Terms of Use
- Aurochs is a training log, not a coach or a doctor. Check with a doctor before you start a new program, and stop if anything hurts.
- Estimated maxes, plate loading, warm-ups and scanned readings are estimates. Check the weight on the bar and every scanned value.
- Your workouts stay on your devices. Aurochs has no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
- Aurochs Pro is optional and billed by Apple. You can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
1. About these terms
These Terms of Use apply to the Aurochs Fitness app on iPhone and Apple Watch. They add to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which also applies to the app.
By choosing Agree and Continue, you accept these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
Apple isn't responsible for the app, its content or its support. The developer is.
2. What the app is
Aurochs is a personal log for strength and cardio training: workouts, sets, routines, body measurements, supplements and progress photos, with charts and comparisons made from what you log and from Apple Health.
It isn't a coach, a doctor, a physiotherapist, a dietitian or a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it doesn't watch you train.
3. Training and your health
Lifting and other exercise can cause injury. Check with a doctor before you start a new program, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant, are recovering from an injury or haven't trained in a while.
Warm up, use good form and safe equipment, and use a spotter or safety bars for heavy lifts. Stop and get help if you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath.
You decide what to lift, how often and how hard. Weights, reps and rest times in the app are what you or a routine entered; they may not suit you.
4. Numbers in the app are estimates
Estimated one-rep maxes, plate breakdowns, warm-up sets, suggested weights, volume, effort and records are worked out from the numbers entered. They can be wrong. Always check the weight actually on the bar or machine.
Machine-screen scans and imported files are read automatically and can be misread. Check every value before you save it, and check imported workouts after importing.
Insights show patterns in your own logs and Apple Health data, such as how sleep or the time of day lines up with your lifts. They are not proof of cause and not medical advice.
Data from Apple Health and Apple Watch, such as heart rate, sleep and cardio fitness, comes from Apple and from other apps and devices, and can be incomplete or inaccurate.
5. Your data
Your records are stored on your iPhone and Apple Watch, and in your device backups if you use them. The developer doesn't operate servers for the app and doesn't receive your data. There are no accounts, ads or tracking.
If you contact the developer, your email address and what you choose to include are used only to answer you and fix problems, and aren't shared or used for marketing.
Data can be lost through device failure, deletion, sync delays between your iPhone and Apple Watch, or app errors. Use Export in Settings to keep a copy.
6. Other companies and trademarks
Apple, iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Health are trademarks of Apple Inc. Gym equipment brands and other product names belong to their owners and are used only to identify them. Aurochs isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Exercise steps in the library are adapted from free-exercise-db, which is in the public domain.
7. Aurochs Pro
The free version includes unlimited workout logging, the Apple Watch app, Apple Health, machine-screen scans, importing and exporting, and three routines. Aurochs Pro adds the features listed in the app, such as Insights, all-time charts and unlimited routines, as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, sold through Apple.
A free trial, when offered, turns into a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel before then. Payment, renewals, refunds and cancellation are handled by Apple under its terms. Cancel at least 24 hours before a period ends to avoid the next charge, in your Apple Account settings or in Aurochs under Settings › Aurochs Pro.
Aurochs Pro can be shared with your family through Apple's Family Sharing.
If Pro ends, nothing is deleted: your records stay on your devices and can still be viewed and exported. Features may change over time; prices are shown in the App Store before you buy.
8. No warranty
The app is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, the developer gives no warranties or conditions about it, including that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose.
9. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, the developer isn't liable for losses that come from using or relying on the app. That includes a wrong weight loaded or lifted, a misread scan or import, a missed or late rest alert, an inaccurate estimate or insight, lost data, and indirect or consequential losses.
If the developer is found liable anyway, the total is limited to the greater of what you paid for Aurochs in the 12 months before the claim and 100 Canadian dollars.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for intentional or gross fault, where the law doesn't allow it to be limited.
10. Your rights under consumer law
Some places, including Quebec and Ontario, don't allow certain warranties to be excluded or liability to be limited for consumers. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived. Sections 8 and 9 apply only as far as your local law allows. If your local consumer law gives you more protection, it applies.
There is no arbitration clause and no waiver of class actions. You can bring a claim in the courts where you live if your consumer law allows it.
11. Changes
These terms may be updated. If a change matters, the app will show the new terms and ask you to agree before you continue.
If you don't agree to a change, you can stop using the app. Your records stay on your devices, and Export in Settings saves a copy of everything.
12. Governing law and languages
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, unless the consumer law where you live says otherwise.
Translations of these terms are provided for convenience. The English version governs, except where the law where you live requires the local-language version.
13. Contact
Aurochs Fitness is made by Rayn Rosnuk, operating as Loon Softworks, Ontario, Canada. Questions about these terms, bug reports and feature requests can be sent with Contact the Developer in Settings or by email to support@loonsoftworks.com. Support is in English.
