Terms of Service

Bodaptive is operated by its founder, an individual based in the United States (“Bodaptive”, “we”, “us”). These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and us about the Bodaptive website at bodaptive.com, the Bodaptive apps for iPhone and Android, and everything available through them (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms and our Community Guidelines, which are part of these Terms, and you confirm you have read our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you live in the United States, the disputes section requires most disputes to be settled by individual arbitration rather than in court or as a class action, unless you opt out within 30 days.

You must be at least 18 years old, wherever you live, and able to enter into a binding contract. You must not be barred from using the Service under the laws that apply to you, and you must not have been banned from the Service before.

If a doctor or other health professional has told you not to exercise, or to exercise only under supervision, do not use the Service except as they allow.

If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we will close it and delete its data.

You can sign up with an email address and password, or with Google. Give us accurate information and keep it up to date. One person, one account: do not share it, sell it or let anyone else use it.

You are responsible for what happens on your account. Keep your password private and tell us straight away at support@bodaptive.com if you think someone else has used it.

Your handle is how other people find you. We may change or reclaim a handle that impersonates someone, infringes someone else’s rights or otherwise breaks these Terms.

Bodaptive gives general fitness information and training suggestions. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace a doctor, physiotherapist, dietitian or other qualified professional who knows you. Using the Service does not create a doctor–patient or any other professional relationship.

Talk to a health professional before you start a new training programme, especially if you are pregnant or recently gave birth, have a heart or lung condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, a recent injury or surgery, take medication that affects your heart rate or balance, or have any other condition that could make exercise unsafe for you.

Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, faintness, chest pain or pressure, unusual shortness of breath, numbness or anything else that does not feel right, and seek medical help. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. The Service cannot recognise or respond to a medical emergency.

You decide whether an exercise is right for you, how much weight to use, and when to stop. Train in a safe place, with equipment in good condition and a spotter where the exercise calls for one. The questions we ask during set-up, such as body areas you want to work around, help us avoid exercises you have told us about; they are not a medical screening.

Numbers such as estimated recovery, one-rep maximums, calories and data from watches, rings and phones are estimates and can be wrong.

Exercise carries a risk of injury. To the extent the law allows, you choose to exercise voluntarily and accept the risks that are part of it.

The in-app coach, and the explanations and summaries it writes, are generated automatically by software that includes an artificial-intelligence model run by a third-party provider. The coach is not a person, a certified trainer or a clinician. It can be wrong, incomplete, out of date or a poor fit for you. Treat what it says as a suggestion, use your own judgement and never follow advice that seems unsafe.

Your training plan itself is built by fixed rules, not by the AI model. The coach can make small changes you ask for, such as swapping an exercise in today’s workout, and those can be undone. It can only propose bigger changes to your programme; they apply only if you accept them.

Before a message reaches the AI model, an automatic check looks for signs of a medical emergency and answers with fixed safety guidance instead. That check cannot catch everything.

We may limit how many messages you can send, and we may change the AI provider or model. What the coach receives about you is described in the Privacy Policy. Please do not tell the coach things about other people that they would not want shared.

“Your content” means anything you create, upload, post or send on the Service: your profile, handle, bio and profile picture, photos, posts, comments, chat messages, workouts you build, groups, events and challenges you create, and reports you file.

You own it

You keep ownership of your content. So that we can run the Service, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, resize, format and display your content, and to share it with the people you choose through your visibility settings. We may let our service providers do these things only to run the Service for us. The licence lasts until you delete the content or your account, apart from the exceptions in the next paragraph.

If you share a workout, people who can see it can start it and save their own copy; their copies stay if you later delete yours, without your name on them. Deleted content can also remain for a limited time in backups and in moderation records, as set out in the Privacy Policy.

We do not sell your content, use it in advertising, or use it to train artificial-intelligence models.

You are responsible for it

You are responsible for your content and for having the right to post it. By posting, you confirm that it is yours or that you have permission, that everyone who can be recognised in a photo agreed to it being shared, and that it follows these Terms, the Community Guidelines and the law.

