Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AhrensFit (the "Service"), operated by AhrensFit ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (16 in the EEA/UK) to create an account. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that you are legally able to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization.

2. Health and medical disclaimer

AhrensFit is not a medical device and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Service provides general fitness, nutrition, and wellness information for educational and personal use only. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, changing your diet, or acting on any information you see in the app, especially if you have or suspect a medical condition, are pregnant, are recovering from an injury, or are taking medication. If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptom, stop immediately and seek medical attention.

Calorie targets, macro recommendations, training plans, badges, and any other automated outputs are estimates produced by general-purpose algorithms. They do not account for your individual medical history and should not be relied upon for clinical decisions.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Keep your password secret. Do not share your account with others.
• You must provide accurate information at signup and keep your profile up to date.
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access at security@ahrensfitness.com.

4. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to:

• Use the Service to violate any law or the rights of others.
• Upload, log, or share content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, hateful, or sexually explicit.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity in challenges or shared content.
• Attempt to access another user's data, bypass row-level security, or interfere with the integrity of the Service.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the Service except as permitted by mandatory law.
• Use the Service to send spam, malware, or any automated abusive traffic.
• Resell, white-label, or commercially exploit the Service without our prior written consent.

5. User content

"User Content" means anything you log, type, upload, or share through the Service (meals, workouts, mood ratings, photos, challenge titles, etc.). You retain all rights in your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and display your User Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you. We do not use your User Content for advertising, do not sell it, and do not use it to train external machine-learning models.

When you join a challenge, you authorize us to display your chosen display name and your aggregate progress toward that specific challenge to the other participants of that challenge. You can leave a challenge at any time.

6. Third-party integrations

The Service can connect to third-party services including Strava, Oura, Peloton, and Apple Health (via iOS Shortcuts). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for any third-party service, for downtime or changes to their APIs, or for any consequence of your use of those services.

Peloton-specific notice: The Peloton integration uses unofficial endpoints that may violate Peloton's terms. Peloton may suspend your Peloton account for use of unofficial clients. You assume that risk by enabling the integration; we are not liable for any action Peloton takes against your account.

7. Challenges

Challenges are a social feature provided for motivation only. We do not verify the accuracy of any logged data. We may remove a challenge or remove a participant at any time if the challenge or its content violates these Terms.

8. Fees

The core Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce paid features in the future; any paid feature will be clearly identified and you will not be charged without your explicit consent. Free features may be modified or discontinued at any time.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service, including all software, text, graphics, logos (including the AhrensFit name and logo), and design, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, no rights are granted to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of the Service.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you and without any compensation. You waive any claim to the feedback you provide.

11. Termination

• By you: you can delete your account at any time from the You page. Deletion is permanent and irreversible (subject to the retention windows in the Privacy Policy).
• By us: we may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, if your account is used to harm other users or the Service, or if we are required to do so by law. We will give notice where reasonably possible.
• Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, indemnity, limitation of liability, governing law) will survive.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT ANY DATA SYNC FROM A THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION WILL BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AHRENSFIT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain warranties or liabilities, in which case the above limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AhrensFit and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you live in the EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws override this choice of law, those mandatory laws apply.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app and, where we have your email, by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the rest will remain in full force.
• No waiver: our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
