Terms of Use
1. About ASHA
ASHA ("we", "us", "our") is a fitness tracking application developed and operated by Lash Development Co, based in Australia. By creating an account and using ASHA, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
These terms apply to all users of ASHA, including those who access the app through a referral link or referral code.
Data collected through the app may be used by Lash Development Co to analyse usage patterns, improve existing features, and develop new functionality for ASHA over time. All data used for these purposes is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the app.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use ASHA. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.
ASHA does not permit users under the age of 18 to create an account or use the app. This restriction is in place due to the social networking features of the app (including public posts, direct messaging, friend connections, and a Discover page), and in compliance with recent changes to Australian law regarding the protection of minors online, including the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024 (Cth).
We take the safety of young people seriously. If we become aware that a user is under 18, their account will be suspended and their data deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
3. Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.
Your display name, username, and profile information may be visible to other users based on your privacy settings. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide.
Display Name & Username Changes by Lash Development Co
You agree that Lash Development Co reserves the right to change, reset, redact, or remove your display name, username, profile photo, cover photo, bio, or any other publicly-visible profile field at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice to you. Reasons we may exercise this right include (but are not limited to): names or content that are offensive, harassing, hateful, vulgar, sexually explicit, impersonating another person or entity, infringing on intellectual property, brand-impersonating ASHA or Lash Development Co, or otherwise in breach of these Terms or our community guidelines. Where reasonably possible, we will assign a placeholder name and notify you via email or in-app message after the change is made. Continuing to use ASHA constitutes acceptance of this right.
Acceptance of Terms — Record-Keeping
When you sign up for ASHA, and each time these Terms are updated and you continue to use the app, we record the date and time you accepted these Terms and Conditions, the version of the Terms accepted, and the device, IP address and country from which acceptance was made. This record is retained for the lifetime of your account and for a reasonable period afterwards for legal, audit and dispute-resolution purposes. You may request a copy of your acceptance record at any time by emailing support@ashafit.com.

6. Sharing Your Data
We share your personal data only in the following circumstances:
Other ASHA Users
If you set a workout or post to "Public", it will be visible to all ASHA users on the Discover page. Your display name, username, and profile photo will be shown alongside your public content. You can change a post to "Private" at any time, which will remove it from the Discover feed. Your profile photo, once uploaded, is publicly visible to all users and may appear in contexts shared externally to the app (see Section 13).
Referral Data
If you sign up for ASHA using a referral code or referral link, your first name (from your display name), username, and email address will be shared with the user who referred you. This allows the referring user to verify their referral and is required for the Referrer Programme to function. By using a referral code, you consent to this sharing.
Service Providers
We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate ASHA, including Supabase Inc. (database and authentication, servers located in the United States — see Section 9), payment processors, and analytics services. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and may not use your data for any other purpose.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your data if required by Australian law, court order, or a regulatory authority.
Business Transfer
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections.

