Terms of Service

Effective April 1, 2026 · Velox LLC, Herndon, Virginia

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the GearSense iOS application ("App") operated by Velox LLC ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using GearSense, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

    In plain English: GearSense gives you cycling performance data and AI coaching. It's a tool to help you ride better — not a substitute for your own judgment on the road. Ride safely and responsibly.
  

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the GearSense app, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age, have read and understood these Terms, and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

GearSense is a cycling performance app that uses GPS, Bluetooth sensors, and optional edge-computing hardware to provide real-time coaching, post-ride analysis, and ride data management. Features include:

Real-time speed, power, cadence, and heart rate monitoring
AI-powered Director Sportif coaching cues
Post-ride debrief with performance grades and recommendations
Optional integration with third-party platforms (Strava, RideWithGPS)
Optional sync to a local Hangar server or cloud backup

3. No Warranty on Coaching Advice

Important — Read Carefully: The coaching cues, recommendations, terrain predictions, and performance grades generated by GearSense are provided for informational and motivational purposes only. They are produced by automated algorithms and AI models and do not constitute professional athletic training advice, medical advice, or safety guidance.

We make no warranty, express or implied, that coaching advice provided by GearSense is accurate, appropriate for your fitness level, or suitable for your specific riding conditions. Always consult a qualified coach or physician before making significant changes to your training. Do not rely solely on GearSense output for training decisions.

4. Rider Assumes Full Responsibility for Safe Riding

Cycling on public roads, trails, and in traffic involves inherent risks including serious injury or death. By using GearSense, you explicitly acknowledge and accept all such risks.

You are solely responsible for obeying all traffic laws, road rules, and local regulations at all times.
You must keep your eyes on the road. Never look at your phone screen while riding in traffic.
GearSense coaching audio cues are delivered via earphones. Use them at a volume that still allows you to hear traffic and emergency signals.
Terrain predictions, climb alerts, and descent warnings are estimates based on GPS and sensor data. They may be inaccurate. Always ride at a speed appropriate to actual conditions.
GearSense auto-pause and crash-detection features are aids only and may not function correctly in all conditions.
You assume all risk of injury, property damage, or loss arising from your use of GearSense while riding.

5. Third-Party Integrations

GearSense integrates with Strava and RideWithGPS via OAuth. These are independent third-party services with their own terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of these services. Your use of them is subject to their respective terms.

6. Account and Data

GearSense does not require account creation. Your ride data is stored locally on your device by default. If you enable cloud backup or Hangar sync, you agree to our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and any connected accounts (e.g., Strava).

7. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

Use GearSense in any way that violates applicable law or regulation
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
Use the App to collect or harvest data about other users
Interfere with the App's servers or infrastructure
Use the App while operating a motor vehicle or in any other hazardous context

8. Intellectual Property

GearSense, including its name, logo, design, software, and all content, is owned by Velox LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Velox LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use GearSense, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes through an in-app notice. Your continued use of GearSense after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
