Terms of Service

The Short Version (Plain English)

This summary is here to be helpful. It is not a substitute for the full Terms below, which control if there is ever any conflict. In plain language:

• You can ride Ride Cave free, or unlock Cave Crew monthly, with a one-year Season Pass (a single payment, no auto-renew), or with a one-time lifetime purchase. Lifetime means access for as long as we operate the Service, not a guaranteed number of years. If we ever shut the Service down within one year of your lifetime purchase, we will refund you on a pro-rata basis.
• What is free today is not guaranteed to stay free. As Ride Cave evolves, we may move features between the free and paid tiers, including features that are free right now. If that happens, we never delete the content you already created, though your ability to use or edit some features may become limited to Cave Crew.
• Your data is yours. If your membership lapses or you move to a lower tier, we do not delete the content you created (your rides, plans, workouts, routes, tracks, and history); you simply lose access to the paid features until you rejoin, and you can export your workout data at any time.
• Lifetime covers the Cave Crew membership, including every sport it includes (today, cycling, rowing, and running), sports we add to it later, and the new features we add to it. Strength Training is free for everyone today; if any part of it ever becomes a Cave Crew feature, lifetime covers it too. Lifetime is not a credit for optional add-ons (such as cosmetic items, merchandise, a rider kit, or paid classes and content from independent instructors), and some future sports, programs, or standalone products may be offered separately.
• You can cancel a subscription anytime and keep access through the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime is a one-time payment with nothing to cancel.
• Train within your own limits. Targets, pacing, race bots, and AI suggestions are tools, not instructions: you decide how hard to go, and you can ease off or stop at any time. On a treadmill you control the belt speed; Ride Cave may change the incline on treadmills that support it.
• Strength training, especially with weights or jumps, carries a real risk of injury. The 3D athlete is a guide, not a perfect model of your form, suggested weights are estimates, and you choose every weight and rep. Clear your space, check your equipment, start light, and stop if something hurts. Under 18? Train with an adult nearby.
• If you host a Group Ride or event, you are responsible for it, including any outdoor or in-person meeting place you choose. Sharing an event to a partner service is optional (18 and older only), makes it public there, and can be turned off at any time; partners are separate services with their own terms.
• Like most apps, we include liability limits, an arbitration agreement (which you can opt out of), and health and safety disclaimers. Please read them.

1. Eligibility

1.1 Minimum Age

To use the Service, you must be at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent that you have obtained the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service and agree to these Terms. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. Some features, including coaching between users and sharing an event to a partner service, are available only to users 18 years of age or older.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a user under 18, by allowing them to use the Service you agree to these Terms on your own behalf as well as theirs, to the extent the law allows. Some exercises and suggested weights in Strength Training are limited for users under 18 (see Section 1.3).

1.2 Age Verification

Certain features of the Service require age verification. A date of birth on your profile is required to enable real-time riding with others (including presence sharing, shared roads, and in-ride communications) and to participate in Groups and voice communication. Free-text in-ride chat is available only to users 18 years of age or older, verified from your date of birth. A date of birth is also used to apply the junior safeguards in Strength Training described in Section 1.3, and we may ask for one before your first strength session. We use this information solely to verify eligibility, to apply age-appropriate privacy protections, and to apply those junior safeguards. You agree to provide your true and accurate date of birth when prompted; misrepresenting your age to circumvent these protections is a violation of these Terms.

1.3 Protections for Minors

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 are subject to additional protections. Minor users' profiles are automatically set to private and cannot be made public. This means that other users cannot view a minor's ride history, fitness statistics, custom workouts, or other profile information beyond their username and avatar. In addition, users under 18 (and users whose age we cannot verify) cannot send free-text messages in in-ride chat and are never shown free-text messages from other riders; they may use only the curated quick-messages we provide. These protections are enforced automatically on our servers and cannot be overridden.

Strength Training applies extra safeguards for users under 18, based on the date of birth on the account or, if you use the Service without an account, the answer to an age question stored on your device: suggested weights are kept moderate, the most technical lifts are left out automatically, and a reminder about adult supervision is shown. These safeguards reduce the risks of strength training but do not remove them, and they work only if the age given is true. A parent or legal guardian who allows a minor to use the Service is responsible for deciding whether strength training is right for that minor and for supervising it. We strongly recommend that users under 18 train with a knowledgeable adult present and get in-person instruction before lifting weights or doing jumps.

2. Description of Service

Ride Cave is an indoor training platform, for cycling, rowing, running, strength training, and other sports, that allows users to complete structured workouts and guided strength and bodyweight sessions, connect smart trainers, rowing machines, treadmills, footpods, and other fitness devices, track performance metrics, and synchronize activities with third-party fitness platforms. The Service includes features such as virtual courses, custom workout creation, leaderboards, public and private user profiles, social features, real-time riding with other users on shared roads, live group riding with voice communication, Group Rides, races, and other events hosted by users, Clubs, computer-controlled bots and pacers, AI-powered coaching, and integration with services like Strava, Intervals.icu, Garmin Connect, Wahoo, and other fitness platforms. References in these Terms to a "ride" or "rider" include a workout, session, row, run, or strength session in any sport the Service supports, and the person doing it, unless the context clearly means cycling only.

2.1 Groups and Voice Communication

The Service includes live group riding features that allow users to ride together in real time, share live performance data (such as power, heart rate, and cadence), and communicate via voice chat. Groups are temporary sessions that expire after a maximum duration or period of inactivity. Group creators ("hosts") have moderation authority, including the ability to mute or silence participants. Participation in groups requires age verification (minimum age 13).

2.2 Atlas AI Coach

The Service includes Atlas, an AI-powered training assistant that provides coaching suggestions, generates custom workouts, creates periodized training plans, analyzes recent training activity, and can convert images of workouts into structured sessions. Atlas is available to subscribers.

ATLAS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL COACHING, MEDICAL ADVICE, OR A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. Atlas provides general training suggestions for cycling, rowing, running, and other sports based on the information you provide and general sports science knowledge. Which Atlas features are available (for example, single workouts or full training plans) may differ from sport to sport. Atlas can also write strength sessions; Section 5.10 applies to any strength session Atlas writes. Atlas does not have access to your medical history, physical limitations, or individual health conditions. You should always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before beginning or modifying any exercise program. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated workouts and training plans are suggestions only and may not be suitable for your individual fitness level, health status, or goals.
• You are solely responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of any AI-generated content before following it.
• AI responses may contain errors, inaccuracies, or recommendations that are not optimal for your specific circumstances.
• Image-to-workout conversion may produce inaccurate results depending on image quality and format.
• We do not guarantee the effectiveness, safety, or suitability of any AI-generated training content.

