ProtoPep is a personal organizational tool, not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, recommend, prescribe, or facilitate the use of any substance. Any decision to obtain, reconstitute, or inject anything is yours alone, made with your healthcare provider. If you can't agree to that framing, don't use the app — uninstall it and request a refund through Apple.
By tapping "I understand" on the Disclaimer screen during onboarding, by continuing to use ProtoPep, or by purchasing a subscription, you accept these Terms of Service ("Terms") and the Privacy Policy. These Terms form a binding contract between you and Anthony Le (doing business as ProtoPep). Apple is not a party to these Terms except as a third-party beneficiary under §3.
These Terms are between you and:
Anthony Le, an individual developer doing business as ProtoPep.
Mailing address: 2818 Kramer Lane, Austin, TX 78758, United States.
Email: aanthonyle28@gmail.com
Apple Developer Program identifier 3DA26945KY; bundle identifier com.anthony.ProtoPep.
References to "ProtoPep," "we," "our," or "us" in these Terms mean Anthony Le doing business as ProtoPep. References to "you" mean the individual person who has installed and uses the app.
ProtoPep is a personal organizational tracker for self-administered injectable peptides and GLP-1 medications. It runs entirely on your iPhone. Its features include: schedule and protocol planning, vial inventory tracking, an arithmetic utility for reconstitution math, an injection-site body map, weight tracking via HealthKit, local dose reminders via the iOS notification system, and optional sync to your private iCloud database.
ProtoPep is not a medical device, a drug-dosage calculator, a diagnostic tool, a clinical decision support tool, a pharmacy, a supplier, or a substitute for a licensed healthcare provider. ProtoPep does not endorse, recommend, sell, supply, prescribe, source, broker, or facilitate the use of any peptide, medication, supplement, or other substance. ProtoPep records the values you choose to enter, the same way a paper notebook would.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ProtoPep grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the ProtoPep app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and only in compliance with these Terms, Apple's Usage Rules, and applicable law.
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ProtoPep, and not between you and Apple Inc. ProtoPep, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content. These Terms may not provide for usage rules for the app that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Apple App Store terms in effect as of the date you obtained the app. To the extent of any conflict, the Apple terms control.
ProtoPep is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the app.
ProtoPep is solely responsible for any product warranties for the app, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed in §4 below. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are ProtoPep's sole responsibility.
You and ProtoPep acknowledge that ProtoPep, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including those arising in connection with the app's use of the HealthKit framework or any other Apple framework or technology; and (d) any other claim relating to your interaction with any peptide, medication, or other substance you choose to track.
You and ProtoPep acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of the app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, ProtoPep, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app, including any terms applicable to Apple services and to PostHog (our analytics processor — see the Privacy Policy) when you enable optional analytics.
You and ProtoPep acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
ProtoPep does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescription, dosing recommendations, or any other form of clinical guidance. ProtoPep does not establish a doctor-patient, pharmacist-patient, or other professional-care relationship between you and Anthony Le, ProtoPep, or any of their affiliates. ProtoPep does not endorse, recommend, sell, supply, prescribe, source, or facilitate the use of any peptide, medication, supplement, or other substance.
The features of the app — including scheduling, logging, the reconstitution math utility, inventory tracking, body-map injection logging, and weight tracking — are organizational utilities and nothing more. You agree to consult a qualified licensed healthcare provider before starting, changing, or stopping any peptide, medication, supplement, or protocol, and before relying on any value displayed in the app.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ProtoPep disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from ProtoPep shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these terms. ProtoPep does not warrant that the app will meet your requirements, operate uninterrupted, be secure or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
The app integrates with third-party services described in the Privacy Policy — Apple (CloudKit, StoreKit, HealthKit, App Store), PostHog (optional analytics), GitHub Pages (status check), and your email client (for feedback). ProtoPep is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, or terms of those services. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.
ProtoPep includes a reconstitution math utility that computes a volume from concentration inputs you supply — for example, milligrams of substance plus milliliters of bacteriostatic water, producing a volume in milliliters or insulin units, and the inverse. This utility is a calculator, not a dosing recommendation. It does not know what substance you are reconstituting, how concentrated it actually is, whether your inputs are accurate, whether the result is appropriate for you, or whether you should be reconstituting or injecting anything at all. It performs basic arithmetic and displays a number.
You agree that:
ProtoPep offers in-app purchases through Apple's App Store. The plans offered as of the effective date of these Terms are:
Current prices and details are displayed in the app and on the App Store before purchase. A free tier of ProtoPep is available with limited functionality (one active schedule and three vials, subject to change). You may use the free tier indefinitely without subscribing.
