Terms of use

These are the terms for using cadennce, a personal running analytics app operated by Theo Wecker ("cadennce", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. We have kept them readable, but they are a binding agreement, so please read them.

Who can use cadennce

You must be at least 16 years old to use cadennce. By using it, you confirm that you are 16 or older and able to enter into this agreement. cadennce is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for all activity on your account. Please provide accurate information, keep it current, and tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. You may not share your account, or use someone else's, without permission.

Your data is yours

The running data and profile details you add belong to you. We store and process them only to run the app for you (see the privacy policy). You can edit, export, or delete your data, or close your account, at any time. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything important to you; we do not guarantee that data is retained or recoverable, and you should not rely on cadennce as your only record.

Connected services

If you connect Strava, Garmin, or a similar service, your use of that service remains governed by its own terms, and cadennce is not responsible for it. cadennce reads only the data you authorize and honors your choice to disconnect at any time.

Acceptable use

Use cadennce only for its intended purpose: tracking and understanding your own running. You agree not to break, overload, probe, or interfere with the service, access accounts or data that are not yours, upload malicious or unlawful content, scrape or reverse engineer the app, or use it in any way that violates the law or another person's rights. We may remove content or restrict access that breaches these terms.

Our intellectual property

cadennce, including its name, brand, design, software, and content we create, belongs to us and is protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your own running. This does not transfer any ownership to you, and you may not copy, resell, or build a competing product from it.

Not medical or professional advice

cadennce provides estimates and insights to inform your own judgment. Training metrics, heart-rate zones, fueling suggestions, and race predictions are not medical, health, nutritional, or coaching advice, and may be inaccurate. Running and physical activity carry inherent risks. You take part at your own risk, are responsible for your own safety, and should consult a qualified professional before acting on anything the app shows. Always listen to your body.

Provided as is, no warranties

cadennce is an independent project provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the app will be accurate, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any data will be preserved. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service, or your access to it, at any time and without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, cadennce and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, or for any injury, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the app, even if we have been advised of the possibility. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us to use cadennce in the twelve months before the claim (which is zero for the free service) or fifty US dollars.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless cadennce and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the app, your content, or your breach of these terms or of any law or third-party right.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using cadennce and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, misuse the service, or create risk or legal exposure for us or others. On termination, your right to use the app ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will continue to apply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and you agree that the state and federal courts located in Colorado have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not otherwise resolved.

Changes, and the rest

We may update these terms as the app grows; the date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use cadennce after a change means you accept it. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stay in effect. These terms, together with the privacy policy, are the entire agreement between us. Questions? Email theo@theowecker.com.