2.3 Coaching Between Users

The Service lets one adult user (a "coach") help another adult user (an "athlete") with training, when the athlete agrees. A coach is another user of the Service. A coach is not Cave Works and is not our employee, agent, contractor, or partner. We do not select, vet, endorse, certify, supervise, or control coaches, and we do not verify any coach's qualifications, certifications, or fitness to advise. Any coaching relationship is strictly between the coach and the athlete.

Coaching is available only to users 18 years of age or older. Both the coach and the athlete must be adults, verified from the date of birth on each account.

A coaching relationship begins only when one party requests it and the other accepts. By accepting a coach, the athlete grants that coach access to their training data as described in our Privacy Policy, and agrees that accepting a coach makes the two of them mutual followers, which lets the coach see the athlete's profile and ride history even if the profile is private, subject to the athlete's own visibility settings. A coach on a paid plan may also make changes to the athlete's account, including editing training numbers (such as FTP and weight) and creating, editing, activating, deactivating, and deleting the athlete's training plans. Changes a coach makes take effect immediately and are treated as changes to the athlete's own account, and are recorded in an activity log visible to the athlete.

A coach may also be able to assign workouts, sessions, and training plans to the athlete in any sport the Service supports, including strength training. An assigned workout or session is the coach's suggestion, not an instruction from Cave Works. The athlete decides whether and how to do it, and can change, lighten, skip, or stop it at any time (see Sections 5.7 and 5.10).

Either party may end the coaching relationship at any time, which immediately ends the coach's access. Blocking the other party also ends it. An athlete may have only one active coach at a time.

If you act as a coach, you agree to:

• Use an athlete's data only to coach that athlete, and keep it confidential.
• Not copy, export, retain, publish, or share an athlete's data for any other purpose.
• Not make changes the athlete has not asked for or agreed to.
• Comply with all applicable laws.

Coaching does not transfer ownership of the athlete's data to you; your access is a limited permission the athlete can withdraw at any time.

A COACH IS ANOTHER USER, NOT CAVE WORKS. COACHING ADVICE, PLANS, AND ACCOUNT CHANGES PROVIDED BY A COACH ARE THE COACH'S OWN AND ARE NOT ADVICE FROM CAVE WORKS. COACHING IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. YOU RELY ON A COACH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We provide the tools that let a coach and an athlete connect and share data; we are not a party to, and are not responsible for, what they do with them. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cave Works is not liable for any act, omission, advice, edit, deletion, conduct, or communication of a coach or an athlete, or for any injury, loss, or harm arising from a coaching relationship. Disputes between a coach and an athlete are between those two users.

2.4 Public Profiles and Social Features

The Service allows users to create public profiles, follow other users, and discover other riders. When you enable a public profile, information you choose to share (including your username, avatar, fitness statistics, ride history, custom workouts, and track records) becomes visible to other users. You control which categories of information are visible through granular privacy settings. See our Privacy Policy for details on what information is shared.

2.5 Health and Fitness Analytics

The Service computes and displays derived health and fitness metrics from data collected by your connected sensors (such as heart rate monitors, power meters, rowing machines, treadmills, footpods, body temperature sensors, and breathing sensors). These metrics may include, but are not limited to:

• Heart rate variability (HRV) metrics such as RMSSD, SDNN, and pNN50, derived from beat-to-beat (RR) interval data transmitted by your heart rate monitor.
• Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) pattern detection, which uses a mathematical pattern-matching algorithm applied to RR interval sequences.
• Breathing and ventilation metrics such as breathing rate, minute ventilation, tidal volume, and breathing efficiency, derived from compatible breathing sensors.
• Cardiac drift and aerobic decoupling analysis, which compares power-to-heart-rate ratios over the duration of a session.
• Energy system analysis including training stress, strain decomposition, and anaerobic reserve (W'bal) tracking.
• Strength training load and calories. If you wear a heart rate monitor during a strength session, training load is estimated from your heart rate. Otherwise it is an estimate based on the sets you complete and how hard you rate each exercise. Calories for strength sessions are a rough estimate based on typical energy costs for the activity, not a measurement. Strength training load counts toward your fitness, fatigue, and form figures like any other session.

THESE ANALYTICS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE MEDICAL ADVICE, MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL EVALUATION.

The health and fitness metrics displayed by the Service are computed using general-purpose algorithms applied to consumer-grade sensor data. They are not validated for clinical use and should not be used to diagnose, treat, or monitor any medical condition. Specifically, you acknowledge that:

• PVC detection is a simplified pattern-matching algorithm, not a medical-grade cardiac arrhythmia diagnostic. It may produce false positives or miss actual arrhythmias. It is not a substitute for an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) or evaluation by a cardiologist.
• HRV metrics are derived from optical or chest-strap heart rate sensors, which have inherent limitations in accuracy compared to clinical-grade equipment. HRV values should not be used to assess cardiac health or diagnose cardiovascular conditions.
• Breathing and ventilation metrics depend on the accuracy of your breathing sensor hardware and may not reflect true physiological values. They should not be used to diagnose or monitor respiratory conditions.
• All analytics are subject to sensor noise, motion artifacts, connection dropouts, and algorithmic limitations that may produce inaccurate results.
• Strength training load and calorie figures are especially approximate. They can differ a lot from other apps and devices, and any chart, summary, or suggestion that uses them, including your fitness, fatigue, and form figures, carries the same uncertainty.
• If you have concerns about your heart rate, heart rhythm, breathing, or any other aspect of your health, you should consult a qualified healthcare provider. Do not delay seeking medical attention based on information provided by the Service.

2.6 Service Availability

The Service is offered on an "as-is" basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

2.7 Real-Time Riding With Others

The Service lets signed-in riders see and interact with each other in real time. Ride Cave is an indoor platform: positions shared by these features are your avatar's position along the virtual route you are riding, derived from the route's map geometry, not your physical location, which the Service never collects. If real-time riding is enabled (it is on by default and can be turned off at any time in settings), riders on the same virtual route can see your avatar's live position, speed, and lane during your ride, and your mutual follows can see that you are riding, which route you are on, your coarse progress, and your avatar's coarsened position on that route. You appear anonymously to riders who are not your mutual follows unless your profile is public. Live sessions include in-ride communications: curated quick-messages for all riders, and short free-text chat for verified adults (18+) only. Chat is filtered on our servers, delivered live, and not stored; we keep no chat logs. Sessions are limited in size, and we may adjust limits, throttle updates, or restrict or disable real-time features at any time to protect the Service and its users. Our Privacy Policy describes exactly what is shared, with whom, and for how long.

