Terms of Use

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Ranknoodle LLC (“Ranknoodle,” “BJJBuddy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the BJJBuddy mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App”).

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or guardian’s permission.

Description of the App

BJJBuddy helps Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners log training sessions, track techniques and progress, and — for subscribers — view AI-generated insights about their training patterns. Features include manual and voice-based session logging, an optional social/activity feed, and optional integration with Apple Health.

Accounts

You’re responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at bjjbuddy.com/contact if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

Subscriptions

Certain features (“BJJBuddy Pro”) are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions, currently available as:

Billing and renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same duration and price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Free trial. If a free trial is offered, you’ll be charged the subscription price automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before it does. Unused portions of a free trial period, if any, are forfeited when you purchase a subscription during the trial.

Managing and canceling. You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device), or from BJJBuddy’s Account screen. Canceling turns off auto-renewal but does not refund the current period — you keep Pro access through the end of the period you already paid for.

Refunds. All billing is handled by Apple. Refund requests are subject to Apple’s policies, not ours — see Apple’s support page for how to request one.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices. If we do, we’ll notify you in advance as required by Apple’s guidelines, and the new price will apply starting with your next renewal unless you cancel first.

Your Content

You retain ownership of the training logs, notes, photos, videos, and other content you create in the App (“User Content”). By posting User Content to any shared or social feature of the App — such as an activity feed, comments, or a shared profile — you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display that content solely to operate the App’s features as you’ve used them.

You’re solely responsible for your User Content. Don’t post anything that’s illegal, infringes someone else’s rights, or that you don’t have the rights to share.

AI-Assisted Features

Some features — voice-to-text session logging, technique detection, cardio detection, and training insights — use on-device and/or third-party AI processing to interpret what you say or log. These features are a convenience, not a guarantee of accuracy — always review what’s captured before saving, and don’t rely on AI-generated insights as professional coaching, medical, or fitness advice.

Health & Fitness Disclaimer

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling sports carry an inherent risk of injury. BJJBuddy is a training log and analytics tool — it is not a substitute for professional coaching, medical advice, or your own judgment about your physical readiness to train.

• Consult a physician before beginning or continuing any exercise or training program, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
• Any calorie, cardio, or fitness-related figures shown in the App are estimates only and should not be treated as medical-grade data.
• If you connect Apple Health, you’re responsible for reviewing what data syncs and for its accuracy.
• We are not liable for any injury, health complication, or loss arising from your training activities, whether or not related to your use of the App.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Harass, abuse, or harm another user through the App’s social features;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its backend systems;
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the App;
• Upload viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

We may suspend or terminate your access for violating this section.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services to operate. Your use of the App means you also agree to their applicable terms:

• Apple App Store / StoreKit — app distribution and subscription billing
• RevenueCat — subscription management
• Firebase (Google) — analytics and backend infrastructure
• Google AdMob — advertising, if applicable to your build
• On-device / cloud AI processing — for voice transcription and training insights

We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties beyond what’s disclosed in our Privacy Policy.

Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, graphics, logos, and underlying code, is owned by Ranknoodle LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms don’t grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or brand assets.

Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time from the Account screen. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, or discontinue the App (or any feature) at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Limitation of Liability

Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Ranknoodle LLC harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of insert state/country of incorporation, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you through the App or by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Apple-Specific Terms

This section applies only if you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and Ranknoodle LLC only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third-party claim that the App or your possession/use of it infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights.
