;
• submit content that is illegal, harmful, abusive, or that infringes someone else's rights.

Photos you upload to Avo Studio

Avo Studio makes pictures of real people from photographs you provide, so this part matters more than the rest of this section. You confirm that, for every photo you upload:

• it is a photo of you, of a child you are the parent or legal guardian of, or of someone who has agreed to you using their photo this way;
• you have the right to use it — it is not someone else's copyrighted photograph;
• it is not a photo of a public figure, a stranger, or anyone who has not agreed.

And you agree not to use what the app produces to impersonate anyone, to suggest a family relationship that does not exist, or to mislead people about who someone is or what they have done.

We may refuse a photo. The app checks that a picture contains a real human face and is suitable for a family app, and declines it otherwise. That check errs towards letting things through, so it refusing something is not an accusation — pick another photo.

The Community in Avo Starting Solids

The Community tab lets parents share photos of their baby's meals, short captions, stories and comments with other parents who use the app. What you post there is visible to other Avo users under the display name you choose, until you delete it or we remove it. Stories disappear on their own after a short time.

What belongs there. The Community is about food: plates, meals, first tastes and how feeding is going. Photos of your baby or child are welcome when they are about food — eating, trying something new, a messy first meal. Only post photos you took yourself and have the right to share.

What is not allowed. Do not post:

• nudity, or photos taken while bathing or changing a diaper;
• sexualised or exploitative content involving children;
• photos of children you do not have permission to share;
• children in dangerous or humiliating situations;
• family or lifestyle photos that are not about food;
• harassment, hate, spam, advertising, links or contact details;
• anything illegal, or that infringes someone else's rights.

Community guidelines. Before your first post, story or comment, the app asks you to accept the Community guidelines, a short summary of these rules. The guidelines and these Terms apply together; where they differ, these Terms apply.

Moderation. Every photo and every piece of text is checked by an automated system, which uses Google's AI services, before it appears, and some content is also reviewed by a person. We may decline, hide or remove any content, and suspend or end your access to the Community, if we believe it breaks these rules or puts a child at risk. Anyone can report a post, comment or story, and you can block other users. Content that exploits children is removed, and we may report it to the relevant authorities.

Your content and our licence. You keep ownership of what you post. By posting it, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, resize and automatically translate it into other languages, so that other users can see it in the app. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies we must keep for a limited time for moderation, safety or legal reasons.

Not advice. Posts and comments are other parents' experiences, not medical advice (see section 2). For allergies, choking risks and health questions, follow Avo's food information and your paediatrician.

5. Intellectual property

The apps, the website, and all trademarks, copyright, database rights, and other intellectual property rights in them belong to Avo Parenting. You get a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the apps for your own private, non-commercial purposes. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

Content you create in the apps (your logs, notes, and photos) remains yours. You grant us only the permission we need to store, process, and display it back to you as part of providing the service.

Recipes you save from other websites and apps

Avo Starting Solids lets you save a recipe from a link you paste or share — from a website, or from a post on Instagram, TikTok or a similar service. What you save is a private copy for you and the members of your Avo family. It is not published, it is not shared with other Avo users, and we do not use it for any other purpose.

The recipe text, photos and videos on the page you save belong to the person who made them. Saving a recipe gives neither you nor us any rights to that content beyond keeping a personal, non-commercial copy. We keep no copy of the photo: it stays only on the phone that saved the recipe, and other members of your family see the recipe's ingredients instead. The app shows the creator's name and a link back to the original wherever it can.

You are responsible for what you choose to save, and you agree not to use saved content in any way that infringes the rights of its creator.

Rights holders. If you believe content saved into Avo infringes your copyright, email linasoft2021ee@gmail.com with a link to the original, a description of the content, and your contact details. We will remove the content and reply to you. Saved recipes are not a searchable library, so a specific link helps us act quickly.

Images Avo Studio creates for you are yours to use, including publicly and on social media, for personal and commercial purposes alike. We claim no ownership of them and we do not need a licence back from you beyond storing them so they appear in My Creations. Two honest caveats:

• We cannot grant you a copyright nobody holds. In several countries, including the United States, an image generated by a model without meaningful human authorship may not be copyrightable at all. That is the law's answer, not ours, and it means we cannot promise you an exclusive right in a generated picture.
• The same theme may produce a similar picture for someone else. Every user starts from the same scenes, so a result is not unique to you and we do not promise it will be.

Free results carry a small repeated watermark; a subscription removes it. Removing or obscuring the watermark on a free result is not permitted.

6. Your device, connectivity, and third-party charges

It is your responsibility to keep your device and your access to the apps secure. We recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your device — doing so can expose it to malware, compromise its security features, and stop the apps working properly or at all.

Some features — including AI meal analysis and the Avo Agent chat — require an active internet connection. We cannot take responsibility for the apps not working at full functionality when you have no Wi-Fi or mobile data available.

