Terms of use

Independent coach platform licenses and invited clients

Independent coaches may license BuildingRome for $49 USD per month, including up to 15 active clients. The platform owner may agree to a different monthly base fee and client allowance for additional capacity. The optional AI add-on is $25 USD per month per coach workspace, not per client. Coach platform fees are collected outside the app; this interface records owner-approved payment periods and does not itself collect, verify, or automatically renew those payments. Your invoice or separate billing agreement states payment and renewal arrangements. No coach license is activated merely by registering. The coach must accept these platform terms before inviting clients.

Coaches may invite clients using their email addresses only when authorized to contact them for the agreed coaching service. Invitations expire after seven days and reserve a client spot while pending. Each client must accept through the matching verified email and confirm adult status and training sharing before access begins. Invitations are service communications and do not enroll a client in marketing. Coaches may archive clients to release spots. Reducing a limit prevents new admissions but does not delete existing client records. A paid period ending or an owner pause ends sponsored coaching access without deleting clients' workout or message history. Platform ownership does not permit viewing another coach's private client training or messages through the coaching workspace.

Coaches arrange their coaching services, qualifications, response times, and client payments directly with their clients. A coach platform license does not include Rome's personal coaching, calls, or an individual Pro, Coaching, or Premium subscription for each client. Client-sponsored access includes workout plans, coach adjustments, tracking, weekly check-ins, and private human messaging with the assigned coach. Existing personal subscriptions remain separate and are not automatically canceled or transferred. Billing disputes or cancellation of coaching purchased directly from an independent coach should be raised with that coach, without limiting applicable consumer rights.

Optional AI costs $25 per month per coach workspace. It includes 300 shared credits per paid monthly license period, with a maximum of 60 credits per day across the workspace and 10 AI processing attempts per person per day. Atlas requests and coach review drafts, including automatic check-in drafts, share this allowance. Longer requests and review drafts use more credits. Reserved credits count when processing starts, including unsuccessful attempts. Credits do not roll over, cannot be transferred, and do not increase when client capacity increases. No automatic overage charges apply. When the allowance runs out, AI pauses until the next paid license period; workouts, tracking, and human messages continue. AI is optional, requires each client's separate consent, and does not replace professional judgment. Allowances and prices for future renewal periods may change with advance notice.

AI review drafts require coach oversight. A coach who enables AI may use opted-in clients' plans, training summaries, and check-in details for drafting. Each client explicitly chooses whether AI processing of their training is allowed at signup, invitation acceptance, or in Account; declining does not remove human coaching. Client Atlas conversations and context choices require their own separate consent. Coaches must not use automated requests, share licenses, resell AI credits, or bypass workspace limits. Contact support@buildingrome.dev about paid capacity changes or ending a coach license.

Pro trial offers

Where offered, eligible new Pro subscribers receive a seven-day free trial, followed by the monthly Pro price shown at checkout ($49 USD on the website; localized store prices may differ). The trial renews into the paid monthly subscription unless you cancel before its displayed end date. Your checkout provider shows eligibility, the trial end date, and the recurring charge before you confirm. Store eligibility rules apply; a trial is not promised to returning or ineligible subscribers. Coaching and Premium do not include a free trial. A trial starts only after you explicitly confirm the subscription, and any required payment method is handled by the checkout provider. Cancel through the same provider where you subscribed; uninstalling does not cancel renewal. Pro trial access ends at the confirmed trial expiry if it does not convert to a paid subscription; unpaid trials have no renewal grace period.

The BuildingRome service

BuildingRome Studio LLC provides training tools, a workout journal, nutrition calculations, and educational guides. Optional paid services add Atlas AI assistance and private guidance from a BuildingRome coach when enrollment is enabled. Free tools remain available without a subscription. Paid coaching and Atlas are intended for adults 18 and older.

Training and nutrition decisions

Automated programs and calculations do not assess lifting technique, injuries, medical conditions, or clinical dietary needs. They are general educational tools, not an individual medical or nutrition prescription. A human coach may review your form video for general exercise guidance; this is not diagnosis, physical therapy, or medical treatment. Choose exercises and loads appropriate for you and obtain qualified advice when needed. Stop an activity that causes pain or concerning symptoms.

The maintenance-calorie estimate and suggested macro split require confirmation that you are 18 or older and meet the conditions shown in the planner. Estimates and exercise targets do not guarantee a particular change in strength, muscle, weight, or health.

Nutrition recommendations

Rome is a coach, not a registered dietitian or licensed nutrition professional. Nutrition recommendations from your BuildingRome coach, from Atlas, and from BuildingRome's nutrition tools are general education and practical guidance for healthy adults. They are not medical advice, medical nutrition therapy, or a diet plan for any medical condition, and they do not replace care from a qualified professional.

