Terms of Service

GymBlock
Effective Date: October 8, 2026
Last Updated: October 8, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the GymBlock application for iPhone (the "App") operated by Sodhera Intelligence Private Limited ("Sodhera," "we," "us," or "our"), Satdobato, Lalitpur, Bagmati Province 44700, Nepal.

By downloading, installing, signing in to, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

By creating an account or using the App, you confirm that:

  1. You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
  2. You are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher).
  3. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and consented to your use of the App.
  4. You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, and you are not barred from using the App under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

2. Description of the Service

GymBlock is a strength-training companion that provides:

  • Rest timer with optional local alerts when a rest ends and a reminder if a workout is left running.
  • Set logging: exercise, weight, reps or minutes, timing, and warm-up or unsuccessful flags for every set.
  • Splits: optional, named lists of exercises that rotate from workout to workout, or a free workout without a split.
  • Like-for-like progress: comparisons of the same exercise within the same split, with reps or load held constant, calculated from what you log.
  • Phone-away block (simulated): a representation of your chosen apps being blocked while a workout runs. See Section 4.
  • Lock Screen Live Activity showing the current rest or set during a workout.
  • Account sync between your iPhone and your account, and the optional GymBlock Pro subscription (Section 6).

Some features may require an active subscription, and we may change features over time as described in Section 11.

3. Fitness and Health Disclaimer

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION OF THESE TERMS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

3.1 Not Medical or Professional Advice

GymBlock is a logging and timing tool. Nothing in the App, including rest lengths, progress figures, estimates, prompts, pledges, or any text or number the App shows, is medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment, a training program, or professional coaching. The App does not know your health, your injuries, your technique, or your limits.

Before starting or changing any exercise program, consult a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high blood pressure, an injury, or any other condition that exercise could affect. If you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath while training, stop immediately and seek medical help. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services. GymBlock cannot provide emergency assistance.

3.2 You Are Responsible for Safe Training

You are solely responsible for:

  • Choosing exercises, loads, reps, and rest periods that are safe for you;
  • Using correct form and appropriate equipment, including spotters and safety bars where needed;
  • Entering accurate information, since the App only calculates from what you enter; and
  • Deciding whether and how to act on anything the App shows you.

3.3 Calculations, Not Measurements

Like-for-like progress, strength comparisons, and the "time on your phone" estimate are calculations from the sets you log and the answers you gave during onboarding. They are not measurements of your body, your performance, or your phone use, and they may be wrong if your entries are incomplete or inaccurate. We make no representation that any figure in the App reflects your actual strength, fitness, health, or behavior, and we do not predict or promise any physical outcome.

3.4 No Guarantee of Accuracy

We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any timer, alert, notification, Live Activity, calculation, or stored record. Timers and alerts depend on iOS and your device settings and may be delayed, suppressed, or missed.

4. App Blocking Is Simulated

GymBlock describes keeping your phone away between sets and lets you choose apps to "block." In the current version of the App, this feature is a simulation and a representation only. You understand and agree that:

  • GymBlock does not control, restrict, shield, monitor, or read other apps on your iPhone;
  • GymBlock does not use Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, or Managed Settings frameworks and does not request those permissions;
  • Nothing prevents you from opening any app during a workout, and no app, call, or system function is ever disabled by GymBlock;
  • The block screen, pledge, and the list of apps you chose are prompts to help you keep a commitment you make to yourself, not enforcement; and
  • You must not rely on GymBlock to restrict your own or anyone else's device use.

If a future version adds real enforcement, we will say so in the App and update these Terms and the Privacy Policy before it is enabled.

5. Your Account

5.1 Creating an Account

GymBlock requires an account, created with Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. We receive the account identifier, email address (which may be an Apple private relay address), and the name that Apple or Google shares. We do not create or store a password for you. Your account with Apple or Google is governed by their terms.

