2. LICENSE GRANT AND SCOPE

2.1 Licence Grant. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Shiftwave grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on compatible devices solely in connection with your authorised use of the Chair.

2.2 Permitted Devices. You may install the Control App on one (1) iPad at a time and the Companion App on up to two (2) mobile devices associated with your Shiftwave account.

(h)   use the Software in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations.

4. HEALTH DATA AND BIOMETRIC PROCESSING

THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW YOUR HEALTH DATA IS PROCESSED. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

4.1 Nature of Data Collected. The Digital Services collect Health Data through the pulse oximeter and biofeedback sensors integrated with the Chair. This includes heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements taken during sessions. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and equivalent legislation, this data constitutes special category data (health data) under Article 9 and requires specific legal protections.

4.2 Purpose of Health Data Processing. Your Health Data is processed for the following purposes:

(a)   to operate the BioDrive real-time biofeedback system during sessions, enabling the Chair to adapt protocol intensity based on your physiological responses;

(b)   to display real-time health metrics to you on the Control App during sessions;

(c)   to enable the AI Coach to analyse your Health Data and Session Data over time and generate personalised protocol recommendations (see Section 5);

(d)   to provide you with historical health insights through the Companion App (Mini Lab insights);

(e)   to sync session and health data between the Control App and Companion App when your accounts are linked; and

(f) to improve the effectiveness and safety of the Digital Services through aggregated, de-identified analysis.

4.3 Explicit Consent Required. Because Health Data is special category data, we require your explicit consent before we begin processing it. When you first use the Digital Services, you will be presented with a clear, specific consent request that explains what Health Data we collect, why we collect it, and how it will be used. You must affirmatively opt in before any Health Data processing begins. This consent is separate from your acceptance of this Agreement and from any general terms of consent.

4.4 Withdrawing Consent. You may withdraw your consent to Health Data processing at any time through the Settings menu in either app, or by contacting us at info@shiftwave.co. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. If you withdraw consent, the biofeedback and AI Coach features will be disabled, but you may continue to use the Chair with manual protocol selection.

4.5 Data Storage and Security. Health Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit. Session data is stored locally on your device and synchronised to Shiftwave's cloud infrastructure only when you enable account syncing. Our cloud infrastructure is hosted by Supabase with data centers in the United States. For details on international transfers and safeguards, please refer to the Shiftwave Privacy Policy.

4.6 Data Retention. Health Data associated with your account is retained for as long as your account remains active. Session-level Health Data (individual readings) is retained for twenty-four (24) months from the date of the session, after which it is automatically aggregated and de-identified. Aggregated insights derived from your data are retained for the life of your account. Upon account deletion, all personally identifiable Health Data is deleted within thirty (30) days, except where retention is required by law.

4.7 No Medical Use. The Digital Services are designed for general wellness purposes only. Health Data displayed by the Digital Services is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. The Digital Services are not a medical device and have not been evaluated or approved by any medical regulatory authority. You should not make medical decisions based on data provided by the Digital Services. If you have concerns about your health, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

5. AI COACH AND AUTOMATED PROFILING

5.1 How the AI Coach Works. The AI Coach uses automated processing to evaluate your Health Data, Session Data, and stated wellness goals to generate personalised protocol recommendations. Specifically, the AI Coach analyses patterns in your heart rate, HRV, and SpO2 readings across sessions; considers your session frequency, duration, and selected protocols; incorporates your stated wellness goals and preferences; and generates recommendations for protocols, session intensity, and session scheduling that are tailored to your profile.

5.2 This Constitutes Profiling. Under GDPR Article 4(4), the AI Coach's analysis of your personal data to evaluate aspects of your health and personal preferences constitutes profiling. We are transparent about this: the AI Coach profiles you to provide a personalised experience. This profiling involves special category data (Health Data).

5.3 Human Oversight and Your Rights. AI Coach recommendations are suggestions only. You retain full control over which protocols you select, and you are never required to follow AI Coach recommendations. You have the right to:

(a)   request an explanation of how any specific recommendation was generated, including which data inputs were most significant;

(b)   request human review of any AI Coach recommendation by contacting info@shiftwave.co;

(c)   express your point of view and contest any recommendation;

(d)   opt out of AI Coach profiling entirely through the Settings menu in either app, without affecting your ability to use the Chair with manual protocol selection; and

(e)   request deletion of your AI Coach profile data at any time.

5.4 Limitations. The AI Coach does not make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. Its recommendations do not restrict your access to any feature or service. If Shiftwave changes the AI Coach's functionality in a way that would produce legal or similarly significant effects, we will obtain your explicit consent before implementing such changes.

