Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and RH LLC, doing business as Chalk & Chain (“we” or “us”) for using the Chalk & Chain website, web app, and mobile apps (together, “Chalk & Chain”). By using Chalk & Chain, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use it.
1. What Chalk & Chain is
Chalk & Chain is strength-training software. It suggests weekly plans, guides you through sessions, and keeps a log of your training. You can use it without an account, and your plans and log stay on your device. You can also create an optional account to sync your log across devices.
2. Not medical or professional advice
Chalk & Chain is a general fitness tool, not a doctor, physical therapist, or certified personal trainer. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for in-person coaching. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or changing an exercise program, especially if you have an injury or a medical condition. You use the app and follow its plans at your own risk.
Chalk & Chain is software. It is not a licensed or certified personal trainer, doctor, physical therapist, or other health professional, and no such person is reviewing your plans or sessions. Phrases like “A trainer in your pocket” and “coaches the session” are shorthand for what the software does. They don't mean a trainer or health professional is advising you. Coaching cues in the app are general guidance, not instructions tailored to your body or health.
Stop exercising and get medical help if you feel pain, dizziness, faintness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. Telling the app about an injury or limitation only changes which exercises it suggests. It is not a medical assessment.
3. Your responsibility and assumption of risk
Strength training and exercise carry real risk of injury, including serious injury. You decide whether to do any exercise, how much weight to use, and whether your space and equipment are safe. You're responsible for using proper form, warming up, using spotters or safety equipment when appropriate, and staying within your abilities. To the fullest extent the law allows, you voluntarily accept the risks of any exercise you choose to do while using Chalk & Chain.
4. Who can use it
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and to use Chalk & Chain. By using it, you confirm that you are.
5. Your account
- Give a real email address you control, and keep your password private.
- You're responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else used it.
- One person per account. Don't create accounts for others or in bulk.
- You can close your account at any time from the Account screen in the app. See the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data.
6. Acceptable use
Don't:
- break the law or anyone's rights while using Chalk & Chain;
- try to get into other people's accounts or data, or test, probe, or get around our security;
- use bots or scripts to create accounts, sign in, or send requests, or overload the service;
- copy, resell, or reverse-engineer the service, except where the law allows it; or
- upload anything harmful, such as malware.
We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules or put the service or other people at risk.
7. Your content
Your workout log and notes belong to you. You give us permission to store, copy, and process them only as needed to run Chalk & Chain for you, such as syncing them to your devices.
8. Our content and trademark
The Chalk & Chain software, design, text, exercise library, and graphics belong to RH LLC or its licensors. You may use them only to use Chalk & Chain for your own training. Chalk & Chain™ and the Chalk & Chain logo are trademarks of RH LLC. You may not use them without our written permission.
9. The service may change
We may add, change, or remove features, or stop offering Chalk & Chain. If you have an account, we'll try to give reasonable notice before we shut down the service so you can keep the log on your device.
10. No warranties
Chalk & Chain is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the service will be accurate, uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for your goals, and that synced data will never be lost. Keep the log on your device as your own copy.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, RH LLC and its owners, employees, and contractors won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of Chalk & Chain, and our total liability for any claim relating to Chalk & Chain is limited to US $50. Some places don't allow these limits, including for personal injury caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
12. Indemnity
If you misuse Chalk & Chain or break these terms and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.
13. Governing law and disputes
RH LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally. If you live in California or another place whose consumer-protection laws give you rights that can't be waived by agreement, nothing in these terms takes those rights away, and you may bring a claim where those laws allow.
14. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. For a significant change, we'll also show a notice in the app or email account holders before it takes effect. If you keep using Chalk & Chain after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.
15. General
If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a part right away isn't a waiver. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Chalk & Chain.