Monthly and Annual subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time by going to iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iOS device.
If you start a free trial of the Annual subscription, the trial ends seven days after activation. If you have not canceled by the end of the trial, you will be charged the then-current Annual price and the subscription will renew annually thereafter. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase the underlying subscription before the trial ends.
All payments are processed by Apple Inc. or its affiliates, who act as the merchant of record for all in-app purchases. ProtoPep does not directly collect, store, or process payment card or billing information.
All refund requests for App Store purchases must be made directly to Apple. ProtoPep is not able to process refunds for App Store purchases. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support. ProtoPep does not guarantee that Apple will grant any specific refund request.
ProtoPep may change the price of any subscription. Apple will notify you of any auto-renewal price increase in accordance with applicable Apple policies before charging the increased price, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.
You may cancel any auto-renewing subscription at any time through your Apple ID settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to Pro features until that period ends.
Apple is responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable sales tax, VAT, or other transactional taxes on App Store purchases. Prices shown may or may not include such taxes depending on your jurisdiction. Because Apple is the merchant of record, ProtoPep cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases. If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer without first attempting to resolve it through Apple, ProtoPep may suspend or revoke your access to Pro features pending resolution, and ProtoPep is not liable for any resulting loss of access.
ProtoPep is local-first. Data you enter — schedules, vials, dose logs, injection-site logs, weights, notes — is yours. It is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework and, if you enable iCloud sync, in your own iCloud account's private database. ProtoPep does not maintain a server, does not collect a copy of your data on any infrastructure controlled by Anthony Le, and does not share your data with any third party except as described in the Privacy Policy.
You retain all rights, title, and interest in your data. You may export your data at any time using the in-app Export feature. You may delete your data at any time using the in-app Delete All Data feature, which (when its iCloud toggle is enabled) propagates the delete to your iCloud private database. Uninstalling the app removes the local copy; the iCloud copy persists until you remove it.
The full description of what data ProtoPep processes and why is in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
This license does not grant you any right to:
Any use outside the scope of this license is a material breach of these Terms and terminates this license automatically.
The app, including the "ProtoPep" name and logo, the app's design and user interface, the in-app artwork, the source code, the database schema, the algorithms (including the reconstitution math), the icon set, and all other materials provided as part of the app, are the property of Anthony Le and are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved.
"ProtoPep" is a trademark of Anthony Le. You may not use the ProtoPep name, logo, or any confusingly similar mark in any product, service, marketing material, or domain name without prior written permission. SF Symbols are property of Apple Inc., used under Apple's standard developer license.
The app incorporates the PostHog Analytics SDK under its open-source license terms, and may incorporate other third-party software libraries from time to time. A list of third-party components is available on request.
Feedback license. If you send ProtoPep suggestions, comments, ideas, or other feedback about the app ("Feedback"), you grant ProtoPep a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, modify, distribute, and exploit the Feedback in any way, without compensation or credit to you. You waive any moral rights in the Feedback. Do not send Feedback you do not want used this way.
DMCA notices. If you believe content in the app infringes your copyright, send a written notice to aanthonyle28@gmail.com meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512.
You represent, warrant, and covenant that, at all times you use the app:
You acknowledge that the reconstitution, handling, injection, and use of peptides, GLP-1 medications, and similar substances carries inherent risks, including but not limited to risk of infection, adverse reaction, allergic response, regulatory exposure, contraindication with other medications, and personal injury or death. You voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks. You agree that ProtoPep does not warn you of, mitigate, or protect you from any such risk, beyond providing a passive logging tool you have chosen to use.
ProtoPep does not endorse, recommend, promote, prescribe, supply, sell, deliver, ship, source, broker, refer, or in any way facilitate the acquisition or use of any Substance. ProtoPep does not have a business relationship with any pharmacy, compounder, supplier, broker, or vendor of any Substance. Any reference within the app to the generic name of a Substance (for example, "semaglutide," "tirzepatide," "BPC-157") is provided solely so that you can label your own records and is not a recommendation, advertisement, or solicitation. The app contains no pre-filled dose values for any non-FDA-approved Substance.
Certain GLP-1 medications are available through compounding pharmacies under the FDA's enforcement-discretion framework while drug-shortage status applies, and other peptide and hormone substances are not FDA-approved for human use. The FDA's enforcement posture on compounded GLP-1 medications has changed over time and may change again. You acknowledge that:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Anthony Le (doing business as ProtoPep), and his successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:
The Indemnified Parties may, at their option, assume exclusive control of the defense of any claim subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate at your expense.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall ProtoPep, his affiliates, or any of their respective officers, employees, agents, or service providers be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or use, arising out of or in connection with the app, these terms, or your use of or inability to use the app, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not ProtoPep has been informed of the possibility of such damage.
