Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 17, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Chad or Soy ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Chad or Soy is a workout tracking and accountability app that allows users to:
- Track daily workout status ("Chad" or "Soy")
- Create and join workout groups with friends
- Share workout entries with group members
- React to other members' workout entries
- View leaderboards and statistics
- Receive optional email and push notifications based on your settings
3. User Accounts
To use Chad or Soy, you must:
- Sign in using a supported Apple or Google account
- Be at least 13 years of age
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your sign-in account and for all activities that occur under your account.
4. Communications and Notification Choices
By creating or using a Chad or Soy account, you consent to receive account and activity communications through the channels that are enabled in your notification settings. These communications may include group activity, workout reminders, and a weekly email summary of your activity and leaderboard statistics.
- Weekly Summary email is enabled by default for accounts with a verified email address. You may turn it off at any time in Settings → Notifications or through the preference and unsubscribe links included in each summary.
- Push notifications are delivered only when both your Chad or Soy preference and your device's notification permission allow them. You can change either setting at any time.
- Turning off a notification category withdraws your consent for future messages in that category. Processing may take a short period, and delivery is not guaranteed.
Creating an account does not authorize Chad or Soy to override your device settings or a notification preference you have disabled.

You retain ownership of any content you post to the Service, including workout entries, profile photos, and reactions ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant us a license to store, process, and display your content as necessary to provide the Service.