Before making significant changes to how you eat, and for any actual diet planning, seek guidance from your doctor or a registered dietitian. This matters especially if you are under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition affected by diet (such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or a digestive condition), have a current or past eating disorder, or take medication that affects appetite or weight. In those cases, use BuildingRome for training and follow your clinician's nutrition guidance.

Calorie and macro targets from your coach (Premium) are available only to members who answer no to every question in the nutrition screening: under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, a medical condition that affects what you eat, a current or past eating disorder, or medication that affects appetite or weight. Any yes means nutrition target coaching is not offered; training coaching continues. Targets change in small steps, no more often than every two weeks.

You decide what to eat and whether to follow any recommendation. Stop and seek medical advice if a change in eating causes dizziness, unusual fatigue, or other concerning symptoms.

Your entries and local storage

Enter your actual completed sets, repetitions, and weights rather than treating planned targets as completed work. You remain responsible for the accuracy of your entries. Earlier workouts saved without an account remain in the current browser or app installation and can be exported from Account and settings → Earlier on-device workouts. They are not cloud backups and are not automatically assigned to a signed-in account. New tracked workouts require a free account.

You control whether to export a copy. Clearing storage, uninstalling the app, or losing a device can remove local records. Do not rely on the preview as your only copy of information you need to keep.

Accounts and acceptable use

Previewing a training plan, reading public guides, and using public nutrition tools do not require an account. Starting and tracking new workouts requires a free account; no subscription or marketing consent is required. Confirm the plan you want to use after signup or sign-in. Provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and report unauthorized access. Email verification is required before sending AI or coaching messages or starting checkout. Do not share paid account access with other people.

Do not access another person's private records, interfere with the service, upload malicious material, harass others, or misuse messaging. BuildingRome Studio LLC may restrict access to protect users or respond to misuse.

Optional marketing emails

You choose separately whether to receive occasional BuildingRome specials, product news, and training updates. This choice is optional and is not a condition of creating an account, using free tools, or purchasing a plan. Change it or unsubscribe in Account → Specials and updates. Account verification, recovery, and other necessary service messages remain separate.

Ownership and use of content

You retain ownership of the workout notes and other original information you enter. BuildingRome Studio LLC and its licensors retain their rights in the BuildingRome software, brand artwork and original content. You may use the available tools and guides for your own training. Third-party materials and linked sources retain their respective rights.

Pro, Coaching, and Premium subscriptions

When paid enrollment is available, Pro is $49 USD per month and includes 100 Atlas replies and 2 new private training questions for your assigned coach each calendar month. Coaching is $99 USD per month and includes 300 Atlas replies, 8 new private training questions each calendar month, and one progress check-in each week. Monthly allowances reset at 00:00 UTC on the first day of the month; weekly check-ins use Monday–Sunday UTC. Unused allowances do not roll over. A plan change does not reset usage counters. Pro has no enrollment limit. Coaching and Premium share the available coaching capacity displayed before checkout. Capacity may change, but lowering it does not cancel existing confirmed membership access.

On Pro and Coaching, each private question or check-in includes up to five member follow-up messages on that topic within 14 days of opening it, while a paid plan remains active. Pro's reply target is within three business days; Coaching's is within two business days, Monday–Friday. This is asynchronous support, not unlimited or around-the-clock access. Atlas can also help with general meal ideas, shopping lists, and understanding an outline you choose to share. Basic nutrition calculations stay free. Your coach may discuss training progress, habits, and adjustments, and may give general nutrition recommendations as described under Nutrition recommendations. Coaching works from your logged workouts. Log each session in the app, including skipped sets and missed days, so your coach can see what you actually did. Without logs, recommendations are general, and your coach may ask for missing details before advising. With your saved permission, your assigned coach may use Anthropic’s Claude to prepare reviews and suggested plan changes, and to ask Coach Atlas questions about your training, from your plan, logged exercises, weights, reps, effort, skipped work and reasons, training and body-weight summaries, and check-in details. Choosing the clearly labeled AI-assisted signup or invitation action records this permission once. Permission saved before October 28, 2026 covers reviews only; Coach Atlas uses your training only after you allow the updated permission. You may choose manual reviews instead or withdraw permission in Account → Plans without losing human coaching. Existing accounts are not opted in automatically. When enabled, reviews may be drafted after a check-in or at your coach’s request. Nothing is sent to you or changed in your plan without a coach's approval, including suggested weights and scheduling a next block. Weekly workspace briefings summarize available records without sending them to an AI provider. This does not include medical care, injury diagnosis, medical nutrition therapy or diet planning for a medical condition, or guaranteed outcomes.

