Use and safety

Terms and safety information

Effective and last updated: .

LiftJot records training you choose to perform. It does not prescribe a program, supervise technique, or assess whether an exercise is safe for you. LiftJot is provided free of charge, as is, and you use it at your own risk.

LiftJot is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It does not provide medical, physiotherapy, coaching, or nutrition advice. Resistance training carries an inherent risk of serious injury. Please read sections 4, 11, and 12 before relying on LiftJot.

1. Scope and acceptance

These terms apply to your use of the LiftJot mobile app and this website. LiftJot is developed and published by Vitalii Vyrodov (“LiftJot”, “we”, or “us”). By installing or using LiftJot, or by using this website, you agree to these terms and to use LiftJot lawfully. If you do not agree, please do not use LiftJot; you may remove the app at any time.

2. LiftJot is free

LiftJot is supplied free of charge. There is no subscription, in-app purchase, advertising, or paid tier, and you pay us nothing for the app or for support. We are not obliged to provide support, maintenance, updates, bug fixes, or continued availability, and any help we do give is offered on a best-effort, voluntary basis. This matters for sections 11 and 12: the protections we ask for reflect the fact that LiftJot is given away rather than sold.

3. Your licence to use LiftJot

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use LiftJot on devices you own or control, to keep your own training records, subject to these terms and to the terms of the store you obtained it from. You may not sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the app; remove or alter its notices; or reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble it, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction. Your workout records and the files you export remain yours.

4. Health, training safety, and assumption of risk

Resistance training carries inherent risks that exist whether or not you use an app to record it. They include muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint injury; dropped, mishandled, or failing equipment; back and spinal injury; dizziness, fainting, dehydration, and heat illness; cardiac and respiratory events; and, in rare cases, serious permanent injury or death.

You are solely responsible for exercise selection, loading, progression, technique, warm-up, equipment, environment, supervision or spotting, and for deciding when to stop. Do not treat a rest timer, a prefilled value, a previous entry, a progress view, or a “New best” indication as advice, as clearance to lift, or as evidence that a set or program is safe or appropriate for you. LiftJot displays what you have entered; it does not evaluate you.

You confirm that you are medically fit for the training you record. Consult a qualified physician before starting or changing a training program, and especially if you have or suspect a heart, circulatory, respiratory, metabolic, musculoskeletal, or neurological condition, are pregnant or postpartum, are recovering from injury or surgery, or take medication that affects exercise capacity. Stop immediately and seek appropriate medical help if you experience chest pain or pressure, breathlessness, faintness, sudden or severe pain, numbness, or any other concerning symptom.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily accept and assume all risk arising from training you choose to perform, including training you record in, plan around, or repeat because of information shown in LiftJot.

5. LiftJot is not professional advice

Nothing in LiftJot or on this website is medical, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, coaching, nutrition, or other professional advice, and nothing in it creates a practitioner or coaching relationship between you and us. It is not a substitute for consulting a qualified professional who can assess you in person. Never disregard, delay, or discontinue professional advice because of something LiftJot showed you.

6. Records and calculations

LiftJot is a logging aid. You remain responsible for checking entries, imported history, units, calculations, and restored data before relying on them. Progress summaries describe recorded data; they do not verify it, do not predict, and do not guarantee future performance or results.

7. Your data, files, and backups

LiftJot does not provide cloud sync or a developer-held recovery service, does not automatically send us a copy of your training log, and cannot restore it for you. If you deliberately attach and send a workout file in support email, that attachment is support correspondence under the Privacy Policy—not a developer recovery copy. Depending on your platform, your settings, and your installed version, Apple or Google may transport a recovery copy the app prepared, as part of operating-system-managed device backup. That is platform transport, not an upload to us: the operating system may never transport a copy, LiftJot cannot confirm that it did, any copy may be out of date, and recovery is not guaranteed.

Making your own backup is the step we recommend, and restoring one can replace your current record, so review the preview first and keep independent copies you trust. Files you create, and the safety copies LiftJot prepares around restore and import, may remain in the app's storage area or at any destination you sent them to, and are not all covered by in-app deletion controls. LiftJot does not add its own encryption to the files it writes. Software, devices, operating systems, storage media, and file transfers can fail, and data can be lost or corrupted. The Privacy Policy and the data, backups and exports guide describe what is kept and what the limits are. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for loss, corruption, or non-recovery of workout records, exports, backups, recovery copies, or any other data, however caused.

