1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Valda Fitness app ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. The Service is provided by Valda Fitness Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No: 17080349), Registered Office: 71-75 Shelton St, London WC2H 9JQ. Your contract is with Valda Fitness Ltd. These terms are governed by English law, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms and consents to your use of the Service.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Refunds Policy, each of which forms part of your agreement with us.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to scrape, harvest, or extract data.
• Input fraudulent health data or attempt to circumvent subscription access controls.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise derive the source code of the Service.
• Upload content that you do not have the right to upload, or that infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.
• Use the Service to redistribute, publish, or make available to third parties any content that is not your own.
• Rely on AI-generated coaching insights, cycle-tracking observations, or pregnancy-related information as a substitute for professional medical advice. Valda Fitness is not a medical provider. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about your health, training, or pregnancy.

3. Health & Wellness Features — Important Disclaimers

3.1 Not a Medical Device

The Service is a fitness logging and general wellness tool. It is not a medical device, is not registered or regulated as a medical device under UK MHRA or EU MDR regulations, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. No feature of the Service — including AI coaching, cycle tracking, pregnancy mode, or exercise information — constitutes medical advice, clinical guidance, or a healthcare recommendation.

3.2 Menstrual Cycle Tracking

The Service allows you to log menstrual cycle data, including flow levels and personal observations (energy, mood, discomfort, sleep, bloating). Any patterns, phase labels, or correlations displayed are based on your self-reported data and published general research. They are presented for informational purposes only and do not constitute a diagnosis of any hormonal, reproductive, or gynaecological condition.

AI coaching may reference your logged cycle data using observational language (e.g., "your data shows", "you may want to consider"). These observations are not instructions. You always make the final decision about your training.

3.3 Pregnancy Mode

The Service offers a pregnancy tracking mode that displays general information about trimesters and exercise considerations. This information is drawn from published research and clinical guidelines (e.g., ACOG, UK Chief Medical Officers, IOC) and is presented as general reference material, not personalised medical advice.

Exercise information dialogs may display published research findings about specific exercises during pregnancy. These citations are informational only — the Service does not recommend, restrict, or prescribe any exercise programme. You are responsible for consulting your healthcare provider about the suitability of any exercise during your pregnancy.

3.4 AI Coaching

AI-generated coaching insights are produced by third-party language models (Anthropic) and are designed to inform, not instruct. The AI may reflect your logged data back to you and reference published research, but it does not provide personalised medical or health recommendations. AI outputs may contain errors, omissions, or information that is not applicable to your individual circumstances.

3.5 Assumption of Risk

Exercise carries inherent risks, which may be elevated during pregnancy or in the presence of medical conditions. By using the Service, you acknowledge that:

• You are solely responsible for determining whether any exercise is appropriate for you, taking into account your medical history, current health, and any advice from your healthcare provider.
• The Service does not replace the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, midwife, obstetrician, or physiotherapist.
• You will seek professional medical advice before beginning or modifying any exercise programme during pregnancy or if you have any health concerns.

4. User Content

4.1 Your Content

The Service allows you to upload, paste, import, or otherwise provide training programmes, workout data, personal records, observations, notes, and other content ("User Content") for your personal use within the Service. This includes but is not limited to programmes you receive from coaches, export from other fitness applications, copy from publicly available sources, or create yourself.

You retain all rights you hold in your User Content. Valda Fitness Ltd does not claim ownership of any User Content you provide.

4.2 Your Rights and Responsibilities

You represent and warrant that:

• You have all necessary rights, licences, permissions, and authority to upload, store, and use your User Content through the Service;
• Your User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party;
• You are solely responsible for the legality and propriety of any User Content you provide;
• You have the right to any third-party training programme, coaching instruction, or reference material you input into the Service, whether by ownership, licence, purchase, or fair use.

You acknowledge that the Service processes User Content as-provided and does not verify its legitimacy, accuracy, or your rights to use it.

4.3 Licence to Process Your Content

You grant Valda Fitness Ltd a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process, display, adapt, analyse, and generate coaching insights from your User Content for the sole purpose of delivering the Service to you. This includes:

• Parsing uploaded training programmes into structured data within your account;
• Displaying your User Content back to you across any devices on which you use the Service;
• Processing your User Content through our AI coaching engine to generate personalised insights for you;
• Storing your User Content on our infrastructure and on third-party infrastructure we use to operate the Service (as described in our Privacy Policy).

This licence terminates when you delete the relevant User Content or close your account, except where retention is required by law, for fraud prevention, or for legitimate backup purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

4.4 No Redistribution

Valda Fitness Ltd does not publish, redistribute, share, sell, or otherwise make your User Content available to other users of the Service or to third parties. User Content is accessible only to you, to authorised Valda Fitness personnel strictly for the purposes of operating the Service or providing support, and to service providers we use to deliver the Service (under confidentiality obligations and as described in our Privacy Policy).

