Terms
Terms of Use
The most important part: sprint training is intense. Outpacer is a training tool, not medical advice. You train at your own risk: check with a doctor if you have any doubts about your health, warm up well, and stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath.
1. About these terms
These terms apply to the Outpacer app and getoutpacer.com. Outpacer is offered by Marcus van Loef, trading as Outpacer, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 78095956, Van Maerlantpark 47, 2902 BR Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands (“we”, “us”). By using the app you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Outpacer.
2. Health and safety
Sprint interval training asks a lot of your heart, lungs, muscles and joints. By using Outpacer you confirm that:
- you are 16 or older and in good enough health to do intense exercise;
- you will consult a doctor before you start if you have, or have had, heart or lung problems, high blood pressure, dizziness or fainting, diabetes, an injury, are pregnant, take medication that affects your heart rate, or have any other doubt about your health;
- you build up gradually, warm up properly and choose a safe place to train, away from traffic and with a suitable surface;
- you stop immediately and seek medical help if you feel chest pain, pressure, dizziness, severe shortness of breath or anything unusual;
- you stay aware of your surroundings while training and don’t look at your phone while sprinting.
You decide how hard and how often you train, and you are responsible for your own health and safety while doing so.
3. Not medical advice
Outpacer gives general training information based on sprint interval training research. It is not a medical device and does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Heart rate zones, recommendations and all other information in the app are general guidance and are not tailored to your medical situation.
4. Measurements are estimates
Pace, speed, distance, heart rate, recovery, calories and other figures come from GPS, sensors and third-party devices. They are estimates and can be inaccurate, especially for short sprints, near buildings or trees, or when a device loses contact. Don’t rely on them for safety or medical decisions.
5. Location and sharing
Workouts record your route, and a shared story shows the time and place you trained. Think about what you share and with whom: sharing where and when you regularly train can affect your safety and privacy. To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for the risks of what you choose to share.
6. Your data on your iPhone
Outpacer works without an account: your profile, workouts and photos are stored on your iPhone. Keep backups of your iPhone if you want to keep them; if you delete the app or lose your phone without a backup, that data can be lost.
7. Outpacer Pro
- Outpacer is free to use. Outpacer Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, sold through Apple’s App Store.
- The price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription in your iPhone’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions. When you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
- As a consumer in the EU you may have a 14-day right of withdrawal after buying a subscription. Because Pro is digital content that starts right away, this right can end once you start using it, as shown when you buy. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies, at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- If we change the price, Apple informs you in advance and, where required, asks for your consent.
- When Pro ends you keep your workouts and data; only the Pro features stop.
8. Using Outpacer fairly
Don’t misuse Outpacer: don’t try to break, copy, reverse-engineer or overload the app or its servers, don’t get around the Pro features, and don’t use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules.
9. Your content
Your workouts, notes and photos are yours. They are stored on your iPhone, and your account details with our hosting provider, as described in the privacy policy. When you share a story, you choose where it goes and are responsible for what you share.
10. Other devices and services
Outpacer works with devices and services from others, such as Apple Health, AirPods, Apple Watch, Bluetooth heart rate straps, Apple Maps, Google sign-in and weather data. Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for how they work or for their data.
11. Feedback
If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them to improve Outpacer without owing you anything for it.
12. Our content
The app, its design, workouts, texts, voice recordings, logo and the name Outpacer belong to us or our licensors. You may use them only to use the app for yourself, not to copy, sell or publish them.
13. Availability and changes
Outpacer is provided as it is. We work to keep it running well and accurate, but to the extent permitted by law we can’t promise it will always be available, free of errors, or that its results will meet your expectations. We may improve, change or remove features. If we stop offering Pro, we’ll tell you in good time.
14. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for injury, health problems or damage that results from training with Outpacer, from inaccurate measurements, or from the app being unavailable. Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the higher of €50 or the amount you paid for Outpacer Pro in the 12 months before the damage occurred.
If someone else makes a claim against us because of content you shared, or because you broke these terms or the law, you’ll compensate us for the resulting damage, to the extent the law allows this.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and nothing affects your mandatory rights as a consumer.
15. Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Outpacer or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for handling claims relating to Outpacer (such as product liability, legal or regulatory claims, or intellectual property claims). If Outpacer fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App Store is also subject to Apple’s own terms.
16. Ending
You can stop using Outpacer at any time and delete your account. We may end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms.
17. Law and disputes
Dutch law applies. If you live in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of that country. We’d rather solve problems together, so please contact us first. Disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands, unless the law gives you the right to go to a court where you live.
18. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For important changes we’ll let you know in the app in advance. If you keep using Outpacer after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.
19. General
If a part of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies, and the invalid part is replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to what was meant.
