Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Life Tier List (the “Service”), operated by LAZO (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Service following any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. If you do not agree with any modification, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service.

2. Description of Service

Life Tier List is a competitive self-improvement platform and game. You log real-life habits across categories (such as training, reading, sleep, nutrition, finance, mindfulness, and others), and the Service assigns you a tier and rank based on your activity relative to other users, lets you compete on public and private leaderboards and in friend leagues, and offers optional cosmetic items and subscriptions. Some categories are verified automatically (for example via a photo challenge analyzed by AI) and others rely on social visibility within your league.

The Service is provided for entertainment, motivation, and self-tracking purposes only. Tiers, ranks, scores, streaks, and percentiles are gameplay features and do not represent any objective measurement of your health, fitness, character, worth, or abilities.

3. Health & Wellbeing Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS NOT A MEDICAL, HEALTH, FITNESS, NUTRITION, PSYCHOLOGICAL, OR MENTAL-HEALTH SERVICE, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• The Service does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified physician, dietitian, trainer, therapist, financial advisor, or other professional
• You should consult an appropriate professional before starting, changing, or stopping any exercise, diet, sleep, financial, or wellbeing routine, especially if you have any medical condition
• The competitive nature of the Service (rankings, streaks, seasons) is designed to motivate, but you are solely responsible for your own health and safety and must not pursue any habit to an unsafe, excessive, or harmful degree in order to gain rank
• We are not responsible for any injury, illness, financial loss, or other harm resulting from activities you choose to undertake, whether or not motivated by the Service

4. Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 16 years of age (the age of digital consent under Article 8 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation). Where your local law sets a higher age of digital consent, that age applies to you
• If you are under 18, have the permission of a parent or legal guardian before making any paid purchase or entering into any subscription, as you may not have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts on your own
• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it up to date
• Not be barred from using the Service under any applicable law

We reserve the right to refuse access to, or terminate, any User account for any reason or no reason at all, at our sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice.

5. User Accounts

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activities that occur under it. You agree to notify us immediately at support@lazo.build of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any losses arising from unauthorized use of your account.

Your nickname and tier are displayed publicly on leaderboards and to members of any league or community you join. Do not choose a nickname that is unlawful, offensive, impersonates another person, or infringes anyone's rights; we may reclaim or change such nicknames.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

• Cheat, falsify logs, or manipulate, inflate, or game your scores, streaks, tiers, ranks, or any leaderboard by any means
• Create or operate multiple or automated accounts, or coordinate with others, to influence rankings, leagues, communities, or peer verification
• Submit photos or content that are not your own, that depict other people (including minors) without their consent, or that are unlawful, explicit, hateful, or infringing
• Harass, threaten, abuse, dox, or spam other users in leagues, communities, or verification
• Abuse the peer-verification system, including by dishonestly approving or rejecting other users' proofs
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to derive the source code or algorithms of the Service, or use bots or automated systems to access it
• Upload viruses or malicious code, or interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, its infrastructure, or other accounts

Violation of these acceptable-use terms may result in adjustment or removal of your scores, tiers, ranks, and items, and immediate suspension or termination of your account and access, without notice or refund.

7. User Content & Photo Proofs

Certain categories may ask you to submit a “proof” — for example a photo taken in response to a randomly generated challenge, or a short written description — so the Service can verify the activity. You are solely responsible for the content you submit and represent and warrant that you own it or have all necessary rights and consents to submit it, and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

By submitting content, you grant LAZO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and process that content solely to operate, provide, verify, and secure the Service (including automated analysis by our AI verification provider and, where a proof is sampled for peer review, temporary display to members of your league). You retain ownership of your content. Photo proofs are discarded once assessed unless sampled for peer review, and sampled proofs are stored privately and automatically deleted on a rolling basis (currently within 7 days), as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may remove any content and suspend any account that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms.