2.8 Control of Your Equipment

Some features send commands to equipment you connect. During workouts and routes, the Service may set the resistance or target power of a smart trainer, and on treadmills that support it, the Service may raise or lower the incline to match a workout. The Service never sets a treadmill's belt speed and never starts or stops the belt: you control the speed and when the belt runs. Shifting controllers you connect (including third-party controllers and apps) change the Service's virtual gears, which change your trainer's resistance.

Equipment may respond to a command later than expected, differently than expected, or not at all, for example because of its firmware, a weak or dropped connection, or a device we support only experimentally. We do not make, sell, or service your equipment and do not control how it carries out a command. You remain responsible for your equipment and its safety features at all times, including following the manufacturer's instructions, keeping a treadmill's safety key attached, staying able to stop the equipment yourself, and being ready for the incline or resistance to change during a session.

2.9 Bots, Pacers, and Races

The Service includes simulated riders and pacers ("bots"), such as bots on routes and race bots on virtual tracks, at difficulty levels you choose. Bots are computer-controlled and follow simplified models; their pace, tactics, and difficulty are approximations and may not match your fitness or the effort a level suggests. Bots, race formats, leaderboards, targets, and pacing cues are there to motivate you, not to tell you how hard you must go. In live Group Rides and Group Races, the other participants may be real users, whose effort, tactics, and conduct we do not control. Section 5.7 explains that you alone decide how hard to go.

2.10 Group Rides, Events, and Clubs

Users can host Group Rides, races, and other events, post them publicly or to Clubs, and RSVP to them. Hosts and Club organizers are users of the Service, not Cave Works. We do not organize, supervise, vet, or endorse user-hosted events, and a host is responsible for the event's content and for how it is run. Other users who can view an event may see who has RSVPed to it. Some events may take place outdoors or in person at a real-world place chosen by the host; Section 5.8 applies to those events.

2.11 Partner Listings and Integrations

The Service may let a host share a public Group Ride, race, or event they host to independent third-party services, such as public event calendars ("partners"; a listing there is a "partner listing"). Sharing is off unless the host turns it on for that event. This feature may be offered to some users before others, and only users 18 years of age or older can share an event to a partner. Our Privacy Policy describes what is sent to and received from partners. If you share an event:

• You are responsible for the event and for everything you share about it, which will become public on the partner's service. Share only what you have the right to share and are comfortable making public, and do not include personal information about anyone else.
• You authorize us to send the event, and its later changes, cancellations, and removal, to the partner on your behalf, and you authorize the partner to display it.
• Partners are independent third parties, not Cave Works, and are not our agents. Your use of a partner's service, and anyone else's, is governed by that partner's own terms and privacy policy. We do not control partners and are not responsible for their services or availability, for how or whether they display, update, or remove a listing, for their users, or for any event listed there, including events that do not come from Ride Cave.
• RSVP counts and links that a partner reports to us, and the Ride Cave counts we send to it, may be approximate, incomplete, or delayed. They are shown for convenience only, and an RSVP is not a promise by anyone to attend.
• When you stop sharing an event or delete it, we ask the partner to remove it, but we cannot control how quickly the partner removes it or whether copies made by the partner or its users are removed.
• We may add, change, suspend, or end any partner integration at any time, and a listing may then stop updating or be removed.

2.12 Strength Training

Strength Training, powered by Cave Motion™, offers guided strength, bodyweight, and mobility sessions, including warm-ups, cool-down stretches, jumps, and exercises using dumbbells, a kettlebell, a bench, a box or step, a pull-up bar, or no equipment. A 3D athlete demonstrates each exercise. An automated coach voice or tempo tones can call your sets, reps, weights, and rests, and the Service can suggest weights and change those suggestions based on how hard you rate each exercise. Sessions take place in virtual scenes based on real places around the world, some of which are named, including named velodromes; these are settings for indoor training only and do not suggest any connection with, or endorsement by, those places or their owners. Strength Training is currently free for all users; Section 3.1 explains that features may move between the free and paid tiers.

The coach voice is an automated audio feature. It is not a person, it cannot see you, and it is not a coach under Section 2.3. The recorded coach voices are AI-generated, and the app says so. Demonstrations are illustrative animations and may not show correct form for your body. Muscle diagrams are a guide, not an exact anatomy chart. Exercise descriptions and the notes on why an exercise helps your sport, including the research we cite, are general information. They are not anatomy instruction, medical advice, physical therapy, or a personal recommendation, and citing a study does not mean its authors or publishers endorse Ride Cave. Section 5.10 explains how to use demonstrations and suggested weights safely.

3. Subscriptions and Purchases

3.1 Free and Paid Tiers

Ride Cave offers a free tier and a paid membership called Cave Crew. The free tier includes core riding and training features, subject to certain usage limits. Cave Crew unlocks additional features, including adaptive Auto Train plans, ongoing Atlas AI coaching, the full Data Lab, and other optimization tools. We may add, change, remove, or move features between the free and paid tiers at any time, including features that were previously available at no cost or at a different tier. This means functionality that was available to you may be reduced, limited, or made available only to Cave Crew members. Moving or changing a feature does not delete content you have already created or saved (such as your plans, workouts, routes, and activity history), although your ability to create or edit that content may become limited to paid tiers.

3.2 Membership Options and Billing

Cave Crew is available as a recurring monthly subscription, as a Season Pass (a one-time payment for one year of access that does not automatically renew), or as a one-time lifetime purchase, in each case processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. Subscribers on a previously offered annual plan continue under their existing terms. By purchasing a recurring subscription, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. A Season Pass and a lifetime purchase are each a single, one-time charge; the lifetime purchase is described further in Section 3.4. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current.

3.3 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel a recurring subscription at any time through the subscription management portal. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to paid features through the end of your current billing period. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods. A Season Pass and a lifetime purchase are one-time payments with no recurring billing to cancel; a Season Pass provides access for one year and then expires. Except where a refund is required by applicable law, Season Pass and lifetime purchases are non-refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, please contact us at https://ridecave.com/contact.

3.4 Lifetime Access

"Lifetime" means access to Cave Crew for as long as Ride Cave continues to operate the Service. It is not a guarantee of access for any specific number of years and does not continue if the Service is discontinued. Lifetime access is tied to a single account, is personal to you, and is non-transferable; it may not be sold, shared, gifted, or reassigned. AI features (such as Atlas) and real-time features (such as group rides and voice) remain subject to reasonable fair-use limits so the Service stays sustainable for everyone, and we may adjust those limits with reasonable notice. If we permanently discontinue the Service or the Cave Crew offering, lifetime access ends; we will provide reasonable advance notice where practical.