In any event, ProtoPep's total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the app or these terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid ProtoPep through Apple in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by ProtoPep's negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) willful injury, fraud, or violations of law under California Civil Code §1668; or (iv) any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Termination by you. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device. If you have an active subscription, you may cancel through your Apple ID settings as described in §6.
Termination by ProtoPep. ProtoPep may suspend or terminate your license to use the app at any time, with or without notice, if (a) you breach these Terms, (b) you misuse the app in a way that creates legal risk for ProtoPep, (c) Apple removes the app from the App Store, or (d) ProtoPep discontinues the app.
Effect of termination. On termination, your license to use the app ends immediately. The following sections survive: §3 (Apple schedule), §4.2 (warranty disclaimer), §5 (calculator disclaimer), §9 (intellectual property and feedback license), §10 (substance representations, assumption of risk, and indemnification), §11 (limitation of liability), §14 (dispute resolution and arbitration), §15 (governing law and venue), §16 (general provisions), and any other section that by its nature should survive.
ProtoPep may modify these Terms from time to time. The version and effective date at the top of this page reflect the latest revision. Non-material changes (typo corrections, clarifications, contact-information updates) take effect immediately on posting.
Material changes — including changes to the arbitration agreement, the limitation of liability, your data rights, subscription pricing, or the substantive scope of the license — will be announced via an in-app banner and a prompt requiring you to affirmatively re-accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the app. If you do not accept the updated Terms, your license to use the app ends and you may delete the app and (if applicable) cancel your subscription through Apple.
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.
If you have a dispute with ProtoPep, you agree to first email aanthonyle28@gmail.com with a description of the dispute and your contact information. ProtoPep will attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. You may not begin arbitration or file a lawsuit until at least sixty (60) days after sending that notice, except for a claim seeking only injunctive relief or a claim filed in small-claims court.
You and ProtoPep agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the app (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, except for Disputes that qualify as small-claims-court matters (see §14.5) or that seek public injunctive relief in California (see §14.6).
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (as updated, including the May 2025 amendments), available at adr.org/consumer. The seat of arbitration shall be Los Angeles County, California; however, you may elect to participate in any hearing telephonically or via video at no additional cost to you. The arbitrator shall apply California substantive law.
You and ProtoPep agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action or proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court if the action is within that court's jurisdiction (currently up to $12,500 in California) and proceeds only on an individual basis.
If a court determines that California law applies and that the class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a claim for "public injunctive relief" within the meaning of McGill v. Citibank, N.A., 2 Cal. 5th 945 (2017), then the claim for public injunctive relief shall be severed and proceed in court, while all other Disputes (including damages claims) shall remain subject to individual arbitration under this section.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver. To opt out, send a written notice by email to aanthonyle28@gmail.com with the subject "ProtoPep — Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating: (a) the email associated with your Apple ID or the last four digits of your most recent App Store transaction, (b) your decision to opt out of arbitration, and (c) your name. If you opt out, all other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect, and any Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of Los Angeles County, California, under §15.
Nothing in this section waives your right to file an administrative complaint with a government agency, including the Federal Trade Commission, the California Attorney General, the Washington Attorney General under the My Health My Data Act, or any equivalent regulator.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Nothing in these Terms deprives you of consumer-protection rights you are entitled to in your jurisdiction that cannot be waived by contract. In particular:
Subject to the arbitration agreement in §14, any Dispute that proceeds in court (because you opted out of arbitration, because the Dispute qualifies for small-claims court, or because the Dispute is severed for public injunctive relief) shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You and ProtoPep consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any subscription terms displayed in the app or App Store at the time of purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and ProtoPep regarding the app and supersede any prior agreement or understanding.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
ProtoPep's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other right.
You may not assign these Terms or any rights under them. ProtoPep may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any successor in interest or acquirer of the ProtoPep business.
Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events outside its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, labor strikes, government action, changes in applicable law, internet or telecommunication outages, outages of the Apple App Store, iCloud, StoreKit, or other Apple services, outages of third-party service providers (including the app's analytics provider), or any similar event. The affected party will resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
Notices to you from ProtoPep may be provided through an in-app banner, an entry in the revision history at the bottom of this page, or an email to an address you have provided. Notices to ProtoPep from you must be sent to aanthonyle28@gmail.com.
