Terms of Use

These terms apply to the Degree Daddy app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (“the app”) and to degreedaddy.com (“the website”). Degree Daddy is owned and operated by Outergy Group, LLC (“we”, “us”). By using the app or the website, you agree to these terms.

1. Your License to the App

The app is licensed to you, not sold, under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). These terms add to the Standard EULA. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA controls for the app.

2. Health and Safety

• Not medical advice — Nothing in the app or on the website, including articles and encouragement messages, is medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting cold or heat exposure, especially if you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or another medical condition.
• Know your limits — Cold water can cause cold shock, loss of breathing control, and hypothermia. Heat can cause dehydration, fainting, and heat illness. Stop at once if you feel unwell. Avoid alcohol before or during a session, and do not plunge or use a sauna alone when you can avoid it.
• Session times are yours to choose — Default times, milestones, and encouragement messages are not safety recommendations.

3. Safety Check Alarm

The Safety Check Alarm is a reminder that your chosen time has passed. It does not monitor you and does not contact anyone, including emergency services. It may not sound or vibrate if your device is muted, in a Focus mode, out of battery, or out of reach, or if you have not granted alarm permission. Do not rely on it for your safety.

4. Apple Watch

Follow Apple’s guidance for wearing Apple Watch in heat and water. Apple rates Apple Watch Ultra for saunas up to 55°C (130°F); other models aren’t rated for sauna heat; see About Apple Watch water resistance and Apple Watch operating temperatures. You can always time a sauna from your iPhone instead. Heart rate readings are for your information only and can be less accurate in the cold.

5. Third-Party Services

The app works with services we do not control, including Apple Health, iCloud, Apple Maps, and Strava. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Degree Daddy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Strava, Inc. or Apple Inc. Strava is a trademark of Strava, Inc. Apple, Apple Watch, Apple Health, and iCloud are trademarks of Apple Inc.

When you push a session to Strava, it becomes a Strava activity that is visible according to your Strava privacy settings. You can edit or delete it on Strava.

6. Your Data

Your sessions belong to you. How the app handles them is described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Using the Website

You may read and share the website’s content for personal, non-commercial use. Do not copy it wholesale, attempt to disrupt the website, or access it in a way that breaks the law.

8. No Warranty

To the extent permitted by law, the app and the website are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including that they will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that data will sync to Apple Health, iCloud, or Strava.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Outergy Group, LLC is not liable for any injury, illness, loss of data, or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app or the website, including your cold plunge and sauna sessions. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the app or the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.
