Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: September 5, 2026
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Dose mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Avocado Labs ("Dose," "we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account, accessing, or using Dose, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Service.
1. Description of the Service
Dose is a medication reminder and organization application.
Dose allows users to create their own medication schedules and may provide reminders through supported notification, alarm, or messaging features.
Dose does not determine what medication you should take, how much medication you should take, or when you should take it.
You are solely responsible for the medication information and schedules you enter into the Service.
2. Not Medical Advice
Dose is not a healthcare provider and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional medical recommendations.
Nothing in the Service should be interpreted as medical advice or as a substitute for advice from a physician, pharmacist, or other qualified healthcare professional.
Dose does not recommend, prescribe, approve, or endorse any medication, dosage, treatment, or course of action.
Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the labeling or instructions associated with your medication.
If you have questions about a medication, dosage, missed dose, drug interaction, side effect, or other medical concern, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services or seek immediate medical attention.
3. User-Entered Information
You are responsible for ensuring that the medication names, dosages, schedules, reminder times, and other information you enter into Dose are accurate.
Dose does not independently verify the information you enter.
You should review your medication schedule and reminder settings carefully and update them whenever your medication instructions change.
4. Reminders Are Not Guaranteed
Dose is intended to provide reminders, but Dose does not guarantee that any reminder will be delivered, displayed, audible, or received at a particular time.
Reminders may fail or be delayed for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Your device being turned off
- Battery depletion
- Notification permissions being disabled
- Alarm or notification settings
- Focus, Do Not Disturb, or similar settings
- Operating-system restrictions
- Device manufacturer restrictions
- Lack of internet or cellular connectivity
- Software bugs or crashes
- Application updates
- Operating-system updates
- Network failures
- Third-party service failures
- SMS delivery failures
- Incorrect contact information
- Carrier restrictions
- Other circumstances outside our reasonable control
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backup methods for remembering or managing your medications.
Dose should not be your sole method of ensuring that you take medication on time.
5. No Guarantee of Medication Adherence
Dose cannot guarantee that you will take a medication, take it at the correct time, take the correct amount, or follow instructions provided by a healthcare professional.
Dose records actions you take within the application. A record that a reminder was marked "Taken" does not independently verify that medication was actually taken.
6. User Accounts
Certain features may require you to create an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity occurring through your account.
You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful purposes
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except where permitted by applicable law
- Abuse notification, SMS, or other communication features
- Use the Service to distribute harmful or malicious content
- Circumvent security or access controls
- Use the Service in a manner that could damage or impair the Service or other users' access to it
8. SMS and Communications
If you voluntarily enable SMS reminders, you authorize Dose and its messaging providers to send reminder messages to the number you provide.
Message frequency depends on your reminder settings.
You are responsible for providing an accurate telephone number and maintaining control of the number associated with your account.
You may disable SMS reminders through available settings or applicable opt-out mechanisms.
9. Availability and Changes to the Service
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue portions of the Service at any time.
We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or operating-system version.
We may release updates, including security and functionality updates, that may be necessary for continued use of the Service.
10. Third-Party Services
The Service may depend on third-party services, platforms, operating systems, networks, authentication providers, messaging providers, payment processors, and other infrastructure.
We are not responsible for failures, interruptions, changes, or limitations caused by third-party services.
11. Subscriptions and Purchases
Certain features may require payment.
If you purchase a subscription, payment and renewal terms will be presented to you at the time of purchase and may also be governed by the terms of the applicable app store or payment provider.
Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions may automatically renew until canceled.
You may cancel recurring subscriptions according to the applicable platform's cancellation procedures.
Refunds are subject to the applicable app store, payment provider, and applicable law.
12. Intellectual Property
The Service and its content, including software, design, trademarks, graphics, text, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Dose and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
These Terms do not grant you ownership of the Service or its intellectual property.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.
DOSE DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT REMINDERS WILL ALWAYS BE DELIVERED OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE FREE FROM BUGS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELAYS, OR ERRORS.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DOSE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.
15. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dose and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from:
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your misuse of the Service
- Information you provide through the Service
- Your violation of another person's rights
- Your violation of applicable law
16. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time.
We may suspend or terminate access to the Service when reasonably necessary, including for violations of these Terms, security concerns, fraud, abuse, or legal requirements.
Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective.
17. Governing Law
These Terms will be governed by the laws of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
Any dispute-resolution provisions should be reviewed and customized for the jurisdiction in which Dose operates.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time.
If we make material changes, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.