8. Availability, changes, and discontinuation

We aim to keep LiftJot reliable, but software, operating systems, file formats, store policies, and device services can fail or change. We may correct, change, add, remove, or discontinue features, versions, platform support, this website, or LiftJot as a whole, at any time and without liability to you. To the extent permitted by law, LiftJot is provided without any guarantee of uninterrupted availability, of fitness or performance results, or of compatibility with every device, operating-system version, vendor transfer tool, or third-party export. Keep your own backups so that a change, a defect, or discontinuation does not cost you your history.

9. Acceptable use

Do not misuse LiftJot or this website, interfere with or attempt to disrupt their operation, attempt to gain unauthorised access to them, violate another person’s rights, or use them in a way prohibited by law or by applicable sanctions and export-control rules. Third-party product names in import guidance identify compatible user-created file formats and do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

10. Feedback

If you send us a suggestion, bug report, feature idea, or other feedback, you do so voluntarily and you allow us to use it to develop and improve LiftJot without restriction, confidentiality obligation, attribution, or payment. This gives us no right to your workout data, and it does not stop you from using your own idea. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential or that you are not free to share.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, LiftJot and this website are provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty or condition of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, and any warranty that LiftJot will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that it will be compatible with your device or with any third-party file or service, or that data will be preserved without loss or corruption. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us or through LiftJot creates any warranty not expressly stated here.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or of statutory consumer guarantees. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent that law permits, and nothing in these terms affects rights you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and taking into account that LiftJot is supplied free of charge:

This applies regardless of the legal theory relied on, whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of the loss.

What is not excluded. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Depending on where you live, that may include liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, under mandatory consumer-protection law, and under mandatory product-liability law. Where applicable law does not permit one of the exclusions or limits above, that exclusion or limit applies only to the maximum extent that law allows, and the rest of this section remains in effect.

13. Your responsibility to us

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except where such a term may not be imposed on a consumer, you are responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs we incur that arise from your unlawful or unauthorised use of LiftJot or this website, from your breach of these terms, or from files or content you send us that you had no right to send. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and give you a reasonable opportunity to take part in how it is handled, and you are not responsible for any part of a claim caused by our own act or omission.

14. Marketplace terms

These terms supplement and do not replace mandatory law or the terms governing the store from which you obtained the app. On Apple platforms, Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies unless App Store Connect displays a different license; where these terms and that license conflict on the same point, that license prevails for the app obtained from the App Store. Google Play’s applicable user and developer terms also continue to apply.

If you obtained LiftJot from the App Store, you also acknowledge that: these terms are between you and us only, and not with Apple; Apple is not responsible for LiftJot or its content; Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for LiftJot; if LiftJot fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any purchase price you paid for it, which is zero, and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to LiftJot; Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to LiftJot or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that LiftJot fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer-protection claims, and claims that LiftJot infringes another party’s intellectual property rights; you meet the applicable usage rules, are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not listed on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted-party list; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Intellectual property

LiftJot’s app, name, icon, site design, and original content are owned by Vitalii Vyrodov or used under applicable licenses. Your workout records and user-created exports remain yours. Except for the licence in section 3, no right in LiftJot is transferred to you.

16. Age

LiftJot is intended for users aged 16 and older. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, use the app and contact support only with any consent required from a parent or guardian, and get adult guidance before performing resistance training.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to LiftJot, are governed by the law of Ukraine, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and the courts of Ukraine have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

If you use LiftJot as a consumer, this section does not take away protection you have under the mandatory law of your country of residence, and it does not prevent you from bringing proceedings in the courts of that country where its law gives you that right.

Before starting formal proceedings, please email liftjot@gmail.com describing the issue and allow us 30 days to try to resolve it. Most problems with a logging app turn out to be fixable. This request does not limit any mandatory right you have to go directly to a court, regulator, or consumer body.

18. General

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours to a successor who takes over LiftJot, provided your rights under these terms are not reduced. These terms, together with the store terms referenced in section 14 and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about LiftJot, and they replace earlier statements about it. Sections 4, 7, 11, 12, 13, 17, and this section survive any end of your use of LiftJot. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.

19. Changes, language, and contact

Revisions will be posted here with an updated date, and continuing to use LiftJot after a revision means you accept it. English is the reference version to the extent permitted by applicable law. Non-English versions are provided for convenience and intended to convey the same meaning; mandatory rights under applicable law are not limited by a translation rule.
