Terms of Service
Last updated: 24 May 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Services (as defined below) provided by Joshua Kraft, sole proprietor (Einzelunternehmer), Alte Eppelheimer Str. 16, 69115 Heidelberg, Germany ("Temple", "we", "us", or "our").
These Terms apply when you:
download and use our mobile application;
interact with our AI training agent via our iMessage channel;
visit any current or future Temple website that links to these Terms; or
otherwise engage with us, including for support, feedback, surveys, or events (together, the "Services").

If you are a consumer (Verbraucher within the meaning of §13 BGB) residing in the European Union, you retain all mandatory consumer-protection rights under the law of your country of habitual residence. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes those rights.
These Terms are provided in English only. If we localize the Services into other languages in the future, the English version of these Terms will continue to prevail in case of conflict, except where mandatory law of your country of habitual residence provides otherwise.

1. Provider and Contact
The Services are provided by:
Joshua Kraft Einzelunternehmer (sole proprietor) Alte Eppelheimer Str. 16 69115 Heidelberg, Germany Email: joshua.kraft@cdtm.com
2. The Services
Temple is an AI-powered training-planning assistant for sports and fitness. After a personalized onboarding that captures your goals, training experience, and other relevant information, Temple generates a training plan and a weekly workout schedule and offers an AI agent that you can interact with through the Temple app and, optionally, via Apple iMessage.
The AI agent may suggest changes to your training plan and workouts. Any change to your plan requires your explicit confirmation before it takes effect.
Temple is a fitness and lifestyle product, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, or prevent any disease, illness, or medical condition. See Section 7.
3. Eligibility and Minimum Age
You may use the Services only if:
(a) you are at least 16 years old; (b) you have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, or, if your jurisdiction sets a higher contracting age, you have the necessary consent of your parent or legal guardian; and (c) your use of the Services is not prohibited by applicable law in your country.
By accepting these Terms, you confirm that the above conditions are met.
We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access if we have reasonable grounds to believe these conditions are not met.
4. Account Registration
To use the Services, you must create an account using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. By doing so, you authorize the relevant provider to share certain account data with us. See our Privacy Policy for details.
You are responsible for:
providing true, accurate, current, and complete information during onboarding and in your profile (including information relevant to training planning, as described in our Privacy Policy);
keeping your account credentials confidential; and
all activity that takes place under your account.
You must notify us promptly at joshua.kraft@cdtm.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
5. Subscriptions, Free Trials, Billing
5.1 Subscription model
The Services are offered exclusively on a paid subscription basis. There is no free tier beyond any free trial described below. The subscription terms currently offered are:
Monthly subscription, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers; and
Annual subscription, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
The currently applicable prices, billing cycles, and trial conditions are displayed in the app and in the Apple App Store before you complete your purchase.
5.2 Billing through Apple
All purchases are processed exclusively through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple is your contractual counterparty for the payment transaction. Apple's standard terms (including the App Store Terms and Conditions and the Apple Media Services Terms) apply to the payment and to refund handling. We do not receive your payment card data. Subscription-management metadata is processed for us by a third-party subscription-management provider, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5.3 Free trial and automatic conversion
If you start a free trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period at the then-applicable price, unless you cancel before the end of the trial. Cancellation is done through your Apple ID subscription settings on your device (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions).
5.4 Auto-renewal and cancellation
Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual) for the same term and at the then-applicable price, unless you cancel before the end of the current cycle.
Monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time with effect for the end of the then-current monthly billing period.
Annual subscriptions: after completion of the initial committed annual term, the contract renews on a month-to-month basis and may be cancelled at any time with effect for the end of the then-current monthly period, in accordance with §309 Nr. 9 BGB.
Cancellation always takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you retain access until then.
5.5 Price changes
We may change subscription prices in the future. Any price change will be communicated to you in advance through the Services or by email, with a reasonable notice period of at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and will only apply to renewals occurring after that date. If you do not agree to a new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.
5.6 Cancellation and refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings. Apple's refund policy governs any refund claim for App Store purchases. We are not able to issue refunds for purchases made through Apple; refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.
This does not affect your statutory rights, in particular the right of withdrawal under Section 6 or statutory warranty rights under Section 14.
6. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht)
Widerrufsbelehrung
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us:
Joshua Kraft, Alte Eppelheimer Str. 16, 69115 Heidelberg, Germany Email: joshua.kraft@cdtm.com
of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or 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 your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. Because all payments are processed through Apple, any reimbursement will typically be issued by Apple in accordance with its policies; we will cooperate accordingly.
Early performance and loss of the right of withdrawal for digital content / services
You expressly request that we begin performance of the Services (i.e., provide you with immediate access to the AI agent and the training-plan generation) before the end of the withdrawal period.
You acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by us, provided that performance has begun with your express prior consent and your acknowledgment that you lose your right of withdrawal upon full performance (§356 Abs. 5 BGB).
For ongoing subscription services that have not been fully performed, the right of withdrawal remains available for the 14-day period set out above.

7. Health, Fitness, and AI Disclaimers
7.1 Not medical advice
Temple provides general fitness and training information. The Services do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. Information generated by the AI agent or contained in your training plan is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Always consult a qualified physician or licensed healthcare professional before starting any new training program, especially if you have, or suspect you may have, any medical condition, are pregnant or postpartum, are recovering from injury or surgery, are taking medication, or experience any unusual symptoms during training.
In a medical emergency, contact local emergency services immediately (in the EU: 112; otherwise your local emergency number).
7.2 Your representations about your fitness to exercise
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
(a) you are in generally good physical health and physically capable of engaging in the training activities suggested by the AI agent; (b) you are not aware of any medical condition that would make exercise unsafe for you without professional medical supervision; and (c) where appropriate, you have obtained medical clearance to engage in the activities you intend to perform.
You acknowledge that you assume the inherent risks of physical exercise, including the risk of muscle soreness, strain, sprain, fracture, cardiovascular incidents, and other injuries. You are solely responsible for selecting training intensities appropriate to your current ability, for warming up properly, and for stopping or reducing intensity if you experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, or other warning signs.
This Section 7.2 does not exclude or limit our statutory liability for injury to life, body, or health caused by our breach of duty, including by our legal representatives or agents (see Section 14).
7.3 AI-generated content
The AI agent in Temple is powered by third-party large language models (currently including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) and is subject to the limitations inherent in such systems. AI-generated outputs may be:
inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated;
inappropriate for your specific physical or medical situation; or
inconsistent across requests.
You should critically evaluate any recommendation from the AI agent before acting on it and, where appropriate, seek the advice of a qualified coach, physician, or other professional. Any action taken on the basis of AI output is taken at your own discretion and responsibility.
Pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), we expressly inform you that you are interacting with an AI system when you use the Temple agent.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
(a) use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purpose; (b) use the Services in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Services or interfere with any other user's use of the Services; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services, our servers, or any database or system connected to the Services; (d) circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features or rate limits; (e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, model weights, prompts, or training data from the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law; (f) scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-export data, content, or AI outputs from the Services; (g) use automated means (bots, scripts) to access, create accounts in, or interact with the Services, except for accessibility tools authorized by your operating system; (h) submit content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or harmful, or that misuses third-party personal data; (i) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; (j) use the Services or any AI output to provide medical, therapeutic, or professional coaching advice to third parties under the appearance of professional service; (k) use the Services to build, train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any competing AI model or competing fitness product, except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law; or (l) resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services or any part of them.
We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including warning you, restricting features, suspending or terminating your account, and reporting unlawful conduct to the competent authorities.
9. Intellectual Property and License Grants
9.1 Our rights
The Services, including all software, designs, text, graphics, training-plan logic, AI prompts, and the "Temple" name and logo (collectively, "Our Content"), are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights. All rights in Our Content are reserved by us or our licensors.
9.2 License to you
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Temple app on devices you own or control, and to access the Services, in each case solely for your personal, non-commercial use during the term of your subscription.
This license does not include any right to:
modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Services;
distribute, sell, lease, or sublicense the Services; or
use the Services or any output in any way that competes with us or replicates our offering.
9.3 Feedback
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them for any lawful purpose, without compensation or attribution. You are not obligated to provide feedback.
10. Your Content and Limited License to Us
10.1 Your Content
"Your Content" means the data, messages, training inputs, and other content you submit through the Services, including onboarding and profile data, health information you choose to share (e.g., injuries, conditions, data from connected devices), chat messages and voice inputs to the AI agent (in-app or via iMessage), and training logs and feedback.