If we permanently discontinue the Service or the Cave Crew offering within twelve (12) months after your lifetime purchase, we will provide a pro-rata refund of your lifetime purchase price based on the portion of that twelve-month period remaining at the time of discontinuation. In addition, if we transfer the Service to a successor, for example through a sale of the business, we will require the successor to agree to honor existing lifetime access on substantially equivalent terms as a condition of the transfer.

3.5 Promotional Offers

From time to time we may make promotional pricing, discounts, or other limited offers available, including on lifetime purchases. Any such offer is available only to eligible accounts as we determine, applies only for the period and up to any quantity stated with the offer, and is subject to the specific terms presented at that time. Eligibility is verified at the time of purchase. An offer that has expired or reached its stated limit is no longer available and cannot be claimed or applied retroactively. We may modify, suspend, or withdraw a promotional offer at any time before you complete a purchase. Promotional pricing applies only to the purchase made under that offer and does not carry over to renewals or future purchases unless we expressly state otherwise. Any sweepstakes, contests, giveaways, or prize-based challenges we run are governed by their own official rules made available at the time, which control for that promotion.

3.6 Price Changes

We may change the prices of our subscriptions and of future lifetime purchases. If we change pricing, we will provide reasonable advance notice. For recurring subscriptions, price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following the notice, and your continued use of paid features after that constitutes acceptance of the new price. A price change does not affect a lifetime purchase you have already completed; it applies only to purchases made after the change.

3.7 Add-Ons and Separate Purchases

Your Cave Crew membership, including lifetime access, covers the Cave Crew membership features only. It is not a credit toward, and does not include, separate or optional purchases we may offer from time to time, whether digital or physical. Examples include virtual goods, cosmetic or customization items (such as rider or kit customizations), consumable items, virtual currency, physical goods and merchandise, media, and tickets to or access for events. Any such items are sold separately, are subject to the terms presented at the time of purchase, and, except where required by law, are non-refundable and have no cash value. We may add, change, reprice, or discontinue these offerings at any time.

3.8 Scope of Membership

Lifetime access applies to the Cave Crew membership for the Ride Cave service, including every sport that membership includes (currently cycling, rowing, and running), any sports we later add to that membership, and the new features and improvements we add to it over time. Strength Training is currently free for all users; if we later make any part of it a Cave Crew feature, it is included in lifetime access like any other Cave Crew feature. Lifetime access does not automatically extend to add-ons or to separate or standalone products or services we may launch in the future that are outside the Cave Crew membership. Examples include a sport, program, or class offered as a separate add-on (such as paid sessions hosted by independent instructors), a separate application, or a materially different standalone offering. We may offer any such new product as a separate purchase or subscription with its own pricing and terms.

3.9 Advertising, Content, and Third-Party Fees

A Cave Crew membership, including lifetime access, does not guarantee an advertising-free, sponsorship-free, or marketing-free experience, and we may present advertisements, sponsored content, partner promotions, or marketing within the Service. It does not include or entitle you to separate content, media, community, or event offerings that we or third parties may make available, such as podcasts, newsletters, creator or membership communities, live or in-person events, or merchandise, which may carry their own access requirements or fees. It also does not cover any fees, subscriptions, hardware, or other charges imposed by third-party services, platforms, or integrations, which remain your responsibility under those third parties' own terms.

3.10 Suspension and Revocation

Access to the Service, including lifetime access, is a license to use the Service, not an ownership interest, and it may be suspended or revoked. We may suspend or permanently revoke your access, including lifetime access, without refund, if you violate these Terms (for example, through cheating, abuse, fraud, or other prohibited conduct), or if a payment for your membership is reversed, charged back, or found to be fraudulent. Where circumstances reasonably permit, we will give you notice and a chance to resolve the issue first, but we may act immediately when necessary to protect the Service or its users.

3.11 Taxes

Prices shown may not include applicable taxes, such as sales tax or value-added tax (VAT). You are responsible for any taxes associated with your purchases, which may be calculated and collected at the time of purchase.

3.12 Automatic Renewal and Cancellation

If you choose a recurring monthly subscription, it automatically renews at the end of each billing period until you cancel. At the start of each period, we, through our payment processor Stripe, charge your payment method the then-current price for that period plus any applicable taxes. By starting a recurring subscription, you authorize these automatic, recurring charges. We disclose the billing frequency and amount before you purchase, and, where required by law, we will send renewal or price-change reminders. You may cancel at any time through the subscription management portal; cancellation stops future renewals, takes effect at the end of your current paid period, and you keep access to paid features until then. A Season Pass and a one-time lifetime purchase do not automatically renew; a Season Pass simply expires at the end of its one-year term unless you choose to purchase again.

4. User Accounts

4.1 Account Registration

Certain features of the Service require you to create an account. When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4.2 Account Security

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

4.3 Guest Mode

We may require an account to use the Service or some of its features. Where we allow it, you may use certain features without creating an account ("Guest Mode"), and we may limit or end Guest Mode at any time. Data created in Guest Mode is stored locally on your device and is not backed up to our servers. You acknowledge that Guest Mode data may be permanently lost if you clear your browser data or switch devices. If you use the Service without an account, you are still bound by these Terms by using it.

5. Assumption of Risk

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

5.1 Physical Activity Risks

The Service is designed for indoor training, including cycling, rowing, running, and strength and bodyweight training, with or without fitness equipment. Physical exercise carries inherent risks, including but not limited to risk of injury, illness, disability, or death. You acknowledge that:

