Welcome to Boathouse ("Boathouse", "we", "us"). These Terms of Use govern your use of the Boathouse mobile and web applications and the services they provide (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
You must be at least 13 years old, and meet any higher minimum age required for your country, to use Boathouse. If you are between 13 and 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms with you. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for any activity under your account. Tell us right away at the contact address below if you suspect unauthorized access.
Boathouse is a training analytics tool. It records workouts you upload, models your power-duration curve and physiological state, and produces estimates and visualizations of your fitness, training load, and predicted performances.
Boathouse is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a coach. Predictions, training-load metrics, capacity estimates, and trait readouts are descriptive analytics — they describe patterns in your data. They do not prescribe how hard, how long, or how often you should train. Always train under qualified supervision and consult a physician before beginning, modifying, or intensifying an exercise program.
You retain ownership of the workouts, photos, notes, and other data you upload ("Your Content"). By uploading, you grant Boathouse a non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content to operate the Service for you, any team you join, and the Social audience you choose when you opt in and share content.
You are responsible for the accuracy of Your Content. Don't upload anything you don't have the right to share, and don't upload content that violates anyone's privacy or intellectual property rights.
Do not:
Text is screened for common abusive language and Social profile photos require review before public display. Screening is not perfect. You can report a post, comment, or profile from its menu and block other athletes. Reports are reviewed by the Boathouse team; we may remove violating content or suspend Social access. For urgent concerns or appeals, contact mwkourakos@gmail.com.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
When you join a team, your training data (workouts, training load, capacity, traits) becomes visible to your coach and teammates by default. You can hide your heart rate from coach view in your account settings. Personal workouts are aggregated into the load metrics your coach sees but the per-rep details are not exposed in the coach drill-down.
Boathouse Social is optional. Joining makes your name, handle, profile, and permitted team affiliations discoverable to other signed-in athletes. You choose public or private visibility. Private profiles still show their header; approved followers can see their shared content. Workouts remain private until you share them or explicitly enable automatic sharing of eligible verified tests. Profile statistics have separate visibility switches. You can delete a Social post without deleting the underlying workout, change visibility, limit comments, or block other athletes.
If you connect Strava, Apple Health, or other third-party services, those integrations are subject to the third party's own terms and privacy policies. We only receive data you authorize through their connection flows, and we send only the data needed to perform the action you requested (e.g. pushing a completed workout).
Your profile picture, if you set one, is stored on our servers so it can be shown back to you and to your team, and, after moderation approval, to other athletes if you join Boathouse Social. Replacing the image requires a new Social approval.
The free tier is free to use as long as we offer it. Paid features (if any) will be clearly labeled and billed through the App Store or another disclosed payment processor. Cancellation and refunds follow the rules of that processor.
We may modify the Service or these Terms. Material changes will be communicated through the app, by email, or by a notice on next login. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Manage My Account. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. When you delete your account we erase it and everything attached to it — every workout, rep, split, force curve, heart-rate record, note, race result, goal, training-load history, trait and achievement — in a single operation, and the app tells you what was removed. There is no recovery window and no retained copy. If you want your training history, export it before you delete.
The Service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Boathouse is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any injury, illness, or loss arising from your training decisions, the accuracy of predictions, hardware failures, or interruptions in service.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction.
