These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Povver mobile application and related services (the "Service") operated by BVA Technologies Oy (trading as Povver) ("Povver," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company registered in Finland (Business ID: 3629043-3).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Povver is a paid strength training application that provides workout tracking, AI-powered coaching, automated training analysis, program generation, and optional access to your data from external AI tools and scripts. The Service is available on iOS.
2. Health and Safety
This section is important. Please read it carefully.
Povver is a fitness tracking and coaching tool. It is not a medical device, medical service, or healthcare provider. The AI-generated coaching, workout recommendations, and training analysis provided by the Service are for informational and general fitness guidance purposes only.
- Not medical advice. Nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AI-generated recommendations are based on your workout data and general fitness principles — they do not account for medical conditions, injuries, physical limitations, medications, or other health factors that a qualified professional would consider.
- Consult a professional. You should consult a qualified healthcare professional, physician, or certified personal trainer before beginning, modifying, or intensifying any exercise program. This is especially important if you have pre-existing health conditions, injuries, are pregnant, or have not exercised recently.
- You assume the risk. Strength training involves inherent physical risks, including but not limited to muscle strains, joint injuries, cardiovascular events, and other physical harm. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any exercise, weight, or recommendation is appropriate for your body, fitness level, and health status. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with your use of the Service and any exercises performed based on information provided by the Service.
- AI limitations. The AI coach may produce recommendations that are inaccurate, inappropriate for your circumstances, or based on incomplete data. It cannot observe your form, detect pain, or assess your physical condition. Never continue an exercise if you experience pain, dizziness, or discomfort, regardless of what the AI recommends.
- No guaranteed outcomes. We do not guarantee any specific fitness, strength, body composition, or health outcome from using the Service.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account and delete their data.
4. Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You agree to:
- Provide accurate information when creating your account.
- Keep your login credentials secure and not share them with others.
- Not create multiple accounts for the same person.
- Not transfer, sell, or share your account with any other person.
- Notify us immediately at info@povver.ai if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, without prior notice in cases of serious violations.
5. Subscriptions and Payments
5.1 The Subscription
Povver is offered as one paid subscription, billed monthly or annually, with a free trial for eligible new subscribers (Section 5.8). If your trial or subscription ends, you can still log workouts, see your history and import history from other apps. The coach, the Intelligence tab, AI analysis, and the MCP integration stop until you subscribe again.
5.2 Billing
Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store. By subscribing, you agree to Apple's payment terms. Subscription fees are charged in advance for each billing period, monthly or annually depending on the plan you choose. Current prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
5.3 Renewal and Cancellation
Subscriptions auto-renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you keep access to the subscription features until then.
5.4 Refunds
Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policies. We do not process refunds directly.
5.5 Price Changes
We may change subscription prices. Apple will notify you of price changes, and you will have the opportunity to accept or decline before the new price takes effect. If you do not accept a price change, your subscription will not renew at the end of the current billing period.
5.6 Auto-Renewal Disclosure
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF EACH BILLING PERIOD AT THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE UNLESS YOU CANCEL AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THE END OF THE CURRENT PERIOD. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods, except as set out in Section 16 or where required by law.
5.7 EU Right of Withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the EU or EEA, you have a 14-day right to withdraw from a digital content purchase. However, by starting to use the subscription features of the Service after subscribing, you expressly consent to the immediate performance of the contract and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the digital content has been fully provided during the withdrawal period. Apple manages the withdrawal and refund process for App Store purchases.
5.8 Free Trial
We may offer a free trial (currently 14 days) to eligible new subscribers. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is generally limited to one free trial per Apple ID for this subscription. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid, auto-renewing subscription at the then-current price, and your first payment will be charged at that time. You can cancel at any time during the trial through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions); if you cancel before the trial ends, you will not be charged.
6. Your Content
"Your Content" means any data you submit to the Service, including workout logs, workout history you import from other apps, notes, messages and photos you send to the AI coach, templates, routines, and notes the coach keeps about you.
- Ownership. You retain ownership of Your Content.
- License to operate the Service. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, process, and store Your Content solely for the purposes of providing, maintaining, and improving the Service. This includes processing Your Content through AI models to generate personalized coaching and analysis, as described in our Privacy Policy.
- Aggregate data. We may use anonymized, aggregated data derived from Your Content for analytics and service improvement. This data cannot be used to identify you and is not considered personal data.
- No sale. We will not sell Your Content to third parties. We will not use Your Content to train third-party AI models.