• You are voluntarily participating in physical activities using the Service and assume all risks associated with such activities.
• You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program, including using the Service or following any AI-generated training plans or workouts.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring that you are physically capable of participating in the activities facilitated by the Service.
• You are responsible for properly setting up, maintaining, and using your fitness equipment (including weights, benches, boxes, and pull-up bars) in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
• Different sports carry different risks. Rowing and SkiErg training, for example, place significant load on the back and shoulders, running places repeated impact load on the joints, and maximal efforts such as test pieces, time trials, and races can be extremely strenuous. Use proper technique, build intensity gradually, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or unusual discomfort.
• Treadmill running carries a risk of falls and injury from a moving belt. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, keep the safety key attached, start at a slow speed, and stop the belt before stepping off. Ride Cave may change the incline of a supported treadmill during a workout (see Section 2.8), and you are responsible for choosing a safe belt speed at all times, including when the incline changes.
• Strength training, especially with weights, carries its own risks, including muscle strains, sprains, tendon and joint injuries, back and neck injuries, hernias, and injuries from dropping a weight, losing your grip, or falling. Jumps and other plyometric exercises add impact on your feet, ankles, knees, and hips, and a risk of falling or striking a box or step. Swings, cleans, snatches, and other fast or overhead lifts move a weight quickly through a wide arc and need extra space, grip, and control. Hanging exercises such as pull-ups depend on a bar that can hold your weight.
• Talk to a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider before starting strength training, or before lifting heavier or adding jumps, if you are pregnant or have recently given birth, have a heart or blood pressure condition, have had a recent injury or surgery, have joint, back, or bone problems (such as osteoporosis), have a hernia, have diabetes, or take medication that affects your heart rate, blood pressure, or balance.
• You are responsible for your training space. Before you start, make sure you have enough clear room for the whole movement (including overhead and the full arc of a swing), a stable, dry, non-slip floor, and good lighting; that weights, collars, and adjustable dumbbells are secure and in good condition; that any bench, box, or step is stable and rated for your weight; and that any pull-up bar is installed and used according to its manufacturer's instructions and weight limit. Step down from a box rather than jumping down unless you have been taught otherwise. Keep children, pets, and other people out of the area where a weight could fall or swing, and protect your floor and nearby property.
• Place your screen where you can see it without taking your attention off the weight, and where a dropped weight, a swing, or a jump cannot reach it or its cable. Voice and tone cues follow a plan and may not match how a set is actually going. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear what is around you, and never rush or extend a rep to keep up with a cue.
• Lift only what you can control with good form for every rep. Training alone, especially with heavy weights or exercises where a weight passes over your face or body, carries extra risk because nobody is there to help; choose lighter weights or have someone nearby. Stop immediately if you feel sharp or unusual pain, chest pain, dizziness, faintness, numbness, or severe breathlessness, and get medical help if symptoms continue.
• The Service's 3D worlds, in every sport, include moving scenery, camera motion, and flashing or flickering lights and effects. A small number of people may have a seizure, or feel dizzy or sick, when they see certain lights, patterns, or motion on a screen, even with no history of it. If you or anyone in your family has epilepsy or has had a seizure, talk to a doctor before using the Service. If you feel dizzy, sick, or disoriented, or notice blurred vision, twitching, or any loss of awareness, stop exercising and look away from the screen right away, and get medical help if symptoms continue.

5.2 Data and Technology Risks

You acknowledge and assume all risks related to:

• The accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any data, metrics, or information provided by the Service, including power output, heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, ventilation, speed, pace, distance, and incline (including readings from treadmills and footpods, which can differ from each other and from the true value), and other fitness and health-related measurements and derived analytics.
• The accuracy of suggested weights, progressions, rest times, readiness advice, and training load and calorie estimates for strength sessions, and of the weights and units you enter.
• The accuracy, suitability, or safety of any AI-generated content, including workouts, training plans, analysis, and coaching suggestions provided by Atlas.
• The accuracy of any health-related analytics, including but not limited to HRV metrics, PVC pattern detection, breathing analysis, cardiac drift analysis, and energy system metrics. These analytics are derived from consumer-grade sensors using general-purpose algorithms and are not validated for clinical or diagnostic use.
• Compatibility issues between the Service and your fitness devices, including smart trainers, rowing machines, treadmills, footpods, heart rate monitors, power meters, and other sensors. Support for some devices is labeled experimental and may report incorrect data.
• Data loss due to technical failures, service interruptions, or discontinuation of the Service.
• Any decisions you make based on data or information provided by the Service, including AI-generated recommendations and computed health or fitness analytics.

5.3 Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services such as Strava, Intervals.icu, Garmin Connect, Wahoo, Discord, and other fitness, social, and event platforms (including partners under Section 2.11), and works with third-party hardware, firmware, and companion apps (such as trainers, treadmills, footpods, and shifting controllers). We may add or remove third-party integrations at any time. Your use of such third-party services is subject to their respective terms and conditions. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or functionality of any third-party services or for any actions taken by third-party service providers.

5.4 Group Riding and Voice Communication Risks

When participating in group sessions, your live performance data (power, heart rate, cadence) is shared in real time with other participants. Voice communication in groups is transmitted through a third-party service. You acknowledge that other participants may hear your voice and see your performance data during group sessions. You participate in group sessions voluntarily and at your own risk.

5.5 Nutrition and Fueling Guidance; Not Medical Advice

The Service may provide nutrition, fueling, and body-composition guidance, including estimated calorie, carbohydrate, and protein targets and in-workout fueling suggestions. This guidance is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is generated automatically from the data you provide and from general sports-science models. It is not medical, dietary, nutritional, or professional health advice, is not individualized to your medical history, and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other healthcare professional.

These estimates are approximations that may not be accurate for your body, health conditions, or circumstances, and they carry inherent uncertainty. You should consult an appropriate professional before making significant changes to your diet, training, or nutrition, particularly if you are pregnant, are a minor, have a history of disordered eating, or have any medical condition such as diabetes. While the Service includes conservative safety limits in some estimates, these do not guarantee that any recommendation is safe or appropriate for you.

You use this guidance at your own risk. If you experience symptoms of low energy availability, disordered eating, or any adverse health effect, stop and seek professional help.

5.6 Real-Time Riding Risks

When real-time riding is enabled, your avatar's live position on the virtual route and, for your mutual follows, your riding status and coarse route position are shared in real time as described in Section 2.7 and our Privacy Policy. These positions describe the virtual route, not your physical location; however, if you create or ride a route based on roads near places meaningful to you, the route itself may reflect real-world locations you have traveled or are interested in, and other riders may see which route you are riding. You further acknowledge that in-ride communications may expose you to messages from other users that we do not review before delivery, and that although free-text chat is limited to verified adults and filtered for profanity, no automated filter is perfect. You participate voluntarily and at your own risk, and you may at any time turn off real-time riding, turn off in-ride communications, or block another user.

5.7 Bots, Racing, and Pushing Your Limits

Racing, chasing a bot, holding a target, or following a pacer can encourage you to work harder than you otherwise would. You alone decide how hard to train, race, or compete, and whether to follow, chase, or race any bot, pacer, target, leaderboard, workout, AI suggestion, coach, or other user. Ease off or stop whenever you need to, whatever a bot, target, race, or other rider is doing, and stop immediately if you feel chest pain, faintness, severe breathlessness, or other warning signs.

SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.1, CAVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY BOT, PACER, RACE, TARGET, DIFFICULTY SETTING, OR OTHER FEATURE PUSHING YOU BEYOND YOUR LIMITS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF INJURY, ILLNESS, OR OTHER HARM ARISING FROM YOUR CHOICE OF EFFORT WHILE USING THESE FEATURES, INCLUDING IN RACES AND GROUP RIDES WITH OTHER USERS. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR OUR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.

