What these terms are
They are the agreement between you and us for using Brod, the mobile application and its web panel. You accept them when you create your account — the "I accept the terms" box on the sign-in screen — and every time you use the application. We store the date and time you accepted them; that is the only trace that gesture leaves.
If you do not agree with them, do not use Brod. If you are only reading this page, the legal notice applies to you, not this.
Who provides the service
Germán Ezequiel Laso Andino, sole trader (libero professionista), trading as ProfBlu. VAT number 04702090988, tax code LSNGMN88S04Z600M, not registered in the Italian Business Register. Contact address Via della Sega 1, 38080 Verdesina, Porte di Rendena (TN), Italia. Email: soporte@profblu.com.
What Brod is, and what it is not
Brod is a coach's working tool: it is used to prepare a training plan, deliver it to an athlete and follow what that athlete does, set by set. Your coach writes the plan; Brod carries and records it.
Brod is not a medical or health service, does not diagnose, does not prescribe and does not replace the assessment of a healthcare professional. What you train, how much and how, you decide with your coach. If you have an injury, an illness or any doubt about whether you can do an exercise, see a doctor first. Training carries risks, and the application neither removes nor measures them.
Your account
- There are two ways to have an account. On your own: at
my.brod.profblu.com/altaanyone can create their account and their gym with no invitation, with six months free. By invitation from a gym or a coach already using Brod, which is how athletes and staff come in. - The details you provide must be yours and true.
- The account is personal. Sharing the password makes whatever the person who signs in with it does your own. If you think someone has entered your account, change the password and let us know; you can close open sessions from the application itself.
- You must be at least fourteen years old. If a club registers an athlete who is a minor, the club is responsible for holding the authorisation of the person with parental responsibility or guardianship.
Your club and us
Your club — the coach or organisation that registered you — decides what it keeps about you, what plan it prepares for you and who on its team sees it. We provide the tool and store the data on its behalf. The relationship between the club and us has its own contract; the relationship between you and your club is yours, and Brod neither replaces it nor answers for it. What this means for your data is in the privacy policy.
Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use Brod on devices you control, only for what the application is made for. You may not copy, modify, decompile, rent, resell it or use it to build another service. Anything we do not expressly grant, we keep.
Brod is distributed through Apple's App Store and Google Play; when you download it from there, those stores' terms apply to you as well. What they require us to say is in the section App stores.
Acceptable use
By using Brod you undertake not to:
- enter other people's personal data without their knowledge and consent;
- attempt to access data of other accounts or other clubs, or to bypass permission controls;
- strain the service with automation that degrades it for others;
- use it for anything illegal, or to harass anyone.
If you find a security flaw, tell us before telling anyone else, at soporte@profblu.com. We will genuinely appreciate it.
What you record remains yours
The notes you write and what you record while training are yours. We use them only to provide the service: store them, show them to you and show them to whoever your club authorises. We use them for nothing else. The plan your coach prepares is their work, and its use outside Brod is their decision.
Optional phone features
Notifications, calendar and Face ID or fingerprint unlock are optional: the application works without them. Each is enabled through a system permission you can withdraw at any time from your phone's settings.
Availability and changes to the service
We work to keep Brod available and to store what you record safely, and we make daily backups. But we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability: the application is updated often, there may be maintenance and it may fail. What you record without coverage is stored on the phone and sent when coverage returns; do not delete the application with data pending upload.
We may change, improve or withdraw features. If we withdraw something that genuinely affects how you use Brod, we will announce it beforehand.
Price
Today Brod charges you nothing as an athlete. If your club pays for the service, that is a contract between the club and us. If one day there were a price for the athlete, we would say so beforehand, in the application itself and in these terms, and you would not be charged anything you had not expressly accepted.
Warranties and liability
Brod is provided "as is", with the care we put into it and without warranty that it fits a particular purpose or is free of errors. To the extent the law allows:
- we are not liable for indirect damages, loss of profit or loss of data we did not cause by wilful misconduct or gross negligence;
- we are not liable for training decisions: your coach makes them with you, and Brod only records them;
- we are not liable for what your club does with your data or for the relationship between you.
If you are a consumer, none of this curtails the rights your country's law grants you that cannot be excluded. What the law does not allow to be excluded is not excluded.
Suspension and closure
You may stop using Brod whenever you wish and delete your account from the application itself, in Profile → Delete my account. Deletion is immediate; what is deleted and what is kept is set out in the privacy policy. If you own a gym you must first hand the gym over or close it, because your account holds up other people's data. Your club may remove your profile from its organisation; that does not delete your account.
We may suspend or close access if these terms are breached or if use puts the service or other people at risk; except in an emergency, we will give notice first.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we will announce it inside the application or by email with enough time to read them or to leave. Continuing to use Brod after the effective date means you accept them. The date of the latest revision is at the top of this page.
Governing law and complaints
Italian law applies, being the law of the owner's domicile. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence and the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your domicile. Before it comes to that, write to us: almost everything is solved with an email. The European Union also offers an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
App stores
Apple and Google require us to say the following, and it is true:
- These terms are between you and us, not with Apple or Google. They are not a party and are not responsible for Brod.
- The licence for the version downloaded from the App Store is limited to Apple devices you own or control, under the Usage Rules of the Apple Media Services Terms.
- Maintenance and support of Brod are our responsibility, not Apple's or Google's; write to soporte@profblu.com.
- If Brod fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify the store and, if you paid anything for the application, it will refund it; beyond that, any claim is with us.
- Any claim relating to the application — product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection, intellectual property — is with us, not with the store.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo nor on a list of restricted parties.
- When using Brod you comply with applicable third-party terms (for example, your data carrier's).
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