You retain all rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.
10.2 License to operate the Services
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, display, and otherwise use Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Services to you, including by transmitting your inputs to our AI service providers to generate responses.
10.3 License for service improvement (aggregated / pseudonymized only)
You also grant us the right to use Your Content in aggregated or pseudonymized form to operate, secure, debug, analyze, and improve the Services (for example, to measure feature usage, detect bugs, or refine our training-plan logic). We do not use Your Content, including your chat messages and health data, to train AI models, whether our own or those of third parties.
10.4 Anonymized testimonials and case studies
Subject to a separate, opt-in consent that we will request from you at the moment of use (for example, when we ask whether we may feature your story), we may use an anonymized version of Your Content for marketing purposes such as testimonials, success stories, and case studies. This Section 10.4 is a permission framework only; actual use requires your separate consent, which you may decline or withdraw at any time without consequence for your use of the Services.
10.5 Your responsibility
You represent and warrant that:
(a) you have all rights necessary to grant the licenses in this Section 10; (b) Your Content does not infringe the rights of any third party (including intellectual property, privacy, and personality rights); (c) Your Content does not contain personal data of third parties (e.g., a training partner's health details) that you are not entitled to share; and (d) Your Content complies with applicable law and Section 8 (Acceptable Use).
10.6 Deletion
You may delete individual chat messages, your chat history, and your account in the app at any time. Upon account deletion, Your Content will be deleted or anonymized in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to legally required retention periods (e.g., tax records).
11. Third-Party Services
11.1 Apple, sign-in providers, and payment
Use of the Services requires interaction with third-party services, including Apple (App Store, Sign in with Apple, iMessage, push notifications, In-App Purchase) and Google (Sign in with Google). Your use of those services is governed by the respective provider's own terms. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or terms of those providers.
11.2 Optional health-data integrations
If you choose to connect optional integrations (such as Apple HealthKit, Garmin, Whoop, or Oura Ring), this is done through the respective third party's APIs and on the basis of a separate consent given by you. We act as recipient of data you authorize to share. Use of those services is governed by the third party's own terms and privacy policy.
11.3 iMessage channel
The optional iMessage channel uses a third-party messaging provider to route messages between your phone number and our backend. Delivery of iMessages depends on Apple's and the provider's networks and is not guaranteed. You must not rely on iMessage delivery, or on in-app push notifications such as training reminders, for any time-critical purpose.
11.4 AI providers
Inputs to the AI agent are processed by third-party AI service providers (currently including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google). See our Privacy Policy for details. The set of AI providers may evolve over time.
12. Availability, Changes, and Maintenance
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Services available, but we do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. The Services may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, third-party outages (e.g., Apple, AI providers, hosting), or events beyond our reasonable control.
We may from time to time:
modify, add, or remove features of the Services;
change the AI providers powering the agent (see Section 11.4); and
update underlying components, models, or infrastructure.
We will not materially reduce the core functionality of a paid subscription during a paid period without giving you advance notice and, where required by mandatory law, an extraordinary right of termination with a pro-rata refund of unused prepaid amounts.
13. Term and Termination
13.1 Term
These Terms apply from the date you first accept them and remain in force for as long as you have an account or an active subscription.
13.2 Termination by you (ordinary termination)
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you retain access until then.
You may delete your account at any time directly in the app.
13.3 Termination by us (ordinary termination)
We may terminate these Terms with a reasonable notice period of 30 days, sent to the email address associated with your account. If you have an active paid subscription, ordinary termination by us takes effect at the earliest at the end of your current paid period, and we will refund any prepaid amounts attributable to periods after the effective date.
13.4 Extraordinary termination for cause (außerordentliche Kündigung)
Either party may terminate these Terms and the subscription for cause without notice (außerordentliche Kündigung aus wichtigem Grund, §314 BGB) if a serious reason makes continuation of the contract unreasonable for the terminating party. For us, such a cause includes in particular:
(a) material or repeated breach of Section 8 (Acceptable Use) after we have warned you, except where prior warning is dispensable; (b) fraud, payment chargebacks made in bad faith, abuse of free trials, or other deceptive conduct; (c) attempts to scrape, reverse-engineer, or extract models, prompts, or data from the Services; (d) misuse of the AI agent to harm third parties or to provide medical, therapeutic, or professional services to others; (e) illegal use of the Services or use that exposes us to material legal risk; (f) provision of materially false information about your eligibility (Section 3) or fitness to exercise (Section 7.2).
