Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Bastion Fitness ("Bastion", "we", "us", or "our") provides a digital platform for workout programming, gym management, and performance tracking (the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, gym, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms.

2. Distinct Roles and Responsibilities

It is crucial to understand the distinction between the technology provided by Bastion and the fitness services provided by your gym or coach.

• Bastion Fitness (The Technology Provider): We provide the software tools (the "Platform") that allow gyms to program workouts and athletes to track results. We are not a gym, a healthcare provider, or a fitness coach. We do not create the workouts assigned to you, nor do we supervise your execution of them.
• The Gym/Coach (The Fitness Provider): The gym, box, or coach you are associated with on the Platform is solely responsible for the programming, instruction, and safety of the workouts they assign.
• The Athlete (The User): You are responsible for listening to your body, consulting with medical professionals, and exercising within your limits.

3. Data Ownership and Portability

We believe your fitness journey belongs to you.

3.1. Athlete Data Ownership

As an Athlete, you retain full ownership of your "User Data," which includes:

• Your workout history and logs.
• Your Personal Records (PRs) and benchmark stats.
• Your profile information and journal entries.

You grant Bastion and your associated Gym a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and display your User Data solely as necessary to provide the Service (e.g., calculating your percentages, displaying leaderboards, generating reports for your coach).

3.2. Data Portability

You have the right to export your User Data at any time. Bastion provides tools to download your workout history in a standard, machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) so you can take your history with you, even if you leave your current gym or if you leave the Bastion platform entirely.

3.3. Gym Data

Gyms own their proprietary "Programming Data," including:

• Workout tracks and plans created by the Gym.
• Custom exercise libraries defined by the Gym.
• Business analytics and member attendance records.

Athletes do not have an ownership claim over the Gym's proprietary programming logic, only their own results performed against that programming.

4. Medical Disclaimer and Liability Waiver

4.1. Not Medical Advice

The Service and any content generated by it (including percentage calculations, recommended weights, or performance analytics) are for informational purposes only. Bastion is not a medical organization. Nothing contained in the Service should be construed as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

4.2. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that participation in high-intensity fitness programs (e.g., CrossFit®, functional fitness, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting) involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: rhabdomyolysis, heart attacks, muscle strains, pulls or tears, broken bones, shin splints, heat prostration, knee/lower back/foot injuries, and other illnesses, soreness, or injury, up to and including death.

By using the Service, you voluntarily assume all such risks.

4.3. Release of Liability for Programming

You explicitly understand and agree that Bastion Fitness is merely the delivery mechanism for workout programming. We are not liable for:

• The content, intensity, or safety of any specific workout programmed by your gym (e.g., a "Fran" workout, a 1-Rep Max attempt, or high-volume lifting).
• Any injury resulting from the execution of instructions received through the Platform.
• The failure of your coach or gym to properly scale or modify workouts to your ability level.

If you are injured while performing a workout logged or viewed on Bastion, your recourse (if any) is against the entity that prescribed or supervised the workout (your Gym or Coach), not against Bastion Fitness.

5. Privacy and Security

Your privacy is paramount. Our collection and use of your personal information, including health-related data, is governed by our Privacy Policy.

• No Sale of Data: We will never sell your personal health data, workout logs, or identity to third parties, advertisers, or insurance companies.
• Security: We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for data in transit and at rest. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Misuse the Service to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any aspect of the Service.
• Scrape or mass-export data from the Service that does not belong to you.
• Share your account credentials with others.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time. Upon termination, you will have a grace period of 30 days to export your User Data before it may be permanently deleted from our live systems.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of [Your State], without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between you and Bastion that arises in whole or in part from the Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in [Your County, Your State].

9. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes (e.g., via email or a prominent banner in the app). Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
