Acknowledgment

These are the Terms and Conditions governing the use of this Service and the agreement that operates between You and the Company. These Terms and Conditions set out the rights and obligations of all users regarding the use of the Service.

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on Your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service You agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If You disagree with any part of these Terms and Conditions then You may not access the Service.

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. If You are below the age at which You may legally consent on Your own, You may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian and where permitted by applicable law. A child who cannot legally consent to the processing required for a GOLDEN Sports Account may create one only with the authorization required from a parent or legal guardian.

Your access to and use of the Service is also conditioned on Your acceptance of and compliance with the Privacy Policy of the Company. Our Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your personal information when You use the Application or the Website and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You. Please read Our Privacy Policy carefully before using Our Service.

Fitness, Health and Exercise Recognition

The Service provides general fitness information and exercise-counting features. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a medical device and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

You are responsible for deciding whether an exercise is appropriate for You. Consider consulting a qualified healthcare professional before beginning or changing an exercise program, particularly if You have an injury, medical condition, symptoms, or concerns about Your health. Stop exercising and seek appropriate assistance if You experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath beyond what is normal for You, or other concerning symptoms.

Use the Service in a safe environment with sufficient space and position Your Device so that it does not create a hazard. Exercise recognition relies on camera input, device conditions, Your positioning, and automated estimation. Repetitions, exercise types, form feedback, and other results may be missed, delayed, or counted incorrectly and must not be relied upon for medical, safety-critical, or professional decisions.

Subscriptions

Subscription period

The Service or some parts of the Service may be available only with a paid Subscription or Lifetime License. For a Subscription, You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the Subscription plan You select.

At the end of each period, Your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless You cancel it or the Company cancels it.

Subscription cancellations

You may cancel Your Subscription renewal through the Application Store through which You purchased it. Cancellation stops future renewals but normally does not remove access before the end of the current paid period. Refund eligibility is governed by applicable law and the Application Store's policies.

Billing

All billing for Subscriptions and Lifetime Licenses offered through an In-app Purchase is handled by the Application Store and is governed by the Application Store's own terms and conditions. You are responsible for keeping the billing and payment information provided to the Application Store accurate and current. The Company does not receive Your complete payment-card or bank-account details.

Fee Changes

The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period.

The Company will provide You with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Refunds

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.

Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Company.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app purchase, the Application Store's refund policy will apply. If You wish to request a refund, You may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.

Free Trial

The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a Free Trial for a limited period of time.

You may be required to provide billing information to the Application Store in order to sign up for the Free Trial.

Unless You cancel through the Application Store before the Free Trial expires, the Application Store may automatically charge the applicable Subscription fee according to the offer displayed when You started the Free Trial.

At any time and without notice, the Company reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Lifetime Licenses

A Lifetime License is charged once and does not renew automatically. It grants access to the paid features identified at purchase within the applicable Application and Application Store account. Unless expressly stated at purchase, it does not include separately offered future products or services. Restoration and use on other Devices are subject to the Application Store's account and restoration mechanisms.

In-app Purchases

The Application may include In-app Purchases that allow you to buy products, services, Subscriptions, or Lifetime Licenses.

More information about how you may be able to manage In-app Purchases using your Device may be set out in the Application Store's own terms and conditions or in your Device's Help settings.

In-app Purchases can only be consumed within the Application. If you make a In-app Purchase, that In-app Purchase cannot be cancelled after you have initiated its download. In-app Purchases cannot be redeemed for cash or other consideration or otherwise transferred.

If any In-app Purchase is not successfully downloaded or does not work once it has been successfully downloaded, we will, after becoming aware of the fault or being notified to the fault by You, investigate the reason for the fault. We will act reasonably in deciding whether to provide You with a replacement In-app Purchase or issue You with a patch to repair the fault. In no event will We charge You to replace or repair the In-app Purchase. In the unlikely event that we are unable to replace or repair the relevant In-app Purchase or are unable to do so within a reasonable period of time and without significant inconvenience to You, We will authorize the Application Store to refund You an amount up to the cost of the relevant In-app Purchase. Alternatively, if You wish to request a refund, You may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.