5.8 Outdoor and In-Person Events

Some events posted on the Service or on a partner listing take place outdoors or in person, such as outdoor group rides with a meeting place chosen by the host. Cave Works does not organize, attend, supervise, insure, or inspect these events, their routes or meeting places, or their participants, and does not verify the identity, age, experience, or intentions of hosts or attendees. Outdoor and in-person activities carry risks beyond indoor training, including traffic, road, trail, and weather conditions, crashes, and meeting people you do not know. If you host or attend such an event, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk, and you are responsible for obeying the law, using appropriate safety equipment, and using your own judgment about whether to take part. Users under 18 should host or attend an in-person event only with the permission of a parent or guardian.

SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.1, CAVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OUTDOOR OR IN-PERSON EVENT, OR FOR THE CONDUCT OF ANY HOST OR PARTICIPANT, WHETHER THE EVENT IS LISTED ON THE SERVICE OR ON A PARTNER LISTING. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR OUR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.

5.9 eRoutes and Map Data Are for Indoor Training Only

eRoutes are virtual courses built from real-world map, elevation, and GPS data, including routes users upload or draw and OpenStreetMap data, for indoor training on a trainer, treadmill, or other stationary equipment. Do not use eRoutes, maps, Street View or other street-level imagery, turn directions, or any route data in the Service to plan, navigate, or ride, run, or travel outdoors. Route data may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and a route may include closed or private roads, heavy traffic, unsafe crossings, trails or terrain unsuitable for your activity, or places where cycling or running is not allowed. Routes made or shared by other users are not checked by us.

SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.1, CAVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OUTDOOR USE OF AN EROUTE, MAP, OR ROUTE DATA FROM THE SERVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THEM OUTDOORS ANYWAY, YOU DO SO ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR OUR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.

5.10 Demonstrations, Suggested Weights, and Form

Strength Training includes 3D demonstrations, exercise instructions and cues, suggested weights (including presets such as Light, Medium, and Heavy), warm-up and ramp-up sets, rest times, progressions, and suggestions to change a weight next time based on your effort ratings and readiness answers. All of these are general guidance produced automatically from simple rules and the information you give. They are estimates, not instructions, and they do not know your body, your injury history, your equipment, or your form. You acknowledge that:

• You choose every exercise, weight, and rep. You can pick a lighter weight, do fewer reps, rest longer, swap or skip an exercise, or stop at any time, whatever the app suggests or the coach voice calls.
• Before every set, you should check that the weight you are holding matches the weight shown, including whether it is in kilograms or pounds. If a suggestion looks wrong for you, ignore it.
• The readiness check is a quick prompt to help you choose a sensible session. It is not a medical screening, it cannot tell whether it is safe for you to exercise, and finishing it does not mean you are fit to train. If you are in pain, unwell, or injured, do not train until a qualified professional has told you it is safe.
• Demonstrations are animations performed by a 3D model. They are illustrative and simplified, and may not show the correct technique, range of motion, or setup for your body, your equipment, or your level. Exercises are not adapted for injuries, disabilities, or medical conditions.
• Strength Training is not a substitute for in-person instruction from a qualified coach, personal trainer, physiotherapist, or other professional who can watch you move. If you are new to strength training, new to an exercise (especially jumps, swings, cleans, snatches, or other technical lifts), or returning from injury, illness, surgery, or pregnancy, get in-person instruction first.
• Strength sessions written by Atlas, sessions a coach assigns to you or writes for you (see Section 2.3), sessions shared by other users, and sessions you build yourself carry the same risks, and you remain responsible for choosing what is right for you.

SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.1, CAVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICE OF EXERCISE, WEIGHT, REPETITIONS, OR EFFORT, OR FOR THE CONDITION OR SETUP OF YOUR EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING SPACE. YOU ASSUME THE INHERENT RISKS OF STRENGTH, BODYWEIGHT, AND PLYOMETRIC TRAINING, INCLUDING WHEN YOU FOLLOW A DEMONSTRATION, SUGGESTED WEIGHT, OR PROGRESSION FROM THE SERVICE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR OUR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.

6. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other user accounts, or any computer systems or networks connected to the Service.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the data contained therein.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute any viruses, malware, or other harmful code.
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or intimidate other users of the Service, whether through text, voice communication, or any other means.
• Impersonate any person or entity or falsely represent your affiliation with any person or entity.
• Use any automated means, including bots, scrapers, or crawlers, to access the Service without our express written permission.
• Manipulate leaderboards, records, or other competitive features through fraudulent means.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
• Use Atlas or any AI features to generate content that is harmful, illegal, abusive, or that violates any third party's rights.
• Attempt to circumvent age restrictions, subscription limits, or other access controls.

6.1 Fair Play and Anti-Cheating

Ride Cave provides competitive features including leaderboards, race results, track records, and challenge scores. To ensure a fair experience for all users, the following rules apply:

• You must not use any device, software, or method to artificially inflate or manipulate your power data, speed, pace, incline, cadence, stroke rate, split, distance, or any other performance metrics submitted to the Service, including by miscalibrating a treadmill, footpod, or other sensor on purpose.
• You must not exploit bugs, glitches, or unintended behavior in the Service to gain an unfair advantage in competitive features.
• You must not use modified firmware, unauthorized hardware configurations, or any form of data injection to submit fabricated or altered performance data.
• You must not share your account credentials with others to allow them to compete under your identity.

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that a user has engaged in cheating or unfair play, we reserve the right to take any or all of the following actions without prior notice:

• Remove, void, or revert any records, race results, challenge scores, or leaderboard entries achieved through cheating or unnatural circumstances.
• Delete or reset performance data associated with the user's account.
• Temporarily or permanently suspend the user's account.
• Permanently ban the user from the platform, including the creation of new accounts.

6.2 Group, Voice, and Real-Time Session Conduct

When using group features, voice communication, or real-time riding sessions, you additionally agree to:

• Treat all participants with respect and refrain from abusive, threatening, discriminatory, or harassing speech.
• Not transmit obscene, offensive, or inappropriate audio content.
• Comply with directions from group hosts, including muting requests.
• Not record or redistribute other participants' voice communications or performance data without their consent.
• Not disrupt group sessions through excessive noise, spam, or intentional interference.

6.3 In-Ride Chat and Quick-Messages

In-ride chat exists for brief, friendly communication between riders during a live session. Free-text chat is available only to verified adults; quick-messages are available to all riders. Messages are filtered on our servers, delivered live to riders in your session, and never stored. You should have no expectation that we retain chat content, and we generally cannot retrieve or produce past messages, because they do not exist after delivery.

