These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the mobile application currently distributed under the name "SquatLock" (the "App"), which is operated by Federico Balzi, an individual sole developer domiciled in Italy (the "Developer", "we", "us", or "our"), and you should read them carefully because they contain important information about your rights and obligations, including a health and safety disclaimer, an assumption of risk, limitations of liability, and a governing-law provision. Contact: app.fitnesslab@gmail.com. By downloading, installing, signing in to, or otherwise using the App you agree to be bound by these Terms; if you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the App. By using the App you represent and warrant that (a) you are at least 16 years old; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; (c) you are not barred from using the App under the laws of your jurisdiction; and (d) all information you provide is accurate.
The App is a personal-productivity and self-motivation tool. Its principal features are (i) allowing you to select apps on your device that you wish to restrict access to using Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls framework, and (ii) helping you count body-weight repetitions using your device's front camera and Apple's on-device Vision framework. Completed repetitions accumulate as "minutes" that unlock previously restricted apps for the corresponding amount of time. The reps-to-minutes ratio, the restrictions, and the unlock mechanism may change from time to time.
The App is a personal, non-medical, non-professional aid. It is not a fitness coach, a personal trainer, a medical device, or a diagnostic tool.
THE APP INVOLVES PHYSICAL EXERCISE. PHYSICAL EXERCISE CARRIES INHERENT RISKS. BY USING THE APP YOU EXPRESSLY ACCEPT THESE RISKS.
(a) Not medical advice. The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional coaching of any kind. No content displayed by the App is a substitute for advice from a qualified physician, physical therapist, licensed fitness professional, or other qualified healthcare provider.
(b) Consult a doctor before starting. You should consult a qualified physician before beginning any exercise program, and in particular before using the App, especially if you are pregnant, have or have ever had a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, chest pain, dizziness, joint or musculoskeletal problems, a history of stroke, diabetes, a chronic condition, an eating disorder, are recovering from surgery or an injury, are taking medication that affects your heart rate or balance, or if you have any other condition that could be aggravated by physical activity.
(c) You know your limits. You are solely responsible for evaluating your own physical condition, fitness level, environment, and equipment before, during, and after use of the App. Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pressure, nausea, faintness, or any other symptom that concerns you.
(d) Specific risks acknowledged. You understand and accept that using the App may result in, without limitation: muscular strain or tear; ligament, tendon, or joint injury (including but not limited to knees, hips, ankles, and lower back); falls, slips, and loss of balance resulting in bruising, sprains, fractures, or head injury; overexertion, dehydration, heat exhaustion; cardiovascular events including but not limited to elevated blood pressure, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and stroke; aggravation of pre-existing conditions; and, in extreme cases, permanent disability or death.
(e) Environment safety. You are responsible for choosing a safe environment in which to exercise, including but not limited to ensuring adequate space, level and non-slippery flooring, absence of nearby hard objects, sharp corners, or other hazards, secure placement of your phone, appropriate footwear, appropriate clothing, and adequate lighting and ventilation.
(f) No supervision. The App does not observe your form, biomechanics, technique, or safety. The pose-detection feature is an automated repetition counter, not a coach. It may miscount, fail to detect a repetition, count a repetition performed with poor form, or fail entirely. You must not rely on the App to correct your technique or protect you from injury.
(g) Assumption of risk. YOU VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, ILLNESS, OR OTHER HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH RISK IS SPECIFICALLY LISTED ABOVE.
(h) Release. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE THE DEVELOPER FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY, ILLNESS, OR DEATH THAT MAY BE SUSTAINED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE APP, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE DEVELOPER OR OTHERWISE.
(a) Subscription. Access to the App's premium features is provided through an auto-renewing monthly subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the price displayed to you in the App at the time of purchase.
(b) Free trial. New users receive a limited free trial as described in the App at sign-up. The trial is tracked locally on your device. When the trial ends, continued use of premium features requires an active subscription.
(c) Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for the same duration unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions, or via the "Manage subscription" option in the App.
(d) Refunds. All payments are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's refund policies. Except where required by mandatory local law, we do not process refunds directly. To request a refund, visit https://reportaproblem.apple.com/.
(e) Price changes. We may change subscription prices at any time. Any price change will apply only after your then-current billing period and only after notice as required by Apple and applicable law.
(f) Consumer withdrawal (EU / UK). If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. By purchasing a digital subscription and beginning to use it immediately you expressly request that performance begins during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that this may cause you to lose your right of withdrawal for the portion of the service you have used.
The blocking of apps is performed by Apple's Family Controls / Screen Time framework, which is provided and maintained by Apple. We integrate with this framework but do not control it. We do not warrant, and cannot warrant, that the App will restrict access to any particular app under all circumstances, at all times, on all devices, or in the manner you expect. Screen Time may be bypassed, disabled, or misconfigured by you, by another user of your device, or by iOS itself. The App is not a security tool. Do not rely on it to prevent access to sensitive content, to protect minors, or to enforce any legal or contractual obligation.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use.
You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (b) use the App for any purpose that is unlawful or in violation of these Terms; (c) automate, script, spoof, tamper with, or otherwise attempt to falsify the repetition counter, the minutes ledger, or the trial mechanism; (d) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise commercially exploit the App; (e) use the App in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Apple's services; (f) use the App on behalf of another person without their informed consent, or attempt to impose the App's restrictions on another person.
The App, its source code, design, content, name, logos, and all related intellectual property rights are owned by the Developer or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trade mark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, UNINTERRUPTED USE, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT THE APP WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY REDUCTION IN YOUR SCREEN-TIME USE, IMPROVEMENT IN FITNESS, OR CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR).
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE DEVELOPER WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) FIFTY EUROS (EUR 50).
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW SO REQUIRES, AND ANY STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; and (d) any injury, illness, or damage suffered by you or any other person in connection with the physical activity you perform while using the App.
The App relies on services provided by Apple Inc., including but not limited to Sign in with Apple, StoreKit, iCloud (CloudKit), Family Controls / Screen Time, and the Vision framework. Your use of those services is subject to Apple's own terms and privacy policies. The Developer is not responsible for the availability, performance, or content of any third-party service.
The App may not be available in all countries or regions, and features may vary by territory. We may add, remove, restrict, or modify features at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including the Health, Fitness, and Safety Disclaimer, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and this section) shall survive.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. Where the changes are material we will update the "Last updated" date and, where reasonably possible, notify you in-app. Your continued use of the App after any such change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Italy, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to any mandatory rules of consumer protection law that apply to you, the courts of Milan, Italy shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER RESIDING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE UNITED KINGDOM, OR ANOTHER JURISDICTION WHOSE LAW GRANTS YOU MANDATORY PROTECTIONS THAT CANNOT BE DEROGATED FROM BY AGREEMENT, THOSE PROTECTIONS CONTINUE TO APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS IN, OR HAVE THE PROTECTIONS OF, THE LAW OF YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE.
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content and has no obligation to provide any 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, who will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the App.
