Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the products provided by Xluma, operated by Sudip Bala, including the Xluma Live results website, the Timekeeper mobile app, and the Timekeeper Watch Connect Garmin watch app (together, the "Products"). By using the Products you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Products.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Products. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Products only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Products you confirm you meet these requirements.

2. What the Products do

The Products provide race registration linking, live GPS tracking, leaderboards, maps, split and pace estimates, estimated finish times, and event results for running events. Some features depend on an event organizer using Xluma to time the event, on you being a registered participant, and on a working data connection.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

4. Live tracking and results are best-effort

Live positions, maps, pace, and estimated finish times are estimatesgenerated from GPS and timing data and may be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable due to GPS conditions, device limitations, battery, or connectivity. Live data is provided "as is" for convenience and is not an official result. Official timing and results are determined by the event organizer and their timing systems. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

5. Safety

Your safety is your responsibility. Do not operate or look at your phone or watch in a way that distracts you or endangers you or others while moving, running, or in traffic. Follow event rules and the instructions of organizers and officials. The Products are not safety or emergency devices and must not be relied on as such.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Track under a bib that is not yours, or impersonate another participant.
• Submit false, manipulated, or misleading location or timing data.
• Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Products or their systems.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or misuse the Products except as permitted by law.
• Use the Products to violate any law or the rights of others.

7. Battery and device use

Continuous GPS tracking and live streaming consume significant battery and may affect device performance. You are responsible for your device, its battery, and any data charges. The watch app uses the device's positioning and communications features and runs in the foreground during a race.

8. Third-party services

The Products work with third-party services, including Garmin Connect IQ, Google Sign-In, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and (optionally) Strava. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Xluma is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Garmin, Google, or Strava, and using their names is solely to describe compatibility.

9. Intellectual property

The Products, including their software, design, and content (excluding your data and event data), are owned by Xluma or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Products for their intended purpose. You retain rights to data you provide.

10. Disclaimers

The Products are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that results, times, positions, or estimates are accurate, complete, or reliable.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Xluma and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Products. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Products is limited to the amount you paid us for the Products in the 12 months before the claim, or, where no payment was made, to USD 50.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Xluma and its operators from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Products or violation of these Terms or the rights of others.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Products and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Products or our users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India (State of West Bengal), without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
