Effective date: 7 June 2026
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hybrid Buddy mobile application and any related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is operated by Luca Pintimalli, sole operator, based in Spain. Throughout these Terms we may refer to ourselves as "we", "us" or "Hybrid Buddy". You can contact us at [email protected].
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use the Service. By using the Service you confirm that:
We may refuse, suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe violates this section.
To use most features you must create an account using a valid email address. You are responsible for:
We may at any time require you to verify your identity or to reset your password for security reasons.
When using the Service you agree NOT to:
We may remove content and suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without prior notice.
You retain ownership of the content you create on the Service (profile information, photos, workouts, training spots, forum posts, chat messages, "UGC"). By posting UGC you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (e.g. to resize images), display and distribute that UGC solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.
You represent and warrant that:
You may delete your UGC at any time. We may also remove UGC that we reasonably believe violates these Terms.
If you encounter abusive content or behaviour, please report it using the in-app "Report" / "Block" tools, or contact us at [email protected]. We aim to review reports within 48 hours and may remove content, suspend or terminate offending accounts.
Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. The Service is operated from the EU and complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR") and Spanish data-protection law (Ley Orgánica 3/2018, "LOPDGDD").
Key points:
The Service relies on a number of third-party providers, each of whom processes some data under their own terms and privacy policies:
We do not control these third parties; you should review their terms and privacy notices.
The free tier of Hybrid Buddy is supported by non-intrusive banner advertising served by Google AdMob in selected areas (Athletes, Events, Chat). Ads may use device identifiers in accordance with Google's policies. You can manage personalised-ad preferences from your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
The Service is currently free of charge. In the future we may introduce optional paid subscriptions, in-app purchases or premium features. We will only charge you if you explicitly opt in. If and when paid features are launched we will publish supplementary purchase terms (including price, billing cycle, automatic renewal and statutory withdrawal rights under Spanish consumer law) and you will be asked to accept them before any payment is taken. Nothing in these Terms entitles us to charge you without your prior, informed consent.
The Hybrid Buddy name, logo, source code, design, text, graphics, compilations and software are owned by Luca Pintimalli or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law. Except for the limited licence to use the Service granted to you under these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.
You may delete your account at any time from the in-app Profile or by contacting [email protected]. Upon deletion we remove or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.
We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, that your activity creates a risk for the Service or for other users, or that we are required to do so by law.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Nothing in this section limits any rights you have as a consumer under Spanish or EU law that cannot be excluded by contract.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Luca Pintimalli shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
For users acting as consumers, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Service is limited to €100 (one hundred euros).
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Luca Pintimalli from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your UGC, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party. This section does not apply to consumers acting outside their trade, business or profession.
We may amend these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will notify you in-app or by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may delete your account.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without prejudice to mandatory provisions of EU consumer protection law that grant you additional rights as a consumer in your country of habitual residence.
Disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be submitted to the competent courts of Spain, except that consumers may also bring proceedings before the courts of their country of habitual residence.
Consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute-resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
For any question, complaint or legal request regarding these Terms or the Service, please write to [email protected].