6. DIGITAL CONTENT: FUNCTIONALITY, COMPATIBILITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY

6.1 Functionality. The Digital Services provide the following core functionality: real-time biofeedback display during Chair sessions via the Control App; operation and control of Chair protocols including over seventy (70) guided protocols; AI-driven personalised protocol recommendations via the AI Coach; session history tracking, health metric trends, and Mini Lab insights via the Companion App; cross-device synchronisation of session and health data; and multiple user profile management including Guest Mode.

6.2 Compatibility Requirements. The Control App requires an iPad running iPadOS [MINIMUM VERSION] or later. The Companion App requires iOS [MINIMUM VERSION] or Android [MINIMUM VERSION] or later. Both apps require Bluetooth [VERSION] capability for connection to the Chair via the ShiftLink module. An internet connection is required for account creation, data synchronisation, AI Coach functionality, and software updates. Offline functionality is limited to previously downloaded protocols with local data storage only.

6.3 Interoperability. The Digital Services are designed to work exclusively with the Shiftwave Chair and are not interoperable with third-party wellness devices, health platforms, or data export formats unless otherwise stated. Data portability is available through the DSAR mechanisms described in the Shiftwave Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance page.

6.4 Updates. Shiftwave will provide updates to the Software that are necessary to maintain conformity with this Agreement and with the specifications described in this Section 6. Such updates will be provided at no additional cost. You will be informed of available updates and the consequences of not installing them. If you choose not to install an update, and the lack of that update causes a conformity defect, Shiftwave shall not be liable for the resulting defect, provided the non-installation was not caused by inadequate installation instructions from Shiftwave.

7. MODIFICATIONS AND CONTINUITY OF SERVICE

7.1 Modifications Beyond Updates. We may modify the Digital Services beyond what is necessary for maintaining conformity only where: (a) this Agreement provides a valid reason for the modification; (b) the modification is made at no additional cost to you; (c) you are informed clearly and comprehensibly of the modification on a durable medium in advance; and (d) for modifications that negatively impact your access to or use of the Digital Services, you are given at least thirty (30) days' advance notice and the right to terminate this Agreement free of charge within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or of the modification, whichever is later.

7.2 Valid Reasons for Modification. Valid reasons for modifying the Digital Services include: adapting the Digital Services to a new technical environment or to an increased number of users; adapting the Digital Services to comply with changes in applicable law or regulatory guidance; addressing security vulnerabilities; and incorporating material improvements to functionality, provided the core biofeedback, protocol, and AI Coach features are maintained.

7.3 Discontinuation. Shiftwave will not discontinue the Digital Services in their entirety while the Chair remains within its conformity guarantee period (see Section 9). If Shiftwave intends to discontinue any material feature of the Digital Services after the conformity period, it will provide at least ninety (90) days' prior written notice, make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative means of accessing affected functionality, and ensure that you can export your data in a machine-readable format before discontinuation.

7.4 Offline Fallback. If the Digital Services become unavailable due to discontinuation or service interruption, the Chair's core mechanical functions (pulsed pressure waves, whole-body vibration) will continue to operate independently. Protocol selection may be limited to locally stored protocols in offline mode.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Ownership. The Software, Digital Services, and all related intellectual property rights are and remain the exclusive property of Shiftwave or its licensors. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8.2 Your Data. You retain all rights in and to your personal data, Health Data, and Session Data. The license you grant to Shiftwave to process this data is limited to the purposes set out in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, and is revocable by withdrawing consent as described in Section 4.4.

8.3 Feedback. If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Digital Services, Shiftwave may use such feedback without restriction or obligation to you. This does not affect your rights in your personal data.

9. CONFORMITY GUARANTEE AND REMEDIES

9.1 Conformity Standard. Shiftwave warrants that the Digital Services will conform to the descriptions in this Agreement, be fit for the purposes for which digital content or services of the same type would normally be used, and possess the qualities and performance capabilities that are normal for digital content or services of the same type and that you may reasonably expect.

9.2 Conformity Period. For the Digital Services supplied on a continuous basis (including the AI Coach, sync features, and cloud-based functionality), the conformity guarantee applies for the entire period of supply. For one-off digital content (such as downloadable protocols), the conformity guarantee applies at the time of supply.

9.3 Remedies for Lack of Conformity. If the Digital Services do not conform to this Agreement, you are entitled to have them brought into conformity free of charge within a reasonable time, without significant inconvenience to you. If bringing the Digital Services into conformity is impossible or disproportionate, or if Shiftwave fails to do so, you are entitled to a proportionate reduction in the price paid for the Digital Services or, for a significant lack of conformity, termination of this Agreement.

9.4 Relationship to Chair Warranty. This conformity guarantee for the Digital Services is separate from and in addition to any warranty or legal guarantee applicable to the Chair hardware. For the Chair's legal guarantee of conformity, please refer to the Terms of Service and, for EU/EEA/UK consumers, the EU/EEA/UK Addendum to the Terms of Service.
