Terms of Use
The two things that matter most:
1. FortyWeeks provides reminders and general information only — it is not medical advice. Its schedule is based on guidelines from mainland China; practice where you live may differ. Always follow your own doctor or midwife.
2. Everything you record in FortyWeeks belongs entirely to you and stays on your iPhone. We cannot access it, so we cannot recover it for you — please keep backups.
Welcome to FortyWeeks (四十周, “the App”), developed and provided by TODO: developer name (“we”, “us”). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the App. These Terms supplement it.
The App’s interface and content are currently in Simplified Chinese.
1. What the App is
The App is a pregnancy calendar and journal organised by week of pregnancy. After you set your pregnancy start date once, it places common check-ups, screenings, lab tests, paperwork and preparations on a week-by-week calendar, and lets you record your mood, notes and photos for each day.
2. Not medical advice — please read
- All content in the App is provided for reminders and general information only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace the judgment of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Whether and when to have any test or check-up is a decision for you and your doctor.
- If you experience bleeding, abdominal pain, fluid leakage, a noticeable decrease in fetal movement, or anything else that worries you, seek medical care immediately. Do not delay because of anything shown in the App.
- The schedule is based mainly on publicly available guidelines from mainland China, including the Chinese Medical Association’s Guideline for Preconception and Prenatal Care and the National Health Commission’s Work Specification for Maternal Health Care. The tests offered, their timing and local practice may differ in your country or region. Follow the arrangements of your local healthcare providers.
- The App groups items into categories such as “routine”, “optional” and “as indicated”. These categories summarise the guidelines above and do not mean anything is legally required or prohibited. For example, whether to have an “optional” screening is an informed choice you make together with your doctor.
- Weeks of pregnancy and the due date are estimated from the date you provide and may differ from your actual situation. Your doctor’s assessment (usually based on ultrasound) takes precedence.
- We try to keep the content accurate, but medical knowledge and local practice change over time. We do not guarantee that the content is complete, accurate or suitable for your circumstances.
3. Your content belongs to you
- All content you create in the App — including your pregnancy start date, item status, notes, moods and photos — belongs entirely to you. Your use of the App does not give us any right, licence or ownership over this content.
- This content is stored only on your device, and we cannot access it. This also means we cannot back it up or recover it for you. If you delete the App or clear all data in the App, the content cannot be restored. We recommend turning on iCloud Backup on your iPhone.
- For how we treat your information, see the Privacy Policy.
4. Licence to use the App
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control. You may not use the App for any unlawful purpose, or reverse engineer, redistribute or sell it, except where applicable law expressly permits.
We retain all rights in the App itself, including its design, the selection, arrangement and wording of its content, and its icon.
5. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
- The App is provided “as is”. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or meet your particular needs.
- To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App — including, without limitation, loss of data and the consequences of any decision made based on the App’s content.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
6. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time and will change the “Last updated” date above when we do. We will let you know in the App about significant changes that affect your rights. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
7. Contact
