Terms of Service
Last updated: [date]
This page is a starting draft, not legal advice. Replace the bracketed placeholders (legal entity, address, governing law, contact) and have qualified counsel review this — especially the health/liability sections — before relying on it.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Liftscribe (the “Service”), operated by [Legal entity name] (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
1. The Service
Liftscribe is a training and nutrition coaching platform. It supports two ways of using it: as a client of an independent coach who manages your programming, or as a self-coached athlete using our AI-assisted tools directly. Coaches on the Service are independent professionals, not our employees or agents — Liftscribe provides the software; the coaching relationship and its advice are between you and your coach.
2. Eligibility and your account
- You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent where you live) to use the Service.
- You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your login credentials confidential.
- You're responsible for activity that happens under your account.
- Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
3. Health and medical disclaimer
Liftscribe, including any AI-generated training plan, nutrition guidance, or coach message, is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician or other healthcare provider.
- Consult your doctor before starting any exercise or nutrition program, especially if you have any existing health condition, injury, or are pregnant or postpartum.
- Physical exercise carries inherent risk of injury. You use any training plan or exercise instruction at your own risk.
- AI-generated content is produced from the information you provide and general fitness principles; it can be wrong, generic, or unsuitable for your specific situation. Review it critically and stop any movement that causes pain.
- If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or any emergency symptom, stop immediately and seek emergency medical care — do not rely on the Service.
4. Subscriptions and billing
Paid features are billed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time from within the Service (Account → Premium), which opens Stripe's own billing portal. [Add specific refund policy, trial terms, and price-change notice period.]
5. AI-generated content
Training plans, nutrition targets, weekly reviews, and draft coach replies may be generated in whole or part by AI systems. We design this to be useful and evidence-informed, but we don't guarantee AI output is accurate, complete, or appropriate for your circumstances. You (and, where applicable, your coach) are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before relying on it.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for anything unlawful, or to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
- Attempt to access another user's account or data without authorization.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service's operation or security.
- Scrape, reverse-engineer, or resell the Service without our written permission.
7. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you upload (progress photos, logs, messages). You grant us a license to store, process, and display that content solely to provide the Service to you and, where applicable, your coach. Coach-authored content (programs, meal plans, messages) belongs to the coach, subject to the same license for us to operate the Service.
8. Termination and account deletion
You may stop using the Service, or permanently delete your account and data, at any time (self-coached accounts can do this directly from Account → Delete account; see our Privacy Policy for exactly what that removes). We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with notice where reasonably possible.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, [Legal entity name] is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the Service, including reliance on AI-generated training or nutrition content. [This section needs jurisdiction-specific legal review — some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability limitations.]
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. [Add dispute resolution / venue clause with counsel.]
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We'll update the “Last updated” date above; for material changes we'll make reasonable efforts to notify active users directly.
