Terms of Use
Last updated: 5 October 2026
These terms cover this website (heystead.com), early-access sign-ups, and the Stead app while it’s in early access. Stead is still being built, so expect changes — we’ll update this page and the date above when these terms change.
Using this site and the app
By using heystead.com or the Stead app you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use them. How we handle your information is covered in our Privacy Policy.
Early access
Asking for early access registers your interest in Stead. It is not a purchase, a contract, or a promise of access by any particular date. We’ll email you when your spot is ready.
Your data and your device
Stead has no account or password — your data is tied to your device. If you lose the device or delete the app, you lose access to that data. You can export or delete it at any time from Profile → Settings. You must be 18 or older to use Stead.
Food and nutrition
- Meal suggestions and plans are general guidance built from what you tell Stead. They are not a prescription.
- Calorie, protein and other nutrition figures are estimates, often worked out from a photo or a dish name. They can be wrong.
- Allergies and dietary restrictions: Stead avoids foods based on what it can read from dish names, descriptions and your profile, but it cannot guarantee that a dish or recipe is free of an allergen or suits a restriction. Always check ingredients — and, when ordering, check with the restaurant.
Workouts
- Workouts are general fitness guidance, not physiotherapy or rehabilitation. If you have an injury, a health condition, or haven’t exercised in a while, check with a doctor before starting.
- Stop if something hurts, you feel dizzy, or anything feels wrong. You know your body better than any plan does.
- Telling Stead something is hurting changes which movements it suggests. It does not diagnose or treat anything.
No medical advice
Nothing on this site or in the app is medical advice. Stead does not interpret lab results, diagnose conditions, or recommend medication — it never will. If you have a health concern, talk to a registered doctor.
Ordering in with Swiggy
Powered by![]()
- It’s optional. Connecting your Swiggy account lets Stead read your addresses and recent orders, find dishes to order, log your delivered orders as meals, add dishes to your Swiggy cart and place the order when you ask it to, as described in our Privacy Policy. You can disconnect at any time from Profile.
- You place every order. To show what a dish really costs, Stead may add it to your Swiggy cart, read the bill and remove it again, without asking each time. A dish you want stays in your cart only when you tap to add it, and Stead places an order only when you tap Place order after reviewing the items, the bill (with the best coupon Stead applied), the delivery address and how you’ll pay. Stead never pays for you: UPI payments are completed in your own UPI app, and cash on delivery and Swiggy Money are handled by Swiggy. Orders can’t be cancelled from Stead — contact Swiggy customer care.
- Your order is with Swiggy and the restaurant. When you place an order, it’s governed by Swiggy’s terms. Swiggy and the restaurant are responsible for the food, price, payment, delivery, cancellations and refunds — Stead is not a party to the order.
- What we show comes from Swiggy. Prices, offers, ratings, availability and delivery times are Swiggy’s information at the moment we fetched it, and can change. What Swiggy shows you at checkout is what counts. An offer shown for a restaurant may not apply to every dish.
- Your cart is your real Swiggy cart. Adding a dish from a different restaurant can replace what’s already there — Stead asks you first when it can tell. While Stead is pricing a dish, you may briefly see it in the Swiggy app.
- Stead is independent. Stead is an independent app, powered by Swiggy. Stead is not operated by Swiggy. Swiggy and Instamart, and their logos, are trademarks of their respective owner.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Scrape, spam, or abuse the early-access form or the app.
- Attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to our systems — or use Stead to access Swiggy in ways Swiggy doesn’t allow.
- Use the site or the app for anything unlawful.
Intellectual property
The Stead name, logo, app and site content belong to us. Please don’t reuse them without asking.
No warranty
The site and the app are provided “as is” during early access, without warranties of any kind. We’re actively building — expect rough edges, and don’t rely on Stead as your only record of anything important.
Limits on our liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses from using Stead, or for anything arising from an order you place with Swiggy or a restaurant.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
