Fundamentally Astute Athletics (iPhone and Android)
Developer
GraniteMind (Private) Limited, Harare, Zimbabwe

1. About These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and us for your use of the Fundamentally Astute Athletics mobile application for iPhone and Android ("the App", "FAA"). The App delivers coached strength and conditioning programmes, records the training you do, lets you message your coach, and includes a filmed movement check that a coach reads.

The App is a product of GraniteMind (Private) Limited ("GraniteMind AI", "we", "us", "our"), which builds and operates it, made in partnership with Fundamentally Astute Athletics, the coaching practice whose coaches write the programmes and read the movement checks.

These Terms apply specifically to the App and are separate from the general terms of GraniteMind AI covering our other services. By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

How we handle your personal information is set out in the App's Privacy Policy at granitemind.ai/faa/privacy, which forms part of these Terms.

2. Who Can Use the App

  • The App is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it, and you confirm that you are able to enter into this agreement yourself.
  • The date of birth you give must be your real one. It confirms your age and decides which training is suitable for you.

3. Your Account

  • You sign in with your email address and a code we send you, with Google, or (on iPhone) with Apple.
  • An account is for one person. Do not share it, and do not use someone else's.
  • Keep your email account and your phone secure. You are responsible for what is done through your account, and you should tell us straight away at legal@granitemind.ai if you think someone else has used it.
  • Give accurate information about yourself, including your age, your training experience and any injury, pain or medical condition a coach should know about. Your programme is built on it.

4. A Training App, Not Medical Advice

The App is a fitness and training tool. It is not a medical service, and nothing in it is medical advice, a diagnosis or treatment.

  • Check with a doctor before you start a programme, especially if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, an injury, are pregnant or have recently given birth, or have any other condition that exercise could affect.
  • If you are injured, go through the programme with your physiotherapist before you follow it.
  • Programmes written for a particular group of people or a particular health goal are fitness training. They do not replace the care, advice or medication you get from a doctor or other health professional.
  • FAA's coaches are strength and conditioning coaches. They are not acting as doctors, physiotherapists or biokineticists when they write a programme, read a movement check or answer a message.
  • The App is not for emergencies. If you feel chest pain, faint, or are badly hurt, stop and get medical help.

5. Training Safely

Exercise carries a risk of injury. You choose to train, and you are responsible for training within what your body can manage.

  • Follow the instructions and coaching cues for each exercise, and use weights and equipment you can control.
  • Check that your equipment and the space around you are safe before you start.
  • Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath that is not normal for you, or anything that worries you, and get advice before you carry on.
  • Starting weights and other suggestions in the App are guidance, not instructions. You decide what you lift.
  • If you build your own programme in the App, or change one, you are responsible for the choices you make in it.

6. The Movement Check

The movement check films you doing a short set of movements so that a coach can see how you move and adjust your programme.

  • It is a check of how you move. It is not a medical examination and it does not diagnose an injury or a condition.
  • Every movement check is read by an FAA coach. An AI service gives a first read of still pictures taken from an adult's videos, which the coach sees beside their own. The coach's answers decide your result.
  • A result is the coach's judgement from what the videos show. It can miss things a person standing next to you would see. If a result tells you to see a doctor, please do.
  • Film only yourself. Do not film anyone else, and choose a place where nobody else appears in the video.
  • Filming starts only after you agree to the filming wording shown in the App. The Privacy Policy explains what happens to the videos.

7. Coaches and Messages

  • You can exchange text messages and voice notes with your coach in the App. Coaches reply when they are able to; the App is not a way to reach someone urgently.
  • Keep messages respectful and about training. Do not send anything abusive, threatening, sexual or unlawful.

If you use the App as a coach, you also agree to the following:

  • Use what you see about an athlete only to coach that athlete, and keep it confidential.
  • Coach within your own training and qualifications.
  • If you add an exercise to the App, you confirm it is yours to share. We may review it, edit it and add it to the App's library for other people to use.

