Legal
Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of zCycle for Mac and zCycle Ride for iOS (the “Apps”) provided by Adam Codes Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the Apps, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Apps.
1. The Apps
zCycle is a local indoor cycling trainer dashboard for Mac. zCycle Ride is a companion app for iOS that connects to zCycle on your Mac over your local network to show live ride metrics, remote controls, and optional Apple Health and iCloud sync. The Apps are intended for personal fitness and training use.
2. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Apps on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and App Store terms that apply to your download.
3. Free software
The core Apps are currently provided free of charge. We may introduce optional paid features in the future (for example zCycle Cloud). Any paid features will be described before you purchase them.
4. Your responsibilities
- Use the Apps in a safe environment. Indoor cycling involves physical exertion; stop if you feel unwell.
- Ensure your smart trainer, bike, and setup are properly maintained and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Keep your Mac and iOS devices on a trusted network when using the companion connection.
- Comply with applicable laws and these Terms.
5. Health and safety disclaimer
The Apps are not medical devices and do not provide medical advice. Metrics such as heart rate, power, and zones are estimates for training purposes only. Consult a qualified professional before starting a new exercise programme. We are not responsible for injuries, property damage, or losses resulting from your use of cycling equipment or the Apps.
6. Third-party services and hardware
The Apps interact with Bluetooth smart trainers, heart rate monitors, Apple Health, iCloud, and your local network. Those services and devices are provided by third parties (for example Apple, trainer manufacturers). We do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or policies.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. By using the Apps, you acknowledge that policy.
8. Intellectual property
The Apps, branding, documentation, and website content are owned by Adam Codes Ltd or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, distribute, or create derivative works except as permitted by law or with our written consent.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Apps are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Apps will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every trainer or device.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Adam Codes Ltd and its directors, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Apps. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Apps will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Apps in the twelve months before the claim (currently £0 for the free Apps).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable).
11. Termination
You may stop using the Apps at any time by uninstalling them. We may suspend or discontinue the Apps or these Terms if you breach them or if required for legal or safety reasons.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be noted in the Apps or on our website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country give you the right to bring claims in your home jurisdiction.
