Terms of service

Last updated: September 25, 2026

These terms (the “Terms”) govern the use of the Simple WOD Timer app on iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS and TV (the “App”), the simplewodtimer.com website and the video sharing pages (together, the “Service”), published by VD SOFTWARE, a French SAS with a share capital of €1,000, 200 rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris, Paris Trade and Companies Register 101 626 349 (“we”).

By downloading, installing or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service. The processing of your data is described in the Privacy Policy.

This English version is provided for convenience. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence.

1. The Service

Simple WOD Timer is a workout timer: timer formats (Custom, AMRAP, For Time, EMOM, Death By, Ratio, Tabata, Stopwatch, Qualification), WOD import from a photo, video recording with the clock burned in, history, and Premium features by subscription.

The Service is provided for personal use. You may use it for your own workouts and to display a timer during a session you lead. Reselling, redistributing, renting or commercially exploiting the App itself is prohibited.

We keep improving the Service: we may add, change or remove features, in particular for technical, security or platform (Apple, Google) reasons. We try not to remove a paid feature during a subscription period in progress.

2. Health and safety

The App is a timing tool. It does not provide medical, fitness or nutritional advice and does not replace a healthcare professional or a coach.

Intense physical training carries a risk of injury and accident, including serious ones. Before starting or intensifying a training program, consult a physician, especially if you have a health condition or an injury, are pregnant, or have not trained for a long time. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, faintness, dizziness or abnormal shortness of breath.

You alone are responsible for choosing your exercises, their intensity, your technique, your equipment, your training environment and the safety of people around you, including when filming. WODs, loads and formats shown in the App (including those you scan or the App suggests) are only data you choose to time.

The timer may be interrupted or delayed by your device (battery, sleep mode, notifications, system restrictions). Do not use it where absolute accuracy or someone's safety depends on it.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for injuries, bodily harm or property damage related to your training or your use of the App.

3. Qualification videos

The App records one continuous take with the clock, the logo and the device time burned into the image. It does not certify a performance and does not guarantee that a video will be accepted by any competition, judge or organizer. Each competition sets its own rules (movement standards, equipment, framing, format, deadlines): it is your responsibility to know and follow them.

The timestamp relies on your device's clock. We guarantee neither its accuracy nor that a recording will not be interrupted (call, battery, storage space, system restriction).

Always keep a copy of your videos: do not rely on the Service as your only backup.

4. Account

The App works without an account: an anonymous identifier is created automatically. A Google or Apple account is required for some features, including uploading videos to the cloud.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country (15 in France), you need your parents' consent to create an account and upload videos.

You are responsible for access to your device and to your Google or Apple account, and for any use made through them.

5. Shared videos and content

You remain the owner of your videos and content (sessions, WOD text, names).

To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, for as long as the content is hosted, to store, reproduce, convert (thumbnails, formats) and display your videos to people who have their link. This license ends when you delete the video or your account, subject to temporary technical copies.

A video link can be opened by anyone who has it, without an account, and the video can then be watched, downloaded and forwarded. Share it only with people you choose; we do not control what recipients do with it.

By uploading a video, you warrant:

  • that you created it or have the right to share it;
  • that every identifiable person appearing in it has consented (with parental consent for a minor), and that you have the right to film the place;
  • that it infringes no third-party right, including image rights, privacy, copyright (including music playing during the recording) or trademarks.

You may not publish or share through the Service any content that is:

  • pornographic, sexual or involving nudity;
  • violent, hateful, discriminatory, harassing, defamatory or threatening;
  • depicting a minor inappropriately;
  • encouraging dangerous or illegal behavior or self-harm;
  • infringing, or disclosing another person's personal data without consent;
  • unsolicited advertising, misleading, or containing malware;
  • or more generally unlawful or unrelated to training.

You alone are responsible for the content you upload and share, and you will indemnify us against any third-party claim arising from it (see section 10).

6. Reporting and removal

We do not monitor content in advance. Anyone can report a video from its page (“Report this video”) or at contact@simplewodtimer.com.

We may, without notice, disable a link, delete a video, restrict or terminate a user's access to the Service in case of unlawful content or content contrary to these Terms, a well-founded report, abuse, fraud or a request from an authority. Where required by law, we will inform you of the measure and its reasons, and you can contest it by replying to that message; we will review your request.

