- If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately

- Oura API: You provide your own personal access token. Your use is governed by Oura's terms.

- Apple frameworks and services: Apple HealthKit, EventKit, WeatherKit, and CloudKit remain subject to Apple's applicable terms and policies.