If you use the apps over mobile data, your network provider's standard charges apply, including roaming charges if you use the apps outside your home territory without turning off data roaming. You accept responsibility for those charges. If you are not the bill payer for the device, we assume you have the bill payer's permission.

Equally, we cannot take responsibility for how you use the apps — for example, if your device runs out of battery and you cannot open the app when you need it.

7. Third-party services

The apps rely on third-party services, each with its own terms:

We rely on third parties for some of the information we make available to you. While we work to keep the apps accurate and up to date, we accept no liability for loss, direct or indirect, arising from relying wholly on this functionality.

8. AI-powered features

The apps include artificial intelligence features — meal photo analysis in Avo Pregnancy, the "Avo Agent" chat assistant and image analysis in Avo Starting Solids, and every generated picture in Avo Studio — powered by Google's AI services. By using them you acknowledge and agree that:

1. No medical advice. The AI is a software tool, not a medical professional. Its responses are generated from patterns in data, not medical expertise. Never rely on it for diagnoses, emergency advice, allergy assessments, or managing conditions such as gestational diabetes.
2. Accuracy and hallucinations. Generative AI can produce incorrect, misleading, or entirely fabricated information ("hallucinations"). We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or safety of any AI output. You are responsible for evaluating it before acting on it.
3. Your content. You are responsible for what you submit. In Avo Pregnancy and Avo Starting Solids, please upload only photos of meals and food — in the Community, a photo may also show your child when it is about food (see section 4) — and do not put illegal, harmful, or highly sensitive information (such as payment card details) into a chat. In Avo Studio, upload only photos you are entitled to use — see section 4.
4. A generated picture is imagination, not prediction. This is the one we most want you to read. "Future Baby" does not forecast what your child will look like. "Kid Grown Up" does not show how they will age. A themed portrait is not a photograph of an event that happened. These are pictures a model invented from the features in the photos you gave it, they will differ every time you ask, and they are for fun and for keepsakes — never as evidence of what anyone looks like, who they are related to, or how they will turn out.
5. Likeness is not guaranteed. We do not promise that a generated image will resemble the person in your photo to any particular degree, and results vary with lighting, angle and image quality.
6. The look-alike comparison is entertainment. "Who Do I Look Like" produces a playful percentage from facial measurements taken on your own device. It is not a paternity, parentage or genetic test, it says nothing about biological relationships, and it must not be used or presented as if it did.
7. Availability. AI features depend on cloud providers. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability and accept no liability for interruptions or errors in the AI service.

9. Subscriptions and billing

The apps operate on a freemium model: core features are free, and some features require a paid subscription. We will never charge you without making clear exactly what you are paying for.

What is free, and what a subscription adds (Avo Studio)

• "Who Do I Look Like" is free forever, with no limit. It runs on your own device and costs us nothing to provide.
• Making AI photos is limited without a subscription. You get a small number of free generations, and some features are not available on the free tier at all. Free results carry a small watermark. The exact free allowance can change — we tune it — so we do not state a number here that we might quietly move.
• A subscription removes the watermark and opens every theme and tool, up to the fair-use limit below.

Fair use

Each photo costs us real money to generate, so a subscription is generous rather than unlimited. Every billing period includes an allowance, currently 50 photos a week on the weekly plan and 200 a month on the monthly plan — set to roughly the same rate on purpose, so that choosing the cheaper-per-week plan does not buy you a tighter cap.

The allowance is reset at each renewal, not accumulated: unused photos do not roll over into the next period. If you reach it, photo generation pauses until your next period begins; nothing else about the app stops working. We may change these limits, and if we reduce them we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.

This is a genuine cap, not a formality, and we would rather you learn it here than discover it at the moment you are stopped.

• Payment. Subscription payments are charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you turn auto-renewal off.
• Cancelling. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel in your device's account settings (Apple ID or Google Play) at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
• Prices. Avo Studio is offered at USD 4.99 per week or USD 5.99 per month, or the equivalent in your local currency as your app store sets it. The store shows you the exact price before you confirm.
• Free trials. Avo Studio does not currently offer one. If any app offers a free trial in future, you will be charged automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand, and starting a paid subscription before a trial ends forfeits any unused trial time.
• Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple and Google, so refunds are subject to their policies. If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or another jurisdiction with statutory withdrawal rights, those rights are unaffected.

10. Changes to the apps, and termination

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the apps at any time. The apps are currently available on iOS and Android; system requirements may change, and you will need to install updates to keep using them. You agree to accept updates when offered.

We may terminate your access at any time if you breach these Terms. On termination, the licence granted to you ends and you must stop using the apps and, if asked, delete them from your device. You can stop using the apps at any time and may request deletion of your data as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the apps.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, you keep all mandatory rights granted by the consumer protection law of your country of residence, and nothing here overrides them.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we publish the new version at https://avoparenting.com/legal/terms with a new effective date, and the previous version remains available under "Previous versions" on that page. For significant changes we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in the apps. Continuing to use the apps after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Istanbul, Türkiye.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts and to the protection of mandatory local consumer law, that right is unaffected by this section.
