Terms of Service

Welcome to Strength Academy.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Strength Academy SARL, a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland ("Strength Academy", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the website https://strengthacademy.app, the associated web application, and all related services, tools, features, and content (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Description of the Service

Strength Academy is a digital platform designed to provide sports training programming, performance tracking, mobility assessment, nutrition management, and communication tools. The Service enables athletes ("Athletes" or "Clients") to follow training programs, log workouts, track performance metrics, assess mobility, manage nutrition, upload videos, and interact with coaches and other users. The Service also enables professional coaches ("Coaches") to create and sell training programs, monitor athlete progress, provide feedback, communicate with clients, and manage their coaching activity through a dedicated dashboard.

Strength Academy acts as a technology provider and platform facilitator and does not itself provide sports coaching, medical advice, or nutrition counseling.

2. Account Registration, Inscription and Desinscription

To access the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information. You agree to maintain the accuracy of this information at all times. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity occurring under your account, whether authorized by you or not.

Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

You may register as an Athlete or as a Coach. Strength Academy reserves the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any account at its sole discretion, particularly in cases of suspected fraud, misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or risk to the safety of users or the Platform.

You may delete your account at any time through your account settings. Account deletion will result in the loss of access to all data, content, programs, and subscriptions associated with your account. Certain data may be retained as required by law or as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Eligibility and Minors

The Service is intended primarily for users who are at least 18 years old. Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may use the Service only with the prior consent and active supervision of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing a minor to use the Service, the parent or legal guardian accepts full responsibility for the minor's use of the Service and compliance with these Terms. In any case, the use of the Application by minors must be conducted under the responsibility of their parents or legal guardians. Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory provisions to the contrary, we disclaim all liability for any use of the Application by minors without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.

Strength Academy does not knowingly allow children under the age of 13 to create accounts or use the Service. If we become aware that a user is under 13, we reserve the right to immediately terminate the account and delete associated data.

4. Medical, Fitness, and Nutrition Disclaimer

Strength Academy is not a medical organization and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Service is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Before beginning any exercise program, training plan, mobility routine, or nutrition plan available through the Service, you should consult a qualified physician or other healthcare professional, particularly if you have a medical condition, injury, are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have any other health concerns.

Nothing on the Service, including training programs, mobility assessments, pain-related content, performance data, nutrition targets, calorie estimations, or AI-generated outputs, should be interpreted as medical or professional healthcare advice. You acknowledge that physical activity involves inherent risks, including the risk of injury, illness, disability, or death. By using the Service, you voluntarily assume all such risks.

The "pain" or "pain relief" features of the Service are designed solely for general education and self-awareness regarding minor discomforts. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. If you experience severe, persistent, or worsening pain, you should discontinue use of the Service and seek medical attention immediately.

5. Misinterpretation of Exercises and Content

You acknowledge that training programs, exercise descriptions, videos, and feedback provided through the Service may be subject to misinterpretation. Factors such as camera angle, video quality, delayed feedback, or lack of in-person supervision may affect the accuracy of exercise execution.

You understand that feedback provided by Coaches is based solely on the information and media you provide and may not reflect your actual execution or physical condition. You agree that you remain solely responsible for the execution of exercises and for stopping any activity that causes pain, discomfort, dizziness, or injury.

6. Coaches, Athletes, and Marketplace Model

Strength Academy provides a platform that enables Athletes and Coaches to connect. Coaches using the Service are independent professionals and are not employees, agents, or representatives of Strength Academy.

When an Athlete purchases a training program or coaching service, the resulting relationship is solely between the Athlete and the Coach. Strength Academy does not control, supervise, or guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or appropriateness of the services provided by Coaches. Any advice, feedback, or instruction provided by a Coach is given under the Coach's sole responsibility.

Coaches represent and warrant that they possess all certifications, qualifications, licenses, and insurance required under applicable laws to provide fitness or nutrition-related services. Coaches are solely responsible for the content of their programs and interactions with Athletes.

