Terms of Service

The rules for using getbased.

Effective 22 April 2026

Important: getbased is not a medical device. It is a tool for tracking and visualising your own health data. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. AI-generated interpretations are not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions based on your lab results, genetic data, or anything else getbased shows you.

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the getbased website at getbased.health, the in-browser application served at getbased.health/app, and any official distribution (referred to collectively as "getbased"). By using getbased you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use it.

getbased is developed and maintained by an individual maintainer operating in the Czech Republic (referred to as "the maintainer").

2. What getbased is

getbased is a free, open-source, privacy-focused web application for tracking and interpreting blood work, genetic data, wearable metrics, and related health information. It runs in your browser, stores your data locally on your own device, and calls third-party services (AI providers, wearable vendors, sync relays) only when you configure them.

3. Not a medical device; not medical advice

getbased is not a medical device. It has not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory authority (FDA, EMA, CE/MDR, SÚKL, or otherwise). It is not certified for clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or any other medical purpose.

Content displayed by getbased — including AI-generated interpretations, genetic findings, trend alerts, supplement suggestions, biological-age estimates, and context cards — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional (physician, licensed dietitian, pharmacist, or other medical authority in your jurisdiction) before making health decisions based on anything displayed by getbased. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read in the app.

AI providers are probabilistic and may generate plausible-sounding but incorrect outputs. Reference ranges differ between labs, populations, and clinical contexts. Genetic variant interpretations change as research evolves.

4. Open source & license

getbased's source code is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3). You are free to use, study, modify, and redistribute the source under the terms of that license. Derivative works must remain GPL-licensed.

The repository lives at github.com/elkimek/get-based.

Third-party libraries bundled or loaded by getbased are licensed under their own terms. The vendor/ directory in the source repository lists them.

5. No account, no subscription

getbased does not require an account. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to suspend, nothing to cancel. You can stop using getbased at any time simply by closing the tab or clearing your browser data. Support for the project is voluntary (donations are optional and governed separately).

6. Third-party services

Features that call external services (AI providers, wearable vendors, sync relays, Knowledge Base servers) are optional and activated only when you configure them. Your relationship with those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. getbased neither mediates nor controls what those services do on their side. See our Privacy Policy for the list of third parties and links to their policies.

If a third-party service is discontinued, changes its API, or revokes your access, the related feature may break. getbased is not liable for those outages.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use getbased for any unlawful purpose, including inputting data you don't have the right to process
Attempt to breach, probe, or disrupt the hosted getbased.health infrastructure, or use the /api/proxy endpoint for anything other than intended AI / wearable traffic
Misrepresent output from getbased as a medical diagnosis or professional advice to others
Distribute derivative works without preserving the GPLv3 license
Automate bulk requests against the hosted service in a manner that denies service to other users
Upload malicious content, spam, or content that infringes anyone's rights

The maintainer reserves the right to block access to the hosted site from specific IP addresses or patterns of abuse. The source is open; you may always self-host if blocked.

8. Warranty disclaimer

getbased is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, security, or non-infringement. You use it at your own risk.

This is consistent with Sections 15 and 16 of the GPLv3 and is a fundamental term of the license under which getbased is released.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the maintainer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, personal injury, or medical outcomes — arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, getbased, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) on which the claim is based.

Because getbased is provided free of charge, no refunds apply; there is no monetary cap on liability simply because there is no monetary consideration.

Statutory rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights you have under applicable mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be waived by agreement. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, your statutory rights (including under the Czech Civil Code and GDPR) are preserved regardless of any clause above.

10. Changes to the service

getbased is under active development. Features may be added, changed, or removed. Version numbers follow semantic versioning; a changelog is kept in-app and in the source repository. Breaking changes are documented; migrations are provided when feasible but not guaranteed.

The hosted getbased.health deployment may be taken offline for maintenance, or discontinued. The source code, released under GPLv3, remains available for self-hosting.

11. Changes to these Terms

If these Terms change, we'll update the Effective date above and note the change in the app's changelog. Continued use after the change means you accept the updated Terms. If a change is material, the app will display it on first launch after the update.

12. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to the courts of the Czech Republic. If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the country where you reside, in accordance with mandatory EU consumer-protection law.

For EU consumers, the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one whose effect is as close as possible to the invalid one's original intent.
