Summary

We want you to have a great experience with Whistle, but here are the key things you should know before using the app:

• Whistle is not medical advice. It helps you plan workouts and improve your fitness, but it’s not a replacement for a doctor. Always talk to a healthcare professional if you’re unsure about your health.

• You’re responsible for how you use the app. Make sure the info you enter is accurate and that you stay safe during workouts. Whistle doesn’t guarantee results or prevent injuries.

• Whistle may offer services as part of paid subscriptions. Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period. You can cancel your subscription anytime via the App Store.

• Use it fairly. Don’t misuse or tamper with the app. We can suspend access if needed to protect the service or other users.

If you’d like the full details, keep reading.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Whistle, a mobile application operated by Vogelhaus Apps GmbH (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing or using the Whistle app (the “App”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must discontinue use of the App immediately.

Purpose of the App

Whistle is designed to provide personalized fitness insights and workout planning based on information you provide and data obtained from Apple HealthKit. Our aim is to support your personal health and fitness journey, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

Whistle is not a medical device, healthcare provider, or a substitute for professional medical advice. You should always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before starting or modifying any fitness or wellness program.

In case of a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately.

User Responsibilities

By using the App, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information within the app.

• Use Whistle only for lawful and intended purposes.

• Refrain from any behavior that disrupts the functionality of the app or affects other users.

• Keep your device and iCloud secure and protect access to your personal data.

• Accept full responsibility for your own health and safety while following any recommendations from the App.

Health Disclaimer

Whistle uses algorithms to generate suggestions and insights based on your health and activity data. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of these recommendations for your individual health circumstances.

You acknowledge that:

• Whistle does not provide medical advice or replace professional healthcare consultation.

• Any decision you make based on information from the App is at your own risk.

• We are not liable for any injury, illness, or damages resulting from your reliance on the App or its content.

This includes, without limitation:

• Injuries sustained while performing suggested workouts.

• Health complications arising from following recommendations.

• Misinterpretation of data or guidance within the App.

Subscriptions

Whistle is available through the Apple App Store and may offer additional services and features as part of paid subscriptions. The rates for these services are listed in the Application and on the App Store. We reserve the right to modify these rates at any time and/or to offer special promotions.

Free Trial

Whistle may offer a free trial period for subscriptions during which you can use all features of the Application at no charge. We reserve the right to change the duration of this trial at any time or to discontinue it. We also reserve the right to offer special promotions.

Automatic Renewal

To ensure uninterrupted service, all Whistle subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your account settings on the App Store.

Cancellation

You can discontinue your subscription at any time through the App Store. However, you won't receive a refund for any unused portion of your subscription. You also remain responsible for paying all charges for services provided up to the date you discontinue your subscription.

Canceling your subscription will deactivate your access to the paid features of Whistle.

Payments

Apple handles and controls all payments related to subscriptions. These will be charged to your iTunes Account at the purchase confirmation. The sale is final, and we can't provide a refund. Your purchase will also be subject to Apple's applicable payment policy, which might not allow for refunds. We can't issue refunds, nor send invoices, as Apple exclusively handles these functions. If the App fails to conform to any warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligations. You can confidentially access your account balance information through the App Store. If you have a billing dispute, you should contact the App Store directly. More information is available in Apple's Terms and Conditions.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vogelhaus Apps GmbH shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:

• Your use or inability to use the App;

• Any unauthorized access to or use of our servers or data;

• Any interruption or cessation of the App or related services;

• Any bugs, viruses, or harmful code transmitted through the App;

• Any errors or omissions in any content, or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content made available via the App.

We may also enforce reasonable limits on the use of certain features, such as token limits for AI coaching, to ensure system integrity, fairness among users, and cost sustainability. These limits are designed to maintain consistent performance and may be adjusted at our discretion.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our features, legal requirements, or business practices. Your continued use of the App after any changes means you accept the updated Terms.

We recommend reviewing these Terms periodically to stay informed.

Eligibility

Whistle is intended for individuals aged 16 and older. By using the App, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under 16, you may not use the App. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to U.S. embargo nor listed on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, misused the App, or posed a risk to its stability or security.

Because Whistle does not require an account, termination will result in your loss of access to the App’s features on your device. You may also delete the App at any time to stop using it.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Austria. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the App will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Austria, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection laws.

The Apple EULA’s mandatory minimum terms—​including Apple’s third-party-beneficiary rights, the scope of the non-transferable licence, and the warranty-refund remedy—​are hereby incorporated by reference. If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory provision of the Apple EULA, the relevant Apple EULA term will govern.  

Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision under these Terms does not waive that right or provision.

These Terms are provided in English. If we offer translations, the English version will prevail in case of conflict.
