• Do not share login credentials with others
• You are responsible for all activity under your account

Account Deletion and Termination:

• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms

4. FREE AND PREMIUM PLANS

Free:

• CataLift can be used for free, including workout logging, the exercise library, progress tracking and personal records, and social features
• Some features have usage limits on the free plan, as shown in the App

5. COMMUNICATIONS & NOTIFICATIONS

• We send account-related emails through our authentication provider, such as sign-up confirmation and password reset. We do not send marketing emails.
• If you allow notifications, the App sends push notifications such as workout reminders, PR highlights, challenge updates, friend activity and messages. You can control them in the App's notification settings or turn them off in your device settings.
• Tips, comeback reminders and CataLift announcements are sent only if you turn on "Tips & announcements" in the App's notification settings. They are off by default.

• Your store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period

• Price changes are handled by Apple or Google under their rules, which may include notice and, where required, your consent

• Content shared by other users (programs, comments, messages) is not reviewed by medical or fitness professionals; use it at your own risk (see the Medical Disclaimer)
