Terms of service
Welcome to SetList. These terms are a real agreement between you and SetList, a service operated by an independent developer in the United States. We have written them in plain English on purpose. Please actually read them, especially the exercise and health disclaimer, which matters more than anything else here.
Our privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we handle it, and is part of these terms.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By creating an account or using SetList, you agree to these terms. The sign-in screen links to them before you continue. If you do not agree, do not use SetList.
2. What SetList is
SetList turns workout videos into structured, followable workouts. You paste a link to a workout video (YouTube or TikTok), or, for platforms that do not allow automated fetching, such as Instagram, paste the post's caption or upload the video file. SetList uses AI to extract the exercises, sets, reps, and video timestamps into a workout you can run with a timer, log, and track over time. You can also build your own workouts from an exercise library.
SetList is a tool for organizing workouts you already have access to. It is not a content library, a coaching service, or a medical service.
3. Accounts and eligibility
You need an account to use SetList. You can sign in with Google or with an email magic link. Your workouts, history, and custom exercises sync to your account.
You must be at least 13 years old to use SetList. If you are under 18, you may use SetList only if a parent or guardian reviews and agrees to these terms on your behalf.
You are responsible for your account. Keep your email account secure, since anyone who controls your email can sign in as you. Give us accurate information and do not impersonate anyone else.
4. Acceptable use
SetList is for your own personal training use. When you use it, you agree to some common-sense rules:
- Only import or upload content you have the right to view. Do not import content that is private, pirated, or that you obtained by getting around someone's access controls. You are responsible for making sure your use of imported content respects the source platform's terms and the creator's rights.
- Do not abuse the service. That includes scraping SetList itself, hammering our API, evading rate limits, probing for security holes, or using automated tools to bulk-extract workouts.
- Do not resell SetList or its output. Do not repackage extracted workouts, re-hosted media, or any part of the service as your own product.
- Do not use SetList to harass anyone, infringe anyone's rights, or break the law.
We enforce rate limits to keep the service healthy. Working around them is a violation of these terms.
5. Creator content and attribution
SetList is built to respect the people who make workout videos.
- Attribution stays attached. For link imports, every extracted exercise keeps the creator's handle, platform, and a link to the original video, and source titles are used verbatim where the platform provides them. For file uploads, attribution is kept where you provide it. We do not strip credit, and you should not either.
- YouTube videos stay on YouTube. When you import a YouTube video, the video continues to live on and play through YouTube; SetList links you to the right moment. For some imports, such as Instagram, SetList stores a private copy of the media solely so it can keep playing it back to you after the platform's own links expire. That copy is private to your account's use, not a public library.
- Your uploads and re-hosted media are private. They are stored privately and are never published, shared with other users, or made publicly browsable. Playback requires a signed-in session, and our service providers process this media only to provide the service, as described in the privacy policy.
SetList does not claim ownership of creators' content, and using SetList does not give you any rights to it beyond what the creator and their platform already allow.
6. Your content
You keep ownership of anything you upload or create in SetList, including uploaded videos, custom workouts, and workout logs.
So that the app can actually work, you give us a limited license to store, process, and transmit your content solely to operate, secure, and improve the service, and as required by law. That covers things like storing your uploaded video, sending it to our AI providers for extraction (they process it under their own terms solely to provide the service), streaming it back to you during a workout, and syncing your data across your devices. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in routine backups that age out on their own schedule.
One detail worth knowing: your workout history keeps a snapshot of workouts you completed, so your history survives deleting a workout itself. Snapshots are removed when the session or your account is deleted.
You are responsible for what you upload. Do not upload content you have no right to use.
7. AI accuracy
SetList's extraction is powered by AI, and AI makes mistakes. Extraction is best-effort: it can miss an exercise, get a rep count wrong, mislabel a timestamp, or misread what is happening in a video.
That is why SetList shows you the extracted workout for review before you save it. You are responsible for reviewing it and confirming it makes sense before you train with it. The extracted output is an organizational aid, not professional programming, and SetList is not a coach. Nothing SetList produces is professional fitness, coaching, or medical advice.
8. Exercise and health disclaimer
Please read this section carefully. It is the most important one in these terms.
Physical exercise carries a real risk of injury, and in rare cases serious injury or death. Workouts you import or build through SetList were made by third-party creators for a general audience, not for you specifically. Neither those creators nor SetList knows your health status, fitness level, or physical limitations.
Talk to a physician before starting any exercise program, especially if you have a medical condition, an injury, are pregnant, or have not exercised in a while.
SetList is not medical advice. Nothing in the app, including extracted workouts, timers, coach cues pulled from creators' own words, and exercise demos, is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Listen to your body. Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or anything that feels wrong, and seek medical help if you need it.
You exercise at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you accept full responsibility for any injury or harm resulting from your use of workouts accessed through SetList.
9. Copyright complaints and our DMCA designated agent
SetList has designated an agent to receive notices of claimed copyright infringement, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under registration number DMCA-1078138:
DMCA Agent
SetList
3824 Scott Street
San Francisco, CA 94123
United States
Phone: (510) 560-6806
Email: dmca@usesetlist.com
If you believe content available through SetList infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at dmca@usesetlist.com with: (1) identification of the copyrighted work; (2) identification of the material you believe infringes it and where it appears; (3) your contact information; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.
If your complaint is valid, we will remove or disable access to the material and notify the user who provided it. That user may send a counter-notification with their contact information, identification of the removed material, and a statement under penalty of perjury that they believe the removal was a mistake; if we receive one, we may restore the material unless you tell us you have filed a court action. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
10. Service changes and availability
SetList is provided as-is and as-available. It is an actively developed app run by a small operation, and that means:
- Features may change, improve, or be removed.
- Imports and uploads are rate-limited to keep the service affordable and stable, and limits may change.
- The service depends on third parties (AI providers, hosting, the platforms videos live on). If a platform changes what it allows, features that depend on it may change too.
- We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service, though we genuinely try.
We recommend not treating SetList as your only copy of anything irreplaceable.
11. Termination
You can stop using SetList at any time, and you can delete your account in-app, which removes your account, your data, and the media linked to it as described in the privacy policy.
We can suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, abuse the service, or use it unlawfully. Where reasonable, we will tell you why. We can also discontinue the service entirely, and if we do, we will make reasonable efforts to give you notice so you can retrieve your data first.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (like the health disclaimer, liability limits, indemnification, and IP provisions) survive it.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
We build SetList carefully, but we have to be honest about what a free consumer app can promise.
Disclaimer of warranties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SetList is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of AI output, and uninterrupted availability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SetList and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or personal injury arising from your use of the service. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is capped at the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim.
What this does not do. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or any statutory consumer rights you have that cannot be waived.
13. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless SetList and its operator from third-party claims, and reasonable costs arising from them, to the extent caused by content you upload or import, your violation of these terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
14. If you use SetList on Apple devices
When SetList is distributed through Apple's App Store, a few extra points apply: these terms are between you and SetList's operator, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for SetList or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app, and is not responsible for addressing any product, legal, or IP-infringement claims relating to it; those are handled by us under these terms. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo and are not on any US government restricted-parties list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by United States law and the law of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If the law where you live gives you the right to bring claims locally, nothing here takes that away.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as SetList evolves. If we make a material change, we will give you reasonable notice, such as a notice in the app or an email, and may ask you to accept the updated terms before continuing. The effective date at the top always tells you when the current version started applying. If you keep using SetList after a change takes effect, that means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the service and delete your account.
17. General
If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about SetList. If we do not enforce a provision right away, we are not waiving it. You may not assign this agreement; we may assign it in connection with a transfer of the service, as described in the privacy policy.