Premium, when enrollment is open, is $199 USD per month, available through supported website and app-store checkout with a limited number of seats. Store prices are displayed in local currency. It includes everything in Coaching with 500 Atlas replies each calendar month, private messages with your assigned coach with no monthly question count and no per-topic follow-up limit, subject to fair use, a reply target of 1 business day (Monday–Friday), one video call of up to 45 minutes each calendar month booked through a scheduling link with at least 48 hours notice, and 4 form reviews each calendar month. For a form review you share a link to a video you host elsewhere; BuildingRome stores the link, not the video, and you can remove the video at its source at any time. Premium may include calorie and macro targets set by your coach, subject to Nutrition recommendations. Unused calls and form reviews do not roll over. A missed call without 24 hours' notice may count toward that month's call. Calls are coaching conversations, not medical, physical therapy, or emergency consultations. Fair use means messages are about your own training, nutrition habits, and progress, sent by you rather than by automated tools. Replies remain asynchronous within the reply target, not around-the-clock. After notice, BuildingRome may pause or limit Premium messaging for abusive, automated, or non-training use, or volume that prevents timely replies to other members.

Subscriptions renew monthly until canceled; these offers are monthly subscriptions, not an annual commitment paid in installments. The checkout provider displays the recurring price and any applicable tax before payment. No subscription is created by using the free tools, registering an account, or merely viewing a checkout page. Public native enrollment remains disabled until store setup and verification are complete. Designated verified test accounts may use the sandbox purchase flow during testing. When enabled, the store displays its localized recurring price and handles purchase, restore, and subscription management.

Your coach and training review

Where coach selection is available, a new paying member chooses an available BuildingRome coach before checkout. A current subscriber keeps their assigned coach when changing tiers. The platform owner manages coach invitations, status, and capacity. Each coach, including the owner when acting as a coach, can access only their own assigned clients. The owner cannot use the coaching workspace to read or take over another coach’s client records. Coach fees for using the platform are arranged outside the app. Invited clients receive separate sponsored access as described in Independent coach platform licenses and invited clients.

Coaching and Premium include training review. Your assigned coach can access your saved plan, logged workouts, skipped sets and missed sessions with reasons, other logged training, weekly summaries, and body weight entries while this coaching access remains active. This sharing is part of the service and cannot be switched off while retaining Coaching or Premium. To end training sharing, change to Pro or allow your Coaching or Premium access to end; canceling renewal keeps the period already paid. Pro and free plans do not include coach access to training records. Private coaching messages remain available as described in the privacy notice. Atlas processing and marketing emails require separate choices.

Changes, cancellations, and refunds

For a website subscription, open Account → Atlas and coaching plans → Manage subscription to change or cancel future renewal. Review the provider's displayed price, timing, and any prorated charge before confirming a plan change. If management is unavailable or you need help, contact support@buildingrome.dev. Canceling future renewal preserves the period already paid; deleting an app or signing out does not cancel a subscription.

While a website renewal is being collected, paid features continue for up to 48 hours after the paid period ends. If the renewal fails, an unpaid invoice does not extend access beyond that. A full refund of the current paid invoice or a payment dispute may suspend paid features while the payment is resolved. A partial refund or refund for an older invoice does not automatically erase a newer paid period. Past conversations and workout history remain readable after paid access ends unless you separately request deletion.

Send refund requests and billing concerns to support@buildingrome.dev. We review the circumstances and applicable consumer rights rather than promise an automatic refund or exclude rights the law protects. A sandbox checkout is a test and does not charge a real card. Public paid enrollment remains unavailable while billing setup and verification are incomplete.

Atlas and human coaching

Atlas is an AI assistant powered by Claude and may produce inaccurate or incomplete answers. It is not your coach and does not imply that a human has reviewed or approved its replies. Atlas cannot change your saved plan or send a question to your coach automatically. You choose what to share with Anthropic before using it. Send personal training questions through your coach's separate inbox. Your coach may also use Coach Atlas, an AI assistant for coaches; with your separate permission it may use your training as described in the privacy notice. Your coach remains responsible for advice and plan changes they give you.

Neither Atlas nor the coaching inbox is monitored for emergencies. Seek appropriate urgent local help for urgent symptoms, and use qualified professionals for medical decisions. A coach response target is not a promise of emergency availability.

Availability and changes

Preview features may change or be interrupted. We cannot promise uninterrupted operation, error-free results or preservation of locally stored records. We will describe material changes to paid services before they apply. These terms do not remove rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
