Terms of Use

The deal,
in plain terms.

Last updated: 2026-08-13

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Skip Lab iPhone app and this website (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to them. If you don’t, please don’t use it.

1. What Skip Lab is

Skip Lab is a personal training tool that counts your skips and films your sets, running on your own iPhone. It is not a coach, not a medical device, and not a diagnostic tool. Its counts and measurements are estimates produced by software watching a camera: they will sometimes be wrong, and you should not rely on them for anything that matters beyond your own training.

2. Health and safety

Skipping is exercise, and exercise carries risk. You are responsible for training within your ability, on suitable ground, in suitable footwear, with space around you. If you have a medical condition or an injury, talk to a doctor before starting. Stop if something hurts.

Do not use the app in a way that takes your attention somewhere unsafe — setting your phone down to film means putting it somewhere it won’t fall, trip you, or get stepped on.

3. Your content

The footage you record and the training data the app derives from it are yours. They stay on your device — we don’t receive them, so we claim no rights over them and we cannot recover them for you if you lose them. Backing up your device is your responsibility.

If you film anyone other than yourself, that’s on you: get their agreement, and follow the law where you are about recording people.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to break the law, or to record people who haven’t agreed to be recorded.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
  • Interfere with the Service, or try to gain access to parts of it that aren’t meant for you.

5. Third-party services

The app checks a configuration record of ours at launch to see whether your version is still supported, and records anonymous usage analytics through PostHog. Our website uses Resend to send email to people who ask to hear about the release. What each of these does with data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its counts and measurements will be accurate.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and if you are a consumer you keep any rights your local law gives you that cannot be waived.

7. Changes

We may update the Service and these Terms. When we change these Terms materially, the date at the top of this page moves. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the publisher’s place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer-protection law gives you a right to a different forum that cannot be waived.

9. Apple-specific terms

This section applies to your use of the App on Apple devices and supplements the rest of these Terms. To the extent any provision of this section conflicts with another part of these Terms, this section controls.

Acknowledgement

These Terms are concluded between you and us, not with Apple. We — not Apple — are solely responsible for the App and the content thereof.

Scope of license

The license granted to you in these Terms is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

Maintenance and support

We are solely responsible for any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.

Warranty

We are solely responsible for any product warranties for the App, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.

Product claims

We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the App’s use of any frameworks or technologies provided by the operating system.

Intellectual property

In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual-property infringement claim.

Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Third-party terms

You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.

Developer name and address

The App is provided by Skip Lab. Any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to Skip Lab at hello@skiplab.app.

Third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.
