Terms of Use

1. Who we are

BLEAUBLOC is operated by Bleau Limited ("BLEAUBLOC", "we", "us", "our"), a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17208711, registered office 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA.

You can reach us at info@bleaubloc.com.

2. These terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a contract between you and Bleau Limited governing your use of the BLEAUBLOC mobile application and the bleaubloc.com website (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will tell you in the app before it takes effect, and continued use after that date means you accept the updated Terms. The current version is always at https://www.bleaubloc.com/terms.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or guardian, who is responsible for your use of it.

You need an account to use most of the Service. You are responsible for keeping access to your email secure, because signing in works by a one-time code sent to your email address. Anyone with access to your inbox can access your account.

One account per person. Do not share your account or let anyone else use it.

4. The Service

BLEAUBLOC is a climbing logbook and training tool. It lets you record sessions, ascents, finger training, conditioning, nutrition and injuries, plan trips, and read insights derived from what you have logged. It also carries community-contributed content about climbing locations and problems, including topo photographs and drawn lines.

We may change, add or remove features. We may suspend or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part. We will give reasonable notice of a discontinuation where we can.

5. Bleausard subscription

Bleausard is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks additional features.

• Price: £3.99 per month (or the equivalent in your local currency as shown in the app).
• Term: one month, renewing automatically each month until cancelled.
• Billing: payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• Renewal: your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancelling: manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
• Refunds: purchases are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple under their terms, not by us. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases.

If we materially reduce what a Bleausard subscription includes, we will tell you before the change takes effect so you can cancel.

Free features remain free. We will not move an existing free feature behind the subscription without notice.

6. Your content

"Your Content" means anything you put into the Service: your username and profile photo, the sessions, ascents, training, nutrition and injury records you log, and any photographs, topo lines, locations, problems or other material you contribute.

6.1 You keep ownership

You keep all rights you already have in Your Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your photographs or anything else to us.

6.2 The licence you grant

When you upload a topo photograph, you confirm the following in the app. This is the exact wording shown to you at the point of upload, and it is recorded against each photo you upload together with the version of these Terms in force at the time:

I took this photo, or I have the right to share it. I grant BLEAUBLOC a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to display it in the app.

That statement is the licence grant. The rest of this section describes its limits; it does not extend it.

6.3 What the licence does and does not allow

The licence lets us store, reproduce, resize, re-encode and display your photograph within the Service, and show it to other users alongside the location or problem it belongs to.

The licence does not let us:

• sell your photograph, or licence it on to anyone else;
• use it in paid advertising without asking you first;
• claim authorship of it.

The licence ends when you delete the photograph. We may keep copies in routine backups for a short period afterwards, and we are not obliged to recall copies that other users have already downloaded or screenshotted.

6.4 Your warranty and indemnity

You warrant that, for everything you contribute:

• you either took the photograph yourself, or you hold the rights necessary to share it and grant the licence in section 6.2;
• where you have marked a photograph with a Creative Commons or public domain licence, that is accurate, and you have supplied the credit that licence requires;
• your content does not infringe anyone's copyright, trade mark, privacy or other rights;
• your content does not identify another person in a way they would object to.

You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, damage or reasonable cost we suffer because content you contributed breached that warranty. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own act or omission.

6.5 Community content

Locations, problems, grades and topo lines you contribute become part of the shared climbing database. Other climbers rely on them, and other contributors may correct or improve them. If you delete your account we keep this community content: it is factual information about places that exist in the world, and removing it would degrade the database for everyone. We remove your name from it. Section 6.2's photo licence is separate and still ends when you delete the photo.

7. Acceptable use

Do not:

• upload content you do not have the right to share;
• upload content that is abusive, harassing, hateful, sexual, threatening or otherwise objectionable;
• impersonate anyone, or choose a username or profile photo intended to deceive;
• harass, threaten or target another user;
• deliberately submit false locations, problems, grades or ascents, or manipulate leaderboards or circuit progression;
• scrape, bulk-download or republish the climbing database;
• attempt to access another user's account or data, probe our security, or work around access controls;
• upload a photograph that identifies someone who has not agreed to appear;
• use the Service for anything unlawful.

