These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Morning Meds website, app and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

1. Who we are

Morning Meds ("Morning Meds", "we", "us", "our") provides a personalized feed of medical research article summaries, primarily for medical residents, doctors and students.

Morning Meds is currently operated by an individual based in Portugal. You can contact us at support@morningmeds.co.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. The Service is primarily intended for healthcare professionals, medical residents, and students.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information when creating and maintaining your account.
• We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or used the Service in an unlawful, abusive or harmful way.

3. Description of the Service

Morning Meds aggregates medical research articles (for example, from PubMed and similar sources), generates summaries using automated systems, and provides a personalized feed of articles and summaries based on your preferences and feedback.

The Service may include features such as:

• Personalized article recommendations and summaries
• Daily or periodic email digests of summaries
• Feedback tools (e.g. like / dislike, save)
• Premium subscription features

We may modify, expand or reduce the features of the Service at any time (for example, adding new functionality or discontinuing certain features).

4. No medical advice

Morning Meds is for educational and informational purposes only. The Service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical decision-making.

• The summaries and recommendations are based on published research and automated processing and may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.
• The Service does not take into account individual patient data, clinical context, or local protocols.
• You must not use the Service as a substitute for professional medical judgment, guidelines, or supervision.

You remain solely responsible for all clinical decisions and for complying with local laws, regulations, and institutional policies. If you are not a healthcare professional, you must not use Morning Meds to make decisions about your health or anyone else's health.

5. Subscriptions, billing and payments

Morning Meds may offer a free plan and one or more paid subscription plans (e.g. "Premium"). Details of current plans, limits and prices are shown in the app or on our website and may change from time to time.

• Paid subscriptions are billed through our payment provider (such as Stripe) using the payment method you provide.
• By starting a paid subscription, you authorize us and our payment provider to charge your payment method on a recurring basis (e.g. monthly), until you cancel.
• Your plan status (free / premium) is managed by us based on information from our payment provider (for example, subscription "active", "trialing" or "canceled").
• We may change subscription fees or plan features in the future. Any changes will normally apply from your next billing period, and we will try to give you reasonable notice where possible.

Refunds are handled at our discretion and in accordance with applicable law. If you believe there is an error with your billing, please contact us promptly at support@morningmeds.co.
