3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use GearBro. In certain jurisdictions, the minimum age may be higher (for example, 16 in some EU member states under GDPR Article 8, or 14 in Quebec, Canada). If you are under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, you may only use GearBro with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

By using GearBro, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a minor, you accept full responsibility for their use of the App.

You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

4. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, TecFly Labs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use GearBro on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service.

This license does not allow you to:

• Distribute, sublicense, lease, or lend the App to third parties
• Copy, decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App
• Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices in the App

This license does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by TecFly Labs.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

GearBro Premium

GearBro Premium is an optional auto-renewable subscription that unlocks additional features. GearBro Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Pricing is determined by the Apple App Store for your region and is displayed at the time of purchase.

Auto-Renewal

Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price displayed at the time of the original purchase (unless the price has changed, in which case you will be notified in advance as required by Apple and applicable law).

Payment and Billing

All payments are processed by Apple through your Apple ID account. TecFly Labs does not collect, store, or process any payment information directly. Payment terms are subject to Apple's applicable terms and policies.

Managing and Canceling Your Subscription

You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID Account Settings on your device. To cancel, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > GearBro Premium. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to Premium features until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. TecFly Labs does not process refunds directly.

6. Free Trial

GearBro Premium may include a free trial period. The duration of the free trial is displayed at the time of subscription and on the App Store product page.

At the end of the free trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the price displayed in the App Store, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free trial ends. Any unused portion of the free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

You may cancel the free trial at any time through your Apple ID Account Settings. No charges will be made if you cancel before the trial expires.

Free trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is typically available only once per Apple ID.

7. Right of Withdrawal (EU/EEA/UK/Brazil)

European Union and European Economic Area

Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), consumers in the EU/EEA have a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts. For digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal may be waived if you have expressly consented to the performance beginning before the withdrawal period expires and have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. The Apple App Store purchase process includes these acknowledgments.

If you have not waived your right of withdrawal, you may exercise it within 14 days from the date of purchase by contacting Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or by contacting us at contact@gearbro.app.

United Kingdom

Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, UK consumers have a 14-day cancellation right for distance contracts. The same digital content exception as described above applies.

Brazil

Under the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (CDC, Art. 49), consumers have a 7-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase for contracts concluded outside traditional commercial establishments, including digital purchases.

How to Exercise Your Right

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you may contact Apple through your App Store account or contact us directly at contact@gearbro.app. No specific form is required. A clear statement of your decision to withdraw is sufficient.

8. HealthKit Data Usage

GearBro accesses Apple HealthKit data in read-only mode to automatically import workout data (type, duration, distance, calories, heart rate) and match workouts with your gear. GearBro does not write any data to HealthKit.

HealthKit data is:

• Never shared with third parties
• Never used for advertising or marketing
• Never used for data mining
• Never stored on any remote server or cloud service
• Never sold or transferred to any entity

This complies with Apple's HealthKit guidelines (App Store Review Guidelines 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3). For full details on data handling, see our Privacy Policy, Section 1.

9. Gear Condition Estimates

GearBro's condition tracking is designed as an informational convenience to help you keep track of equipment usage over time. It does not account for storage conditions, material degradation, manufacturing defects, environmental exposure, impact damage, or other factors that affect equipment safety and performance.

TecFly Labs assumes no liability for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from reliance on gear condition estimates provided by GearBro. You assume all responsibility for the safe use, proper maintenance, and timely replacement of your equipment.

10. Physical Activity and Assumption of Risk

Sports and physical activities involve inherent risks of injury, including risks related to equipment condition, weather, terrain, physical fitness, and other factors. By using GearBro, you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks.

GearBro is a gear tracking tool. It does not provide fitness advice, training plans, safety assessments, or recommendations regarding your physical activity. You are solely responsible for:

• Assessing your own physical fitness and ability to engage in activities
• Inspecting and maintaining your equipment in safe condition
• Following manufacturer guidelines for all equipment
• Consulting a qualified healthcare professional before beginning or modifying exercise programs
• Making all decisions regarding your safety during physical activities

Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law.

11. Local Data Storage

All user-created data in GearBro (gear profiles, workout assignments, goals, journal entries, preferences, and usage statistics) is stored exclusively on your device. GearBro does not offer cloud synchronization, server-side backup, or cross-device transfer.

This means:

• If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your GearBro data may be permanently lost
• If you uninstall GearBro, all locally stored data is permanently deleted
• TecFly Labs cannot recover your data because we do not have access to it

We strongly recommend using the JSON export feature (Settings > Export Data) to regularly back up your data. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your data.

For full details on what data is stored locally, see our Privacy Policy, Section 2.

12. Intellectual Property

GearBro, including its code, design, graphics, user interface, icons, content, and all related intellectual property, is owned by TecFly Labs and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

"GearBro" and the GearBro logo are trademarks of TecFly Labs. You may not use these trademarks without prior written permission.

Your content: Any content you create within GearBro (gear names, journal entries, notes, photos) remains your property. By using GearBro, you do not grant TecFly Labs any rights to your user-generated content. Your content is stored locally on your device and is not accessible to us.

TecFly Labs is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any intellectual property infringement claims relating to GearBro.

13. User Conduct

When using GearBro, you agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App
• Attempt to circumvent any security features or access restrictions
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the App
• Use the App to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
• Distribute, sublicense, or make the App available to third parties in violation of these Terms

Violation of these rules may result in termination of your license to use GearBro as described in Section 20.