8. What You Put Into the App

You keep ownership of what you put into the App: your profile photo, your training log and notes, your movement-check videos, your messages and voice notes.

You give us permission to store that content and to show it to the people described in the Privacy Policy (for example your coach), only so that the App can do its job. We do not use your videos or pictures to train AI models, and we will ask you separately before we ever do.

You are responsible for what you upload. Do not upload anything that is not yours to share, that shows another person without their agreement, or that is unlawful.

9. Using the App Fairly

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for anything unlawful, or to harm or harass another person.
  • Pretend to be someone else, or give a false age.
  • Try to reach another person's account or data, or get around the App's security or its age check.
  • Copy, resell or publish the App's programmes, exercise pictures or other content, or use the App to coach paying clients of your own without our agreement.
  • Reverse engineer the App, scrape it, or use automated tools against it, except where the law gives you a right to that we cannot remove.
  • Interfere with the App or the services it runs on.

10. What Belongs to Us

The App, its design and software, the programmes, the exercise library, the exercise pictures and the written coaching in it belong to GraniteMind AI and Fundamentally Astute Athletics, or to those who license them to us.

We give you a personal, non-transferable permission to use the App and its content for your own training, for as long as you have an account and keep to these Terms. Nothing else in the App is given to you.

11. Medical Aid or Insurer Link

If you enter an insurer's code and agree, the App shares a summary of your training with that insurer, as described in the Privacy Policy. This is optional and you can stop sharing at any time in the App.

Any reward, discount or benefit an insurer offers is between you and that insurer and is governed by its own rules. We do not promise that using the App will earn you one.

12. Cost

The App is currently free to use. Paid subscriptions are not part of the current App, and we will update these Terms and tell you in the App before any paid feature is offered to you.

The App uses your internet connection, including to upload movement-check videos, which are large. Any data charges from your mobile network are yours to pay.

13. Availability and Changes to the App

The App is still being developed. We may add, change or remove features and programmes, and a coach may change your programme, for example after a movement check.

We try to keep the App available and working, but we do not promise that it will always be available, free of errors, or work on every device. Keep the App up to date: some features need the latest version.

The App relies on services run by others, including Google Play and Apple's App Store, sign-in with Google or Apple, Google's and Apple's notification services, and our hosting provider. Those services have their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

14. Ending Your Use

You can stop at any time. Open Profile, then Settings, and choose "Delete my account", or email privacy@granitemind.ai. The Privacy Policy explains what is deleted.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, that puts another person at risk, or where the law requires it. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you why first and give you the chance to put it right.

Sections 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 16 and 17 continue to apply after your account is closed.

15. Disclaimers

We provide the App with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, the App and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without any other promise, whether express or implied.

In particular, we do not promise that following a programme will produce any particular result, such as a time, a weight, a place on a team, a change in your body or an improvement in your health, or that training with the App is free of risk.

16. Limit of Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • GraniteMind AI, Fundamentally Astute Athletics and its coaches are not liable for injury, loss or damage that results from your training, from relying on the App's content, or from not following Sections 4 and 5.
  • We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, income or opportunity.
  • Our total liability to you in connection with the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, and US$100.

Nothing in these Terms removes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be removed or limited, including liability for gross negligence or for fraud, or any right you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Zimbabwe, where GraniteMind AI is registered, and the courts of Zimbabwe have jurisdiction over disputes about them. This does not take away any protection or any right to bring a claim that the consumer law of the country where you live gives you.

If you have a complaint, please contact us first at legal@granitemind.ai so that we can try to resolve it with you.

Neither Google nor Apple is a party to these Terms, and neither is responsible for the App, its content, or any support or claim to do with it; those are ours to answer. Your use of Google Play is governed by Google's own terms, and your use of the App Store by Apple's.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and post the revised Terms at this URL, and where a change matters to how you use the App we will tell you in the App. If you keep using the App after a change, you accept the revised Terms.
