Terms of service

These terms are an agreement between you and BLACKBONE Ltd, a Colorado limited liability company, USA ("BLACKBONE", "we", "us"). They cover the BLACKBONE app, the website at blackbone.tech and everything you can do in them (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use BLACKBONE

You must be at least 16 years old, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live. You may only have one personal account and must not use the Service if the law forbids it.

2. Your account

• Give accurate sign-up details and keep your sign-in method secure.
• You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• Tell us at blackboneoffical@blackbone.tech if you think someone else has accessed it.

3. Train safely

BLACKBONE gives you training tools and general information: exercises, workouts, programs, calculators and guides. It is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor, physiotherapist or qualified coach who knows you.

• Check with a doctor before you start a new training program, especially if you have an injury, a health condition, are pregnant, or have not trained in a while.
• Use proper technique, a spotter or safety equipment where needed, and weights you can control. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath.
• Choosing body areas to work around hides some exercises, but it cannot judge your particular injury.

Exercise carries a risk of injury. You choose what you lift and how, and you train at your own risk, to the extent the law allows. More in our health & safety disclaimer.

4. Free and Pro

BLACKBONE is free to use, with an optional paid Pro subscription that unlocks extra features. What each plan includes is shown in the app and on our website, and may change over time. If we remove a Pro feature you are paying for, we will tell you in advance. The details are in our subscription terms.

• Billing. Pro is bought through the App Store or Google Play and charged to your store account. Their terms apply to the purchase.
• Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• Free trials. If an offer includes a free trial, you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
• Cancelling. Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting your account or the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies, and as required by law where you live.
• Price changes. If the price changes, your store will tell you before it applies to your subscription.

5. Coach plans

When coach features are available, coaches can manage clients in BLACKBONE with a separate Coach plan. A coach must have their certification approved by us before they can buy one. Approval only confirms the documents we were shown; it is not an endorsement. Coaches are responsible for the advice they give their clients, and clients choose what to share with a coach.

6. Your content

Your workouts, measurements, photos and notes stay yours. You give us permission to store, copy and process them only as needed to run the Service for you, for example to sync them between your devices. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from backups that expire on their own.

7. Acceptable use

When you use the Service, do not:

• break the law or anyone else's rights;
• try to get into other people's accounts or data, or test, probe or overload our systems without permission;
• copy, scrape or resell the Service, its exercise library or its content;
• reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it;
• use bots or automated tools to create accounts or send requests;
• upload anything harmful, illegal, or that you do not have the right to upload.

8. Our content and brand

The Service, including its design, text, guides, programs, logos and the BLACKBONE name, belongs to us or the people who license it to us, such as the providers of our exercise demonstrations and photos. You may use the Service for your own personal training. You may not copy or reuse our content or brand without written permission. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

9. Other services and links

The Service relies on, and links to, services run by others, such as the App Store, Google Play and sign-in with Apple or Google. Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for them.

10. Changes to the Service and these terms

We keep improving BLACKBONE, so features may be added, changed or removed. We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new terms apply.

11. Ending your account

You can stop using BLACKBONE and delete your account at any time, in the app or on our account deletion page. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or where the law requires it. Where reasonable, we will tell you why first. Sections 3, 6 (for backups), 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15 continue after your account ends.

12. No guarantees

We work hard to keep BLACKBONE accurate and available, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will always be available, error-free, or that it will produce any particular result for your training or health. Calculators, estimates and suggestions are guides, not exact measurements.

13. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, BLACKBONE is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or opportunities. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US$50. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

14. Your responsibility to us

To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from claims made against us because you broke these terms or the law while using the Service.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA. Disputes will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Colorado. Before going to court, contact us at blackboneoffical@blackbone.tech so we can try to resolve it. If you are a consumer, you keep any protections that the laws of your own country give you, and you may also bring a claim in your local courts where those laws allow.

16. General

• These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
• If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over BLACKBONE. You may not transfer your account or these terms to anyone else.