Where appropriate, we will give you an opportunity to remedy the breach before terminating.
13.5 Effects of termination
Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends, and your account and Your Content will be deleted or anonymized in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to legally required retention periods. Sections 7 (Disclaimers), 9 (IP), 10 (Content license), 14 (Liability), 15 (Indemnification), 18 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction), and 20 (Miscellaneous) survive termination.
14. Statutory Warranty and Liability
14.1 Statutory warranty
You have all statutory warranty rights under German law (Mängelhaftung), including the rights under §§327d ff. BGB applicable to digital products. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights.
14.2 Liability — general rule
We are liable in accordance with statutory provisions for:
(a) damages caused by intent (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) on our part or that of our legal representatives or agents; (b) damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health caused by a breach of duty by us or our legal representatives or agents; (c) liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz); (d) any guarantees expressly given by us (Garantien); (e) claims arising from fraudulent concealment of a defect.
14.3 Liability for slight negligence
For damages caused by slight negligence (einfache Fahrlässigkeit), we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation ("Kardinalpflicht") — that is, an obligation the fulfillment of which is essential to the proper performance of the contract, on which you may regularly rely. In such cases, our liability is limited to damage that was foreseeable and typical at the time the contract was concluded.
Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded.
14.4 No liability for non-medical outcomes that lie outside our control
Without limiting Sections 14.2 and 14.3, we are not liable for:
(a) the accuracy or appropriateness of AI-generated outputs for your individual situation, beyond the standard of care set out in these Terms; (b) injuries or health consequences resulting from your decision to perform exercises despite the disclaimers and warnings in Section 7, where such injuries are not caused by a breach of duty attributable to us; (c) loss of data attributable to events outside our reasonable control, provided that we have performed reasonable backups; (d) outages of Apple, AI providers, hosting providers, or other third parties, except to the extent we are liable for the selection of those providers or for our own breach of duty.
14.5 Limitation period
Statutory limitation periods apply.
15. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will hold us harmless from and against third-party claims that arise out of:
(a) Your Content, where it infringes third-party rights or applicable law; (b) your breach of Section 8 (Acceptable Use); or (c) your use of the Services to provide services to third parties in violation of Section 8(j).
This indemnification does not apply to the extent that the claim is caused by our breach of duty or our own conduct, and it is subject to the limits of statutory law (in particular, no shifting of liability that cannot be contractually shifted to consumers).
16. Privacy
The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. Please review it carefully.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may amend these Terms from time to time:
(a) to reflect changes in the Services or in applicable law; (b) to introduce new features or business models; or (c) for other reasonable business reasons.
We will notify you of material changes by email or in-app notice at least 30 days before the changes take effect. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate your subscription before the changes take effect; your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Non-material changes (e.g., correcting typos, updating contact details) may take effect immediately upon publication.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If you are a consumer with habitual residence in another EU Member State, you additionally enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of that Member State, as guaranteed by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 (Rome I).
Jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you may bring claims against us either before the courts of your country of habitual residence or before the German courts having jurisdiction over our seat (Heidelberg). We may bring claims against you only before the courts of your country of habitual residence, in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012 (Brussels Ia).
19. Consumer Dispute Resolution (VSBG)
Pursuant to §36 of the German Act on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz, VSBG), we inform you that we are neither obligated nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/3228 and is therefore no longer available.
20. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject matter.
Severability (salvatorische Klausel). If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected. The invalid provision will be replaced by the statutory provision that comes closest to the parties' economic intent.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law; you will be informed in advance and may terminate your subscription if you do not consent.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, governmental measures, internet or hosting outages, or strikes.
No partnership. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and us.
Language. These Terms are provided in English. If we localize the Services into other languages, the English version will continue to prevail in case of conflict, except where mandatory law of your country of habitual residence provides otherwise.
21. App Store Notices
You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the Services or their content. To the extent the Services are downloaded from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply:
(a) The license granted to you in Section 9.2 is limited to use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control and as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA").
(b) Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the Services.
(c) In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app to you (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
(d) We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, subject to these Terms and mandatory law.
(e) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to the app, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
