TERMS & CONDITIONS

These terms govern your access to and use of the Muscle Monkeys website and training application (the Service). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service provides

Muscle Monkeys helps you create training phases, schedule workouts, record training and recovery information, review progress, and receive automated programming recommendations. Recommendations are generated from the information available to the Service and may not reflect your complete circumstances. You remain responsible for reviewing and adjusting your training.

2. Fitness and health warning

The Service provides general fitness and training information only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physiotherapy, nutrition advice, or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Exercise carries risks, including serious injury. Consider seeking medical clearance before beginning or changing a programme, especially if you have an injury, medical condition, are pregnant, take medication, or have concerns about your health.

Use appropriate technique, equipment, supervision and judgement. Stop exercising and seek appropriate assistance if you experience pain, faintness, chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms. Do not use the Service for emergencies.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old, or have permission from a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf. You must provide accurate information, use an account you are authorised to use, and keep access to your connected Google account secure. You are responsible for activity performed through your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Your information

You retain ownership of information you enter into the Service. You give us a limited permission to host, copy, process, display and use that information as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support and improve the Service. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, or to harm another person;
• attempt to access another account or data without permission;
• interfere with the Service, bypass security controls, introduce malicious code, or overload our systems;
• scrape, reverse engineer, reproduce or commercially exploit the Service except where the law permits it;
• upload content that infringes another person's rights or is unlawful, abusive or misleading; or
• misrepresent automated recommendations as professional medical or health advice.

6. Our content and intellectual property

The Service, branding, software, visual designs, exercise catalogue and other content supplied by us are owned by or licensed to Muscle Monkeys and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the Service for its intended purpose.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Google for authentication and cloud providers for hosting. Their services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for a third-party service outside our reasonable control.

8. Availability and changes

The Service is an evolving product. Features may be added, changed, suspended or removed, and the Service may occasionally be unavailable. We do not promise that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every training goal. We may correct programming logic or recommendations when issues are found.

9. Fees

The Service may initially be offered without charge. If paid features are introduced, their price, billing period, renewal and cancellation terms will be shown before you purchase them. We will not charge you without your express agreement.

10. Suspension, termination and deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time and may contact us to request account deletion. We may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect users or the Service, address unlawful or material misuse, or comply with law. Where practicable, we will give reasonable notice. Some information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained where the law requires it.

11. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee particular fitness, strength, body-composition or health outcomes. To the extent permitted by law, Muscle Monkeys is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, lost profits, or harm resulting from reliance on a recommendation you did not independently assess.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable rights under New Zealand consumer law. Any limitation applies only to the maximum extent the law permits.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by New Zealand law. You and Muscle Monkeys submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised terms and update the effective date. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to give additional notice. Continuing to use the Service after the change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
