2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Tap In. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Services. By using Tap In, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

4. Description of the Services and General Disclaimer

Tap In is an app designed to support Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and gyms by providing:

-Gym and class information
-Training logs, notes, and goals tracking
-Tools to organize and view training activity
-User-submitted gym reviews and ratings

Tap In is not a gym, training facility, coaching service, medical provider, or safety authority. We do not supervise or monitor training sessions, gym environments, instructor qualifications, or the safety of any physical activity.

All gym listings, schedules, reviews, and related information are provided for informational and organizational purposes only and may not always be accurate or up to date.

5. Use of Geo-Location for Training Insights

To provide accurate training insights and attendance information to users and gyms, Tap In may use your device's geo-location data to detect when you are present at a participating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym. By using the Services, you consent to this use of location data for:

-Identifying visits to BJJ gyms
-Verifying training sessions and frequency
-Generating training and attendance metrics for you
-Providing aggregated or de-identified analytics to gyms

Tap In will not share your precise location with any gym other than your designated home gym and will not share your location with third parties for unrelated marketing or sales purposes. Any location-based insights provided to gyms are aggregated, de-identified, or restricted to your home gym, unless otherwise authorized by you.

You may disable location services at any time in your device settings, but doing so may limit or disable certain features of the Services.

6. Payments and Subscriptions

6.1 Tap In Pro

Tap In is free to download and use. Gym owners may purchase Tap In Pro, an optional subscription that unlocks additional tools for their academy. Tap In Pro is offered on a monthly or yearly basis at the price shown at the time of purchase.

6.2 Purchases through the App Store or Google Play

If you purchase Tap In Pro in our iOS or Android app, the purchase is processed by Apple or Google (the "App Store"), not by Tap In:

- Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase.
- Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID or Google account settings. Deleting the app or your Tap In account does not cancel it.
- Refund requests are handled by the App Store under its own policies. Tap In cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases.
- If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of it ends when you purchase a subscription.

6.3 Purchases on our website

If you purchase Tap In Pro on our website, payment is processed by our payment processor, Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your subscription settings in the app or on our website; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you keep access to Tap In Pro until then. If a payment fails, we may suspend Tap In Pro features until payment is made.

6.4 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. Any change applies from your next renewal, and we or the App Store will notify you in advance as required by law or App Store rules.

6.5 Payments to gyms

Tap In lets gyms collect payments from their members, such as memberships, class packs, drop-ins and event fees. These payments are made to the gym through Stripe. The gym, not Tap In, sets the prices, terms and refund policy for its services and is responsible for providing them. Questions about a charge or a refund request for a gym payment should go to the gym first. By paying a gym through Tap In, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service.

6.6 Refunds

Except as stated above or where required by law, payments to Tap In are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial subscription periods.

6.7 Taxes

Prices may not include applicable taxes, which may be added at checkout.

7. User Content and Gym Reviews

You may submit content to Tap In, including gym reviews, ratings, comments, photos, and other materials ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by submitting it, you grant Tap In a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, and perform that content in connection with operating and improving the Services.

You agree that your User Content will:

-Be truthful and based on your actual experiences
-Not be defamatory, hateful, harassing, or otherwise unlawful
-Not infringe any third party's intellectual property or privacy rights

Tap In may, but is not obligated to, review, remove, or limit access to any User Content at our sole discretion.
