Terms of Service

The service

Tarnished is a web and Android application for planning, logging and analyzing strength training, with nutrition tracking on the web. Paid features are available through the Base, Pro and Max plans, and each paid plan includes the features of the plan below it. New accounts may also receive a limited free trial, described below. Without a plan or trial, your account is read-only. The Android app is included with the Base, Pro and Max plans and is not part of the free trial.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for the activity on your account. Provide accurate account details, and do not share or resell access. Sign up with a permanent email address you control: temporary or disposable inboxes are not accepted, because account recovery and billing emails must be able to reach you. Privacy relays such as Hide My Email are fine.

You can cancel your subscription from Plan & billing at any time. You can delete your account from your profile menu; it is permanently deleted 7 days later unless you sign in and restore it before then.

Plans and billing

• Plans are billed in advance for the billing period you choose, in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and renew automatically until cancelled. Razorpay handles your card, bank and UPI details.
• Upgrades take effect immediately; you pay the difference for the rest of the current period.
• Moving to a lower plan is not offered as a change: cancel, and subscribe to the plan you want when your current period ends.
• You can cancel at any time from Plan & billing. Access continues to the end of the period you have paid for. You can instead end access immediately, which forfeits the rest of that period.
• Payments are not refunded, in whole or in part, for unused time.
• Deleting your account cancels any plan immediately, so nothing more is charged. The rest of the period you have paid for is forfeited and not refunded, and restoring the account does not bring the plan back.
• The AI training review on Max is limited to a monthly allowance of generations. Unused generations do not roll over.

Free trial

New accounts may receive one free trial per person when they verify their email. It includes every Max feature except the AI training review, needs no payment details and does not turn into a paid plan: when it ends, your account becomes read-only until you subscribe.

We may decline a trial where it appears one has already been used, for example by the same email inbox or device. This never affects buying a plan. How this is checked is described in the Privacy Policy.

Deleting your account and signing up again with the same email address does not give you a new trial.

Your data

You retain your rights in the training data you enter into Tarnished. A subscription controls which features you can use, not whether you can access or export your own data. How your data is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.

Training and health

Tarnished records and analyzes the training you log. Its analytics and AI training reviews are informational and are not medical advice. Train within your abilities, and consult a qualified professional before starting or changing a program, especially if you have an injury or a health condition.

AI training reviews are generated automatically from the data you logged and can be wrong or incomplete. Use your own judgement before acting on them.

Tarnished Lab patterns are associations in your own logs, not proof of what causes your progress, and an experiment’s verdict only compares your result with your own earlier trend. Any experiment target, including one Tarnished suggests, is your choice; it is not a medical, dietary or training prescription.

The ready-made programs and exercise guides are general guidance, not advice for you personally. Start with light weights, and stop an exercise if it causes pain.

Food values, calorie targets and energy estimates are approximations. Food values come from public nutrition data, product labels and our own recipes, can differ from what you actually eat, and some are marked as approximate. Targets are calculated from standard formulas and are not dietary or medical advice. Speak to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing how you eat, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have a medical condition or have a history of disordered eating.

Exercise tutorial videos

Tarnished uses YouTube API Services to show exercise tutorial videos. The videos are provided by YouTube through YouTube’s embedded player and are owned by their creators or other rights holders, not by Tarnished. Tarnished does not host, change or charge for them: they are free to watch on every plan, with or without a subscription.

By using Tarnished, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

• Google Privacy Policy

Other services

Payments run through Razorpay, AI training reviews are generated by OpenAI, and Sign in with Google is provided by Google. Their own terms and policies also apply when you use those features.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to access other people’s accounts or data, interfere with the service, bypass plan limits, or use automated means to send it excessive requests.

Suspension

We may suspend an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk. A suspended account cannot sign in or use the service. Data linked to a suspended account is kept according to the Privacy Policy and its retention periods.

If a suspended account has a paid subscription, it is cancelled at the end of the current billing period, so it is not charged again. The period already paid is not refunded, and reinstating the account does not restart the subscription.

If you think your account was suspended by mistake, email [email protected].

Tarnished content

Tarnished and its software, design, branding, written materials, ready-made programs and exercise guides, except third-party content identified as such, are owned by or licensed to Tarnished. You may use them as part of the service for your personal training, but may not copy, resell or redistribute them without permission. Tutorial videos are third-party content (see Exercise tutorial videos).

Availability and changes

The service is provided as is. We work to keep it available and your data safe, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue features of Tarnished from time to time.

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected on this page with a new date.
