5. Right of withdrawal (digital content)

For digital content, the right of withdrawal may expire early if performance has begun with your express consent before the end of the withdrawal period. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple according to their policies.

6. License (EULA)

We grant you a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use the app on devices linked to your Apple Account for private purposes. Prohibited are, among others, reverse engineering (to the extent legally permissible), redistribution, circumvention of access restrictions as well as extracting/reusing the exercise catalog and the images. In addition, Apple's standard EULA applies: Standard EULA.

7. Third-party content / image rights

The exercise and anatomy images used in the app and on the website are used on the basis of an acquired, non-exclusive, commercial royalty-free license. The copyright and usage rights remain with the respective licensor. Independent reuse, redistribution or downloading of the images beyond the intended use of the app and website is not permitted.

8. Health notice & personal responsibility

Strength training and physical activity involve health risks (including injuries, overuse, circulatory problems). You are yourself responsible for paying attention to your health and your physical limits. GymLoad serves solely to organize and log your training and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and no qualified training or physiotherapy instruction.

Before starting to train. Clarify the suitability of training – especially in the case of pre-existing conditions, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, injuries, surgeries, chronic complaints, during pregnancy, when taking medication or if you have been inactive for a long time – with a doctor in advance. When in doubt, start with a low dose and increase slowly.

During training. Take personal responsibility for:

• correct technique, adequate warm-up and weights/intensities appropriate for you;
• training only in the pain-free range – stop immediately at warning signs (e.g. pain, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, visual disturbances);
• sufficient recovery, hydration as well as a safe training place and flawless, correctly secured equipment (if necessary with a training partner/spotter).

Suggested content. Exercises, plans, weight/rep or 1RM values displayed by the app as well as suggestions from the plan assistant are non-binding orientation aids without any claim to suitability, completeness or correctness for your individual situation. Whether and how you implement them is your own decision and responsibility.

Health data. Values displayed in the app or via Apple Watch/Apple Health (e.g. heart rate, calories) are for information only and are not intended for medical purposes. In a health emergency, call the emergency number (112 in the EU).

Use of the app and the performance of training are carried out entirely at your own risk (cf. section 9).

9. Personal responsibility & liability

GymLoad is exclusively a tool for logging and organizing your own training. The app gives no medical or sports-science recommendations and assumes no responsibility for the selection, execution, intensity or suitability of exercises. Use of the app and the performance of training are entirely at your own risk. You alone decide and are responsible for whether and how you perform exercises (see section 8).

9.1 Unlimited liability. We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, for fraudulent concealment of a defect, to the extent of a guarantee assumed, and under mandatory statutory provisions (in particular the German Product Liability Act).

9.2 Simple negligence. In the case of simple negligence, we are only liable for the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation, the fulfillment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you regularly rely). In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract at the time of conclusion.

9.3 Exclusion of liability otherwise. Any further liability is – to the extent legally permissible – excluded. Excluded in particular are claims for indirect damage, consequential damage, lost profits as well as for health consequences of training or of decisions you make based on the app.

9.4 Suggested content & calculations. Exercises, plans, plan-assistant suggestions displayed by the app as well as calculated values (e.g. weight/rep recommendations, 1RM, volume) are non-binding orientation aids without warranty of correctness, completeness or suitability in individual cases; liability for these is limited in accordance with sections 9.1–9.3.

9.5 Data loss & backups. Your training data is stored on your device. You are yourself responsible for regularly backing up your data (device backup, the app's export function). In the case of simple negligence, our liability for data loss is limited to the damage that would also have occurred with proper, regular data backup on your part.

9.6 Availability & third-party services. We do not owe uninterrupted availability of the server/CDN services (see section 10); the bundled basic content is available offline. We assume no liability for third-party services – in particular the Apple App Store, payment processing by Apple, Apple Health/Apple Watch functions as well as linked offers.

9.7 Free use. Insofar as you use the app free of charge (Free version), we are liable – notwithstanding section 9.1 – only for intent and gross negligence.

9.8 Contributory negligence & obligations. Our liability lapses or is reduced insofar as you have contributed to the damage (§ 254 German Civil Code), e.g. through improper use, non-observance of the health and safety notices (section 8), outdated app/system versions or insufficient protection of your Apple Account and your data.

9.9 Personal scope. The above limitations of liability also apply for the benefit of our legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents.

9.10 Limitation period. Claims against us become time-barred – except in the cases of section 9.1 – within twelve months of knowledge or grossly negligent lack of knowledge, at the latest upon expiry of the statutory maximum periods.

10. Availability

We strive for high availability but do not owe uninterrupted accessibility of server/CDN services. The bundled basic content is available offline.

11. Changes to the terms

We may adjust these terms with effect for the future; material changes will be communicated in an appropriate form.

12. Applicable law / place of jurisdiction

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. Place of jurisdiction, where permissible: Hamburg.
