1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account or using Pelaris, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Pelaris. We’ve tried to make them readable and fair — if anything is unclear, contact us at hello@pelaris.io.

2. Description of Service

What Pelaris Is

Pelaris is an AI-powered adaptive fitness coaching platform that:

Generates personalised, periodized training programs using artificial intelligence
Provides an AI Coach that responds to your questions and adapts your training
Tracks your workouts, progress, and body measurements
Offers AI-powered body composition analysis from photos

What Pelaris Is Not

Pelaris is not a medical service, healthcare provider, personal trainer, or clinical body composition tool. Specifically:

AI-generated training programs are not medical prescriptions or certified personal training
Body composition analysis provides estimates, not clinical measurements
AI Coach responses are not professional medical, physiotherapy, or dietary advice
The service does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

Age Requirement

You must be at least 16 years old to use Pelaris. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly provide services to anyone under 16.

Account Responsibility

You may only create one account per person.
You must provide accurate and complete information during registration.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. AI-Generated Content and Safety

This is the most important section of these terms. Please read it carefully.

4.1 Nature of AI Content

All training programs, coaching responses, body composition estimates, and exercise recommendations in Pelaris are generated by artificial intelligence (Google Gemini via Vertex AI). This means:

(a) Content is generated automatically based on the information you provide — no human reviews it before it reaches you.

(b) The AI may produce recommendations that are suboptimal, inaccurate, or inappropriate for your specific circumstances.

(c) The AI cannot fully account for medical conditions, injuries, medications, or individual physical limitations that you have not disclosed — or that fall outside its capability to assess.

(d) Body composition estimates from photo analysis are approximations based on AI visual analysis. They are not clinical measurements and should not be used for medical purposes.

4.2 Your Responsibility for Safety

By using Pelaris, you acknowledge and agree that:

(a) You are solely responsible for your health and fitness decisions. AI recommendations are a starting point, not instructions you must follow blindly.

(b) You should consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program, particularly if you have pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or health concerns.

(d) You should use your own judgment when evaluating AI recommendations. If a recommendation seems inappropriate, modify or skip it.

(e) You are responsible for providing accurate information about your health, injuries, fitness level, and limitations. The quality of AI recommendations depends on the accuracy of your inputs.

4.3 AI Limitations

The AI may occasionally:

Recommend exercises that are too advanced or too easy for your fitness level
Suggest training volumes or intensities that are not optimal
Generate programs that don’t perfectly match your available equipment
Provide body composition estimates that differ from clinical measurements
Give coaching advice that is generic rather than specifically tailored

We continuously work to improve AI quality, but we cannot guarantee perfection. You can modify or reject any AI recommendation at any time.

5. Data and AI Processing

Your data powers the AI features in Pelaris. This section summarises how; for full details, see our Privacy Policy.

How Your Data Is Used by AI

Your fitness profile, training history, body measurements, and feedback are processed by AI (Google Gemini via Vertex AI) to generate personalised training programs, coaching responses, and body composition estimates.
Before your data reaches any AI model, we strip personal identifiers (name, email) through our privacy scrubber. The AI processes your fitness data without knowing who you are.
Body analysis photos are processed in temporary server memory and immediately discarded — they are never stored, never seen by a human, and never used for AI model training.

What AI Never Does With Your Data

Never trains on your data. Your data is never used to train or improve any AI model — ours or Google’s. This is guaranteed by Google Cloud Platform enterprise terms.
Never shares your data. Your fitness data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or disclosed to third parties for marketing.
Never makes irreversible decisions. You can modify or reject any AI recommendation at any time.

For full details on data collection, storage, AI processing, your rights, and how to delete your data, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Pelaris only for its intended purpose — personal fitness coaching and training management. You must not:

(a) Share your account credentials with others or allow others to use your account.

(b) Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the service.

(d) Use the service to develop a competing product or service.

(e) Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit AI-generated content (e.g., selling AI-generated programs as your own coaching work).

(f) Upload photos of anyone other than yourself for body analysis.

(g) Attempt to manipulate the AI into producing harmful, dangerous, or inappropriate content.

(h) Use the service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

7. Your Data

Ownership

You own your personal data — your profile information, workout logs, body measurements, and any other data you provide. We do not claim ownership of your data.

Privacy

How we collect, use, store, and protect your data is described in our Privacy Policy. By using Pelaris, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.

Data Portability

License to Use

Training programs, coaching responses, and other content generated by the AI for you are licensed to you for personal use. You may follow the programs for your own training and share individual workouts informally (e.g., with a training partner). You may not resell or commercially distribute AI-generated programs or represent them as professional coaching work.

9. Service Availability

No Uptime Guarantee

Pelaris is provided on a “best-effort” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

Maintenance and updates
Technical issues or bugs
Third-party service outages (e.g., Google Cloud, Firebase)

Feedback and Improvement

Bug reports: If something breaks or feels wrong, please tell us. We fix issues quickly and you’re helping every future user.
Feature suggestions: We read every suggestion. Many features in Pelaris exist because early users asked for them.
No obligation: Providing feedback is entirely voluntary and does not create any obligation on our part to implement suggestions.
Anonymised use: We may use anonymised, aggregated feedback to improve the service. We will never publicly attribute feedback to you without your permission.
