Terms of Service

Loaded is meet-day organization software for powerlifting: it helps coaches and athletes track warm-ups, bar loads, attempts, pacing, and results, and provides community features. Loaded is an informational and organizational tool only.

Loaded is not a coach, trainer, medical provider, or professional advisor. Nothing in the Service — including generated warm-up schemes, suggested attempt weights, pacing estimates, timing alerts, or any other output — is medical advice, training advice, coaching advice, or a guarantee of safety or performance.

Powerlifting and weight training are inherently dangerous activities that can cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death. By using the Service, you acknowledge and voluntarily accept all risks associated with training and competition, whether or not those risks arise while using the Service.

Numbers produced by the Service — including warm-up progressions, suggested attempts, plate loading, and timing — are computational suggestions based solely on the data you enter. They do not account for your health, fatigue, injuries, technique, equipment, or any other real-world condition. You (and, for coached athletes, your coach) retain sole responsibility for every training and lifting decision, including whether to attempt any weight at all. Always apply independent judgment, use spotters and competent supervision, and consult a physician before engaging in strenuous exercise.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Loaded, its operator, and its affiliates from any and all liability for personal injury, death, or property damage arising out of or related to your training, competition, or reliance on any output of the Service.

Coaches who enter athlete information represent that they have the athlete's permission to do so. Coaches are solely responsible for the coaching decisions they make, including any decision to accept, modify, or reject suggestions generated by the Service. The Service does not create a coaching, fiduciary, or professional relationship between Loaded and any coach or athlete.

You are responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Athlete share links grant access to meet information for that athlete; treat links as confidential and share them only with the intended person. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to create an account; minors may use athlete links only under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or coach.

You own the content you post to the forum and your profile. By posting, you grant Loaded a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content within the Service. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, infringing, spam, or medical/doping advice presented as professional guidance. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms at our discretion.

You agree not to: misuse or interfere with the Service; access other users' data without authorization; scrape or bulk-copy the Service; reverse engineer non-public parts of the Service; or use the Service to violate any law or the rights of others.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. Prices, plan features, and billing periods are described at purchase. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable; you can cancel any time and keep access through the end of the paid period. We may change pricing with notice effective at your next renewal.

The Service may link to or interoperate with third-party services (for example, meet registration pages or meet-management software such as LiftingCast). Those services are not ours; their terms and privacy policies govern your use of them, and we are not responsible for them. Meet listings may be user-submitted and are not verified by Loaded — confirm details with the meet director.

The Service, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by Loaded's operator and protected by law. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service; they transfer no ownership.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR AVAILABLE DURING ANY PARTICULAR MEET, OR THAT ANY CALCULATION OR NOTIFICATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR TIMELY. VENUE CONNECTIVITY, DEVICE FAILURES, AND DATA ENTRY ERRORS CAN AFFECT RESULTS — ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR OWN BACKUP PROCESS FOR COMPETITION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) LOADED AND ITS OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR MISSED ATTEMPTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE; AND (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

You agree to defend and indemnify Loaded and its operator against claims arising from your use of the Service, your content, your coaching or training decisions, or your violation of these Terms.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. Sections 2 and 10–12 survive termination.

We may modify the Service or these Terms; material changes will be posted here with an updated date, and continued use constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to changed Terms, stop using the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state of the operator's principal residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located there, and you consent to their jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class action to the extent permitted by law.
