(1) These Terms of Use govern the use of the "Based!" app and its server services (together "Based!"). The provider is Time Horizon Digital, owned by Karl Kuhne, Tieckstr. 11, 01099 Dresden, Germany ("we").
(2) The contract of use is concluded when you create an account in the app and agree to these Terms of Use. We store which version you agreed to and when. You can view, save and print the current version at any time at basedworkouts.com/terms.
(3) You buy Based Pro in Apple's App Store (Section 6). Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement additionally applies to your use of the app. Where these Terms of Use differ from it, these Terms of Use take precedence.
(4) These Terms of Use are available in German and English. The version in the language in which you agreed to them is authoritative.
(1) Based! lets you plan and log your training: routines, training plans, custom exercises (including photos), workout logs with sets, reps and weights, and notes. Based! also keeps your weight history (without consent on your device only) and shows your BMI.
(2) Based! also works offline. Whenever an internet connection is available, we synchronize your data with our server and back it up there.
(3) You can add other users as friends, share routines with them or edit them together, and publish routines for everyone. Section 7 explains who sees what.
(4) You can use Based! for free. Based Pro unlocks additional features (Section 6); we show you which ones in the app before you buy.
(5) Based! supports your training. We do not promise any particular training result.
For the duration of your contract of use, you may use Based! for private, non-commercial purposes. This right is non-exclusive and non-transferable. You may not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer or decompile the app, except where the law expressly permits it.
All rights in the app, in particular in its code, design, our content and the "Based!" brand, remain with us, except where these Terms of Use expressly grant you rights. Section 7 applies to content you create yourself.
(1) To create an account you need an email address, a password and a display name. Your display name does not have to be your real name; you can use Based! under a pseudonym.
(2) Keep your password secret. If you notice that someone else is using your account, please let us know immediately.
(3) You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you are not yet of legal age, you need the consent of your parents or legal guardian for the account and for purchases.
(1) Based Pro is available as a subscription and as a one-time "Lifetime" purchase. We show you prices, terms and the included features in the app before you buy.
(2) You complete the purchase in the App Store. The seller and your contractual partner for the purchase is Apple Distribution International Ltd., Ireland. Payment, renewal, cancellation, withdrawal and refunds are governed by Apple's terms. We do not see any payment data and cannot issue refunds ourselves; you request refunds from Apple.
(3) Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them. You can cancel in the subscription settings of your Apple account; deadlines and refunds are governed by Apple's terms.
(4) Whether and how you can withdraw from a purchase is governed by the law and Apple's terms; Apple informs you about this when you buy. Your statutory rights, in particular in the event of defects, remain unaffected.
(5) The following applies to the one-time "Lifetime" purchase:
(1) Your content remains yours. Content is everything you create or upload in Based!: routines, plans, custom exercises and their photos, notes and workout logs.
(2) As a rule, only you can see your content. Others only see something in these cases:
(3) So that we can provide the features you use, you grant us a simple, free-of-charge and non-transferable right to store, synchronize, back up and technically adapt your content (for example image sizes) and to display it as described in paragraph 2. Service providers working on our behalf may do so for us. We do not use your content for advertising, sell it to third parties or use it to train AI models.
(4) This right ends when you delete a piece of content or your account, or withdraw a share. Copies that other users have taken over before remain.
(5) Only upload content for which you hold the necessary rights, and do not show other people in photos without their permission. Not allowed are unlawful content, insults, hate and harassment, content that infringes the rights of others, and advertising and spam.
(6) You are free to choose your display name. Not allowed are names that impersonate another person or brand, offensive, discriminatory or obscene names, and contact details or advertising in the name.
(1) If you consider content or display names in Based! to be unlawful or a violation of Section 7, you can report them to us by email to info@basedworkouts.com, even without an account. Please state which content you mean (for example the name of the routine and of the user), why it is unlawful or violates our rules, your name and email address, and that your information is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. We confirm receipt and inform you of our decision.
(2) We review reports ourselves, carefully, objectively and promptly. We do not use automated decision-making for this.
(3) Depending on the severity, we respond step by step: a warning, removal of content, resetting the display name, temporary restriction of sharing and publishing, temporary suspension of the account, or termination for good cause (Section 13).
(4) We inform you of every measure with a statement of reasons: what we did and for how long, which facts and which rule or law we rely on, whether a report prompted it, and how you can challenge it. Before suspending your account, we give you the opportunity to respond, unless immediate action is necessary; in that case we give you that opportunity without delay afterwards. If you respond, we review the decision again. You may also go to court or lodge a complaint with the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur).
(5) If we become aware of content indicating a criminal offence that threatens the life or safety of persons, we inform the competent authorities.
