Terms of Service

1. Agreement and eligibility

These Terms govern access to FitBound Online, including its mobile application, web properties, fitness and nutrition tools, game systems, subscriptions, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, accessing the Service, or selecting an acceptance control, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, Health and Fitness Disclaimer, and End User License Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The initial beta is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement. We may support younger users in a future version only after implementing appropriate parental consent, age assurance, privacy, safety, and store-policy controls.

2. Health and safety

FitBound is a general wellness, fitness logging, nutrition estimation, and entertainment product. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, emergency monitoring, or a substitute for a qualified healthcare professional.

Exercise and dietary changes involve risk. You are responsible for deciding whether an activity is appropriate for you, using safe equipment and technique, following facility rules, selecting reasonable loads, and obtaining professional guidance when appropriate. Stop activity and seek qualified medical attention if you experience pain, chest discomfort, faintness, shortness of breath beyond expected exertion, or another concerning symptom.

Generated workouts, estimated starting loads, recovery indicators, calorie targets, food-photo estimates, and other recommendations can be incomplete or wrong. You must review and confirm them before acting. See the full Health and Fitness Disclaimer.

3. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate information, keep it current, protect your credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You may not sell, transfer, share, or impersonate another person’s account.

You are responsible for activity performed through your account except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms or applicable law.

4. Fitness data, verification, and offline activity

FitBound may accept workouts, sets, repetitions, weight, duration, distance, effort ratings, steps, health-platform data, and optional while-in-use location signals. Offline entries can remain pending on your device until synchronization.

Gameplay rewards and character progression are not earned merely because data was entered locally. They remain pending until server synchronization and verification. To protect game integrity:

• verified workout rewards are capped at 150 minutes per calendar day, although you may log longer sessions;
• duplicate, impossible, automated, tampered, or otherwise unreliable activity may be rejected or adjusted;
• optional health, motion, and gym-location signals may improve verification confidence — see the Privacy Policy’s “Optional location” section for exactly what is recorded when you use a location-based verification feature (it is precise, not approximate, for that specific check);
• location is never required to use FitBound, background location is never used, and FitBound never asks for or stores your residential address;
• verification methods and reward formulas may change to address abuse, safety, balancing, or technical errors.

Do not use FitBound in a way that distracts you during a lift, while operating equipment, while driving, or in another unsafe situation.

5. Nutrition and AI-assisted features

Nutrition values are estimates. Food databases, labels, recipes, user entries, and image analysis can be inaccurate because of portion size, preparation, ingredients, image quality, and other factors. Users must confirm AI-estimated entries before they are added.

If you choose food-photo analysis, the photo is transmitted to the AI processor named in the Privacy Policy solely to produce an estimate. That processor’s copy is deleted immediately after processing, and FitBound’s backend does not store the image or an image URL. A copy may remain only on your device if you choose to retain it. The first time you use photo or label scanning, FitBound shows a one-time notice confirming this before any photo is sent.

Some code, text, recommendations, classifications, estimates, and other components of the Service are created or improved with artificial intelligence. AI involvement does not reduce your responsibility to review outputs.

Nutrition consistency may affect the in-game Discipline attribute and an XP efficiency multiplier. It must not directly increase permanent physical-power attributes.

6. Game economy and virtual items

“Forge Coins” are gameplay currency designed to be earned through eligible activity. “Bound Gems” are premium, non-transferable currency generally acquired through an app store purchase. Virtual currencies and items:

• are a limited, personal, revocable license to use digital features;
• have no cash value, are not legal tender, are not property, and may not be redeemed for money except where applicable law requires;
• may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or used outside the Service;
• may be adjusted to correct errors, fraud, chargebacks, duplicated rewards, or game-balance issues;
• may become unavailable if the Service or an account is terminated, subject to applicable law and store requirements.

Bound Gems must not directly purchase permanent character power. They may be used for cosmetics, premium access, and temporary multipliers that still require the user to perform eligible activity. Store purchases and refunds are handled under the applicable Apple App Store or Google Play terms.