14. Third-Party Services

GearBro integrates with the following third-party services. Each is governed by its own terms of service. By using GearBro, you agree to comply with applicable third-party terms when interacting with these services.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GearBro is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, TecFly Labs does not warrant that:

• GearBro will meet your specific requirements
• GearBro will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• The results obtained from using GearBro (including gear condition estimates) will be accurate or reliable
• Any errors in GearBro will be corrected

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TecFly Labs shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, personal injury, property damage, or any other losses arising from or related to:

• Your use of or inability to use GearBro
• Reliance on gear condition estimates or any other information provided by the App
• Equipment failure or injury during physical activity
• Loss of data due to device loss, damage, or app deletion
• Unauthorized access to your device or locally stored data
• Any third-party services integrated with GearBro

To the extent permitted by applicable law, TecFly Labs' total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to GearBro shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to TecFly Labs (through Apple) for GearBro in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty euros (EUR 50).

The following liabilities cannot and are not limited or excluded under these Terms:

• Liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence
• Liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• Liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence
• Any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under mandatory consumer protection laws, including under Austrian law (KSchG), EU law, UK law, Australian Consumer Law, or any other applicable jurisdiction

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply, and you may have additional rights.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TecFly Labs, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Your misuse of GearBro
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Your infringement of any third-party rights

This indemnification obligation does not apply where it would be prohibited or limited by mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, including under Austrian consumer protection law (KSchG) and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC).

18. EU/EEA, UK and Australian Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, UK, or Australia, you have statutory rights that cannot be excluded or limited by contract. Nothing in these Terms is intended to affect those rights.

EU Digital Content Directive (2019/770)

As a provider of digital content, TecFly Labs is required to ensure that GearBro conforms to the contract, including being of the quality and performance that are normal for digital content of the same type. For ongoing supply (subscriptions), conformity must be maintained throughout the subscription period.

• Update obligation: TecFly Labs will provide updates, including security updates, necessary to keep GearBro in conformity
• Remedy for non-conformity: If GearBro does not conform, you have the right to have it brought into conformity free of charge. If this is not possible or disproportionate, you may be entitled to a price reduction or termination of the contract

UK Consumer Rights Act 2015

UK consumers have statutory rights regarding digital content, including that it must be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose, and as described. These rights are not affected by these Terms.

Australian Consumer Law (ACL)

Australian consumers have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Unfair contract terms in standard form consumer contracts are void. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify rights that cannot be excluded under the ACL.

Other Jurisdictions

Consumers in other jurisdictions may have additional mandatory rights under local law. These Terms do not limit or exclude any rights that cannot be waived under the mandatory consumer protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

19. Apple-Specific Terms

The following terms apply to your use of GearBro as downloaded from the Apple App Store, in accordance with Apple's requirements for licensed applications.

20. Termination

Termination by You

You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting GearBro from your device and discontinuing use. Canceling your Premium subscription does not require deleting the App — you may continue to use the free tier.

Termination by TecFly Labs

TecFly Labs may terminate or suspend your access to GearBro if you materially breach these Terms. Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice before termination and give you an opportunity to cure the breach.

Effects of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use GearBro ceases immediately. The following sections survive termination: Intellectual Property (Section 12), Disclaimer of Warranties (Section 15), Limitation of Liability (Section 16), Indemnification (Section 17), Governing Law (Section 22), Dispute Resolution (Section 23), and General Provisions (Section 24).

Since all data is stored locally on your device, we recommend exporting your data before deleting the App. TecFly Labs has no ability to access, retrieve, or restore your data after termination.

21. Changes to These Terms

TecFly Labs may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, new features, or changes in our practices.

Notice of Material Changes

For material changes (changes that significantly affect your rights or obligations), we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice before the changes take effect. Notice will be provided through one or more of the following methods:

• A notification within the App
• An update to this page with a revised "Last updated" date
• Via the email address associated with your Apple ID (where available)

Your Right to Terminate

If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you have the right to stop using GearBro and delete the App before the changes take effect. Your continued use of GearBro after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

Non-material changes (such as typographical corrections or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Terms) may be made without advance notice.

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Austria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.

Subject to the consumer jurisdiction carve-outs below, any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Vienna, Austria.

Consumer Jurisdiction Rights

If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where mandatory consumer protection laws provide this right. In particular:

• EU/EEA consumers: May bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence under the Brussels I Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012. Mandatory provisions of local consumer protection law apply in addition to Austrian law (Rome I Regulation, Art. 6(2))
• Austrian consumers: May bring proceedings at their place of domicile in Austria (KSchG Section 14)
• UK consumers: May bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the UK where they reside
• Australian consumers: May bring proceedings in their local courts under the Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in this section restricts any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.

23. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at contact@gearbro.app to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make reasonable efforts to address your concern within 30 days.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

If informal resolution is unsuccessful, you may also seek resolution through the following national ADR bodies:

• Austria: Internet Ombudsmann (ombudsstelle.at), Verbraucherschlichtung Austria (verbraucherschlichtung.at)
• Germany: Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes (universalschlichtungsstelle.de)
• EU/EEA: Contact your national consumer dispute resolution body

TecFly Labs is willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a recognized consumer arbitration board where required by law.

No Mandatory Arbitration

These Terms do not require mandatory binding arbitration. In compliance with Austrian law (ZPO Section 617) and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive, arbitration clauses in consumer contracts that have not been individually negotiated are not enforceable. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

24. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TecFly Labs regarding GearBro. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter of these Terms.

Assignment

TecFly Labs may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate or successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all assets, provided the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without TecFly Labs' prior written consent.

Waiver

The failure of TecFly Labs to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or the right to enforce it at a later time.

Force Majeure

TecFly Labs shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes), epidemics or pandemics, war or armed conflict, terrorism, government sanctions or embargoes, disruptions to internet infrastructure or Apple's services, and changes in applicable law or regulation.

Headings

Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Notices

Notices to TecFly Labs should be sent to contact@gearbro.app. Notices to you may be provided within the App, on this Website, or via the email address associated with your Apple ID account.