We may keep and disclose to authorities the information required by law.

7. Free videos and limits

Each account gets 2 free cloud videos. They are counted once the upload completes and are not credited back if you delete a video or your account. The same person can benefit from them only once: creating a new account does not reset them.

To protect the Service, we may apply reasonable limits (file size, number or volume of videos, upload frequency), including to subscribers.

8. Premium subscription

Some features are reserved for Premium subscribers. The subscription is offered monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase, in your currency and including taxes. Prices shown on the website are indicative.

Purchase, payment, renewal and cancellation are handled by Apple or Google, under their own terms, which apply in addition to these Terms.

  • Automatic renewal: the subscription renews automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account.
  • Cancellation: at any time, in your App Store or Google Play account settings. It takes effect at the end of the period already paid; no partial period is refunded. Deleting the App or your data does not cancel the subscription.
  • Free trial: when offered, the trial lasts 7 days, once per account. Unless cancelled before it ends, the paid subscription starts automatically.
  • Refunds: handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We cannot directly refund a purchase made through their stores.
  • Price changes: we may change the subscription price; Apple or Google will notify you in advance under their rules, and you can cancel before it applies.
  • Restore: your subscription is linked to your account; “Restore purchases” recovers it on a new device.

When the subscription ends, free features remain available. Premium features are disabled: customization returns to the default look (your settings are kept), past history and saved timers become inaccessible without being deleted, watch apps are locked, and links to non-free videos are disabled (the videos are kept and you can still download them). Resubscribing reactivates these features and links.

Right of withdrawal (European Union): the subscription gives immediate access to digital content and a digital service. By subscribing, you request immediate performance and acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, you lose your right of withdrawal once access has begun. For purchases made on the App Store or Google Play, those stores' withdrawal and refund rules apply.

9. Availability and warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We strive to keep it accessible and reliable, without guaranteeing that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device, or that synced data or videos will never be lost. Interruptions may occur for maintenance, updates or reasons beyond our control (hosting providers, app stores, networks).

Nothing in these Terms excludes the statutory warranties you have as a consumer, including the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services.

For users outside the European Union, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

10. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

  • we are not liable for indirect damages (loss of data, chance, athletic result, qualification or opportunity, reputational harm);
  • we are not liable for content published by users, or for what recipients do with shared links;
  • we are not liable for third-party services (Apple, Google, hosting providers, networks) or their failures;
  • our total liability, for all damages combined, is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or €50 (or US$50) if you use the Service for free.

These limits do not apply in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, bodily injury caused by our fault, or where the law prohibits them, in particular regarding mandatory consumer rights.

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or the law, or from the content you published.

11. Intellectual property

The App, the website and their elements (code, interfaces, logos, sounds, text) are protected and remain our property or that of our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and Apple's or Google's rules.

You may not copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or attempt to extract the App's code, bypass its protections or subscription verification, access the Service by automated means, or disrupt its operation.

12. Ending use

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your data from Settings → Delete my data. Remember to cancel your subscription separately.

We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, and stop providing all or part of the Service with reasonable notice, except in an emergency or where required by law. If the Service shuts down permanently, we will notify you in advance so you can retrieve your videos.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms, in particular to reflect changes to the Service or the law. The update date is shown at the top of the page. For significant changes, we will inform you in the App before they take effect; continuing to use the Service afterwards means you accept them. If you do not, you can stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law, without depriving you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

If you have a problem, write to us first at contact@simplewodtimer.com: we will look for an amicable solution. If you are a consumer in the European Union and the dispute is not resolved, you can use, free of charge, the consumer mediator we are registered with: CM2C (Centre de la Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de Justice), 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France, phone +33 1 89 47 00 14, litiges@cm2c.net. You can file your claim online at https://www.cm2c.net/declarer-un-litige.php, after contacting us and no later than one year after your written complaint to us.

Failing agreement, the dispute falls under the competent courts: for a consumer, those provided by law (in particular those of their place of residence); otherwise, the courts of the publisher's registered office.

15. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the others remain in force. Failure to exercise a right does not waive it. We may assign these Terms to an acquirer of the business; your consumer rights are not affected.

Apple: these Terms are concluded between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any claims relating to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
