1. Service and operator
Bud Apps is an independently operated software project based in Norway. LiftBud is its strength-training product. The actual responsible person or legal entity and a working private contact have not yet been confirmed for publication. Bud Apps is a project name here; this draft does not assert that it is a registered company.
These proposed Terms cover the public Bud Apps website, the LiftBud Web Portal and the features available in the LiftBud Android internal alpha. Bud Core supplies their shared account and training services. The portal includes planning, workout logging, training review, Bud AI proposals and Social interfaces for review. Provider test-account eligibility and platform availability can limit access; an available sign-in method is not a promise of general public availability.
LiftBud Coach and FoodBud are future products, not services offered under this candidate. There are no approved paid subscriptions, purchase or refund arrangements described here.
2. Acceptance and eligibility
This local draft is provided for review and has no new effective date. Before publication, the operator must approve the Terms, eligibility policy and process for communicating material changes. The Privacy Policy explains data processing; acknowledging it is not blanket consent to every use of personal data.
The proposed eligibility rule is that you must be legally able to enter the agreement under the law that applies to you. LiftBud is not currently designed for children. A minimum product age, any guardian requirements and related safeguards remain to be decided. No age-verification or parental-consent process is claimed by this draft.
3. Accounts and security
Use your existing Bud account across supported Android and web features. Keep account information accurate, protect your password and connected provider accounts, and do not share credentials or access another person's account. If you suspect compromise, use a verified private project contact if you already have one; a dedicated security contact remains outstanding.
Email/password and configured Google or Facebook sign-in use Bud Core. Provider methods are subject to availability and their own provider terms. Linking another sign-in method does not create a second copy of your training history; disconnecting one does not delete your Bud account.
The web client uses protected-cookie sessions and removes earlier browser-storage credentials. Its server policy follows Core's 30-day foreground-inactivity window and 15-minute access lifetime, with Remember me requesting persistence across browser restarts. Server expiry and revocation remain authoritative. Website logout revokes that website session; it does not delete your account or training records. Log out when using a shared device. Android session and offline behavior depends on the installed build.
4. Permitted use and conduct
Use the available service to plan, record, review and deliberately share your training. Respect other people and only submit content you have the right to use.
- Do not bypass access controls, probe accounts without authorization, disrupt infrastructure or automate abusive traffic.
- Do not impersonate others, harass or threaten people, or submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive or privacy-invasive content.
- Do not upload malware, passwords, secret credentials or someone else's private information without permission.
- Do not treat a discoverable profile or a shared Program as permission to collect unrelated information about its owner.
5. Fitness and medical disclaimer
LiftBud is a training log and planning tool, not a medical service. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent or cure conditions, and does not replace qualified healthcare advice or individualized professional coaching.
Exercise involves risk. Select exercises, technique, loads, equipment, supervision and recovery appropriate to your circumstances. Stop if you experience pain, dizziness or other concerning symptoms and seek appropriate professional help. Progress totals and personal records describe logged activity; they do not establish that a program is safe or effective for you.
These statements do not waive rights or responsibilities that cannot be excluded by applicable law.
6. AI-generated program suggestions
When enabled, LiftBud can generate a proposed Program from your questionnaire using Bud Core and a configured server-local AI service. The implemented arrangement uses a local model runner; the development assistant used to write software is not the product's runtime provider.
Suggestions can contain errors, omit relevant context or be unsuitable. The service validates the proposed structure and can use a deterministic fallback after invalid model proposals. This validation does not assess medical suitability. An unavailable model service may return an error.
Review each Routine, exercise, set and rep target before accepting or performing it. Adjust or reject suggestions using your circumstances and qualified advice. Only an accepted proposal is saved as a normal Program. Avoid unnecessary sensitive information in optional free text.
7. Social features and user content
You retain ownership of your training records and content, including profile images, posts, comments, messages and uploaded media. You grant Bud Apps a limited, non-exclusive permission to store, process, reproduce and display that content only as needed to provide the requested service and deliver it to the supported audience you choose. Deliberately sharing a Program includes permission for the supported independent-copy function. No unrelated advertising or model-training license is granted here.
The Android implementation includes Bud relationships, searchable profiles, posts, comments, likes, direct messages and notifications. The expanded web review workspace implements Social and messaging through the same account and permission-aware Core contracts. Discoverability and access rules differ by feature. Do not assume all sharing is limited to accepted Bud relationships.
