4. User Content

You retain ownership of content you upload to the App but grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to store, display, reproduce, adapt, and distribute it within the App for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Services. We may moderate, remove, or edit content that violates these Terms or our policies.

6. Advertising & Promotions

The App may display promotions, advertisements, affiliate links, or sponsored content (collectively, "Promotions"). Such Promotions may be personalized based on your activity and settings. The presence of Promotions does not constitute our endorsement or recommendation of any product or service, and we are not responsible for third-party offers, claims, or transactions. Paid placements may influence the order or visibility of items shown.

The App may provide training tips, fitness suggestions, and race nutrition calculation estimates. These materials are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified professional before beginning any new fitness or health program.

Your use of the App is at your sole risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and are not liable for injuries, damages, data loss, or service interruptions arising from your use of the App.

The PacePal feature matches athletes based solely on self-reported training paces, distances, and other optional information. We do not verify the accuracy of this information, nor do we endorse, supervise, or take responsibility for any individuals with whom you may be matched.

19. Contact Information

If you have any questions about these Terms or the App, you may contact us at support@tzeroapp.com.

20. Dispute Resolution (Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver)

Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at the email above. If we cannot resolve it within 30 days, either party may initiate arbitration as set forth below.

Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App—including statutory and consumer protection claims—will be resolved exclusively by binding, individual arbitration administered by a reputable arbitration provider (e.g., AAA) under its applicable rules. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. The seat of arbitration will be Texas, and the language will be English.

Class-Action/Jury Waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You also waive the right to a jury trial.

Small Claims Court. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Texas (or your county of residence, if permitted) instead of arbitration.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to support@tzeroapp.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your account email. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.

21. Survival

Any sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination—including, but not limited to, Intellectual Property, Liability Disclaimer, Dispute Resolution, Use of Aggregate & De-Identified Data, and Governing Law—shall remain in effect after termination of your use of the App.

22. Third-Party Content & Affiliations

The App may display or link to content from third-party sources, including publicly available videos, articles, and other media. All such content remains the property of its respective owners. We do not claim ownership of third-party content and include it solely for informational, educational, or community engagement purposes. Unless explicitly stated, the inclusion of third-party content does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship between the App and the original content providers. Any official sponsors or advertisers featured within the App are disclosed separately.

23. User-Submitted Gear Content

The App allows users to upload triathlon gear to a shared public board as well as their personal "Gear Bag." All uploaded gear content must comply with these Terms and our Community Guidelines. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their submissions are accurate, lawful, and appropriate.

We reserve the right to review, curate, edit, or remove any gear submissions at our discretion in order to maintain a clean and consistent taxonomy of brands and products. By uploading gear, you grant us permission to display, moderate, and make non-substantive modifications to the content (such as correcting brand names or standardizing product details) for organizational purposes.

The presence of a gear item in the App does not indicate or imply any affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship between us and the product’s manufacturer or seller. Unless expressly stated, we are not officially associated with or responsible for the accuracy, quality, or availability of any products uploaded by users.
