Terms of Service

Last updated:

Short version: SplitStrategy is a planning tool, not a coach or a doctor. Use it to think about your race. Don't blame us if it doesn't go the way you wanted.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the SplitStrategy mobile app or this website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app or the site.

2. What the app is

SplitStrategy is a race split calculator and strategy advisor for track athletes and coaches. It provides mathematical pacing calculations and curated content (race cues, breathing protocols, athlete references, coaching frameworks) for 17 track events.

3. What the app is NOT

  • Not a coach. SplitStrategy is a tool for planning. It does not replace a real human coach who knows your training, fitness, and history.
  • Not medical advice. The content in the app — race cues, breathing protocols, training implications — is educational and informational. It is not medical, physiological, or therapeutic advice. Consult a qualified medical professional before starting or modifying any training program.
  • Not a guarantee. Following the suggestions in the app does not guarantee you'll hit any goal time, win any race, or avoid injury.

4. Use at your own risk

Running, sprinting, and hurdling are physical activities that carry inherent risks of injury. You agree that you are solely responsible for:

  • Your physical readiness to attempt any race or training session;
  • Your decision to follow, modify, or ignore any pacing suggestion the app provides;
  • The accuracy of the inputs you enter into the app;
  • Your race-day decisions and results.

5. Accuracy of content

We've made best efforts to ensure the race cues, breathing protocols, athlete references, and historical splits are accurate and sourced from credible coaches and verified race archives. However:

  • The content is informational, not authoritative.
  • Historical splits and athlete attributions may contain errors or simplifications.
  • Pacing band thresholds (IDEAL / EVEN / STANDARD / etc.) are coaching-norm estimates, not race-tested benchmarks for your specific fitness.

6. Intellectual property

The SplitStrategy app, this website, the logo, the curated content, and the source code are owned by HypeFuze and protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may use the app for personal training and race planning. You may not redistribute, resell, modify, or commercially exploit the app or its content without written permission.

Athlete names, records, and quotes are referenced under fair use for educational and editorial purposes. Original sources are credited where the source is publicly verifiable.

7. App Store and Google Play terms

The app is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Your use of the app is also subject to those stores' terms and conditions. If there is any conflict between this document and the store's terms, the store's terms control for store-related matters (billing, refunds, account access).

8. Pricing

The base SplitStrategy app is a one-time $4.99 purchase (or local equivalent) through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. There is no subscription on the base app, no in-app advertising, and no tracking. Your purchase grants you the v1.0 feature set and ongoing updates to it — bug fixes, content refinements, new events added to the core experience, and the AI Strategy Commentary feature planned for a later release. AI commentary usage will be rate-limited (currently planned at 50 calls per user per day) to keep service costs sustainable.

Future premium features. We may later release additional, distinct features (for example: multi-athlete coaching tools, advanced analytics dashboards, or other expansions beyond the core race-planning experience) that carry their own pricing — including the possibility of a separate one-time charge or subscription. Any such feature will be clearly labeled as a separate add-on, will be opt-in, and will never change the pricing of the base app you already purchased. The base app and its updates remain a one-time purchase.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The app and the site are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any defects will be corrected.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HypeFuze and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages — including damages for personal injury, lost training time, lost race opportunities, or loss of data — arising from your use of the app or this website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be excluded entirely, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app ($4.99 or local equivalent).

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app or website after a change means you accept the updated terms. Material changes will be surfaced inside the app.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts located in California.
