Terms of Service

Welcome to Taper. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Taper ("Taper," "we," "our," or "us") and govern your access to and use of tapertraining.com, the Taper iOS and watchOS apps, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, downloading the app, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the information you provide, the security of your credentials, and all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@tapertraining.com if you believe your account has been compromised. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to other users or the Service.

3. Health & safety disclaimer

Taper provides training guidance, plans, and AI-generated coaching based on the data you and your connected services share with us. Taper is not a medical provider, and the Service is not medical advice. The Service is intended for healthy adults pursuing recreational or competitive training. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, modifying, or stopping any exercise program, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, are recovering from injury, or take medication that affects exercise tolerance.

Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or any other warning sign. You assume all risks associated with physical training and your use of the Service.

4. AI-generated content

Taper uses large-language-model providers (including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google) to generate coaching responses, plans, and explanations. AI output may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your specific situation. You are responsible for evaluating any AI-generated guidance and should use your own judgment — and a qualified professional where appropriate — before acting on it. Do not rely on the Service as the sole basis for any health, training, or medical decision.

5. Connected services

The Service may integrate with third-party platforms such as Apple Health, Strava, Whoop, and Oura. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services, and we may add, modify, or remove integrations at any time. You can disconnect any integration at any time from within the app or the provider's settings.

6. Subscriptions, billing & trials

Some features of the Service may require a paid subscription. If you purchase a subscription, you authorize us (or our payment processor or app store) to charge the applicable fees and any taxes. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date through your app store account or the Service.

Free trials, if offered, convert to paid subscriptions automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends. Except where required by law or expressly stated, payments are non-refundable. Apple App Store and Google Play purchases are governed by those stores' refund policies.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any law or regulation
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract source code or training data, except as permitted by law
• Interfere with, disrupt, or impose unreasonable load on the Service or its infrastructure
• Bypass security, rate limits, authentication, or access controls
• Use the Service to build or train a competing product or model
• Submit content that is unlawful, harmful, infringing, or that misrepresents another person
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or its output without our written permission

8. Your content

You retain ownership of the data you submit to the Service, including workouts, notes, goals, and physiological data ("Your Content"). You grant Taper a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate, improve, and provide the Service to you. We do not sell Your Content, and we do not use your health or training data to train general-purpose AI models.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its software, designs, text, graphics, branding, and underlying models, is owned by Taper and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial training purposes, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without obligation to you.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time from within the app or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if continued provision of the Service is impractical, or as required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE ERROR-FREE, OR PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR TRAINING OR HEALTH OUTCOME. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL SUCH WARRANTIES.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TAPER AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) AUD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Taper harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

15. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the courts of New South Wales (or the federal courts of Australia sitting in Sydney), and you and Taper submit to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer rights or guarantees you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply: these Terms are between you and Taper only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Taper regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
