Last Updated: 6/3/2025
1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Kojo (the "App"), a comprehensive calorie tracking platform operated by IKIGAI DEVELOPMENT LLC ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), a company registered at 2882, 701 Tillery Street Unit 12, Austin, TX, Travis, US, 78702. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Kojo App, including all its features, functionalities, content, and services offered therein (collectively, the "Services").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Kojo App, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree with these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and IKIGAI DEVELOPMENT LLC. You acknowledge that these Terms are a contract between you and IKIGAI DEVELOPMENT LLC, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you and the Company, and it governs your use of the Service.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Terms on this page and/or by sending you an email or other notification as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the App after such modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modified Terms and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for any updates or changes.
2. App Description and Services
The Kojo App provides a comprehensive suite of tools and features designed to assist users in tracking their calorie intake and understanding their dietary habits. The core functionalities of the App include:
- Calorie Tracking: Users can log their food consumption to monitor daily, weekly, and monthly calorie intake against their personal dietary goals.
- AI-Powered Meal Logging: The App incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) to facilitate easy and quick meal logging. Users can input their meals using voice commands or by typing text descriptions. The AI will then attempt to identify the food items and their nutritional information.
- Multi-Item Barcode Scanner: A key feature of Kojo is its advanced barcode scanning capability. Users can scan barcodes of multiple food items simultaneously, similar to an e-commerce checkout process. This bulk entry system is designed to expedite the logging process, making it more efficient than traditional single-item scanning methods.
- Personalized Recaps and Insights: The App provides users with personalized summaries and insights into their dietary patterns and progress towards their goals. These updates are delivered through the App, often featuring the friendly Kojo rabbit mascot, in an engaging and easy-to-understand manner.
- Visual Data Representation: Users can view their dietary data through various visual aids, such as graphs and charts. These visualizations help users better understand their eating habits, track their progress over time, and identify areas for improvement.
The Services are intended for personal, non-commercial use to help users manage their dietary intake and achieve their health and fitness goals more effectively. The Company may, in its sole discretion, update, modify, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice.
