Terms of Use — VELOCT

Last updated: May 2026 · Applies to iOS & Android

The short version

VELOCT is a running companion — not a doctor, coach, or navigator. Watch the road, not the screen. Don't run, train, or race beyond your fitness or medical advice. AI plans, pace predictions, and form scores are estimates. GPS, BLE heart-rate, and weather can fail — never rely on them in safety-critical situations.

01 / Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using VELOCT, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app. These terms apply to all versions of VELOCT on iOS and Android, including future updates or new features.

02 / About VELOCT

VELOCT is a running companion app developed by Core Tattva, based in Sydney, Australia. The app provides GPS run tracking, on-device AI coaching, running form analysis via pose detection, structured training plans, voice coaching, heart-rate monitor pairing, watch companion support, route intelligence, race pacing, mental coaching, run history, and detailed analytics. No account is required and the app is designed to work fully offline.

03 / No Account Required

VELOCT does not require an account, login, or sign-up. All your runs, plans, and data stay on your device.

04 / Pricing & Purchases

VELOCT is currently free to use, with no ads. If we introduce optional paid features or in-app purchases in the future, pricing and billing terms will be clearly disclosed in the App Store or Google Play before any charge. All payments are processed by Apple or Google; Core Tattva never receives your card or bank details.

05 / Health & Fitness Disclaimer

VELOCT is a tool — not professional health advice. Training plans, pace predictions, form scores, recovery scores, AI coach output, mental-coach prompts, menstrual-cycle phase guidance, race-pacing strategies, and shoe-mileage recommendations are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, sports physician, physiotherapist, registered dietitian, or certified running coach. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new training programme, particularly if you have a cardiovascular condition, injury, are pregnant, or are under 18. Stop immediately and seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, dizziness, severe shortness of breath, or any concerning symptoms.

06 / Outdoor Safety & Road Awareness

Your attention belongs on the road and on your surroundings — not on your phone. You are solely responsible for choosing safe routes, obeying traffic laws, complying with local regulations, watching for vehicles, dogs, terrain, weather, and visibility, and adjusting effort to your environment. Voice coaching and screen content can distract; use earpieces, volume, and visibility settings that keep you aware. Core Tattva is not liable for accidents, injuries, falls, traffic incidents, or any consequence of using the app while running, cycling, or moving.

07 / GPS Accuracy

GPS distance, pace, route, and elevation depend on your device, antenna placement, satellite visibility, weather, building density, tree cover, tunnels, and operating-system power-management. Auto-pause, cheat detection, and treadmill mode use heuristics that may misclassify edge cases. Use VELOCT data as a personal training reference — not as a certified measurement for competitions, age-group rankings, or insurance.

08 / Heart-Rate Monitors (BLE)

VELOCT can pair with standard Bluetooth Low Energy heart-rate sensors (UUID 0x180D) from Polar, Wahoo, Garmin, COROS, Magene, Suunto, and similar brands. Pairing and data quality depend on your monitor, battery, contact, and Bluetooth stack. Heart-rate alerts and zone-based coaching are heuristics — they do not replace medical heart monitoring. If a reading looks wrong, trust how you feel and stop training if necessary.

09 / Health Integrations

If you grant VELOCT access to Apple HealthKit, Health Connect, or Google Fit, the integration reads and writes only the data needed for run tracking and recovery context. Health data is processed on-device. Core Tattva does not transmit, sell, or share your health data with any third party. You can revoke access at any time in your device settings.

10 / Form Lab & Pose Analysis

Form Lab uses on-device pose detection (33 landmarks) to estimate gait and form metrics from video you capture. Form scores are heuristic estimates — they are not a clinical gait assessment. Video and pose data are processed entirely on-device and are never transmitted.

11 / AI Coaching

AI-generated training plans, post-run analyses, weekly recaps, bad-run reframes, journal prompts, and pace predictions use rule-based logic and, optionally, an on-device LLM downloaded from a public source. Outputs are suggestions, not prescriptions. Treat AI plans as starting points and adjust based on your body, your experience, and the advice of qualified coaches or clinicians.

12 / On-Device LLM Models

If you choose to download an LLM model for advanced AI features, the file is fetched from Hugging Face (or a similar public source) and verified by SHA-256. By using this feature you agree to the licence terms of the model you download (which may include Llama, Gemma, or similar open licences). Core Tattva is not the author, licensor, or warrantor of those models and is not responsible for their outputs.

13 / Optional Network Calls

VELOCT is offline-first. The two optional outbound calls are: (a) weather forecasts from Open-Meteo, sent with coarse location only; and (b) model downloads as described above. Both can be disabled. No run data, no health data, and no personal identifiers are ever transmitted.

14 / Race Pacing & Predictions

Predicted finish times, split bias, elevation and heat adjustments, and Speedcast pace targets are statistical estimates. They are not a guarantee of performance. Race day is shaped by weather, course conditions, hydration, sleep, and many other factors outside the app.

15 / Permitted Use

You may use VELOCT for your own personal, non-commercial training and self-improvement. You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app; (b) reproduce, resell, or redistribute the training plans, coaching content, analytics, or interface; (c) use the app to submit fabricated runs to third-party leaderboards or competitions; or (d) use the app in any way that violates applicable laws.

16 / Your Data

All runs, plans, GPS routes, BLE pairings, journal entries, check-ins, and exports are stored locally on your device. You can export GPX, TCX, or JSON backups at any time and you should — uninstalling the app permanently deletes everything. Core Tattva has no copy and cannot restore it.

17 / Intellectual Property

All content within VELOCT — the interface, training plans, coaching prompts, analytics algorithms, pace prediction models, form-scoring heuristics, voice coaching scripts, widgets, and branding — is owned by Core Tattva or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes.

18 / Disclaimer of Warranties

VELOCT is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Core Tattva makes no warranties, express or implied, that the app, GPS tracking, BLE pairing, weather data, AI outputs, pose detection, or analytics will be error-free, uninterrupted, accurate, secure, or suitable for any particular purpose.

19 / Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Core Tattva and its developers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app — including injury, illness, loss of run data, missed PRs, missed races, equipment damage, or any other losses. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months preceding the claim.

20 / Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of VELOCT shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

21 / Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version here with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