We can remove it

We may review, screen, refuse, hide, restrict or remove any content, and restrict or close any account, at any time, if we believe it breaks these Terms or the Community Guidelines, is unlawful, or puts people or the Service at risk. We are not required to monitor content, and content posted by other people is theirs, not ours: we do not endorse it and are not responsible for it.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

Bodaptive has no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You must not post, send or share anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens, intimidates or shames anyone, including about their body;
• attacks people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or serious illness, or promotes hateful groups or symbols;
• is sexual, pornographic or shows nudity;
• shows or praises graphic violence, gore, self-harm or suicide, or promotes eating disorders;
• gives dangerous or extreme training, diet or health advice, or promotes performance-enhancing drugs;
• is spam, advertising, a scam or impersonation;
• exposes someone’s private information, or shows someone who has not agreed to be shared;
• is illegal, or infringes someone else’s rights.

Any content that sexualises or exploits a child is removed, the account is banned permanently, and we report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the authorities.

We review reports and act on objectionable content within 24 hours, by removing it and, where the rules call for it, removing the user who posted it. The Community Guidelines explain the rules in more detail and what happens when they are broken.

Accounts are private until you choose otherwise, and each post, workout, group, event and challenge has its own audience. Content you make public can be seen by anyone signed in, and some of it, such as your profile card and public workouts, by anyone with the link. People who can see your content may copy or screenshot it, and we cannot control that.

Blocking. You can block anyone. You then will not see each other anywhere in the Service, follows and friendship between you are removed, and they are not told.

Reporting. You can report any person, post, comment, chat message, workout, group or challenge from its menu (for an event, report its host). Reports are private: we do not tell the person who reported them. Please report honestly; false or abusive reports break these Terms.

Moderation. Our team reviews reports and may act on content or accounts without a report. Photos are checked automatically by an artificial-intelligence image-moderation service before anyone else sees them; a photo it flags is rejected or held until our team reviews it. Automated checks make mistakes; you can ask for a person to review a decision (see the appeals process). We also limit how quickly accounts can post, comment, follow and report, to slow down spam and abuse.

Groups. A group’s owner, admins and moderators are members like you. They can approve, remove and ban members and remove content inside their group. Their choices are their own, and we may overrule them.

Chat. Group chat is not end-to-end encrypted. Our moderators may read messages that are reported, and we may access content when needed to run or secure the Service or to comply with the law.

Events. We do not check hosts, places or participants. If you meet people in person, meet in public, tell someone where you are going and use your judgement; you take part at your own risk.

Challenges, leaderboards and badges are for motivation and fun. They have no prizes, no money and nothing of monetary value, and taking part never costs anything. They are not contests, sweepstakes or lotteries. If we ever offer a prize, it will come with its own official rules. Apple and Google are not sponsors of, and are not involved in, any challenge.

Results, rankings and badges are computed automatically from workouts you log in Bodaptive and, only if you switch it on, from a connected health source you choose to count in challenges. Nobody types in a result.

We may correct mistakes, recalculate results, and remove results, badges or participants when data is wrong, faked or obtained unfairly. Challenges created by members are run by them, not by us. Never push past what is safe for you to climb a leaderboard.

Connecting a health source is optional. In the apps you can connect Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, and, as each becomes available, Oura, WHOOP, Polar and Withings. Bodaptive does not integrate with Strava.

Those services are run by other companies under their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability or accuracy. How we use health data, and our promises about it, are in the Health data section of the Privacy Policy. You can disconnect at any time in You → Connections.

The Service and everything we provide in it, including the exercise library, its text, photos and demonstration videos, badge artwork, the training rules, the Bodaptive name and logo, and the software, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law.

We give you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes under these Terms. You must not copy, scrape, sell, redistribute or build a product from our content. Some parts of the software are open source and come with their own licences.

When using the Service, you must not:

• break the law, these Terms or the Community Guidelines;
• access or try to access anyone else’s account or data;
• use bots, scrapers or other automated means to access the Service or collect data from it;
• copy, reverse-engineer or decompile the software or training rules, except where the law allows it;
• interfere with, overload or probe the Service or its security (if you find a vulnerability, please tell us at the address below);
• get around a block, ban, rate limit, visibility setting or other safeguard, including by creating another account;
• advertise, sell or solicit without our written permission;
• upload viruses or other harmful code;
• use the Service or its content to train artificial-intelligence models or to build a competing product;
• fake workout or health data, or file false reports.

Most of the Service is free. Bodaptive Pro is an optional paid subscription, described in Subscriptions and billing. We always show the price and what it includes before you pay, and we never charge you without your explicit agreement. Purchases made through an app store also follow that store’s terms. We may change which features are free, and we will give you notice before a change that takes away something you use.

