Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to the AI cycling coach and training platform operated for Surrey Cycling Club members ("the Platform"). The Platform is currently offered to Surrey Cycling Club members only. We may extend or white-label it for other clubs or as a standalone service in future.

1. Who may use the Platform

You must be at least 18 years old and a member of Surrey Cycling Club (or otherwise invited under a club programme we operate). By authorising Strava access and using the Platform, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

Member authentication is carried out by Strava. We do not hold your Strava password.

2. Club membership and access

While you are a member of Surrey Cycling Club, you have unlimited access to the Platform for the duration of that membership, subject to these Terms.

If you leave the club or are no longer eligible as a member, your access to the Platform will be revoked and all data we hold for you will be wiped from our systems immediately.

3. Strava access is read-only

Our Strava integration uses read-only API permissions (read, activity:read_all, profile:read_all). We use these to download activities and profile fields for analysis on the Platform.

We do not create, modify, upload, or delete activities, photos, comments, kudos, or profile information on your Strava account. We only read data from Strava and store a copy on our systems to power coaching and analytics.

If you disconnect or use Wipe & disconnect on your Profile, we revoke this app's access to Strava and delete data we hold. That does not delete anything on Strava itself.

4. Your data on the Platform

Data synced from Strava and information you enter on the Platform remains yours. We analyse it with our algorithms and may enhance coaching using Google Gemini AI. Your AI coach is linked to your profile only and is not shared with other members.

You may wipe synced data or wipe and disconnect at any time from your Profile page. See our Privacy Policy.

5. Club comparisons and leaderboards

The Platform supports coaching and performance analysis. You may be compared or highlighted against other club peers (for example monthly distance, annual riding, or power rankings) as a rank or leaderboard position, not by publishing your raw metrics to other members.

We are developing an opt-out from club comparison listings. Until then, email hello@surreycyclingclub.co.uk if you need to be excluded.

6. No reliance, no warranty

Content on the Platform is for general training information only. It is not medical advice. Obtain professional advice before changing your training or if you have health concerns.

The Platform, including AI coaching, Gemini outputs, eFTP, training load, and analytics, is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose.

You must comply with road, access, and local laws when cycling. We are not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the Platform while riding or training.

7. Reporting issues

If you spot inconsistent, unrealistic, or incorrect information, report it to club owners and email hello@surreycyclingclub.co.uk. We welcome feedback.

8. Acceptable use and suspension

You agree not to misuse the Platform, scrape it without permission, attempt unauthorised access, or interfere with other members' data. We may suspend or remove access if these Terms are breached or club membership requirements are no longer met.

If you believe someone else knows your Strava login details, notify Strava promptly and contact us.

9. Intellectual property

We own or license intellectual property in the Platform, including software, design, and analytics methods. You may not copy or commercialise the Platform without our written permission.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. It is your responsibility to review these Terms regularly. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Acceptance and withdrawal

By authorising Strava access and using the Platform, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. Go to your Profile, use Wipe & disconnect, and do not sign in again.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to your statutory rights if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
