Terms of Service

Version v2026-05-03. Effective 2026-05-03.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Plifto ("the Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. The Service is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@plifto.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used to impersonate another person.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
Submit results or claim a competition record that is not yours.
Use any form of automated access, regardless of whether you are logged in, including data mining, robots, scrapers, headless browsers, screen scraping, or scripts, to access, copy, or systematically extract data from the Service. The only permitted programmatic access is via our public sitemap and any APIs we expressly document.
Use any manual process intended to monitor, copy, or systematically collect material from the Service for redistribution or competing use, except as expressly permitted.
Use the Service or its data to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine-learning model without our prior written permission.
Build, develop, or operate a competing service using data taken from the Service.
Upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that infringes the rights of others.
Use the Service to send unsolicited communications or to interfere with its operation.

4. Lifter records and competition data

The Service displays competition results derived from public sources, including the OpenPowerlifting dataset and live broadcasts via LiftingCast. These records appear on per-lifter profile pages whether or not the lifter has signed up for an account.

If you are a lifter listed on the Service and would like the corresponding profile page corrected, removed, or otherwise modified, contact privacy@plifto.com. We respond within 30 days. Removal does not delete the underlying public record at its original source.

Claiming a profile attests that the public record corresponds to you. Submitting a fraudulent claim may result in account termination and, where applicable, referral to the affected federation.

5. User content

You retain ownership of content you submit to the Service. This includes, without limitation, your display name, profile information, notes, comments, links, images, video, audio, and any other material you upload or post (collectively, "User Content").

By submitting User Content you grant Plifto a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for purposes such as resizing or transcoding), display, perform, and distribute that User Content as part of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. This license continues for as long as your User Content remains on the Service. We do not claim ownership of your User Content.

You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to submit any User Content you upload, that the User Content does not infringe the rights of any third party, and that it complies with applicable laws and these Terms. You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit and for any consequences of submitting it.

6. Service changes and availability

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and are not liable for downtime, data loss, or interruption of upstream feeds (including OpenPowerlifting and LiftingCast).

7. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that competition records are complete or error-free; they reflect the data we receive from public sources at the time of import.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Plifto and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability for direct damages is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Plifto and its operators from any claim, demand, or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your content, or your misuse of the Service.

10. Termination and account deletion

You may delete your account at any time from the settings page. When you do, the account enters a 90-day grace period during which you can reverse the deletion by signing back in. After 90 days the account is permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

If you want immediate permanent deletion (without the 90-day window), choose the "Delete immediately" option during account deletion or contact privacy@plifto.com. We honor immediate-deletion requests in line with applicable law (including GDPR Article 17 where applicable).

We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms; suspensions for violations do not include the 90-day grace.

Sections 4 (lifter records), 5 (license to user content), 7 (disclaimer), 8 (liability), 9 (indemnification), 11 (DMCA / copyright), and 14 (governing law) survive termination.

11. DMCA / copyright

We respect copyright. If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to dmca@plifto.com that includes:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its URL on the Service.
Your contact information (address, phone, email).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

We will respond promptly and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. Counter-notices may be sent to the same address.

Misrepresentation. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material on the Service is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

12. API and developer access

During the closed beta we do not offer a public API. Programmatic access requires our prior written permission. The public sitemap (/sitemap.xml) is published for search-engine indexing and may be retrieved at reasonable rates.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

Material changes — including changes to data collection, monetization, dispute resolution, governing law, or your rights under these Terms — increment the version number and require explicit re-acceptance. Active users see a full-screen prompt at next sign-in and must accept, sign out, or delete their account before continuing to use the Service.

Non-material changes — such as typographical fixes, formatting, or contact-information updates — also increment the version number but show a soft banner inviting review. Continued use after the effective date of a non-material change constitutes acceptance.

We record each acceptance event in line with the Privacy Policy.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada.
