Terms of Service

Effective October 17, 2026 · Applies to gauchonutri.com · If this English version and the Chinese version differ, the Chinese version controls.

1. What this service is

GauchoNutri uses the public menus and nutrition data from UCSB's dining commons, together with your survey answers, to suggest where to eat each meal, which dishes to take, and how much. The service is currently free.

GauchoNutri is an independent student project. It is not authorized or endorsed by the University of California, Santa Barbara and is not affiliated with UCSB or UCSB Dining. Dining commons names are used only to identify where menus come from.

2. Not medical advice

  • Recommendations and AI analysis are general healthy-eating information, not medical advice, nutrition therapy or an exercise prescription, and don't replace a doctor or registered dietitian.
  • If you have a chronic condition, are pregnant, have (or are at risk of) an eating disorder, take medication, or have a serious allergy, check with a professional first.
  • Always rely on the allergen labels and staff in the dining hall. We filter using UCSB's published allergen information, but that data may be incomplete and dishes can change, so we can't guarantee nothing is missed.

3. Accuracy

Menus and nutrition data come from UCSB Dining's public website and may be delayed, wrong or changed at short notice (we correct and label obvious errors when we find them). Calorie and nutrition targets are estimates from standard formulas, and AI-written text can be wrong. Treat recommendations as a guide and adjust to how you feel.

4. Your account

  • Use a real email address you can access, and keep your password safe.
  • Don't sign up if you're under 13; if you're under 18, use the service with a parent's or guardian's knowledge.
  • You can export your data or delete your account any time in Settings.

5. Please don't

  • Create accounts in bulk, scrape the site with scripts, or try to get around rate limits (for example, flooding the chat box).
  • Attack or disrupt the site, or sign up with someone else's email.
  • Present content from this site as official UCSB information.

If you do, we may suspend or delete the account involved.

6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is". We work to keep it running reliably but can't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the fullest extent the law allows, GauchoNutri and its developers are not liable for indirect losses arising from using, or being unable to use, the service.

7. Changes

We may change, pause or end some features. We'll email you before significant changes to these terms; continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept the new terms.

8. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. Questions? Email hello@gauchonutri.com. See also our Privacy Policy.
