Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 21, 2026

Welcome to RootedIQ. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the RootedIQ platform, including our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are owned and operated by Metabolic Terrain Omics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RootedIQ," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account, accessing, or using our Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

Arbitration Notice and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Except if you opt out as described below, you agree that any dispute between you and RootedIQ will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and not in a court of law. You also waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Arbitration Process. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be conducted in Delaware, except that if you are a consumer and the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules would require it to be conducted in your home state, it will be conducted there.

Opt-Out Procedure. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending a written notice to legal@RootedIQ.ai with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Your notice must include your full name, residence address, email address, and a clear statement of your intent to opt out.

Notice of Dispute. Before commencing arbitration, you must first send us a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, email address, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Send this notice to legal@RootedIQ.ai with the subject line "Notice of Dispute." If we cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after receiving the notice, either party may commence arbitration.
