These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of The Guard BJJ ("the app"), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training tracker developed by Luis Braga ("we", "our", or "us"). These Terms apply to the iOS version of the app distributed through the App Store. If you use the Android version, see the Terms of Service (Android). By creating an account or using the app you agree to these Terms and to our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
Your purchase of the app and of any subscription is also covered by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"), which still applies in full. These Terms supplement the Apple EULA and do not replace it. They add the rules for accounts, content, and conduct in The Guard BJJ and its community. If the two conflict on the license to the app or on purchases, the Apple EULA prevails. On community content, conduct, and moderation, these Terms prevail.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the app. By using the app, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are under the age of majority in your country, you may use the app only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.
Some features, including the community, require an account. Give accurate information and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@theguardbjj.app if you suspect unauthorized use.
"Your Content" means what you put into the app: training data, notes, photos, your display name, profile photo, school or gym name, technique and venue names, promotion messages, and anything else you submit. You keep ownership of Your Content.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, display, and sync Your Content as needed to run the app. This includes showing the parts you choose to share to other users in the community, and reviewing and keeping a copy of reported content for moderation. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies of reported content that we keep for safety and moderation as described in our Privacy Policy.
You confirm that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content and that it follows these Terms.
You may not post, upload, or share in the app, or send to other users, including in your profile, workouts, notes, and promotion messages:
You also may not use the app to harass or abuse other users, create or use accounts to get around a block, suspension, or termination, try to access another person's account, interfere with our servers or systems, reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it, or resell or commercially exploit the app.
The Guard BJJ has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content that breaks section 5 is removed. People who post it, or who abuse other users, lose access to community features or to their account, without prior warning when the violation is serious.
Report. In the iOS app, open the ••• menu on a member's profile, on a feed card (a workout, a belt promotion, or another post), or on a row in Students, Ranking, or your followers and following lists, and choose Report. Choose a reason (inappropriate photo, offensive name or text, harassment or bullying, spam, impersonation, or something else) and, if you want, add details of up to 500 characters. You can also write to us at hello@theguardbjj.app. The person you report is never told who reported them.
Block. Open the same ••• menu and choose Block, then confirm. When you block someone, you and that person stop seeing each other in the community: profiles, workouts, feed, rankings, member lists, and notifications are hidden in both directions, and any follows between you are removed. You can unblock someone at any time under Profile, Settings, Community, Who sees you, Blocked students.
More detail is in our Community Guidelines and on the Support page.
We review every report within 24 hours of receiving it. Depending on what we find, we may hide a profile field (such as a name, photo, or school) or other content from other users while we review it, remove content, restrict an account, or terminate it. We may also act on content we find ourselves, without a report. If you think we got a decision wrong, write to us at hello@theguardbjj.app and we will take another look.
You may stop using the app at any time. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or the Community Guidelines, harm other users or third parties, or where the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as the license to reported content, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.
You can delete your account at any time from within the app (Profile tab, Settings, Account, Delete Account), or as described on our account deletion page. See our Privacy Policy for what is deleted and when.
The app may offer paid subscriptions that unlock premium features. Prices are shown in the app before purchase. Purchases, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Apple under the Apple EULA and your Apple Account settings. We do not receive or store your payment details.
The app is a training and fitness tracker for informational purposes only. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Data such as heart rate and calories burned are estimates and may be inaccurate. Consult a qualified physician before starting or changing any exercise program. Jiu-Jitsu and physical training carry inherent risks; you participate at your own risk and are responsible for training safely.
The app, its design, logos, text, and software are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license in the Apple EULA, these Terms do not transfer any rights in the app to you.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that data will always be preserved. Users create the content in the community. We act on reports as described above, but we cannot guarantee that all objectionable content is caught or removed immediately.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the app. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence apply.
