Terms of Service

Article 1. Purpose

These Terms govern the use of SPODA services provided by SPODA LAB (represented by Seelbi Choi; the “Company”), the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Company and members, and other necessary matters.

Article 2. Definitions

1. “SPODA” stands for Sport Performance Optimization & Data Analytics and means the platform that integrates, standardizes and analyzes training data to support individual and team training management.

2. A “member” is a person who accepts these Terms and enters into a service agreement with the Company.

3. A “team” is a unit that members join to share and manage training information. “Coaches and administrators” are members authorized within that team.

4. An “integrated service” is an external service, such as Polar, Garmin or Suunto, that exchanges data with the user's authorization.

5. “Member data” means records provided or connected by members and the individual analyses and reports generated from them.

Article 3. Publication and Amendments

① The Company posts these Terms where they are easily accessible through the service or website. Amendments may be made within the limits of applicable law.

② Changes, reasons and effective dates are announced at least 7 days in advance. Unfavorable or important changes are announced at least 30 days in advance, with individual notice such as email.

③ Members who disagree with changes may terminate the agreement. Matters requiring individual consent are separately consented to; mere non-response is not treated as consent to all changes.

Article 4. Other Applicable Rules

Matters not covered here follow applicable law, the Privacy Policy and individual service terms lawfully notified and agreed. Individual terms that unfairly restrict statutory rights do not apply.

Article 5. Formation of the Agreement

The agreement is formed when a user accepts these Terms, applies and is approved by the Company. Approval may be refused or further information requested for legitimate reasons such as identity misuse, false applications or security risks. Use by children under 14 follows the Privacy Policy and legal-representative consent procedures. Contracts requiring a minor's legal-representative consent follow applicable law.

Article 6. Member Information and Account Management

Members must provide accurate information, update changes and protect their credentials. Notify the Company of known account misuse or disclosure. The Company may request identity verification necessary for security without demanding excessive personal data.

Article 7. Services

Services include training record entry, uploads and integrations; data integration and standardization; training volume, intensity, heart-rate zones and changes over time; individual and team reports; and related management features. Availability depends on member type and features actually provided and is explained within the service.

Article 8. External Service Integrations

① Members authorize external integrations through the provider and may disconnect them. The Company processes data within authorization and API agreements. Disconnection, deletion of existing records and account withdrawal are handled distinctly under the Privacy Policy.

② Available data and synchronization timing may vary with provider approval, device support, API policies, limits and outages. New integrations are offered after approval and development are complete.

③ Members must connect external accounts they are authorized to use. The Company does not require unauthorized access or collection that bypasses authorization.

④ An integration does not imply a provider's endorsement, sponsorship or a separate official business partnership. Trademarks and integration references follow the rights holder's policies.

Article 9. Coaches and Team Services

① Members join teams through the notified procedures and review their roles and sharing scope. Coaches and administrators may access and manage only authorized athletes and information.

② Coaches and teams must not access, download, reshare or use data for research beyond authorized purposes. They must not override athletes' individual consent or rights or compel unnecessary disclosure.

③ The Company adjusts permissions when members leave teams, change roles or withdraw sharing. Downloaded files must also be managed within authorized purposes and retention periods.

④ If the sole coach or administrator withdraws, the Company guides permission transfer or team closure. This procedure must not unfairly restrict personal data rights.

Article 10. Company Obligations

The Company takes necessary measures for reliable service, data protection, legitimate inquiries and rights requests, and incident response. It protects member rights under law and these Terms and manages service provider and developer access.

Article 11. Member Obligations

Members must not engage in the following:

1. Misusing another person's data or account, making false applications or uploading unauthorized records

2. Unauthorized system access, malware distribution, excessive requests or other interference with operations

3. Automated collection, copying or resale beyond permitted scope, or external disclosure of others' personal data

4. Infringement of other members' rights, reputation or intellectual property

5. Other violations of applicable law or legitimate service conditions

Article 12. Data and Intellectual Property

① Rights in member data follow applicable law and the original rights relationships. The Company may store, transform, analyze and display data only as necessary to provide and maintain services and perform authorized features.

② Rights in service components, including software, design and trademarks, belong to the Company or rightful owners. Members receive the agreed right to use the service.

③ These Terms do not transfer ownership of personal data, grant perpetual use or constitute consent to post-withdrawal research or AI training. Personal data processing and external data use follow separate policies, consent and API agreements.

Article 13. Use of Analysis Results

Analyses and reports are reference information to support training decisions. Measurement and synchronization errors, omissions and individual differences may occur; consider the athlete's actual condition and professional judgment. The service does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment or guarantee performance or health outcomes. This provision does not exclude legal liability for the Company's intent or negligence.

Article 14. Changes and Suspension

The Company may change or temporarily suspend services for necessary reasons such as maintenance, outages, security risks or external API changes. Reasons and schedules are notified beforehand where possible and afterwards in emergencies. Service closure is generally announced 30 days in advance with guidance on data access, export and personal data handling.

Article 15. Restrictions and Appeals

The Company may impose restrictions proportionate to legal or Terms violations and explain the reason, scope and appeal procedure. Urgent security or rights-protection action may be taken first. Members may contact support@spodalab.com to submit an appeal.

Article 16. Withdrawal and Termination

Members may request account withdrawal through the service or customer support. The Company processes requests without delay after necessary identity verification. Termination by the Company for a serious violation follows necessary notice and opportunity to respond. Personal data and integration tokens after withdrawal or termination follow the Privacy Policy.

Article 17. Paid Services

If paid features are introduced, prices, payment, automatic renewal, termination, refunds and cancellation terms are separately explained before purchase and required consent is obtained. These Terms alone do not constitute consent to payment or automatic renewal. Statutory consumer rights remain protected.

Article 18. Damages and Liability

The Company or member bears liability under applicable law for damage attributable to that party. Liability involving force majeure, external service outages or member breaches depends on the specific fault and applicable law; the Company's liability is not waived as a whole.

Article 19. Notices and Dispute Resolution

Important matters may be notified to registered email addresses or through the service. Disputes are addressed through good-faith discussion and governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Court jurisdiction follows the Civil Procedure Act and other applicable law.