The Service may display third-party training methods, programme structures, and exercise information as part of its core functionality (for example, recognising programme patterns in your uploads to apply appropriate coaching logic). Where the Service uses generic, descriptive, or original text to describe general training methods, this is Valda Fitness Ltd's own editorial content and is not a republication of any specific third party's material.

4.5 Indemnity for User Content

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Valda Fitness Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, expense, or liability (including reasonable legal costs) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your User Content;
• Your breach of the warranties in Section 4.2;
• Any claim that your User Content infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.

This indemnity does not apply to any claim arising solely from Valda Fitness Ltd's own publication of its editorial content within the Service.

5. Intellectual Property

The Valda Fitness name, brand, software, and associated algorithms are the intellectual property of Nexus Tier Ventures Ltd (Company No: 17073655) and are used by Valda Fitness Ltd under licence. All rights reserved. No content, branding, or software within the Service may be reproduced or distributed without our express written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Valda Fitness Ltd's or Nexus Tier Ventures Ltd's intellectual property to you, and nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of your User Content to Valda Fitness Ltd.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

6.1 Free and Paid Tiers

The Service is offered on both a free tier and paid subscription tiers. The free tier is provided at no cost and does not require payment details. Paid tiers unlock additional features as described on our pricing page at the time of subscription.

6.2 Subscription Terms

Paid subscriptions are billed through our payment provider (Paddle.com Market Ltd acting as merchant of record for web subscriptions, or Apple App Store / Google Play Store for mobile subscriptions) in accordance with the pricing displayed at the point of sale. Subscription fees include applicable taxes where required by law.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for that subscription tier, unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through the management portal provided by the relevant payment provider.

6.3 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices for new subscriptions at any time. For existing subscribers, any price change will take effect at the next renewal following at least 30 days' notice sent to the email address associated with your account. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before the renewal date and the change will not apply to you.

Founder pricing, where offered and accepted, is locked in for the lifetime of the active subscription and will not be increased while the subscription remains in continuous good standing. If a founder-tier subscription lapses or is cancelled, founder pricing does not carry over to any new subscription.

6.4 Refunds

Refund eligibility is set out in our Refunds Policy. For web subscriptions, refund requests are handled by us in accordance with UK consumer law and our Refunds Policy. For App Store subscriptions, refund requests must be directed to Apple. For Google Play subscriptions, refund requests must be directed to Google.

6.5 "Free Forever" Features

Certain features are described as "free forever" or "free tier." We commit to maintaining a free tier of the Service that includes the core features listed as free on our pricing page at the time you sign up. We reserve the right to modify, add, or remove specific features within the free tier, and to add paid features to the Service, provided that the overall availability of a free tier is preserved. We will not move previously-free features to paid tiers without providing existing free-tier users at least 30 days' notice and a reasonable transition period.

7. Account Termination

7.1 Termination by You

You may close your account at any time by using the account deletion feature within the Service or by contacting us at support@valda.fit. Upon account closure, your User Content will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to any legally required retention periods.

If you have an active paid subscription, cancelling your account does not automatically terminate your subscription — you must also cancel the subscription through the relevant payment provider (see Section 6.2).

7.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if:

• You materially breach these Terms, including the Acceptable Use provisions in Section 2 or the User Content warranties in Section 4;
• We are required to do so by law, regulation, or court order;
• Your continued use of the Service poses a security, legal, or operational risk to Valda Fitness Ltd, other users, or third parties;
• You engage in fraudulent payment activity or chargebacks;
• Your account has been inactive for more than 24 consecutive months (for free-tier accounts only; paid subscribers are not subject to inactivity termination while their subscription is active).

Where reasonably practicable, we will give you notice before termination and an opportunity to address the issue. Where termination is due to a serious breach, legal requirement, or security concern, we may terminate immediately.

7.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination:

• Your access to the Service will cease;
• Your User Content will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy;
• Any outstanding subscription fees remain payable up to the effective date of termination;
• Sections 4.5 (Indemnity), 5 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Limitation of Liability), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination, will continue to apply.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes via the email address associated with your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. For non-material changes (such as clarifications, typographical corrections, or updates required by law), we may update these Terms without advance notice but will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

Continued use of the Service after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and may close your account under Section 7.1.

9. Limitation of Liability

• Liability Cap: To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of your use of the Service is limited to the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.
• Health Features: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Valda Fitness Ltd accepts no liability for any injury, illness, adverse health outcome, or loss arising from your reliance on cycle-tracking data, pregnancy-related information, exercise information, or AI coaching outputs provided by the Service. These features are informational tools — not medical services.
• User Content: Valda Fitness Ltd accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or claim arising from the User Content you provide to the Service, including any third-party claim that your User Content infringes their rights. You are solely responsible for your User Content as set out in Section 4.
• Exclusions: Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