8. Moderation, reporting and blocking

Contributed photographs are reviewed before they become visible to everyone.

Reporting. Any user can report a photograph from within the app. A reported photograph is hidden from other users immediately, before any review. You do not have to wait for us to act before it stops being visible. The person who uploaded it continues to see it, so it does not vanish on them without explanation.

Blocking. You can block another user. Blocking hides that user's contributed content from you and hides your content from them.

Copyright notices, no account needed. If a photograph of yours is on BLEAUBLOC and you did not put it there, email info@bleaubloc.com. Tell us which photograph (a screenshot, or the crag and boulder name, is enough), that you hold the rights, and how to reach you. We will take it down and reply. You do not need a BLEAUBLOC account to do this.

Our action. We may remove content, and suspend or terminate an account, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached. Where we terminate an account we will tell you why, unless we are prevented from doing so by law.

9. Climbing safety: please read this

Climbing and bouldering are dangerous activities that can cause serious injury or death. You take part entirely at your own risk.

BLEAUBLOC is a logbook and a database. It is not a guidebook, a guide, an instructor, or a substitute for your own judgement.

• Location, access and route information is contributed by users and may be wrong, out of date, or incomplete. Grades may be wrong. Topo lines may be inaccurate. A landing may have changed. Access may have been withdrawn since a location was added.
• We do not check that any location is safe, legal to climb, or open to the public. Access arrangements change, and some places have seasonal restrictions or nesting bans. Checking is your responsibility.
• Always assess conditions, protection, landings and your own ability yourself, on the day. Never rely on information in this app in place of your own assessment.
• We are not responsible for injury, loss or damage arising from your climbing, from information in the app being wrong, or from your reliance on it. Nothing in this section limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence.

10. Training, nutrition and injury features: not medical advice

BLEAUBLOC's finger training, conditioning, nutrition, supplement and injury features are tools for recording and reviewing what you have done. They are not medical advice, physiotherapy, nutritional advice, diagnosis or treatment, and no doctor, physiotherapist or dietitian has reviewed what the app shows you.

• Insights, alerts, training-load figures and circuit progression are generated automatically from data you entered. They can be wrong, and they know nothing about you beyond what you have logged.
• Maximal finger loading is a common cause of climbing injury. Do not follow a training figure or a suggestion in this app in place of qualified advice.
• If you are injured, in pain, or have a health condition, consult a qualified professional. Do not use this app to diagnose or manage an injury.
• The nutrition features do not check that what you log is adequate, safe or appropriate for you. They do not detect disordered eating, and they are not suitable for managing a clinical condition.

Never disregard professional advice, or delay getting it, because of something you read in BLEAUBLOC.

11. Our content

The BLEAUBLOC app, its name, logo, design, insights engine and circuit system are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute it.

12. Availability, liability and warranties

Availability. We aim to keep the Service running but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It depends on services we do not control, and it can be unavailable for maintenance.

Your data. Keep your own record of anything you cannot afford to lose. While we take reasonable care and take backups, we do not guarantee against data loss.

Warranties. Except as these Terms state, the Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law we exclude all implied warranties.

Liability. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss arising from your reliance on information contributed by other users. Our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in that period and £50.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that these Terms do not affect, and nothing here limits them.

13. Ending your use

You may stop using the Service at any time, and delete your account from within the app (Profile → Delete account). Deleting your account erases your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. Cancel any Bleausard subscription separately through Apple. Deleting your account does not cancel it.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, or if we are required to by law.

Sections 6.4, 9, 10, 12 and 14 survive termination.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in, and may bring proceedings there.

15. General

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest continues in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours if the business is sold, without reducing your rights.
