Terms of Use
These terms apply to the BlockLift app and blocklift.app, provided by BlockLift Ltd, a company registered in Northern Ireland. By creating an account or using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use BlockLift.
Who can use BlockLift
You must be 18 or over. You must be fit to take part in resistance training. If you have a medical condition, an injury, are pregnant, or have any doubt about whether lifting is right for you, talk to a doctor before you start and follow what they tell you over anything BlockLift says. When you first use the app we ask you to confirm these things, and we record that confirmation.
Coach is an AI, not a clinician
BlockLift builds and adapts training programmes. Coach is an artificial-intelligence system that writes plans, feedback and chat replies from the information you give it. It is not a doctor, a physiotherapist or a qualified personal trainer, and it can be wrong. Nothing in the app is a diagnosis, a treatment or medical advice. BlockLift is not a medical device and does not monitor, diagnose or treat any condition.
Training carries risk, and you accept it
Resistance training carries a real risk of injury, including serious injury, however well it is programmed. You decide what your body can do on any given day. By using BlockLift you accept that risk and agree that:
- you will stop immediately and seek medical advice if you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness, or anything that feels wrong;
- you will tell BlockLift accurately about injuries, limitations and movements to avoid, and keep that information up to date, because Coach plans around what you declare and cannot see what you don't;
- where you choose to train around an injury, that is your decision, and BlockLift will adapt to it rather than assess it;
- you are responsible for using equipment and facilities safely, for your technique, and for choosing loads you can control;
- you will not rely on BlockLift in place of advice from a healthcare professional who has examined you.
The beta
During the beta the service is provided free of charge and as-is. Features may change or be removed, data may be reset, and access may be limited or withdrawn while we work on the product. We will tell you before anything that would lose your training history, and we will tell beta members about pricing before it applies to them.
Your account
Keep your sign-in details to yourself and tell us if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what happens under it.
Acceptable use
Don't attempt to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service, scrape it, or use it to build a competing product. Don't upload anything unlawful or that infringes someone else's rights.
Your content and our content
Your training data is yours. You give us the licence we need to store and process it to run the service. The app, its design, its programmes and its coaching output are ours; you may use them for your own training and not otherwise.
Health platforms
Reading from or writing to Apple Health or Health Connect happens only if you enable it and is governed by your device's permissions as well as these terms.
Ending things
You can delete your account in the app at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we may end the beta with notice.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
Subject to that, and to the extent the law allows: we are not liable for any loss or injury that results from you ignoring pain or other warning signs, training against medical advice, giving us inaccurate or incomplete information about your health, injuries or limitations, using equipment unsafely, or choosing to train around an injury; we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss; and our total liability to you in connection with the service is limited to £100 during the beta, or afterwards to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Your local rights
If you are a consumer, you have rights under the law of the country you live in that these terms cannot take away. Nothing here limits those rights. Where a clause of these terms conflicts with a mandatory consumer law that applies to you, that law wins for you and the rest of these terms stays in force.
Disputes
If you have a problem, email us first at hello@blocklift.app and we will try to sort it out within 30 days.
If you live in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area: these terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and you may bring a claim in the courts of Northern Ireland or in the courts of the country where you live. Nothing stops you relying on the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live.
If you live anywhere else: these terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland. Any dispute we can't resolve informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration, not in court, and not as part of a class or representative action. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator, with hearings held remotely unless both sides agree otherwise. If you live in the United States it will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules; otherwise by the London Court of International Arbitration. We will pay any filing and arbitrator fees above what it would have cost you to file in your local court. You may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court where you live if it qualifies. You can opt out of arbitration by emailing hello@blocklift.app with the subject "Arbitration opt-out" within 30 days of first accepting these terms; opting out does not affect anything else in them. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must be brought in the courts of Northern Ireland instead.
Changes to these terms
When we change these terms we will show you the new version in the app and ask you to accept it before you continue. The date at the top is the version you have accepted.