- Imported history. When you import a file from another app, you confirm that it holds your own training data, or that you have permission to upload it. We import the data as it is in the file. We do not check that the other app's export is complete or correct, and we are not responsible for errors that come from it. Check the preview before you confirm. You can remove an import at any time in the app. Our Privacy Policy describes how we process and store the file.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other user accounts, or underlying systems and infrastructure.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service.
- Use the Service to harass, abuse, threaten, or harm others.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure, including through denial-of-service attacks or similar activity.
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access or extract data from the Service, except through the MCP integration and API keys we provide, within their usage limits.
- Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any of its features.
- Circumvent any technical measures we use to protect the Service or enforce these Terms.
- Misrepresent your identity or impersonate another person.
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent data to the Service with the intent to manipulate AI outputs or abuse the coaching features.
We reserve the right to investigate violations and take appropriate action, including suspending or terminating your account, reporting conduct to law enforcement, and pursuing legal remedies.
8. AI Features
The Service includes AI-powered features such as post-workout analysis, coaching conversations, program generation, and automatic training recommendations. The AI coach is an automated system — it is not a human. These features are powered by large language models operated by Anthropic and Google (Vertex AI). Photos you attach to a message are also sent to the model. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated content is produced by machine learning models. It may contain inaccuracies, errors, or recommendations that are unsuitable for your specific situation.
- AI recommendations are not a substitute for professional coaching, personal training, medical advice, or physical therapy.
- You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any AI-generated recommendation is appropriate for your fitness level, health status, and personal circumstances before acting on it.
- We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, safety, or suitability of any AI-generated content.
- AI features may be modified, improved, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
- When you send messages to the AI coach, those messages — along with relevant workout data — are transmitted to our AI model provider, Anthropic or Google Vertex AI (a third-party service), for processing. We do not routinely review individual conversations; access is limited to authorized personnel and only for security, debugging, abuse prevention, or legal compliance. By using the AI coaching features, you consent to this transmission and processing.
8.1 Post-Workout Analysis
After each workout, the Service automatically analyzes your session to compute training metrics and generate recommendations. This analysis runs in the background and may include AI processing of aggregated training statistics. Results are delivered as insights and recommendations within the app.
8.2 Auto-Pilot
You may enable Auto-Pilot, which allows the Service to automatically apply certain low-impact recommendations to your training templates — such as increasing weight on an exercise where you've consistently met your targets. You acknowledge that:
- Auto-Pilot modifies your training templates without requiring explicit approval for each change.
- All automatic changes are logged and visible in the app. While your subscription is active, you can review and undo any change.
- Weight increases, small rep increases, most deloads, and moving your plan to its next phase (which can change set counts) can be applied automatically. Exercise swaps, added exercises, standalone volume adjustments, and rep-range changes are always presented for your review, even with Auto-Pilot enabled.
- You can disable Auto-Pilot at any time. Disabling it does not undo changes already applied.
- You remain solely responsible for evaluating whether any automatically applied change is appropriate for your circumstances (see Section 2).
8A. External AI Integrations (MCP)
The Service offers an optional Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration that allows you to connect external AI tools — such as Claude — to your Povver data. It requires an active subscription. By connecting an external AI tool, you acknowledge and agree that:
- The external tool will be able to read your workout history, training programs, recommendations, and analysis data.
- Data transmitted to external AI tools leaves our infrastructure and is processed according to that tool's own privacy policy and terms of service. We are not responsible for how external tools handle your data.
- You are solely responsible for reviewing the privacy practices of any external tool you connect.
- Connected tools can create and edit workouts, routines, templates, periodization plans, and injury notes on your behalf, and can delete workouts, routines, and templates. Deletions cannot be undone. All such changes are logged within the Service.
- If you create an API key, keep it secret. Anyone who has it can read and change your data as a connected tool can, and you are responsible for its use until you revoke it in the app. Usage limits apply.
- You can revoke an external tool's access at any time through the app. Revocation takes effect immediately but does not delete data already transmitted to the external tool.
- We may limit, suspend, or modify MCP access at any time.
9. Beta and Experimental Features
We may offer features labeled as "beta," "experimental," "preview," or similar designations. These features are provided as-is, may be unstable, and may be modified or removed without notice. By using beta features, you acknowledge the additional risks and agree that we bear no additional liability for issues arising from their use.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service — including its design, source code, features, branding, exercise catalog, AI models, and all associated content — is the intellectual property of BVA Technologies Oy and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or other brand assets.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works based on the Service without our prior written permission.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or secure.
