Terms of Use

Effective September 13, 2026 · Last updated September 13, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of the SweatBud app and website, operated by the developer identified as the provider on SweatBud’s App Store listing ("SweatBud," "we," "us"). By using SweatBud, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Please read Sections 2 and 9–12 carefully. They address exercise risks, data loss, warranty exclusions, releases, and limits on liability. These provisions apply only to the extent permitted by the law that applies to you.

1. Using SweatBud

You must be at least 13 and meet any higher minimum age or consent requirements that apply where you live. If you are below the age of legal adulthood, a parent or guardian must review and agree to these terms with you. Provide accurate information and use the service lawfully.

You are responsible for access to your device and account. Keep your sign-in credentials secure and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access. Guest data may be difficult to recover if you lose access to your device or account.

2. Fitness information and voluntary exercise risks

SweatBud provides general fitness information and automated workout suggestions for educational and wellness purposes. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, emergency services, or an assessment that you are medically fit to exercise. Using the service does not create a clinician–patient relationship or an agreement for individually supervised professional training. References to an AI “planner,” “coach,” or “buddy” describe software features.

Personalization based on your answers does not make a plan medically appropriate, professionally supervised, or safe for every person. The app cannot reliably assess your health, physical condition, technique, environment, equipment, pain, or ability to complete a movement. It cannot identify every contraindication or respond to an emergency.

AI outputs can be wrong, incomplete, inconsistent, or unsuitable. Body-scan results, body-fat estimates, calorie estimates, progress projections, and appearance scores are approximate informational outputs, not clinical measurements or a reliable basis for diagnosis, treatment, dietary restriction, or other healthcare decisions. Do not substitute them for advice from a qualified healthcare professional or delay seeking that advice because of the app.

Before beginning or changing an exercise routine, consult a qualified healthcare professional about whether it is appropriate for you, particularly if you have an injury, medical condition, pregnancy, symptoms, or uncertainty about your fitness. Follow your clinician’s restrictions. Do not perform a movement you cannot carry out safely or understand. Choose suitable equipment, a clear environment, and an intensity within your capabilities. Seek qualified in-person instruction when needed.

Exercise carries inherent risks, including strains, falls, overexertion, aggravation of existing conditions, serious injury, and, in rare cases, death. You decide whether to participate, which movements to perform, and when to stop. Stop immediately if you experience pain, chest discomfort, dizziness, faintness, unusual shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms. Obtain appropriate medical help; contact local emergency services for an emergency. The app is not monitored for emergency assistance.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily assume the inherent risks of the physical activities you choose to undertake and release SweatBud and its personnel from claims arising solely from those inherent risks. This acknowledgment does not establish that you accept unsafe conduct by us and does not release any claim or responsibility preserved by Section 12. No particular fitness outcome, body change, weight change, or injury-free experience is promised.

3. Your content and permissions

You retain ownership of the information, messages, and photos you provide. You give SweatBud permission to process this content as needed to deliver the features you request, operate the service, and meet legal obligations, as described in our Privacy Policy. You must have the right to submit the content and should not upload another person’s private information or photos without their permission.

Camera, photo-library, notification, and Apple Health permissions are optional where requested. You can manage them in your device settings; declining or withdrawing a permission may limit the related feature.

4. Purchases and subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription or other paid feature, its price, billing period, included features, and any trial terms will be shown before purchase. Apple processes App Store payments. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless canceled in accordance with the terms shown at purchase.

Manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account settings. Deleting SweatBud or your account does not cancel a subscription. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled through Apple, subject to Apple’s policies and your applicable consumer rights. See Apple’s cancellation instructions and refund instructions.

5. Acceptable use

Do not misuse SweatBud, access other users’ data, interfere with its operation, bypass security or usage limits, submit unlawful content, or use automated methods to abuse the service. Do not copy, resell, or redistribute the app, exercise media, or other protected materials without permission, except as applicable law allows.

6. Ownership and your license

SweatBud and its licensors retain rights to the app, website, branding, design, software, and exercise content. Subject to these terms, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for your own fitness purposes. Third-party content may carry additional terms.

The iOS app license is governed by the Apple Standard End User License Agreement unless a custom license is expressly supplied through the App Store. These website and service terms supplement that license; they do not replace it or reduce any right or obligation that the applicable Apple license or mandatory law preserves. The applicable Apple license controls any conflict about licensing the iOS app. Comply with applicable Apple and other third-party service terms. Questions about SweatBud, its content, and its support should be directed to us at support@sweatbud.app.

7. Availability and third-party services

Features may change, require internet access, or depend on third-party services such as Apple, Firebase, AI providers, and exercise-media providers. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or the continued availability of every feature or third-party resource. We may update or discontinue features and will respect any notice, refund, or other obligations required by applicable law.