5.2 Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple or Google account and your iPhone, for all activity that occurs under your GymBlock account, and for notifying us promptly at admin@sodhera.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You agree to provide accurate profile information and to use the App only for your own training.

5.3 Logging Out and Deleting Your Account

Log out ends your session on that iPhone and keeps your account and its data so you can sign in again. Delete account (Settings → Delete account) permanently deletes your account and all of its data from our systems and wipes the local copy from that iPhone. You can also request deletion by email from the account's email address. See User Data Deletion. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription; cancel it with Apple as described in Section 6.

5.4 Suspension or Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if your use of the App poses a security or legal risk to us or to others, if we are required to do so by law, or if we discontinue the App. Where reasonably possible, we will give you an opportunity to export your data first.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

6.1 GymBlock Pro

GymBlock Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, currently offered at USD 4.99 per month or USD 49.99 per year. Prices in your local currency are set by Apple, and the plans and prices that apply to you are those shown on the subscription screen in the App at the time of purchase.

6.2 Billing Through Apple

All purchases are made through the App Store and billed by Apple to your Apple Account. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. We never receive or store your payment card details. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and keep your subscription status current across devices, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6.3 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

6.4 Managing and Cancelling

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in iOS Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions (or by opening the subscription management link in the App). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Pro features until then. Deleting the App or deleting your GymBlock account does not cancel a subscription.

6.5 Refunds

Purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's refund policies. We generally cannot issue refunds directly; please request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing in this section limits refund rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law.

6.6 Restoring Purchases and Price Changes

If you reinstall the App or sign in on a new iPhone, use Restore purchases in the App to reactivate GymBlock Pro under the same Apple Account. We may change subscription prices for future periods; Apple will notify you in advance of any increase and, depending on your region, may ask you to agree to the new price before it applies. If you do not agree, your subscription ends at the close of the current period.

7. Your Content and Data

7.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of the information you enter into the App, including your profile, onboarding answers, splits, workouts, and sets ("User Content").

7.2 License to Us

To operate the App, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit, back up, and display your User Content solely to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the App, including syncing it to your account through our service providers. This license ends when your User Content is deleted from our systems, except for backups during the roll-off period and aggregated statistics that cannot identify you.

7.3 Privacy

Our collection and use of your information, including first-party product analytics, is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7.4 Your Local Copy

The App keeps a copy of your data on your iPhone and syncs it to your account. Sync depends on connectivity and may be delayed. You are responsible for keeping your iPhone backed up through iOS; we do not guarantee that any particular record will be recoverable if it was never synced.

8. License and Acceptable Use

8.1 License to You

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules.

8.2 Restrictions

You agree not to:

The "GymBlock" name and logo are trademarks of Sodhera. Except for the limited license in Section 8, these Terms do not transfer any right, title, or interest in the App to you. Any feedback you send us may be used without obligation to you.

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including Apple (Sign in with Apple, the App Store, and iOS features such as notifications and Live Activities), Google (Sign in with Google), Supabase (authentication, database, and hosting), and RevenueCat (purchase validation). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies, including:

We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of third parties, and their availability may affect the App's functionality.

11. Availability and Changes to the App

We strive to keep the App and sync available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The App may be unavailable because of maintenance, outages at our providers, network conditions, changes to iOS, or events beyond our control.

We may modify, add, remove, or discontinue features of the App, or the App itself, at any time. If we discontinue the App or a paid feature while you have an active subscription, we will give reasonable notice where possible; refunds for any unused period are determined by Apple's policies and applicable law.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account as described in Section 5.3. We may terminate these Terms and your access as described in Section 5.4. On termination, the license granted to you ends, and sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 3, 4, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16) continue to apply.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (to the extent it applies), constitute the entire agreement between you and Sodhera regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. Where these Terms and Apple's EULA conflict, the EULA's minimum terms apply and these Terms supplement them.

17.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable or, if that is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

17.3 Waiver

In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Sodhera's responsibility.

20.6 Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

20.7 Third-Party Beneficiary

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
