KOVA Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-05-27 Last updated: 2026-05-27

Plain-language summary (not part of the legal Terms): KOVA is a fitness tracking app. You agree to use it lawfully, not to abuse the service or other users, and to pay for any subscription you start. We provide the app "as-is," can't guarantee it's perfect, and our liability is limited. You can delete your account anytime. EU consumers keep their statutory rights.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and KOVA ("KOVA", "we", "us", or "our"), the provider of the KOVA mobile application (the "App") and any related websites, APIs, content, and services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use KOVA

1.1. Minimum age. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If your jurisdiction sets a higher digital-consent age (e.g. some EU/EEA member states under GDPR Article 8 set it to 13–16), you must meet that local minimum. Users under 18 represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms.

1.2. Authority. If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company, gym, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

1.3. Eligibility. You may not use the Service if (a) you are located in a country embargoed by the EU or the United States, (b) you are on a denied-party or sanctioned list, or (c) we have previously terminated your account.

2. Your account

2.1. Registration. You must provide accurate information when creating your account, keep it current, and safeguard your credentials. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

2.2. One personal account. Accounts are personal. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account. Coaches with a coaching-mode account may manage athletes who hold their own personal accounts under the coaching workflow described in the App.

2.3. Account deletion. You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account. Deletion removes your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Some data may be retained where required by law (e.g. transaction records, fraud-prevention logs) or in anonymized/aggregate form.

2.4. Suspension or termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your access (with or without notice) if you violate these Terms, expose the Service to security or legal risk, abuse other users, attempt to defraud us or our payment providers, or if continuing the relationship is materially impractical (e.g. discontinuation of the Service).

3. Health, fitness, and medical disclaimer

3.1. KOVA is not a medical device or healthcare provider. Workout plans, nutrition suggestions, calorie or macro targets, supplement recommendations, AI-generated routines, plateau-detection signals, and any other guidance provided through the App are for informational and motivational purposes only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, prescription, or treatment.

3.2. Consult a professional. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new exercise program, changing your diet, taking supplements, or if you have any medical condition. Stop exercising and seek medical attention immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other symptom of concern.

3.3. Assumption of risk. Physical exercise carries inherent risks of injury or death. By using KOVA, you knowingly accept those risks and agree that KOVA is not responsible for injuries, illnesses, or losses resulting from your use of the App or any activities you perform based on App content.

3.4. AI-generated content. Features that use artificial intelligence (food photo analysis, routine generation, coach chat, recipe macros, plateau detection, deload suggestions, meal suggestions, weekly recap) can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading results. Always verify before relying on AI output, especially for nutritional or training decisions.

3.5. Apple Health and recovery estimates. If you connect Apple Health, KOVA reads metrics such as steps, heart rate, HRV, sleep, and active energy to estimate a daily "recovery" or "readiness" score and to tailor training and rest-day suggestions. These estimates are informational and motivational only, are not a measurement of your medical condition, and must not be used to diagnose, treat, or make medical decisions. Apple Health is optional and off until you enable it; you can disconnect at any time in Settings.

4. Subscriptions and payments

4.1. Free and paid tiers. Some KOVA features are free; others require a paid subscription ("KOVA Pro" or another tier we offer). Available tiers, prices, and features are shown in the App and may change.

4.2. Billing. Subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store (StoreKit) or Google Play, depending on your platform. Apple/Google — not KOVA — is the merchant of record for subscription purchases. By subscribing you also agree to Apple's or Google's payment terms.

4.3. Auto-renewal. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal. You can manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions or Google Play → Subscriptions.

4.4. Trials. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial unless canceled before the trial ends. Eligibility is limited to one trial per user per platform.

4.5. Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies; KOVA cannot directly issue store refunds. EU/EEA and UK consumers retain any non-waivable statutory right of withdrawal — note that you may waive this right by expressly consenting to immediate access to digital content under EU Directive 2011/83/EU Article 16(m).

4.6. Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Changes apply to the next renewal period and we will notify you in advance as required by your platform's rules and applicable law.

4.7. Taxes. Prices may exclude or include applicable taxes depending on your jurisdiction. You are responsible for any taxes not collected by Apple or Google on our behalf.

5. Acceptable use

5.1. You agree not to:

  • violate any law, regulation, or third-party right;
  • upload, post, or share content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, exploitative of minors, or that infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights;
  • impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
  • upload progress photos, body measurements, or social content of any person other than yourself without their explicit, informed consent;
  • probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service; bypass rate limits or security controls; or interfere with any other user's use of the Service;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code, except where explicitly allowed by mandatory law;
  • use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access the Service or its data;
  • resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or its content without our written permission;
  • submit knowingly false barcodes, food submissions, or other catalog data;
  • misuse the AI food-scan, coach chat, or other AI features in ways that violate the underlying model providers' acceptable-use policies (e.g. illegal content, weapons, malware).

5.2. Enforcement. We may remove content, restrict features, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice depending on severity.