When using in-ride chat or quick-messages, you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, demean, shame, or target any rider, or reference another rider's performance in a demeaning way.
• Impersonate any person, team, or Ride Cave itself.
• Spam, advertise, solicit, or attempt to move conversations off-platform for improper purposes.
• Ask other users for personal information, or share your own or anyone else's personal information (such as addresses or contact details).
• Attempt to defeat, bypass, or probe the profanity filter, the adult age gate, or any other chat safeguard.

We may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, restrict, suspend, or permanently remove your access to chat, quick-messages, presence, or any other real-time feature, independently of your account standing or membership tier, if we believe you have violated these Terms. Blocking a user removes the follow relationship in both directions and prevents them from seeing your presence.

7. User Content

7.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of any content you create or upload to the Service, including custom workouts, profile information, training notes, images submitted to Atlas, the Group Rides and events you post (including their titles, descriptions, and posters), and the tracks you design in the Track Builder (including their names, descriptions, locations, and pictures) ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service, including sending it to third-party services at your direction (for example, when you sync an activity or share an event on a partner listing under Section 2.11).

7.2 Public Content

If you choose to make User Content publicly available (such as enabling a public profile, sharing custom workouts, posting a public event, publishing a track, or posting leaderboard entries), you acknowledge that such content may be viewed, used, and shared by other users of the Service and, for an event you share on a partner listing, by that partner and its users. You can control the visibility of your profile and specific categories of content through your privacy settings.

7.3 Content Standards

You are solely responsible for your User Content, including any content communicated via voice chat in groups or via in-ride chat and quick-messages. You agree not to submit User Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate in our sole discretion.

7.4 Routes and User-Uploaded GPS Data

The Routes feature allows you to upload GPS route files (GPX, TCX, or FIT format) containing geographic coordinates, elevation data, and related metadata ("Route Content"). By uploading a Route Content file, you represent and warrant that:

• you recorded the GPS data yourself or obtained it from a source that authorizes redistribution; and
• uploading and sharing the Route Content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.

Routes are private by default. If you choose to make a route public, you acknowledge that its GPS coordinates and metadata will be visible to all Ride Cave users and may be cloned by other users for their personal use. You can return a public route to private or delete it at any time. Deleting a route permanently removes its GPS data from our systems. We reserve the right to remove public Route Content that violates these Terms. Route Content is for indoor training only; see Section 5.9.

7.5 Custom Tracks

The Track Builder lets you design a virtual velodrome: its shape, surfaces, venue, signs, and a real-world location you choose ("Track Content"). Saving and publishing tracks may require a paid membership or a minimum level in the Service, and we may limit how many tracks you keep.

• Private until you publish. A track you save is visible only to you (and to us, to operate the Service) until you publish it, except to the members of a private club where you host a Group Ride on it. A private track can be ridden in a Group Ride only in a private club. When you save, the Service takes a picture of your track from its 3D view and stores it with the track.
• Published tracks are public. When you publish a track, its name, description, location, picture, design, and your username become visible to everyone who uses the Service. Other users may ride it, race on it (including against bots and in live races), host Group Rides on it, set records and leaderboard entries on it, and copy its design (for example, through its track code) to make tracks of their own. Once a track is published, its shape, location, and deck can no longer be changed so that records on it stay fair; you can change its other details, return it to private, or delete it. Deleting a track also deletes the lap records set on it.
• Ride Cave tracks. We may feature a published track as one of Ride Cave's own tracks. A featured track passes to Ride Cave: from then on it is ours to maintain, you can no longer edit or delete it, it no longer counts toward your track limit, and it stays in the Service if you delete your account. The license in Section 7.1 covers this use. If you do not want a track featured, keep it private.
• Choose a public place. Pick a city, venue, or other public place as a track's location, never your home or another private address: a published track's location is public. Track names, descriptions, and signs must follow Section 7.3, must not impersonate a real venue, team, or brand in a misleading way, and must not use names or marks you have no right to use.
• Removal. We may return to private, edit, or remove any track that violates these Terms, in our sole discretion. Every track, including its location and the real-world scenery around it, is virtual and for indoor training only (Section 5.9).

7.6 Copyright Complaints and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may send a notice to our designated agent that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; (c) identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send copyright notices to our designated agent: Ben Snyder, Cave Works LLC, 4320 East Timberwood Dr., Traverse City, MI 49686-3836, by email at info@cave.work, or through https://ridecave.com/contact. If we remove material in response to a notice, the person who posted it may submit a counter-notice. We handle notices and counter-notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. Section 512, and we will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, features, functionality, graphics, logos, and all other content not submitted by users, is owned by Cave Works LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. "Ride Cave," "Atlas," "Cave Motion," and related logos are trademarks of Cave Works LLC. The Service's 3D athletes, models, animations, motion data, voice recordings, exercise instructions, and session content are part of the Service and are owned by or licensed to Cave Works LLC.

8.2 Limited License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not include the right to modify, copy, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service. You may not extract, copy, or reuse the Service's 3D models, animations, motion data, or audio outside the Service.

8.3 AI-Generated Content

Workouts, strength sessions, training plans, and other content generated by Atlas for your personal use may be used, modified, and shared by you. However, the underlying AI technology, prompts, and systems remain our intellectual property. You may not attempt to extract, reverse engineer, or replicate the AI models or systems powering Atlas.

Some features use AI-generated media. For example, the recorded Strength Training coach voices are AI-generated, and the app says so. An AI-generated voice is not a real person giving you personal advice.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

• Demonstrations, suggested weights, progressions, readiness advice, or training load and calorie estimates for strength training will be accurate, complete, or right for you, or that the research we cite is complete, current, or applies to you.

AI-POWERED FEATURES INCLUDING ATLAS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL COACHING, MEDICAL ADVICE, OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTATION WITH A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER OR CERTIFIED COACH.

STRENGTH TRAINING DEMONSTRATIONS, SUGGESTED WEIGHTS, AND EXERCISE INFORMATION ARE GENERAL GUIDANCE. THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION, PHYSICAL THERAPY, OR MEDICAL ADVICE.

