Terms & Conditions

Last updated 2026-08-16

These terms and conditions apply to the Lifting Lab app for iOS, operated by Better Built Apps LLC (collectively, the "Application"). Better Built Apps LLC is referred to below as "we," "us," or the "Service Provider."

By downloading or using the Application, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully.

License to use the Application

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on a device you own or control, for your own personal use. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction.

Intellectual property

The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights in the Application, including its code, design, trademarks, and branding. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Service Provider's trademarks or branding for any purpose. Do not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright or trademark notice shown in or on the Application.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher, to use the Application yourself. If you are below that age, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

Lifting Lab's coaching features let an adult coach enter and manage training information about the athletes they work with, which can include minors, since youth athletes are common in competitive weightlifting. A coach using these features represents that they have whatever authority or consent is needed to enter and store that athlete's information on their own device, and remains responsible for it.

Not medical advice: read this before you lift

Lifting Lab is a training log and coaching tool. It is not a medical device, and nothing in the app, including readiness suggestions, warm-up guidance, percentage and RPE-based weight prescriptions, and technique feedback, is medical advice or a substitute for it.

Talk to a physician before beginning any exercise program, particularly if you have any pre-existing health condition, injury, or concern. Weightlifting carries an inherent risk of injury. By using the Application, you acknowledge that risk and assume full responsibility for your own safety, technique, and the loads you choose to lift, regardless of any suggestion, prescription, or feedback the Application provides.

The Application's technique feedback, including anything derived from camera-based video analysis, is generated automatically and is provided for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for in-person coaching, may be wrong, incomplete, or unavailable for a given clip, and must not be relied on to prevent injury.

Subscriptions

Lifting Lab is free to use for its core features: the daily dashboard, guided and manually built workouts, the Beginner Foundation program, the personal record tracker, the exercise library, the calculators, sharing, and a limited number of bar-path video analyses, all without an account.

Two optional, auto-renewing subscriptions extend it:

• Pro, for unlimited bar-path video analysis and the rest of the training programs.
• Coach, for coaches managing a roster of athletes.

Where offered, subscriptions are billed through your Apple App Store account at the price shown in the app or on our website at the time of purchase. A subscription automatically renews for the same length of term unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can view, manage, or cancel a subscription at any time in your device's Settings, under your Apple ID, then Subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store's own refund policies, not by us directly.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Application unlawfully, to reverse engineer or attempt to extract its source code beyond what applicable law permits, or to interfere with its normal operation.

Lifting Lab does not host content on behalf of users or make it available to other users or the public: there is no feed, no profile visible to anyone else, and no comments. When you export a program or session file to share with a coach or athlete, that transfer happens directly between your device and theirs, through a share sheet you choose (AirDrop, Mail, Messages, or Files); it is not hosted, transmitted, or moderated by us.

Connectivity

Lifting Lab's core training features, logging a workout, building a session, browsing your history, and the calculators, work fully offline. An internet connection is needed for iCloud sync between your own devices and, if you use them, features that verify a subscription. You're responsible for your own device's connectivity and any data charges from your carrier.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, even if advised such damages were possible.

This limitation does not apply to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Application in the 12 months before the claim, or the minimum amount required by applicable law, whichever is greater. Since most use of the Application is free, this generally means our liability is limited to the minimum amount the law requires.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, its affiliates, officers, and employees from claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your breach of these Terms or your intentional misuse of the Application. This does not apply to claims arising from our own negligence or breach of these Terms, and is limited to the extent consumer protection law restricts indemnification clauses like this one.

The Application uses on-device computer vision (Apple's Vision framework) to analyze video you record for bar-path feedback. This runs entirely on your device; see the Privacy Policy for details. It is not a hosted or cloud-based AI service, and no video or analysis data is transmitted to us in the course of that processing.

Updates and availability

We may update the Application periodically; you should install updates when offered, since we may stop supporting older versions. We may also, at our discretion, cease providing the Application in the future. Nothing in this section limits any right you have under mandatory consumer protection law.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Application if you materially breach these Terms. Where the breach can be cured, we'll give you notice and 14 days to fix it before termination. We may suspend or terminate access immediately, without notice, if you violate applicable law, infringe intellectual property rights, or act in a way that could harm other users or the Service Provider.

Upon termination, your license to use the Application ends and you must delete it from your devices.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service Provider is established, excluding conflict of law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection law provides otherwise. Any dispute will be brought before the courts with jurisdiction under applicable law; nothing here limits any right you have to bring a claim in a court competent under mandatory law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider about your use of the Application, superseding any earlier understanding.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time; the current version is always posted here. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date below.

These terms and conditions are effective as of 2026-08-16.