8. Verification, Rankings & Fair Play

Rankings are the core of the Service, so we take their integrity seriously. Verification may be performed by automated means (including AI analysis of photos and written answers), by objective data from connected third-party apps, and by peer spot-checks within leagues. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Automated and peer verification are imperfect and may produce incorrect results; a result is not a statement about you personally
• We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, recalculate, adjust, reduce, freeze, void, or remove any score, streak, tier, rank, verification result, or reward, and may restrict or ban a user from leaderboards, where we detect or reasonably suspect cheating, manipulation, abuse, or error
• Tiers and ranks are percentile-based and relative to other users, reset periodically (for example each season), and are provided “as is” with no guarantee of accuracy, permanence, or availability
• We maintain anti-abuse measures (including automated suspicion and trust scoring) and may act on them without prior notice

9. Virtual Items, Cosmetics & Purchases

The Service may offer virtual items and features, including cosmetic customizations, avatar effects, chance-based crates, a Season Pass, and Pro or Community subscriptions. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Virtual items and features are a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use them within the Service. You do not own them, and they have no monetary or real-world value and cannot be exchanged for cash
• Crates and similar features are chance-based: you receive a randomized item and the specific item obtained is not guaranteed. Where required, indicative odds or contents are shown before purchase
• We may add, modify, balance, suspend, or remove any virtual item, feature, price, or reward at any time, and items may be lost if your account is terminated or the Service is discontinued
• Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy

10. Connected Accounts

The Service does not currently connect to any third-party fitness or activity accounts. If such a connection is ever offered, it will be optional, you will be asked for it explicitly, and this section will be updated before it goes live.

11. Intellectual Property

All content, features, functionality, software, designs, text, graphics, logos, avatars, and other intellectual property associated with the Service are and shall remain the exclusive property of LAZO and its licensors. These Terms grant you only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, and no other right, title, or interest.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LAZO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS RANKINGS, VERIFICATION RESULTS, OR OUTPUTS ARE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, OR TIMELY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. AI-generated verification results may contain errors, false positives, and false negatives.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LAZO, ITS OPERATORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, VIRTUAL ITEMS, RANK, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE.

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LAZO FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LAZO IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY EUROS (€50).

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, for consumers, mandatory statutory rights). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LAZO and its operators, owners, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or in connection with your use of the Service, your content (including photo proofs), your violation of these Terms or any law, or your violation of any third-party right. This obligation survives termination of your account and these Terms.

15. Data Handling

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service you acknowledge that your data (including photo proofs and written answers) may be processed by third-party AI and cloud infrastructure providers, and that your public profile data (nickname, tier, rank) is visible to other users, as described in the Privacy Policy.

16. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with and relies upon third-party services. We are not responsible for and make no warranties regarding any third-party service. Payment processing is handled by Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”), which acts as the Merchant of Record for all transactions. Your use of Paddle is subject to Paddle's own terms and privacy policy.

17. Subscription and Billing

Paid subscriptions (such as Pro and Community) are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis, and one-time items (such as a Season Pass or crates) are billed once, through Paddle. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are calculated and collected by Paddle as Merchant of Record and the legal seller of record.

By purchasing, you authorize Paddle to charge the applicable fees to your selected payment method, and for subscriptions, to do so on a recurring basis until you cancel. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Fees are non-refundable except as set out in our Refund Policy. We may change prices with advance notice, effective from the next billing cycle.

18. Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, at our sole discretion, with or without notice. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from your account settings, and may cancel any subscription through Paddle's customer portal (cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period).

Upon termination, your right to use the Service and any virtual items ceases, and we may delete data associated with your account within thirty (30) days, except where longer retention is required by law or described in our Privacy Policy. The Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law sections survive termination.

19. Force Majeure

LAZO shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, government actions, internet or telecommunications outages, power or server failures, cyber attacks, or failures of third-party services on which the Service depends.

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Montenegro, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Podgorica, Montenegro, and you irrevocably submit to that jurisdiction. Nothing in this section deprives you of any protection of the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence.

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith written correspondence for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the initial written notice.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and LAZO with respect to the Service and supersede all prior understandings. Any failure by LAZO to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of it.