Based! is a training tool, not a medical service. It does not replace advice from a physician, physiotherapist or trainer and does not check whether an exercise, a weight or a training volume is suitable for you. Statistics and the BMI are rough guides, not a diagnosis.
Get medical advice before you start or significantly increase your training, especially if you have cardiovascular or other pre-existing conditions, injuries or pain, are pregnant, or are returning after a long break. Train with good technique, only use loads you can safely control, secure heavy sets (for example with a spotter or safety bars), and stop immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or chest pain.
We do not review the content of routines that other users share or publish. Section 15 governs our liability.
(1) You can log workouts and use plans, notes and your weight history without an internet connection. Synchronization, backups, friends, sharing and published routines require our server and an internet connection; you bear the costs of your connection.
(2) We operate the server with customary care, schedule maintenance outside common training times where possible, and fix disruptions within the usual scope.
(3) We provide feature and security updates and point out important updates in the app. If you do not install an update within a reasonable time, we are not liable for defects resulting solely from that.
(4) Your statutory rights in the event of defects remain unaffected.
(1) We keep developing Based!. We only make changes that go beyond what is needed to keep Based! working as agreed for a valid reason – for example to adapt to new operating systems, devices or Apple requirements, to fix security risks, to implement legal or regulatory requirements, or to prevent misuse. Such changes cause you no additional costs, and we inform you about them clearly and comprehensibly.
(2) If such a change impairs your access to Based! or its usability more than only insignificantly, we inform you by email at least 30 days in advance about the content and timing of the change. You may then terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days of our notice or of the change; your other statutory rights remain unaffected.
(1) We may discontinue Based!. We will announce this at least twelve months in advance by email and in the app. From that announcement on, we will no longer sell "Lifetime".
(2) Until our server is shut down, you can export all your data (Section 14).
(3) If you bought "Lifetime", we will provide a final update through the App Store when we discontinue Based!, with which Based! works without our server and the Pro features that do not need a server remain permanently unlocked. Your data then remains usable on your device. Features that need our server – synchronization, backups, friends, sharing and published routines – end when it is shut down. This does not include a refund of the purchase price; your statutory rights remain unaffected.
(4) Running subscriptions end at the latest when the server is shut down. For paid periods after the shutdown, we refund you the pro-rata price.
(1) You can end the contract of use at any time by deleting your account in the app under Profile → My Profile → Delete account, or by writing to us. This does not end an Apple subscription; cancel it in the subscription settings of your Apple account. Deleting your account ends your access to Based Pro in that account.
(2) We may terminate the free contract of use with two months' notice if you have no running subscription and no "Lifetime" purchase. We can end a subscription at the earliest at the end of the paid period. Sections 6 and 12 apply to "Lifetime".
(3) Both parties may terminate without notice for good cause. For us, good cause exists in particular in the event of serious violations of Section 7 or violations repeated despite a warning, attacks on our systems or on other users (for example circumventing protective measures or automated mass queries), and fraud. Before doing so, we proceed in accordance with Section 8 paragraph 4.
(4) If we terminate for good cause for which you are not responsible, your statutory claims remain unaffected.
(5) After the contract ends, you can no longer use your account. If we end the contract, you can still request an export of your data for 30 days afterwards (Section 14).
You can request a free copy of your workout logs, routines, custom exercises, notes and weight history in a common, machine-readable format (JSON or CSV) at any time. To do so, write to info@basedworkouts.com from your account's email address; we will send you the export within one month.
(1) We are liable without limitation
(2) If we breach an essential contractual obligation through slight negligence, we are only liable for the damage typical for the contract that was foreseeable when the contract was concluded. Essential obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely; for Based! these are, above all, providing the agreed features and carefully storing, backing up and synchronizing your training data.
(3) Otherwise, we are not liable for slight negligence.
(4) These rules also apply to the personal liability of our representatives and agents.
(1) If we want to change these Terms of Use, we will inform you about the new version and the changes by email or in the app at least six weeks before they are planned to take effect. The new version only applies to you once you expressly agree to it.
(2) If you do not agree, the previous version continues to apply to you. We may then terminate the free contract of use in accordance with Section 13 paragraph 2; a running subscription continues until the end of the paid period, and "Lifetime" remains unchanged.
(3) We will merely notify you of corrections that do not affect your rights and obligations, such as typos or contact details.
German law applies. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of that country's law.
You can reach us with questions, terminations and reports by email at info@basedworkouts.com. This address is also our single point of contact for users and authorities under the Digital Services Act (Art. 11 and 12 DSA). We communicate in German and English.