6. User content

6.1. Ownership. You retain ownership of content you upload — workout notes, progress photos, social posts, comments, custom exercises and routines, food submissions, measurement entries, and similar (collectively, "User Content").

6.2. License you grant KOVA. You grant KOVA a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, non-exclusive license to host, store, transmit, reproduce, display, adapt (e.g. resize, transcode, compress), and otherwise use your User Content solely to operate, provide, secure, improve, and promote the Service, and to enforce these Terms. This license ends when you delete the relevant User Content or your account, except where (a) the content has been shared with other users who retain copies they made, or (b) we are required to retain it by law.

6.3. Social and public content. Content you mark as public (social feed posts, public profile fields, comments) may be visible to all signed-in users. Do not post anything you wouldn't want shared. We may remove public content that violates these Terms.

6.4. Food submissions and barcode catalog. Food data you submit to the public catalog (via barcode scan or food creation) becomes part of a shared catalog available to other KOVA users. You agree your submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge and contains no personal data of others.

6.5. Feedback. If you send feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

7. Third-party services and content

7.1. The Service integrates with third-party providers: Apple App Store / StoreKit, Google Play Billing, RevenueCat (subscription management), Supabase (backend hosting and database), OpenAI (AI features), Apple Sign In, Google Sign In, Apple Health (HealthKit, iOS), and others described in the Privacy Policy. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms.

7.2. Open Food Facts. The App displays product data sourced from Open Food Facts and other public datasets. Such data is provided under the relevant open-data license (e.g. Open Database License) and may be inaccurate. We are not responsible for third-party data.

7.3. Third-party links. The App may link to third-party websites. We do not control or endorse them.

8. Intellectual property

8.1. The Service, including all software, design, logos, icons, names, text, images, and branding, is owned by KOVA or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license to use the Service granted by these Terms, we reserve all rights.

8.2. You may not use our trademarks (including "KOVA" and the KOVA logo) without our prior written permission.

8.3. DMCA / IP complaints. If you believe your intellectual-property rights are infringed in the App, send a notice to kopnickydavid@gmail.com containing the information required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) or the applicable local equivalent.

9. Beta features

We may label features as "beta", "preview", or "experimental." Such features are provided as-is, may change or be discontinued at any time, and are excluded from any service-level commitment.

10. Disclaimers

10.1. As-is. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OF DATA, AND AVAILABILITY.

10.2. No guarantee of results. We do not guarantee any specific fitness, body-composition, nutritional, or health outcome from using the Service.

10.3. No data loss guarantee. While we use industry-standard safeguards, we do not guarantee that User Content will never be lost, corrupted, or accidentally deleted. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of important data.

10.4. Consumer statutory rights. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable statutory rights you have as a consumer under applicable law (including EU Directive (EU) 2019/770 on digital content).

11. Limitation of liability

11.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, KOVA AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

11.2. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) EUR 50.

11.3. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW — INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (FOR EU/UK CONSUMERS) STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold KOVA harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your User Content, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (d) your misuse of the Service. This section does not apply to consumers acting outside their trade, business, craft, or profession where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law.

13. Changes to the Service or these Terms

13.1. Changes to the Service. We may add, modify, suspend, or remove features. We will use reasonable efforts to give notice of material adverse changes through the App, by email, or by other reasonable means.

13.2. Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. Material changes take effect at least 30 days after we post the updated Terms, by giving notice in the App or by email. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and delete your account.

14. Governing law and disputes

14.1. Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Slovak Republic, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

14.2. Consumer protection. If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA or UK, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

14.3. Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 14.2, any dispute will be brought exclusively in the courts of Bratislava, Slovak Republic.

14.4. EU online dispute resolution. The European Commission's online dispute-resolution platform is available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged to use an alternative dispute-resolution body.

14.5. U.S. residents — arbitration & class waiver (where enforceable). If U.S. law applies to a dispute, you and KOVA agree that disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration (not class actions), except small-claims actions and intellectual-property claims. Where this waiver is unenforceable under applicable state or federal law, it does not apply.

15. Apple-specific terms

If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, these additional terms apply between you and KOVA — Apple is not a party to these Terms:

  • These Terms are between you and KOVA only, not with Apple. KOVA (not Apple) is solely responsible for the App and its content.
  • Your license to use the App is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
  • If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
  • KOVA, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App, including product-liability and IP-infringement claims.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16. Google Play-specific terms

If you obtained the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. KOVA, not Google, is responsible for the App.

17. Export controls

You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, including those of the EU, the United States, and the United Kingdom. You may not use the Service in any jurisdiction or by any person where such use is prohibited.

18. Miscellaneous

18.1. Entire agreement. These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and any in-product notices we present) form the entire agreement between you and KOVA regarding the Service.

18.2. Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

18.3. No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.

18.4. Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

18.5. Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

18.6. Notices. Notices to you may be sent through the App, by email to the address on your account, or by other reasonable means. Notices to us must be sent to kopnickydavid@gmail.com.

18.7. Language. These Terms are written in English. Translations are provided for convenience; in case of conflict, the English version controls.