Training sessions may take place in third-party facilities such as gyms, clubs, or training centers. Strength Academy has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the condition, safety, equipment, supervision, or policies of such facilities. Any injury or damage occurring in third-party locations is solely your responsibility.

Strength Academy disclaims all liability arising from the acts, omissions, advice, or services of Coaches or third parties, whether occurring online or offline.

7. User Content

The Service allows users to upload, store, and share content, including text, images, videos, training data, nutrition logs, and messages ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. By uploading or submitting User Content, you grant Strength Academy a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process such content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service. Where applicable, you also grant the same limited license to your designated Coach to enable coaching feedback and program delivery.

You are solely responsible for the User Content you upload and represent that you have all necessary rights to submit such content. You agree not to upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, abusive, discriminatory, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate. Strength Academy reserves the right to remove User Content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users on Strength Academy. Objectionable content includes, without limitation, harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech, sexual or pornographic material, graphic violence, content that promotes self-harm, spam, and impersonation. You agree not to post such content or to harass, threaten, or abuse any other user anywhere on the Service, including in the activity feed, comments, direct messages, and community chats.

Every user-generated post, comment, message, and review can be reported from within the app, and you can block any user to stop seeing their content and prevent them from contacting you. We review reported content and will act on objectionable content — including removing the content and ejecting the user who provided it — within 24 hours of a report. We may also suspend or permanently terminate the accounts of users who violate this policy. To report content or a user, use the report option next to the content, or contact us at info@strengthacademy.app.

8. Artificial Intelligence Features

Certain features of the Service use artificial intelligence technologies provided by third parties — Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI — including meal photo analysis, athlete intelligence and stories, technique video analysis, and the coach assistant. These features operate only after you have given explicit consent to AI processing in the app, which you can withdraw at any time in your settings; the data shared with the AI providers per feature is described in our Privacy Policy.

AI features provide estimates and suggestions only and may not be accurate. Strength Academy does not guarantee the correctness, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated outputs. You acknowledge that AI-generated training, nutrition, and technique content is provided for convenience and informational purposes only, must not be relied upon for medical or therapeutic decisions, and does not replace the judgment of a qualified human coach or healthcare professional.

You agree not to upload images or videos containing faces of non-consenting third parties, identifiable individuals unrelated to your training, or sensitive personal information unrelated to the analysis when using AI-powered features.

9. Payments, Subscriptions, and Fees

Payments for subscriptions, programs, or other paid features are processed through third-party payment providers such as Stripe. Strength Academy does not store full payment card details.

Prices, billing cycles, and applicable fees are displayed at the time of purchase. Unless otherwise required by law, all payments are non-refundable. Coaches determine the pricing and refund policies for their own programs, and any disputes related to coaching services must be resolved directly between the Athlete and the Coach. Strength Academy is not responsible for disputes regarding the quality or outcomes of coaching services.

Strength Academy may charge platform fees or subscription fees for access to certain features. You may cancel a subscription at any time through your account settings, and cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period.

10. Service Availability and Interruption

While we strive to provide continuous access to the Service, Strength Academy does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, system failures, or factors beyond our reasonable control.

Strength Academy shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from service interruptions, data loss, or delays in access, except as required by mandatory law.

11. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Service, including the software, design, algorithms, databases, trademarks, logos, and the "Strength Academy" brand, are owned by or licensed to Strength Academy. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or exploit any part of the Service without prior written permission.

12. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time through the Service. Strength Academy reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if your use of the Service poses a legal, security, or operational risk.

Upon termination, your right to access the Service will cease immediately. Certain provisions of these Terms, including liability limitations and governing law, will survive termination.

13. Force Majeure

Strength Academy shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, labor disputes, power failures, internet outages, governmental actions, war, terrorism, or failures of third-party service providers.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Strength Academy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Strength Academy's total liability for any claim arising under or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to Strength Academy during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded under Swiss law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts at the registered office of Strength Academy, currently located in Lausanne, Canton of Vaud, subject to appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.
