Terms of Service

Coach Claw ("we," "us," "our") provides an AI-powered running coaching service accessible at app.coachclaw.fitness and through the Coach Claw MCP server. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Coach Claw. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement. The Service is not directed at children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under that age.

2. What Coach Claw Does

Coach Claw analyzes your training and health data (synced from third-party providers like Garmin) and provides coaching analysis, training recommendations, and conversational coaching through an MCP server connected to Claude (an AI assistant operated by Anthropic).

3. Your Account

You are responsible for:

• All activity that occurs under your account.
• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
• Notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

We use Clerk for authentication. Clerk handles password storage, multi-factor authentication, and session management. Your Clerk account is governed by Clerk's own terms.

4. Acceptable Use — What You Must Not Submit

You agree not to submit, store, or transmit the following through the Service:

• Social Security numbers, government identifiers, or financial account numbers beyond what Stripe collects directly for billing.
• Detailed medical records, diagnoses, or protected health information.
• Information about other people (other than basic public references to training partners) without their consent.
• Login credentials for services other than the providers we explicitly support (Garmin, etc.).
• Information you are legally required to keep confidential.
• Content that infringes intellectual property, violates law, or is defamatory.

The Service is designed to analyze training and wellness data; sharing other sensitive information through the chat interface, MCP, or coaching memory is prohibited. If you submit prohibited information, we may delete it without notice and, in severe or repeated cases, terminate your account.

5. Third-Party Providers

Coach Claw connects to third-party services on your behalf. By using these features, you authorize us to connect to and exchange data with them. Each third party has its own terms and privacy practices that govern your relationship with them:

• Garmin Connect. To pull your activities, sleep, HRV, and other health data, we authenticate to your Garmin Connect account using credentials you provide. Garmin does not currently offer a public OAuth flow to small developers, so we use the unofficial python-garminconnect client to authenticate. This means we must store your Garmin password (encrypted at rest with industry-standard symmetric encryption) until you disconnect the integration or delete your account. We use these credentials solely to access your Garmin data on your behalf. You can disconnect at any time from the Integrations page.
• Anthropic (Claude AI). To produce coaching analysis and respond to your queries, we send relevant portions of your training and health data to Anthropic for AI inference. Anthropic processes the data under its own commercial terms.
• Stripe. Billing and payment processing. Stripe handles card data; Coach Claw does not store card numbers.
• Railway and Tigris. Hosting and object storage for chart images and serialized data.

6. Subscription and Billing

Coach Claw offers a paid subscription ($3.99/month at the time of writing). Billing is handled by Stripe. You authorize Stripe to charge the payment method on file at the start of each billing cycle. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. You may cancel at any time through the customer billing portal accessible from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice, communicated by email to the address on file.

7. Intellectual Property

Coach Claw, including its software, designs, and content, is owned by [YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY] and protected by intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of the data you upload or sync to the Service. You grant us a non-exclusive license to use that data to operate, improve, and provide the Service to you.

We may use aggregated, de-identified data (data from which you cannot reasonably be re-identified) for product analytics and improving the Service.

8. Service Availability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the Service will meet your requirements. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time, with or without notice.

9. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• The Service is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
• We do not warrant that the Service will be secure, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
• Any coaching output is generated by AI and may be inaccurate or incomplete. The AI may hallucinate facts, misread data, or produce recommendations that are unsuitable for your situation.
• Coach Claw is not a medical service. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified professional for medical or health decisions.
• Training and physical activity carry inherent risks, including injury or death. You assume all risks associated with following any recommendation provided by the Service.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost revenue, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
• These limitations apply to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Coach Claw, its operators, affiliates, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.
• Any content or information you submit through the Service.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or for any other reason in our discretion. Upon termination, your access to the Service ends and your data may be deleted (subject to the data retention terms in the Privacy Policy).

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice in the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE], and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
