Terms of Service

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of CouchToTri, including our website, app, and Coach Finn (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Who can use CouchToTri

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 and over. By using it you confirm you are at least 18 and able to enter into these terms.

What CouchToTri is, and is not

CouchToTri provides general fitness education and AI-assisted training guidance for beginner triathletes. Coach Finn proposes sessions and answers questions; a deterministic engine validates training load for safety.

CouchToTri is not a medical provider, and Coach Finn is not a doctor, physical therapist, dietitian, or licensed coach. The Service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional care or in-person coaching.

Health, safety, and assumption of risk

Endurance training involves swimming, cycling, and running, and like all vigorous exercise it carries real risks, including injury, illness, and, in the water, drowning. You take part voluntarily and you assume these risks.

Before starting this or any exercise program, consult a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant or recently postpartum, are recovering from injury or surgery, have been inactive, or are unsure. Complete the in-app health screening honestly.

Stop exercising and seek medical care if you experience chest pain, dizziness, fainting, severe shortness of breath, or any symptom that worries you. Do not train through sharp or joint pain. Never swim in open water alone; always swim supervised, with a buddy, following your venue's safety rules.

You are responsible for your own training decisions and your own safety. We make no guarantee of any particular result, fitness outcome, race finish, or that the Service is suitable for you.

Your account and conduct

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for honest health screening, and for keeping your login credentials secure. Do not misuse the Service, attempt to break its safety controls, interfere with its operation, or use it unlawfully.

Your content

You keep ownership of the content you create, such as journal entries and messages. You grant us a limited license to use that content as needed to operate and improve the Service for you (for example, to generate coaching and adapt your plan).

Price and changes to the Service

Building your starter plan and training toward your first race is currently free. We may add premium features in the future and will make any pricing clear before you are charged. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time.

Intellectual property

The Service, including our guides, the ebook, Coach Finn's content, and our branding, is owned by CouchToTri and protected by law. You may use it for your personal, non-commercial training only.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CouchToTri and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the Service or your training. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold CouchToTri harmless from claims arising out of your use of the Service, your training decisions, or your breach of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.

Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms or to protect the Service or its users.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable where CouchToTri is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes consumer rights that cannot be waived under your local law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will revise the date below and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to let you know. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
