These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a contract between you and River Lentil LLC, a California limited liability company ("we", "us", "our"), covering your use of the Aldo app and website at aldo-coach.app (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Health & Safety Notice and Waiver, which is part of this agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Two documents go with these Terms and you should read both:
Aldo is an AI training coach. It helps you plan, adjust, and log workouts and training programs, schedule your training around your life, and track injuries and pain as you train.
The coaching is generated by large language models from Anthropic, called through our backend. That means the Service's output is machine-generated. It can be wrong, incomplete, out of date, or a bad fit for your body and situation, even when it sounds confident and specific.
We may change, add, or remove features at any time. The Service is under active development and things will break.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. The Service is not for minors, and we do not knowingly allow accounts for anyone under 18.
You need an account to use the Service. You agree to give an accurate email address, keep your password secure, and not share your account. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at support@aldo-coach.app if you think someone else has access to it.
Each time you use the Service, you represent to us that:
That last one matters more here than in most apps. Aldo coaches on what you tell it. If you understate an injury, hide pain, log a pain score that isn't honest, or leave a condition out of your profile, the coaching you get will be built on the wrong picture — and it may be unsafe for you. Accurate disclosure is your responsibility, not something we can verify.
The Service is currently a free beta. No fees are charged, and there is no way for you to pay us right now.
We do not promise that free access will continue. Paid plans existed before and may return. If and when paid plans are offered:
Nothing in this section obligates you to pay anything during the free beta.
Everything the coach says — workouts, programs, weights, set and rep targets, schedule changes, pain interpretations, rehab suggestions, return-to-activity progressions — is AI-generated content provided for general information.
Aldo points you at content we did not create and do not control. It reaches you three ways:
For all three: we do not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for third-party content — not the technique it demonstrates, the claims it makes, the products it advertises, or the safety of anything it tells you to do. A video you reached through Aldo is not vetted, is not part of the Service, and is not coaching we provided.
Once you follow a link you are on someone else's site, under their terms and their privacy policy, not ours. Copying a movement, a cue, a load, or a program out of a video is your decision and carries the same risks as any other training decision — see the Health & Safety Notice.
Don't:
We may suspend or remove access for any of the above.
You keep ownership of what you put into the Service: your workouts, programs, logs, notes, schedules, injury entries, pain scores, chat messages, and uploaded files ("Your Content").
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and process Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you. That includes sending the relevant parts of it to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate coaching responses, and to our other service providers for hosting, email, error monitoring, and analytics, as described in the Privacy Policy.
This license exists so the Service can function. It ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups and provider logs that expire on their normal schedule.
We do not sell Your Content, and we do not use it to train AI models.
The Service — its software, prompts, design, layout, name, and branding — belongs to us and is protected by law. These Terms give you permission to use the Service as intended; they do not give you any rights in our trademarks, software, or design.
You may use the coaching output the Service generates for you for your own training.
The Health & Safety Notice and Waiver is incorporated into these Terms by reference, including its assumption of risk and its release and waiver of liability. Accepting these Terms means accepting that document too, and the release in it applies to your use of the Service.
Short version, and it is not optional reading: exercise carries an inherent risk of injury or death; Aldo is not a doctor, physical therapist, or medical device; and the injury and rehab features are informational, not clinical care or clearance to return to activity.
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time — including if you break these Terms, if we need to protect the Service or other users, or if we stop offering the Service. If we can reasonably do so, we will give you notice.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive it: your representations, the license limits, intellectual property, the health and safety waiver, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We disclaim all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We specifically do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that its coaching, programs, pain interpretations, or rehab suggestions will be accurate, appropriate, or safe for you, or that any result — strength, fitness, weight, recovery, or return to activity — will be achieved.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. In particular, under California law a release or limitation does not cover gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud — see the Health & Safety Notice.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
If someone brings a claim against us because of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms or of the law, or your violation of someone else's rights, you agree to defend and indemnify us against that claim and its reasonable costs.
This is limited to claims caused by your own conduct. It does not cover claims arising from our own acts, and it does not apply to your ordinary, good-faith use of the Service for your own training.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
The Service is offered to users in the United States. We do not target it to users outside the US and it is not designed to meet non-US data-protection requirements.
Step 1 — talk to us first. If you have a dispute, email support@aldo-coach.app with a description of the problem and what you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it. Neither side may start a lawsuit until 30 days after that email, so give the informal step a real chance.
Step 2 — courts. If we can't resolve it, any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and both sides consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
We may update these Terms.
We update the "Last updated" date and the version number at the top of this document every time it changes.