You acknowledge and agree that all billing and transaction processes are handled by the Application Store from where you downloaded the Application and are governed by that Application Store's own terms and conditions.

If you have any payment related issues with In-app Purchases, then you need to contact the Application Store directly.

App Blocker

App Blocker is an optional feature currently offered in GOLDEN Push-Ups. It allows You to select other applications to block and to complete an exercise-based workout before receiving a temporary access window. Certain App Blocker options, including blocking multiple applications at the same time, may require a Subscription or Lifetime License as shown in the Application.

App Blocker depends on operating-system technologies and permissions, including Apple's Screen Time technologies on iOS and Accessibility access on Android. You may disable the feature or revoke the relevant permission through the Application or applicable system settings.

The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or exact blocking. Blocking can be delayed, interrupted, or disabled by revoked permissions, force-stopping the Application, battery or background restrictions, Device-manufacturer behavior, operating-system updates, restarts, software incompatibilities, or other circumstances outside the Company's control. A temporary access window may also begin or end with a short technical delay.

Do not rely on App Blocker to prevent access to emergency, safety-critical, authentication, payment, travel, communication, or other essential applications. You remain responsible for Your Device use, the applications You select, Your App Blocker settings, and exercising safely. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Promotions

Any Promotions made available through the Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms.

If You participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will apply.

GOLDEN Sports Accounts

When You create a GOLDEN Sports Account with Us, You must provide Us information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of Your GOLDEN Sports Account on Our Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that You use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under Your password, whether Your password is with Our Service or a Third-Party Social Media Service.

You agree not to disclose Your password to any third party. You must notify Us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of Your GOLDEN Sports Account.

You may not use as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than You without appropriate authorization, or a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.

Your Right to Post Content

Our Service allows You to post Content. You are responsible for the Content that You post to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness.

By posting Content to the Service, You grant Us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service. You retain any and all of Your rights to any Content You submit, post or display on or through the Service and You are responsible for protecting those rights. You agree that this license includes the right for Us to make Your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use Your Content subject to these Terms.

Content Restrictions

The Company is not responsible for the content of the Service's users. You expressly understand and agree that You are solely responsible for the Content and for all activity that occurs under Your GOLDEN Sports Account, whether done so by You or any third person using Your GOLDEN Sports Account.

You may not transmit any Content that is unlawful, offensive, upsetting, intended to disgust, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable. Examples of such objectionable Content include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Unlawful or promoting unlawful activity.
• Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups.

The Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not any Content is appropriate and complies with these Terms, refuse or remove this Content. The Company further reserves the right to make formatting and edits and change the manner of any Content. The Company can also limit or revoke the use of the Service if You post such objectionable Content. As the Company cannot control all content posted by users and/or third parties on the Service, you agree to use the Service at your own risk. You understand that by using the Service You may be exposed to content that You may find offensive, indecent, incorrect or objectionable, and You agree that under no circumstances will the Company be liable in any way for any content, including any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of any content.

Content Backups

Although regular backups of Content are performed, the Company does not guarantee there will be no loss or corruption of data.

Corrupt or invalid backup points may be caused by, without limitation, Content that is corrupted prior to being backed up or that changes during the time a backup is performed.

The Company will provide support and attempt to troubleshoot any known or discovered issues that may affect the backups of Content. But You acknowledge that the Company has no liability related to the integrity of Content or the failure to successfully restore Content to a usable state.

You agree to maintain a complete and accurate copy of any Content in a location independent of the Service.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company and any of its suppliers under any provision of this Terms and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by You through the Service or 100 USD if You haven't purchased anything through the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Terms), even if the Company or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the Company provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Service will meet Your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards or be error free or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to You. But in such a case the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.