If you opt in to marketing communications during signup or in your account settings, we may send you emails about:
- New ASHA features and updates.
- Special offers, discounts, and promotions.
- Fitness tips, challenges, and partner content.
We will only send marketing communications with your consent, in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). Every marketing message will include a clear and functional unsubscribe link.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Unchecking "Marketing communications" in your account settings.
- Clicking "Unsubscribe" in any marketing email.
Withdrawing consent does not affect service-related transactional messages (e.g. account creation confirmations, payment receipts).
8. Referrer Programme
The ASHA Referrer Programme allows eligible users to earn a 20% commission on subscription fees paid by users they refer to ASHA.
Eligibility
You must have an active ASHA account and complete the Referrer Programme signup, which includes providing social media handles (optional), Australian bank account details, and a valid Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business Number (ABN) for tax reporting purposes.
Earnings
Commission is calculated as 20% of each subscription payment made by a referred user while their subscription remains active. Earnings are credited to your Referrer Balance after a 30-day holding period from the payment date.
Payouts
Once the 30-day holding period has elapsed, you may submit a cashout request. Cashout requests are processed on the 3rd business day of every calendar month. Payouts are made to the bank account you provide. If a cashout request is submitted after the processing date, it will be included in the following month's batch. You are responsible for declaring referral income to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as required by law. ASHA may issue payment summaries as required.
Tax Obligations
If you earn referral income through ASHA, this income may be taxable under Australian tax law. ASHA does not provide tax advice. Please consult a registered tax agent if you are unsure of your obligations.
Referral Data Sharing
As stated in Section 6, when someone signs up using your referral link or code, their first name, username, and email address will be shared with you to confirm the referral.
Programme Termination
ASHA reserves the right to suspend or terminate your participation in the Referrer Programme if you engage in fraudulent activity, breach these Terms, or if the Programme is discontinued. Outstanding verified balances will be paid out on termination.
9. Data Storage & Overseas Transfer
ASHA stores data using Supabase Inc., a third-party database and authentication provider. Supabase servers are located in the United States (AWS ap-southeast-2, Sydney region where available).
Under the Australian Privacy Principles (APP 8), before transferring personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient handles the information in a way that is consistent with the APPs. Supabase Inc. is bound by our Data Processing Agreement and complies with international data protection standards including SOC 2 Type II.
By using ASHA, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to Supabase's servers as described above.

13. User-Generated Content
When you post workout summaries, comments, or other content and set it to "Public", that content becomes visible to all ASHA users.
You retain ownership of the content you post. By making content public, you grant ASHA a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display that content within the app.
You must not post content that is abusive, illegal, or infringes the rights of others. ASHA reserves the right to remove content that violates these Terms.

- Your profile photo is publicly displayed within the app and may be visible to all ASHA users, including on your profile page, in the feed, in search results, and alongside any public content you share.
- Your profile photo may be shared externally to the app — for example, when other users share workout posts, screenshots, or content from ASHA that includes your profile information.
- You must only upload photos that you have the right to use. You must not upload photos of other people without their consent.
Prohibited Profile Content
Profile photos must not contain any of the following:

ASHA reserves the right to remove any profile photo at any time, without prior notice, if it is deemed to violate these Terms or is otherwise inappropriate. In cases of serious or repeated violations, ASHA may suspend or permanently delete your account at its sole discretion. You will be notified by email if action is taken against your account due to profile content.
13A. Reporting Other Users
ASHA provides an in-app reporting feature that allows you to report users who you believe are violating these Terms and Conditions or engaging in behaviour that is harmful, abusive, or inappropriate.
When submitting a report, you may select from predefined categories (such as inappropriate profile photo, harassment, spam, or impersonation) and provide additional details in your own words. All reports are reviewed by the ASHA team.
By using the report feature, you agree to submit reports in good faith. Deliberately submitting false, misleading, or malicious reports may result in action being taken against your own account, including suspension or termination.
ASHA will review all reports and may take actions including, but not limited to: removing content, removing profile photos, issuing warnings, temporarily suspending accounts, or permanently deleting accounts. The outcome of a report review is at the sole discretion of ASHA and may not be disclosed to the reporting user for privacy reasons.

Key terms of the Reward Credits programme:
(a) Earning Credits
Credits are automatically awarded after every 3 consecutive paid weeks. Each free week earned counts as 1 week toward your next 3-week cycle.

Your accumulated credit balance is visible in the Settings screen of the app. Credits accrue in your account and become available as an app credit refund 30 days after they are earned.
(d) Payout
After the 30-day holding period, accrued credits are processed as a bulk app store credit refund to your original payment method. ASHA reserves the right to process payouts in batches.
(e) No Cash Value
Credits have no cash value outside the ASHA app and cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to other users, or applied to any other product or service.
(f) Tax Responsibility
Reward credits are promotional discounts, not income. However, you are responsible for understanding any tax obligations that may apply in your jurisdiction.