You may propose and accept item trades with other eligible players (subject to in-Service eligibility rules, such as a friendship requirement and, in some cases, a shared-gym trust window) solely as a feature of the Service. A trade conveys only the limited, revocable license described above from one account to another; it is never a sale, and no real-world money or value may change hands in connection with a trade. We may unwind, reverse, or refuse a trade we reasonably believe is fraudulent, exploitative, or used to circumvent these Terms.

7. Subscriptions and trials

Premium subscriptions are sold through Apple or Google, not directly through FitBound. Before purchase, the in-app purchase screen must clearly display the subscription name, included features, billing period, full localized renewal price, trial duration, post-trial price, auto-renewal, restore-purchase control, and links to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

An eligible user may receive a seven-day free trial. If you redeem another user’s referral code, you instead receive a one-time 14-day trial in place of (not in addition to) the standard seven-day trial; the referring user may receive Bound Gems (Section 6) once you complete a qualifying activity, subject to a lifetime limit on the number of referrals that earn a reward. Unless cancelled through the applicable store before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to the displayed paid plan and renews until cancelled. Deleting the app or a FitBound account does not automatically cancel a store subscription. Store eligibility, billing, cancellation, renewal, refund, grace-period, and price-change rules apply.

Any comparison price or savings statement must be genuine, current, substantiated, and clearly subordinate to the amount actually charged. FitBound must not display a fabricated “previous” price.

8. Acceptable use

You may not:

• falsify activity, interfere with sensors, automate workout submissions, evade verification, exploit a bug, duplicate rewards, reverse a charge after consuming digital value, or manipulate the economy;
• access another person’s account or nonpublic data;
• probe, scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, or circumvent security except where applicable law expressly permits;
• upload unlawful, infringing, abusive, malicious, deceptive, or privacy-invasive content;
• disrupt the Service, introduce malware, or use it to harm another person;
• use health or fitness data obtained through the Service for advertising, eligibility, employment, insurance, surveillance, or other unrelated profiling.

We may investigate suspected abuse, preserve relevant records, restrict features, reverse invalid rewards, or suspend an account when reasonably necessary.

9. User content and feedback

You retain ownership of content you create. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, reproduce, and display that content only as necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service consistent with the Privacy Policy.

Private custom exercises are visible only to their creator unless the creator later makes a separate, informed submission for publication. Feedback may be used without restriction or compensation, but we do not obtain ownership of your private health data through a feedback clause.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, excluding user content and identified third-party materials, is owned by Sacro Media or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant no right to use FitBound names, logos, characters, artwork, code, databases, or other materials except through the limited app license in the EULA.

11. Third-party services

The Service may rely on Supabase, Apple, Google, app stores, health platforms, AI processors, analytics, crash reporting, and other providers. Their services may have separate terms and privacy practices. We are responsible for selecting and governing our processors as required by law, but we do not control an independent third party’s service.

12. Beta service and changes

The beta may contain defects, incomplete features, balancing changes, data migrations, resets, interruptions, or compatibility problems. We may modify, add, suspend, or discontinue features, but we will provide legally required notice for material changes and will not retroactively reduce paid access in a manner prohibited by law or store policy.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” SACRO MEDIA DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR HEALTH, FITNESS, NUTRITION, OR PERFORMANCE GOALS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SACRO MEDIA AND ITS AFFILIATES, PERSONNEL, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.

These limitations do not apply where prohibited, including liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Sacro Media harmless from third-party claims arising from your unlawful use, your infringement of another person’s rights, your user content, or your material breach of these Terms. This does not require indemnification for our own negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, fraud, safety risk, legal requirement, or threat to the Service or others. Where appropriate, we will give notice and an opportunity to appeal. Provisions that by nature should survive termination will survive.

17. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by New Jersey law, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your residence gives you non-waivable rights.

Before filing a formal claim, each party will send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief and allow 30 days for an informal resolution.

Attorney decision required: Before release, counsel must choose and finalize either (a) New Jersey state/federal court venue or (b) a compliant consumer-arbitration clause with a meaningful opt-out, small-claims exception, fee allocation, provider/rules, mass-arbitration procedure, and class-action waiver. No arbitration clause should be activated from this placeholder.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will identify the version and effective date and provide legally required notice. Material changes may require renewed acceptance. Continued use after a valid effective date constitutes acceptance only where permitted by law.