A Program marked public can be found by other signed-in users and copied into their accounts. Its shared planning information includes name, description, Routines, exercise selections, planning notes and targets. The copy does not include your completed workout sessions or private account details. Copies are independent: changing, unsharing or deleting your original does not update or remove someone else's copy. Narrow source attribution can remain.
Direct messages are stored by Bud Core for conversation participants. They are not end-to-end encrypted. Blocking and relationship changes do not currently guarantee that every existing conversation or saved copy is revoked. Content retained on a disconnected device may remain visible until that device reconnects. The current backend supports public-post discovery and Saved bookmarks. A bookmark does not override current source visibility or permissions. Public posts may reach permitted users beyond accepted Bud relationships.
Only share content you have permission to share. Moderation and reporting tools are limited in internal alpha. The proposed policy allows proportionate removal or restriction where necessary to address misuse, a legal requirement or a material risk to users; it does not claim constant monitoring or immediate removal.
8. Offline work and synchronization
Supported Android builds keep account-scoped cached records and pending edits on the device. Availability depends on the installed version, cached content and the action. The web portal requires a connection and has no offline editing mode.
A local edit waiting to synchronize is not yet an acknowledged Bud Core record. Synchronization can fail or need conflict resolution; delivery, ordering and data preservation are not guaranteed. A disconnected device cannot immediately detect a remote deletion or visibility change. Signing out restricts access but can leave an account's working copy and pending edits on the device.
Check the status of important changes and avoid deleting local data to resolve an error without understanding whether work is still pending. These practical limitations do not remove mandatory consumer rights.
9. Intellectual property
Bud Apps and LiftBud branding, software and original service content remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Your permission to use available features does not transfer ownership of the software or artwork. Your own content remains yours.
Access restrictions and enforcement must remain proportionate and subject to applicable law. Nothing here prevents uses that mandatory law permits.
10. Availability and changes
LiftBud Android is in internal alpha and the web portal is in review. Features can contain defects or be interrupted, changed or withdrawn. There is no public app-store release, announced iOS version or promised launch date. No particular uptime, training outcome or support response is guaranteed.
Material service or contract changes need an approved user-notification process and effective date before publication. Where applicable law requires notice, consent or a right to end the agreement, those requirements apply. Changing a date on this page alone does not resolve them.
11. Suspension, ending use and deletion
The proposed policy permits proportionate suspension where reasonably necessary for a security risk, serious misuse, legal obligation or material breach. Reasons and a way to seek review should be provided where practical and lawful; the operator must finalize that private process before publication.
You can stop using the service. Logging out, disconnecting a provider or uninstalling does not delete your Bud account or server training history. Available owner controls remove particular profile images, Programs, Routines and Social content, but a self-service whole-account deletion or export flow is not implemented.
A working private deletion/access request channel remains a publication requirement. If you already have a verified private project contact, use that channel. Do not post account or privacy requests publicly. Independent Program copies, offline devices and backups need separate consideration; immediate deletion from every copy is not promised.
12. Responsibility and consumer rights
The service is supplied in its current available state, without a promise of uninterrupted operation or suitability for a particular training goal. No term excludes liability or statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable consumer protections.
The internal-alpha label does not itself remove legal responsibilities. These draft provisions require qualified review for the actual service and audience. They do not introduce mandatory arbitration or a blanket waiver of remedies.
13. Governing law and disputes
The proposed governing-law provision is Norwegian law, while preserving consumers' mandatory protections in their country of residence and the jurisdiction rules that apply. This choice remains subject to legal review and approval.
Parties should have a practical private route to try to resolve a dispute. Courts or competent dispute bodies may hear unresolved matters under applicable law. A working operator contact must be supplied before this draft is published as effective Terms.
14. Contact and document status
The complete responsible-operator details and a dedicated public support, legal and privacy contact remain outstanding. No placeholder address is supplied. If you already have a verified private project contact, use that channel; public project issue threads are not suitable for personal information or privacy requests.
This is draft revision 3 of 22 September 2026, based on the published text dated 18 August 2026, the September review drafts and the implemented browser-session changes. Owner approval and qualified legal review remain required before a new effective version is published.
