TERMS OF USE & EULA

By creating an account or otherwise using the App, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you use the App on behalf of someone else, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms for them.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial training use.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the source code of the App except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

The App provides general fitness and training programming for informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, physiotherapist, or other healthcare professional.

Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, particularly if you are pregnant, have a pre-existing medical condition or injury, or have any concern about your fitness to train.

Stop exercising immediately and seek medical help if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or any other warning sign. You are solely responsible for judging whether any exercise, load, or progression suggested by the App is appropriate and safe for you.

Athletickle is a fitness and performance tool. It is not a medical device, and it makes no claim to diagnose, treat, monitor, alleviate, or prevent any disease, injury, or medical condition. It is not designed for, and must not be used for, rehabilitation from injury or the management of any medical condition.

You understand that physical training — including heavy resistance training such as squatting, pressing, deadlifting and Olympic lifting, the ballistic jumping work the App also prescribes, and lifestyle sports such as parkour, climbing, snowboarding and surfing — is inherently dangerous and carries a risk of serious injury, permanent disability, or death.

You voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, whether foreseeable or not, that arise from your training and from your use of the App, including risks arising from your own physical condition and from the environment, equipment, or surfaces on which you train.

Some of what the App prescribes is high-risk by design, and you should understand specifically what you are accepting:

• —Loads are prescribed close to your limit, and they go up. The App doses loaded work either by how few reps you should have left in reserve or as a percentage of your one-rep maximum, and it keeps adding load across a block. Heavy work taken near failure can fail mid-rep, and the risk rises when you are fatigued, poorly warmed up, or lifting without safety pins or a spotter.
• —Jump and impact work is prescribed at maximum intent rather than at a held-back effort target. Maximal jumping and landing loads the ankles, knees, hips and spine heavily, and the risk rises sharply when you are fatigued, poorly warmed up, or landing on an unsuitable surface.
• —Olympic lifts are prescribed as doses, not as technique instruction. The App deliberately ships no demonstration for them, because it assumes you have already been coached through them in person. If you have not been, turn that option off.
• —The App cannot see your form, your fatigue, your sleep, an old injury, or the surface and equipment you are using. It works from the settings you gave it and the logs you enter, and it will keep prescribing progression whether or not today is a good day to take it.
• —Before you save a program you can swap any exercise the App picked for an equivalent it offers, so a movement you cannot perform safely need not stay in your plan. Choosing to keep one, or to train around a limitation you never told the App about, is your decision.
• —You are responsible for warming up, for building intensity gradually, for stopping a set when technique fails, and for scaling down or skipping any prescribed work that is not appropriate for you on the day.

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The App plans; you train. You choose which exercises to keep before you save a program, and on any given day you decide whether a prescribed load or progression suits you and whether to scale it down, postpone it, or skip it. You are responsible for how you interpret and apply the App’s programming. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release us from, and agree that we are not liable for, any injury, loss, or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of the App or your participation in any activity based on it.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, and our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, or EUR 50.

This cap does not apply to death or personal injury. Nothing in this section limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury, for intent or gross negligence, or our liability under applicable product-liability law. Under Finnish product-liability law a term agreed before an injury occurs that would limit the injured person’s right to compensation is void, and we do not attempt to impose one. The monetary cap above applies only to losses other than death or personal injury.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes any liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you.

If you are a consumer, you keep all mandatory rights granted to you by the consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, and the limitations in §5 apply only to the extent those laws permit.

If the App prescribes something you believe is unsafe — a load or progression that looks wrong, an exercise that should not appear for the inputs you gave, or a warning that is missing where you would expect one — please tell us. Reports go to the same address as everything else, through the contact page, and we review them.

Reporting an issue does not limit any right you have, and nothing in this section makes your safety our responsibility rather than yours while you are training — §§3 and 4 still apply. It exists because we would rather hear about a bad prescription than not.

Athletickle has a free tier — your full first training mesocycle — and an optional paid subscription that unlocks the rest of your periodization roadmap. Subscriptions are sold and processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not by us. The applicable price and billing period are shown to you in the store before you confirm, and the charge is made to your store account.

Subscriptions renew automatically for further periods of the same length until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your store’s subscription settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until then. Both stores require cancellation at least 24 hours before a period ends for it not to renew. Refunds are handled by the store under its own policies — we cannot issue them.

We may change subscription prices for future billing periods. Where we do, the store will notify you in advance and, where the store requires it, ask for your agreement; if you do not agree, your subscription simply will not renew at the new price.

Consumers in the EU, EEA, and UK: you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content. Where you ask for access to start immediately and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once it does, that right ends at that point, as the law permits. This does not affect your other statutory rights under §6, nor any more generous refund policy the store applies.

You agree not to use the App unlawfully, to interfere with its operation or security, to access it through automated means without our permission, or to use it in any way that infringes the rights of others.

The App, including its software, algorithms, content, and trade marks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license in §2, these Terms grant you no rights in the App.

You agree to indemnify us against any third-party claim, and any resulting loss or reasonable cost, that arises from your breach of these Terms or your unlawful use of the App.

This is deliberately narrow. It does not apply to ordinary use of the App, to your own training, or to anything caused by us. If you are a consumer, it applies only so far as the consumer-protection law of your country of residence permits, and it never requires you to cover a claim you are not responsible for.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including §§3–8, 10, 11, and 13) will continue to apply.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and subject to §6. The courts of Finland have jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Consumers in the EU may also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where the change is material, provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