8. Ending use

You may stop using SweatBud at any time and request account deletion through the app or contact support. We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, legal requirements, or a material breach of these terms. Where appropriate and practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue.

9. Data, devices, and service risks

SweatBud is not a permanent archive, medical record system, or guaranteed backup service. Local data can be lost through uninstalling the app, changing or losing a device, device failure, account deletion, synchronization errors, interrupted transfers, or service outages. In particular, saved body-scan photos remain on the device and are excluded from device backup; account synchronization does not restore those photos. Guest access may not be recoverable after reinstalling or losing the device.

Maintain separate copies of information you cannot afford to lose where you can lawfully do so, and check that any available synchronization has completed before changing devices or deleting local information. We do not guarantee recovery of deleted, corrupted, lost, or unsynchronized information. A displayed backup or sync feature is subject to its stated functionality and the limits of the relevant systems.

Internet services and devices can experience unauthorized access, disclosure, interception, malware, disruption, and security failures. No system can guarantee absolute security or confidentiality. Use device security features, protect your account credentials, and avoid submitting information unnecessary for the feature you request. Our handling of personal information remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law; these risk notices do not excuse a failure to meet mandatory security, privacy, or breach-notification obligations.

10. Warranty exclusions

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SweatBud and its services, content, AI outputs, exercise media, and integrations are provided “as is” and “as available.” SweatBud and its licensors and service providers disclaim warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, or freedom from errors, harmful components, and security incidents, except where such warranties or conditions cannot lawfully be excluded.

We do not warrant that any workout is appropriate for your circumstances, that AI or scan outputs are correct, that the service will meet every requirement, or that access, storage, synchronization, security, or recovery will be uninterrupted or error-free. Informal support statements do not create additional warranties unless we expressly agree in writing, subject to rights and representations that applicable law makes binding. Section 12 applies to every exclusion in these terms.

11. Limitations of liability

Subject to Section 12, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SweatBud, its owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, anticipated savings, or loss, corruption, or inability to use data. This limitation includes losses arising from exercise choices, reliance on AI or scan outputs, service interruptions, synchronization or backup failures, device problems, and unauthorized access or disclosure, but only where the particular loss or liability may lawfully be excluded.

Subject to Section 12, the combined aggregate liability of those parties for all claims arising out of or relating to SweatBud or these terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for SweatBud during the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50, or its equivalent in your local currency. Where applicable law requires a higher limit or does not permit a limit, that law controls.

Where lawful, these limitations apply regardless of the legal theory, including contract, tort (including ordinary negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if a party was advised that the loss was possible or a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. The limits apply only to the extent consistent with the applicable Apple license and mandatory law.

12. Rights and liabilities that remain protected

Nothing in these terms, including any release, indemnity, disclaimer, or liability cap, excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where exclusion is prohibited; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; gross negligence or willful misconduct where exclusion is prohibited; and any non-waivable consumer, product-safety, privacy, data-protection, or statutory rights, guarantees, remedies, and compensation.

Where your local law does not permit an exclusion or limitation, that provision does not apply to you to that extent. These terms do not prevent complaints to regulators, lawful reporting, access to remedies or courts guaranteed by law, or the exercise of mandatory refund or other consumer rights. The Privacy Policy is not a waiver of privacy rights or consent to a security breach.

13. Responsibility for misuse

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify SweatBud and its personnel against third-party claims and reasonable associated costs, including reasonable legal fees, to the extent caused by your unlawful use of the service, intentional misuse, infringement of another person’s rights, or material breach of these terms. This does not apply to losses caused by SweatBud’s own wrongdoing or to your good-faith exercise of consumer or privacy rights.

We will give reasonably prompt notice of a covered claim and allow reasonable participation in its defense. No settlement may impose an admission, payment, or non-monetary obligation on you without your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. This provision does not require you to pay merely because you raise a complaint or bring a claim against us.

14. Changes, interpretation, and disputes

We may revise these terms as the service evolves. The revision date appears above. We will provide notice of material changes and obtain further agreement where required. Changes do not retroactively take away rights that have already accrued. If you do not agree to a change, you may stop using the service, subject to any rights you retain by law.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be applied only to the extent lawful or severed where necessary; the remaining provisions continue to apply. Failing to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a waiver. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership and lawful liability limitations, survive.

Contact support@sweatbud.app so we can try to resolve an issue. This is an invitation to resolve concerns, not a mandatory barrier to a complaint, urgent relief, or a legal claim, and it does not shorten any statutory deadline. These service terms do not add mandatory arbitration, an exclusive foreign court, or a waiver of claims beyond what applicable law and the applicable Apple license permit.
