Terms of service
These terms are the agreement between you and One Small Stride when you use One Small Stride. We have kept them as short and plain as we can. Please read the section on health before you train with One Small Stride.
One Small Stride is a free research preview. Everyone who uses it, to train or to coach, does so at their own risk. It gives no medical advice, it can log things wrongly, and to the fullest extent the law allows, nobody behind it is liable for what happens when you use it.
The short version
- You use One Small Stride at your own risk. It is a free research preview, provided as it is.
- One Small Stride keeps your training record. It does not give medical advice, and it cannot replace a doctor.
- Your coach is responsible for the plan and advice they give you. We provide the tool you share.
- Your data stays yours. You let us use it only to run One Small Stride for you.
- The app fills your record from what you say, and it can get things wrong. Check what it logged and correct it when needed.
- You can stop using One Small Stride and delete your account at any time.
Who these terms are with
One Small Stride is a free research preview, run by an individual based in Ireland. There is no company behind it yet. “We” and “us” mean One Small Stride and the person who runs it. “You” means anyone using One Small Stride, whether you practise with it or coach with it.
You use One Small Stride at your own risk. By creating an account or using One Small Stride, you accept that:
- One Small Stride is offered free and as it is, for you to try. Nobody promises that it is accurate, safe, secure, always available or right for you.
- You alone decide how you train, what you eat and whose advice you follow, and you are responsible for those decisions and what comes of them.
- The person who runs One Small Stride does so personally and without charge. To the fullest extent the law allows, they are not personally liable to you for any loss, injury or damage that comes from using it.
- Any claim you have about One Small Stride is limited as set out in Our responsibility to you. You agree not to bring a claim against the person who runs One Small Stride in their personal capacity, except where the law does not allow that right to be given up.
If a company is formed to run One Small Stride, these terms and your account may pass to it, and from then on the company alone is responsible to you. We will tell you when that happens.
If you do not accept these terms, including that you use One Small Stride at your own risk, please do not use it. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.
What One Small Stride does
One Small Stride is the home of your practices, and it holds two so far. Strength is a voice-first tracking practice: a coach and the person they coach build a plan together, then the person speaks short updates, such as “bench, three sets of eight at 60 kilos, last set felt heavy”, and the app fills the structured record against the plan and the last recorded values. Coaches can follow their clients’ records and change their plans. Yoga is practised on your own: the app builds or offers flows and breathing sessions, guided by Lily’s recorded voice and drawn figures, and keeps what you did and how it went.
One Small Stride is a research preview. It is experimental, it may contain errors, and accounts are by invitation. We may add, change or remove features, or pause or end the preview, at any time.
Health and safety
One Small Stride is not a medical service, and nothing in it is medical advice. It records what you do, and it can show how that compares with your plan. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.
- Talk to a doctor before you start a new exercise or nutrition programme, especially if you have a medical condition, an injury, or are pregnant.
- Stop exercising and seek help if you feel pain, faintness, dizziness or shortness of breath.
- Exercise carries a risk of injury. You choose how you train and how hard, and you accept the risks that come with training.
- Yoga carries risks too, above all in inversions, deep backbends, arm balances and poses that put weight on the head or neck. The figures and Lily’s words are general guidance, not a teacher watching you. Work within what your body allows, use the easier versions offered, and leave out anything that hurts.
- Breathing sessions can make you light-headed. Do them sitting or lying down, never while driving or in water, and stop if you feel dizzy.
One Small Stride is not built for emergencies. If you need urgent help, contact your local emergency services.
Your account
- You must be 18 or over to use One Small Stride. By creating an account, you confirm that you are. We will close any account that belongs to someone under 18.
- Give us accurate details, and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- Tell us straight away at hello@onesmallstride.com if you think someone else has used your account.
- One account belongs to one person. You can hold both roles, as a coach and as someone following a plan.
Coaches and the people they coach
One Small Stride connects coaches and clients, but we are not part of the arrangement between them. We do not employ coaches or check their qualifications, and we are not responsible for the plans or advice they give. Any fees, schedules or cancellations are agreed between the coach and the client.
If you use One Small Stride as a coach, you agree that:
- you will invite only people who have agreed to work with you;
- you will use your clients’ records only to coach them, and you will keep them confidential;
- you hold whatever qualifications, insurance and permissions your work requires where you practise;
- you will not ask clients to share more health information than coaching needs.
You are responsible for the plans and advice you give through One Small Stride. You agree to cover any claim, loss or cost that we face because of that advice or because you broke these terms.
If you are coached in Strength, your coach can see your Strength plan and record for as long as you are connected, apart from any habit you make private. Your coach sees nothing of your Yoga unless you choose to share its weekly line.
Your data and content
Everything you put into One Small Stride stays yours, including your plan, your spoken updates, your record and your notes. You give us permission to store, process and display it only as needed to run One Small Stride for you and the coach you are connected to, and to keep the service secure and working. This permission ends when you delete your content or your account, except for copies we must keep by law or that are waiting to be overwritten in backups.
Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data in detail.
How the app fills your record
One Small Stride uses speech recognition and AI models to turn what you say into logged values. When it is unsure, it asks you one short question instead of guessing. It can still mishear a number or match a sentence to the wrong exercise. Look over what it logged, and correct any value that is wrong. You and your coach should not rely on the record for decisions that matter without checking it.
Using One Small Stride fairly
You agree not to:
- break the law, or use One Small Stride to harass, harm or deceive anyone;
- access another person’s account or data without their permission;
- try to break, overload or get around the security of One Small Stride;
- copy, resell or reverse engineer the service, or use automated tools to extract data from it;
- upload anything that you do not have the right to share.
What belongs to us
The One Small Stride software, its design, Lily’s recorded guidance and figures in Yoga, and the One Small Stride, Strength and Yoga names and logos belong to us. These terms give you permission to use One Small Stride for its intended purpose. They do not transfer any of our rights to you. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.
Price
One Small Stride is free during the research preview. We may charge for it in the future. Before we charge you anything, we will tell you the price and what it includes, and you can choose whether to continue.
Ending your use of One Small Stride
You can stop using One Small Stride at any time. To delete your account, write to hello@onesmallstride.com and we will delete your data as our privacy policy describes.
We may suspend or close your account, or end the research preview, at any time and for any reason. When we can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to ask for a copy of your data.
Our responsibility to you
One Small Stride is a free research preview, and we provide it “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no promises or warranties about it, including that it will be accurate, available, secure or fit for any purpose.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that arises from your use of One Small Stride. This includes injury or illness from training, decisions made on the basis of your record or a coach’s advice, errors in what the app logged, and loss of data. If we are found liable despite this, our total liability to you is limited to €50.
Irish and EU law do not allow some liability to be excluded, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits that liability, and if you use One Small Stride as a consumer, you keep the rights that consumer law gives you.
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms at any time. The new version applies from the date at the top of this page. We will try to let you know about significant changes by email or in the app. If you keep using One Small Stride after a change, the new terms apply. If you do not agree to them, stop using One Small Stride and ask us to delete your account.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the law of Ireland, and disputes will be heard in the Irish courts. If you live elsewhere in the EU, you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you keep the protections of your local consumer law.
If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