- Results obtained from the Service, including AI-generated coaching and analysis, will be accurate, reliable, or suitable for any particular purpose.
- Any defects or errors will be corrected.
- The Service will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
YOU USE THE SERVICE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PHYSICAL INJURY, HEALTH ISSUE, OR OTHER HARM THAT MAY RESULT FROM EXERCISES PERFORMED OR RECOMMENDATIONS FOLLOWED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BVA TECHNOLOGIES OY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, PERSONAL INJURY, BODILY HARM, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED EUROS (EUR 100).
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BVA Technologies Oy and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- Your use of the Service.
- Your violation of these Terms.
- Your violation of any third-party rights.
- Any injury, damage, or harm to yourself or others resulting from exercises performed or recommendations followed in connection with your use of the Service.
- Any content you submit to the Service.
14. Dispute Resolution
14.1 Mandatory Pre-Suit Notice and Cure Period
Before initiating any formal legal proceeding or arbitration, you must first send a written notice of your dispute to info@povver.ai (a "Notice of Dispute"). The Notice must include: (a) your name and account email, (b) a detailed description of the dispute, (c) the specific relief you seek, and (d) your signature (electronic signature is acceptable). We will have 60 days from receipt of the Notice to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You agree not to initiate any proceeding during this 60-day period. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may proceed as described below.
14.2 Users in the European Union, EEA, and United Kingdom
If you are a consumer resident in the EU, EEA, or United Kingdom, these Terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Finland. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.
14.3 Users Outside the European Union, EEA, and United Kingdom
If you are located outside the EU, EEA, and United Kingdom, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) under its then-current arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, seated in Helsinki, Finland, by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND POVVER AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Povver.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND POVVER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
14.4 Small Claims Court
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in their jurisdiction instead of arbitration, provided the claim falls within the court's jurisdictional limits. If the claim is transferred or appealed to a different court, it shall be subject to arbitration as described above.
14.5 Prevailing Party Fees
In any arbitration or legal proceeding arising from these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
14.6 Limitation Period
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM AROSE, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. This limitation period applies to all claims regardless of legal theory (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise). This provision does not apply where a shorter or longer limitation period is mandated by applicable law that cannot be contractually modified.
15. Termination
15.1 By You
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time through the app or by contacting us at info@povver.ai. Deleting your account does not cancel your Apple subscription. Cancel it in your Apple account settings.
15.2 By Us
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately and without prior notice if:
- You materially breach these Terms.
- We are required to do so by law or a lawful order.

For less severe violations, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you and give you an opportunity to remedy the breach before termination.
15.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination:
- Your right to use the Service ends immediately.
- Active subscriptions will not be renewed. You remain responsible for any charges incurred before termination.
- We will delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see Section 8 of the Privacy Policy).

16. Service Discontinuation
We may discontinue the Service or any part of it at our discretion. If we permanently discontinue the Service:
- We will provide at least 30 days' advance notice to active users via email and/or in-app notification.
- Active subscribers will not be charged for periods after the discontinuation date. If you have prepaid for a period that extends past the discontinuation date, we will work with Apple to arrange a pro-rata refund or credit.
- We will provide a mechanism for you to export your workout data before the Service shuts down.
17. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications outages, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party service providers.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance via email and/or in-app notification. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were last revised.
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you disagree with the changes, you should stop using the Service and delete your account before the changes take effect.
19. Governing Law
Except as otherwise provided in Section 14 (Dispute Resolution), these Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
20. Communications
By creating an account, you consent to receive service-related communications from us, including account notifications, security alerts, and transactional messages (e.g., subscription confirmations). These communications are necessary for the operation of the Service and are not marketing.
We will only send promotional or marketing communications with your separate, explicit opt-in consent. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication or by contacting us at info@povver.ai. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect service-related messages.
If you receive notifications from the Service, such as rest-timer alerts, you can turn them off at any time in the app or in your device settings.
21. Accessibility
We are committed to making the Service accessible to users with disabilities. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for accessibility. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at info@povver.ai.
22. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Povver regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations to a successor entity (e.g., in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets), provided the successor agrees to honor these Terms.
- No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
- Export compliance. You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. You may not use the Service in any country or region that is subject to comprehensive U.S. or EU sanctions.
