Terms of Service

Last updated: July 25, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Dylan Yip-Chuck ("Risers", "we", "us") governing your use of the risers.fit website and the Risers mobile app (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. Who can use Risers

You must be at least 16 years old to use Risers. By using the Service you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you give us is accurate.

2. Your account

You're responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure. You agree to give accurate information, to keep it current, and to let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account.

You can sign up with an email and password, with Google, or as a guest. If you use a guest account, some features may be limited until you register.

3. What Risers is

Risers lets you share daily commitments and real proof with a small, invite-only inner circle of people you trust. Your circle sees your plans, proof, reactions, and comments. Risers is a motivational and social tool — it is not a source of medical, health, fitness, nutrition, or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified professional. Always use your own judgment and consult a professional before making health or fitness decisions.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, videos, captions, notes, comments, and other content you create ("Your Content"). By posting Your Content, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display it solely to operate and provide the Service to you and the circle you've shared it with. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for content others have already re-shared within their permitted use and for reasonable backup copies that are cleared in the ordinary course.

You promise that Your Content is yours to share, that you have any necessary rights and permissions (including from anyone who appears in it), and that it doesn't break these Terms or the law.

5. Acceptable use

To keep Risers a place people can trust, you agree not to:

  • post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, defamatory, sexually explicit, or that exploits or endangers anyone, especially minors;
  • bully, abuse, impersonate, or invade the privacy of others;
  • share content you don't have the right to share, or that infringes anyone's intellectual property;
  • spam, scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Service, or try to access data that isn't yours;
  • use the Service for any illegal purpose or to circumvent its safety features.

6. Objectionable content and abusive users

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. Every user agrees to the acceptable-use rules above, and we enforce them.

Within the app you can report any content or user and block any user so their content and interactions disappear from your experience. We review reports and will remove offending content and remove or ban the users responsible, typically within 24 hours of becoming aware of a valid report. We may act on violations at our discretion, with or without notice, to protect our community.

To report content or a user, use the in-app report tools, or contact us at hello@risers.fit.

7. Risers Pro and referrals

Some features may be offered through Risers Pro.

At launch, Pro time can be earned through our referral program: when a friend joins Risers using your personal invite link, you earn free months of Risers Pro (up to the limit stated in the app). Referral rewards have no cash value, can't be transferred or redeemed for money, and we may modify, limit, or end the program at any time, including to prevent abuse.

Paid subscriptions are not offered as of the effective date of these Terms. When we introduce them, they will be billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, will renew automatically unless cancelled, and additional subscription terms (including auto-renewal, pricing, and cancellation) will be presented at purchase and added here.

8. Intellectual property

The Service itself — the app, website, branding, and everything we create — belongs to us and our licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service under these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as allowed here.

9. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property and expect you to do the same. If you believe content on Risers infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at hello@risers.fit that includes: (a) your signature (electronic is fine); (b) identification of the work you say is infringed; (c) identification of the infringing content, with enough detail for us to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

When we receive a valid notice, we will remove the content and notify the user who posted it, who may submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was a mistake. We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

Designated agent: Dylan Yip-Chuck, Tzschimmerstraße 15, 01309 Dresden, Germany, hello@risers.fit.

10. Termination

You can stop using Risers and delete your account at any time from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as content licenses already granted to others, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

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 don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any content shared by users is accurate or reliable. As noted above, Risers is not medical, health, or fitness advice.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Risers and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. To the extent we are found liable, our total liability will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or CAD $100. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Risers and its team from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada. Nothing here removes any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of your home country.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.

16. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any earlier agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights, except that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries as described in the Apple App Store section. Section headings are for convenience only.

17. Apple App Store — additional terms

These terms apply if you download Risers from the Apple App Store:

  • These Terms are between you and Dylan Yip-Chuck only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
  • Your license to use Risers is limited to use on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Any questions go to us at hello@risers.fit.
  • To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the app, and any warranty claims will be our responsibility.
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or consumer-protection claims, or third-party claims that the app infringes intellectual-property rights.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
  • You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.