Bodaptive Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. It renews every month or every year, at the price shown before you buy, until you cancel. On the web, payments are processed by Stripe; in the apps, by the App Store or Google Play. Taxes may apply where you live and are added where the law requires.

Free trials

A free trial (7 days, or 14 days if you joined through a friend’s invite) turns into a paid subscription when it ends, unless you cancel before then. We remind you before the trial ends. One trial per person.

Canceling

Cancel at any time from You › Plan and billing › Manage subscription, or through the link in any Stripe receipt. Subscriptions bought through the App Store or Google Play are canceled in that store’s subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period: you keep Pro until then and are not charged again. Nothing you made is deleted when Pro ends.

Refunds

Payments are non-refundable and we do not give refunds for partial periods, except where the law requires it. Refunds for App Store and Google Play purchases are handled by Apple and Google under their rules. If you think you were charged by mistake, write to support@bodaptive.com and we will look into it.

Price changes

We may change the price of Pro. We will tell you by email and in the app at least 30 days before a new price applies to you. It takes effect from your next renewal after that notice; if you do not want to pay it, cancel before then.

Invite rewards

When a friend joins through your invite link and finishes their first workout, you may earn a free month of Pro, up to 12 a year. Free months have no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged. Inviting yourself, using fake or duplicate accounts, or otherwise gaming the program voids the rewards, and we may end the program or change its rules with notice.

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google, and we alone are responsible for the app and its content. The store’s own terms also apply to your download.

For the iPhone app, you and we also agree that:

• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app;
• if the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any purchase price you paid for the app; to the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app;
• we, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claim about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection and privacy claims, and claims that the app infringes someone’s intellectual property;
• you confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

We improve the Service all the time, which can change the plans and suggestions you receive. We may add, change, suspend or remove features. We will give you reasonable notice of changes that significantly affect you where we can, and if we ever close the Service we will give you at least 30 days’ notice, where possible, and a chance to download your data.

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from the You tab.

We may suspend or close your account, or limit what you can do, if you break these Terms or the Community Guidelines, if we need to protect other people or the Service, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering the Service. We may also delete an account that has not been used for three years, after emailing a warning at least 30 days ahead. Unless the abuse is serious, the law prevents it or it would put someone at risk, we will tell you why and, where we can, give you a chance to download your data first.

When your account ends, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should last, including those on content we may keep, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and disputes, continue to apply.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

We do not promise any particular result from training, such as strength, weight or health outcomes. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that data from devices and health apps is accurate, or that other members’ content is accurate or safe to follow.

Some places do not allow some of these disclaimers, so they apply to you only as far as your law allows.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from the Service or these Terms. Our total liability for all claims about the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US$100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or, where the law provides for it, for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill, and the limits above apply only as far as your consumer law allows.

To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, of claims by other people that arise from your content, your breach of these Terms or your violation of the law or someone else’s rights. This does not apply to consumers in places where the law does not permit it.

Talk to us first

Most problems can be fixed quickly. Before starting any claim, email support@bodaptive.com with your name, your account email and what you want us to do. We will try to resolve it with you informally for 60 days.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the agreement to arbitrate below.

Arbitration (United States)

If you live in the United States and we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree to resolve it by binding individual arbitration, not in court. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer it under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The hearing can take place by video or phone, or in the county where you live. Your filing fees will be no more than a court’s, and we will pay the rest of the AAA’s fees as its rules require. The arbitrator can award the same individual relief a court could.

Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either of us may ask a court to stop the infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and to take part in a class, collective or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will go to court, not to class arbitration.

You can opt out of arbitration by emailing support@bodaptive.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name, your account email and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect anything else in these Terms.

Courts

Any dispute that is not arbitrated will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction.

Outside the United States

If you live outside the United States, the arbitration section does not apply to you. You keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there.

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We will post the new version here with a new effective date. If a change is material, we will tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before it takes effect, unless it is needed sooner for legal or safety reasons. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the new Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account. Changes to the arbitration section do not apply to disputes you have already told us about.

• These Terms, the Community Guidelines and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
• If a court finds part of these Terms unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
• If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not give it up.
• You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the Service, and the new operator must honour these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
• We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• We may send you notices by email to your account address or in the app. You can reach us at the address below.
• These Terms are written in English, and the English version applies if a translation differs.
