Terms of Use

1. Scope and provider

These terms apply to the use of GorillaMode – the iOS app, the web app at gorillamode.de and our website (together the “Service”).

The provider is Algorillas GmbH, Münsterstr. 1a, 55116 Mainz, Germany, represented by its Managing Director Tomislav Pree, registered in the commercial register of the Amtsgericht Mainz under HRB 53058 (“we”). Email: support@gorillamode.de Phone: +49 151 65526514

Users’ own differing terms do not apply. How we process your data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

2. Conclusion of contract

The user agreement is concluded when you register, accept these terms and we activate your account. We store the time of your acceptance. The contract is concluded in German; translations are for information only.

3. Minimum age and account

You must be at least 16 years old to use GorillaMode. People under 16 are not permitted to use it.

The details you provide when registering must be true. Each person may have only one account; accounts are not transferable.

Keep your password secret and protect your device against unauthorised access. If you suspect someone is misusing your account, change your password immediately and let us know. This also applies to personal access keys you create for AI assistants – you decide who gets them, and you can revoke them at any time.

4. Services: Free and Premium

GorillaMode is a social fitness app. Among other things, you can track workouts, body data, nutrition and supplements, share photos, connect with friends, like and comment on posts, roast friends, compete on a weekly leaderboard and lock distracting apps with Gym Lock.

The basic features are free and will stay free. Premium gives you additional features, such as the automatic lock in Gym Lock. You can see which features are part of Premium in the app before you buy.

We are constantly developing GorillaMode and may change, add or discontinue features where this is reasonable for you and the core of the contractual service is preserved.

5. Subscriptions, trial and cancellation

Premium is offered as an auto-renewing in-app subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly). Prices including VAT are shown in the app or store before you buy.

• New subscribers get a free 3-day trial.
• Payment is charged to your store account when you confirm the purchase or after the trial ends.
• The subscription renews automatically for the chosen period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You cancel in your store account settings. Deleting the app or your GorillaMode account does not automatically end the subscription.

Purchase and billing are handled through Apple’s App Store or, where offered, Google Play. Their terms apply in addition; refunds are governed by Apple’s or Google’s policies. We may provide Premium free of charge to staff and testers.

6. Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer, you have a statutory right of withdrawal. If you buy a subscription via the App Store or Google Play, the respective store is your contractual partner for that purchase; withdrawal and refunds are then governed by its terms and procedures. For services you purchase directly from us, the following information applies:

Withdrawal information

Right of withdrawal: You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Algorillas GmbH, Münsterstr. 1a, 55116 Mainz, Germany, phone +49 151 65526514, email support@gorillamode.de) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw. We will use the same means of payment you used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. If you requested that the service begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount proportionate to what has been provided until you informed us of your withdrawal, compared with the full coverage of the contract.

Early expiry: For a contract for digital content or digital services, your right of withdrawal expires under § 356(5) German Civil Code (BGB) once we have begun performance after you have expressly consented to our beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period, you have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins, and we have provided you with a confirmation of the contract.

7. Your content

Content you post in GorillaMode – such as workouts, photos, comments and profile details – remains yours. You grant us a non-exclusive, free, non-transferable right to store, process and display it according to your settings, to the extent necessary to operate the Service.

This right ends when you delete the content or your account. Excepted are copies already displayed in your friends’ views, to the extent they are beyond our control (e.g. screenshots).

You confirm that you hold the necessary rights to your content and do not infringe any third-party rights – in particular, that people shown have agreed to its publication.

8. Community rules

GorillaMode thrives on friendly competition. So:

• No harassment, bullying, threats or hate speech.
• No nudity or sexual content.
• No illegal content and no infringement of third-party rights.
• Do not impersonate anyone else.
• Roasts stay friendly – teasing yes, hurting no.
• No spam, no manipulating the leaderboard and no interfering with the Service’s technology.

You can block users and report content. We review reports and may remove content, restrict features or suspend or permanently ban accounts if these rules or the law are violated. In doing so, we take into account the circumstances of the individual case and the legitimate interests of everyone involved.

9. Health notice

GorillaMode does not replace medical advice. Content, statistics and tips in the app are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Talk to a doctor before starting or changing a training or nutrition programme, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, injuries or are pregnant. You train on your own responsibility and at your own risk; listen to your body.

GorillaMode, its tracking and Gym Lock are not medical devices.

10. Availability

We strive for stable operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, updates, outages at service providers or circumstances beyond our control may cause interruptions. Where possible, we carry out planned maintenance at times of low usage.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation – an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you may regularly rely. In that case our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Otherwise, our liability is excluded. These provisions also apply to our employees, representatives and agents.

12. Term and termination

The user agreement runs for an indefinite period. You can terminate it at any time by deleting your account in the app (Profile → Legal → Delete account). You cancel any running subscription separately in your store account.

We may terminate the agreement with 30 days’ notice. Both parties’ right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected – for us, good cause exists in particular in the event of serious or repeated breaches of these terms.

13. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms if there is a legitimate reason, such as new features, changes in law or case law. We will notify you of changes with reasonable notice, at least 30 days before they take effect, by email or in the app.

You may object to the changes or terminate the agreement before they take effect. We will point out this right and its consequences separately in the notice.

14. Apple-specific terms

If you use the iOS app via the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

• These terms are concluded only between you and us, not with Apple Inc. We – not Apple – are responsible for the app and its content.
• Your licence is limited to using the app on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app (e.g. product liability, failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection) or any third-party claims of intellectual property infringement; we are responsible for these within the scope of these terms.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US embargo and are not listed on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Please direct questions and complaints to us: support@gorillamode.de.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Governing law, dispute resolution and final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you retain the protection of the mandatory consumer protection laws of the country in which you habitually reside.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

If any provision of these terms is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by the statutory rules.