HEALTH AND FITNESS ANALYTICS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV), PREMATURE VENTRICULAR CONTRACTION (PVC) DETECTION, BREATHING AND VENTILATION METRICS, CARDIAC DRIFT ANALYSIS, AND ENERGY SYSTEM METRICS) ARE COMPUTED USING GENERAL-PURPOSE ALGORITHMS APPLIED TO CONSUMER-GRADE SENSOR DATA. THEY ARE NOT MEDICAL DEVICES, NOT VALIDATED FOR CLINICAL USE, AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. DO NOT USE THESE ANALYTICS TO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL EVALUATION.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CAVE WORKS LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFICALLY APPLIES TO, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, OR HARM ARISING FROM FOLLOWING AI-GENERATED WORKOUTS OR TRAINING PLANS; (B) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM PARTICIPATION IN GROUP SESSIONS; (C) ANY CONTENT COMMUNICATED BY OTHER USERS VIA VOICE CHAT OR OTHER MEANS; (D) ANY INACCURACY IN DATA, METRICS, OR AI-GENERATED CONTENT; (E) ANY INJURY, HARM, OR ADVERSE OUTCOME ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON HEALTH AND FITNESS ANALYTICS, INCLUDING HEART RATE VARIABILITY METRICS, PVC DETECTION, BREATHING ANALYSIS, OR ANY OTHER DERIVED HEALTH METRICS PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE; (F) ANY INJURY, HARM, OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM COMMANDS THE SERVICE SENDS TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, OR FROM YOUR EQUIPMENT'S RESPONSE TO THEM; (G) ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, OR HARM ARISING FROM YOUR EFFORT IN RACES OR GROUP RIDES OR WHILE FOLLOWING BOTS, PACERS, OR TARGETS; (H) ANY OUTDOOR OR IN-PERSON EVENT AND THE CONDUCT OF ITS HOSTS OR PARTICIPANTS; (I) ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, HARDWARE, FIRMWARE, OR COMPANION APP, INCLUDING PARTNER LISTINGS; (J) ANY OUTDOOR USE OF ROUTE OR MAP DATA FROM THE SERVICE; AND (K) ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, OR HARM, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ARISING FROM PERFORMING EXERCISES DEMONSTRATED OR SUGGESTED BY THE SERVICE, FROM SUGGESTED WEIGHTS, REPETITIONS, OR PROGRESSIONS, OR FROM YOUR EQUIPMENT OR TRAINING SPACE.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. WHEREVER YOU LIVE, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER THE LAW THAT APPLIES TO YOU (IN SOME COUNTRIES, FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE).

10.1 Consumers Outside the United States

If you are a consumer living in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, the following applies to you instead of the dollar cap, the list of excluded damages above, and any statement elsewhere in these Terms that we are not responsible or liable for injury, illness, or harm (including in Sections 2.3, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, and 5.10). We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that was not foreseeable when you accepted these Terms, or for business losses. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of the country where you live. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including your rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, and the consumer protection laws of your Canadian province or territory.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cave Works LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:

• Your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.
• Your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Any User Content you submit, post, or transmit, including voice communications.
• Your conduct toward other users, including in group sessions, voice chat, and in-ride chat.
• Any Group Ride, race, or event you host, including its content, its place, how it is run, and any partner listing of it, and your advice and conduct as a coach, if you act as one.

This indemnity applies only to claims brought by third parties, and only to the extent the claim is caused by your own act or omission. It does not require you to compensate us for our own negligence or misconduct. If you are a consumer outside the United States, you are responsible under this section only to the extent your local law allows.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You agree not to settle any matter without our prior written consent.

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.

12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

12.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, you agree to first contact us at https://ridecave.com/contact to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of submission, either party may proceed to binding arbitration as set forth below.

12.2 Binding Arbitration

ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES.

This Section 12 applies only if you live in the United States. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any hearing will take place by video conference or telephone, or, if the arbitrator allows, on written submissions only. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in the county where you live or another place we both agree to. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules and fee schedule for consumer disputes, and we will pay any fees the AAA requires the business to pay. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND CAVE WORKS LLC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, except as provided for batches in Section 12.6.

12.4 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county where you live or in the county where Cave Works has its principal place of business, if the claim qualifies. Either party may also ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights or to prevent irreparable harm while an arbitration is pending.

12.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to us at https://ridecave.com/contact within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If we later update these Terms and you continue using the Service, that does not restart or waive an opt-out you have already submitted, and it does not create a new opt-out window unless we expressly say so.

The version of this Section 12 dated October 29, 2026 applies only to disputes that arise after you accept it; earlier disputes stay under the version you accepted before. If you accepted an earlier version of these Terms, you may opt out of this updated Section 12 by sending the notice above within thirty (30) days of accepting this version.

12.6 Mass Arbitration

If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against us, or by us, by or with the help of the same or coordinated lawyers or organizations within 90 days (a "Mass Filing"), the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and fee schedule will apply. The demands will be administered in batches of up to 100 claimants each, and each batch will be heard by one arbitrator, who will issue a separate award for each claimant. No award binds any claimant who is not part of that batch. Before any demand in a Mass Filing is filed, each claimant and we will take part in an informal conference, by phone or video, within 60 days of the written notice in Section 12.1. The claimant must attend personally, with a lawyer if they choose, so we can try to resolve the claim individually. Any statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadline is paused from the date the notice is sent until 30 days after the conference ends or, if we do not schedule it in time, until the 60 days run out. If a court decides this section cannot be enforced as to a Mass Filing, those claims will proceed in court on an individual basis, and the class action waiver in Section 12.3 will still apply.

12.7 Users Outside the United States

If you live outside the United States, Sections 12.2 through 12.6 do not apply to you. You may bring a claim in the courts of the country, province, or state where you live, and you keep any right your local law gives you to use an alternative dispute resolution or online dispute resolution service.

13. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state courts for the county where Cave Works has its principal place of business or the federal court for the district that includes that county, and the parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and venue therein. If you are a consumer living outside the United States, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

14. Termination

14.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at https://ridecave.com/contact. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. If you have an active paid subscription, cancellation of your account does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the remaining subscription period.

14.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, violation of these Terms, abusive conduct in groups, voice chat, or in-ride chat, cheating, or extended periods of inactivity.

14.3 Effect of Termination

Terminating your account is different from letting a paid membership lapse or moving to a lower tier. As described in Section 3.1, a lapse or downgrade does not delete the content you have created (such as your rides, plans, workouts, routes, and history); you keep it and simply lose access to paid features. If your account itself is terminated or you request its deletion, your license to use the Service terminates and we may delete your account and its associated data, subject to the retention practices and export options described in our Privacy Policy. The following sections shall survive termination: the disclaimers and allocations of responsibility in Section 2, User Content (Section 7) as to content already shared, Assumption of Risk, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution and Arbitration, Governing Law, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.

15. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service with a new "Last Updated" date. For material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we may also notify you via email or an in-app notification. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Cave Works LLC concerning the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.

16.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

16.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.

16.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

16.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to these Terms.

16.6 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

16.7 International Users and Local Consumer Rights

We operate the Service from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with your local laws. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country or state of residence, and to the extent any provision here conflicts with those non-waivable rights, those rights prevail for you. Where your local law gives you a statutory right to cancel or withdraw from a purchase of digital content or services, you agree that by choosing to access paid features immediately after purchase you request that we begin providing them right away, and, where permitted by that law, you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal may be lost once we have begun.
