Terms of Use
Last updated: 5 July 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Climbek. They’re written to be readable, but they are a real agreement - please read them. The most important part is the safety note: Climbek is a journal, not a safety device, and climbing carries real risk.
01 Agreement
By downloading or using Climbek (the “app”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please don’t use the app. Climbek is made and operated by Karol Trociński, an individual developer based in Poland (the “developer”, “I”, “me”). You can reach me at support@climbek.app.
02 Your licence to use Climbek
I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Climbek on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. Because Climbek is distributed through the App Store, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement also applies, and where it and these terms overlap, the stricter protection for you applies.
03 Climbing safety - please read
Climbing, bouldering, and strength training are inherently dangerous activities that can cause serious injury or death. Climbek is a journal for recording your climbing - it is not a safety device, coaching service, or training authority. It does not check equipment, belays, conditions, or technique, and it cannot keep you safe. You are solely responsible for your own safety and for climbing within your ability. Always follow proper safety practices, use appropriate equipment, and seek qualified instruction. You climb and train entirely at your own risk.
04 Not medical advice
Any health information Climbek shows - including heart rate, active energy, and workout summaries drawn from Apple Health - is for your own general interest only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and must not be relied on as such. Always consult a qualified medical professional about your health, fitness, and any decision to start or continue physical activity.
05 Your responsibilities
- Use the app lawfully and only as intended.
- Keep your device and Apple ID secure - they protect your journal.
- Keep your own backups. While Climbek makes exporting easy, you are responsible for safeguarding your data, and I am not responsible for data loss.
06 Your content is yours
The sessions, notes, photos, and everything else you enter into Climbek belong to you. The developer claims no ownership of your content and has no access to it - it stays on your device and in your private iCloud, as described in my Privacy Policy.
07 My intellectual property
The Climbek app, its name, design, icon, text, and underlying software are owned by the developer and protected by law. These terms don’t transfer any of those rights to you beyond the licence to use the app described above.
08 Availability and changes to the app
Climbek is offered as-is and as-available. I may update, change, or discontinue the app or any of its features at any time, and I don’t promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. New versions may add, change, or remove features.
09 Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Climbek is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy. I do not warrant that the app will meet your requirements or that any data or health figures it shows are accurate or complete. Nothing here removes rights that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you (see section 11).
10 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or injury, arising from your use of or inability to use the app - including any decision you make about climbing, training, or your health while using it. Climbing at your own risk (section 3) remains your responsibility. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded - including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your mandatory rights as a consumer.
11 Your consumer rights
If you are a consumer in the European Union or Poland, you have mandatory legal rights that these terms do not affect. Nothing in this agreement overrides the consumer-protection rights guaranteed to you by EU and Polish law.
12 Third-party services
Climbek relies on Apple’s App Store, HealthKit, and iCloud. Your use of those services is also governed by Apple’s own terms and policies, which are separate from this agreement.
13 Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Poland and applicable European Union law, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live. Disputes will be handled by the courts competent under those rules.
14 Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always live on this page with an updated date at the top. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
