Terms of Service

Last updated: May 28, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the GIGACHAD mobile app and the website at gigachadapp.com (together, the "Service"), operated by GIGACHAD LLC ("GIGACHAD", "we", "us"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and that the information you provide is accurate. The Service is intended for adults and is not directed to children or minors under 18.

2. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that happen under your account. Notify us at security@gigachadapp.com immediately if you suspect unauthorized use.

3. Health, safety, and assumption of risk

GIGACHAD provides educational and fitness content. Nothing in the Service is medical, nutritional, psychological, or therapeutic advice. The Service is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

3.1 Consult a healthcare provider

Before starting any exercise program featured in the Service, consult a qualified healthcare provider — especially if you are pregnant, have or have had a cardiac condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, a respiratory condition, a musculoskeletal injury, an eating disorder, or any other condition that could be affected by physical activity. If you are recovering from an injury or returning to training after a long break, seek medical clearance before starting.

3.2 Assumption of risk

You acknowledge that physical exercise carries inherent risks, including but not limited to: muscle strain, sprains, fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, cardiac events, loss of consciousness, and in rare cases serious injury or death. You voluntarily assume all such risks when performing any exercise, workout, stretch, lifting technique, program, or other activity described, recommended, or programmed by the Service. You are solely responsible for your own safety and for choosing exercises and loads appropriate to your fitness level and health status.

3.3 Stop if something feels wrong

If you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nausea, lightheadedness, or any other warning sign during a workout, stop immediately and seek medical attention if needed. Do not continue through pain that feels like injury. The Service cannot observe you, cannot assess your form in real time, and cannot respond to emergencies.

3.4 Release and waiver of claims

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and discharge GIGACHAD and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to your participation in any exercise, program, or activity described in the Service, including claims based on ordinary negligence. This release does not apply to claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be waived under applicable law.

3.5 Not medical, nutritional, or psychological advice

Articles about skin care, hair care, sleep, mindset, nutrition, and related topics reflect general information and opinion, not professional advice tailored to your situation. Always consult a qualified professional for issues affecting your health. Nothing in the Service diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any medical condition.

4. Subscriptions and payments

GIGACHAD offers paid subscriptions that unlock additional features (currently a "Pro" tier billed monthly or annually). Subscriptions are billed through Apple (for iOS) and Google (for Android). You may also purchase non-subscription consumable "credits" for specific features like form check reviews and AI body-fat estimates.

4.1 Apple App Store subscriptions

GIGACHAD offers auto-renewing subscriptions through the App Store. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price of the subscription tier you selected. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

4.2 Google Play subscriptions

On Android, subscriptions are billed through Google Play. Payment will be charged to your Google Play account at the confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in the Google Play Store after purchase.

4.3 Free trial

A free trial, when offered, automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

4.4 Refunds

Subscription refund requests are governed by the App Store and Google Play refund policies — refunds for store-billed subscriptions must be requested through Apple or Google, not GIGACHAD. For credits purchased in-app, no refund is offered except where required by applicable law.

4.5 UK consumer rights

UK users have additional cancellation rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA). You may cancel a subscription at any time and continue using it until the end of the current billing period. For annual subscriptions, we will send a reminder before automatic renewal.

4.6 Price changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Your existing billing period is not affected; new prices take effect at the next renewal after the notice period.

5. User content

You may upload progress photos, form check videos, and other content to the Service. You retain ownership of your content. By uploading, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display that content within the Service for the purpose of providing it to you. We do not claim ownership, we do not relicense your content, and we do not use it for marketing without separate explicit consent.

Form-check reviewer pool. When you submit a form-check video for human review, your video and any associated context (the exercise name, your stated experience level, and the AI's structured cues) may be shown to a qualified trainer-reviewer drawn from our reviewer pool. Reviewers are bound by confidentiality obligations in the Trainer Terms, including the requirement not to copy, share, or commercialize the video. You can choose AI-only review (no human reviewer) when submitting, to avoid showing your video to anyone.

6. Product links

The Self Care articles in the Service contain occasional recommendations for products from third-party retailers. Some of those links are affiliate links. If you make a purchase after tapping an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We have no control over the availability, pricing, shipping, warranty, or return policy of any third-party retailer. Disputes about a product or order are between you and the retailer.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of applicable law
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app
• Use automated scripts, bots, or crawlers to access the Service without our written consent
• Upload content that is defamatory, obscene, harassing, or violates someone else's rights
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service

8. Intellectual property

The Service — including the app, the website, the GIGACHAD trademark, all articles, programs, exercise descriptions, photographs, illustrations, code, and UI — is owned by GIGACHAD or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content without written permission.

9. Personal Trainer feature

GIGACHAD includes an optional layer that lets users designate themselves as personal trainers and pair with athletes they already coach in real life. If you use this feature as a trainer, additional terms apply — see the Trainer Terms. Key points to be aware of as a regular user:

• When you pair with a trainer via a trainer code, that trainer becomes able to see your workout history, meal-plan selection, macro targets, and biometric data; push custom workouts and meal plans to you; and exchange messages with you. They cannot see your form-check videos unless they specifically review one.
• Personal trainers on GIGACHAD operate as independent contractors. They are not GIGACHAD employees, and any payment arrangement between you and your trainer is between the two of you. GIGACHAD does not collect, hold, or distribute payments.
• You can end any trainer relationship at any time from the "My Trainer" screen in the app. Past workouts and messages remain in your history.
• We do not actively verify trainer credentials in the Phase 1 release; the verified-status field on trainer profiles reflects self-attestation. Use your judgment when accepting a pairing code from someone whose qualifications you don't know.

10. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party services including Supabase, RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry, Apple App Store, Google Play, and various affiliate networks. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, terms, or practices of third-party services.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or for operational reasons (for example, discontinuing the Service). On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, dispute resolution — will survive.

12. Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GIGACHAD, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GIGACHAD and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that arise from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of a third party's rights.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Nothing in this section limits your right to seek relief from a small-claims court or any right you have under applicable consumer protection laws.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from these Terms and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

17. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay of performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network or infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will post the updated Terms here with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
