Terms of Service
Last updated: 1 August 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Taper iPhone app ("Taper" or "the app"), provided by One Bright Studio ("we," "our," or "us"). By downloading or using Taper, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
Please read this: Taper provides general training guidance, not medical advice. Always train within your limits and check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program.
1. Not medical advice
Taper offers training plans, pace targets, fuelling suggestions and fitness estimates for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical, nutritional or coaching advice. Endurance training carries inherent risks. You are responsible for exercising sensibly, listening to your body, and seeking medical clearance where appropriate. We are not liable for any injury, illness or loss arising from your use of the app.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract in your country, to use Taper. The app is designed for adults training for endurance events.
3. Your account
Signing in is optional. If you create an account using Google or Apple Sign-In, you are responsible for keeping access to that account secure. You may delete your account and its cloud backup at any time from within the app.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the app, including by:
- Reverse-engineering, decompiling or tampering with the app, except where allowed by law
- Attempting to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to our systems or other users' data
- Using the app in any unlawful way or in breach of these Terms
5. Beta software
Taper may be made available to you as a pre-release or TestFlight beta. Beta versions are provided "as is," may contain bugs, and may change or stop working at any time. We'd love your feedback, but we don't guarantee that beta features will reach the final release.
6. Intellectual property
The app, its design, content and branding are owned by One Bright Studio and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for your own training. The training plan the app generates for you is yours to use.
7. Third-party services
Taper relies on Apple HealthKit and Google Firebase, and — if you choose to connect it — Strava. Your use of those features is also subject to Apple's, Google's and Strava's respective terms and privacy policies. How we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Availability & changes
We may update, change or discontinue the app or any feature at any time. We may also update these Terms; if we do, we'll post the new version here and update the date above. Continuing to use the app after changes means you accept them.
9. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, One Bright Studio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
