Second Gear
The plain terms
Last updated: 25 October 2026. These terms are between you and Mindful Runner (Pty) Ltd, a company registered in South Africa ("we", "us"). By using Second Gear you agree to them. Apple's or Google's standard terms for apps also apply.
Not medical advice
Second Gear is general information and education. It is not medical advice and doesn't replace your doctor. Before you start any exercise, eating change or supplement, get your doctor's okay, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, take medicine, or have allergies or intolerances. You are responsible for checking labels and choosing what suits you. Stop and get help if something feels wrong. The evidence labels reflect research at the time of writing, and research changes. You use this plan at your own risk.
If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your doctor or emergency services straight away.
Your subscription
- Second Gear is an annual subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. The price is shown in the app before you buy.
- New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, the store charges the annual price.
- The subscription renews each year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You manage and cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel it.
- Founding price: if you subscribe at the founding price, you keep that price for as long as your subscription renews without a break.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
Gift codes
Gift codes are redeemed in the App Store or Google Play and give a year of Second Gear. A code can be used once and cannot be exchanged for cash.
Your diary
Your diary is kept on your phone, not by us. We can't recover it if your phone is lost and not backed up. Use your phone's backup or Settings, Keep a copy. See the privacy policy.
Using the app
We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use Second Gear on your own devices while your subscription is active. Please don't copy, resell or republish the content. The words, plans, illustrations and the brain frog belong to Mindful Runner (Pty) Ltd and Debbie van der Linde.
Changes to the plan
We update and improve the content from time to time. We aim to keep the app working, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or injury arising from using Second Gear, including from following its exercise, food or supplement suggestions. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including under the Consumer Protection Act.
