Terms of Service

Sync Start is operated by Patten Labs, a business in Ontario, Canada.

Contact: info@patten-labs.com

Sync Start is a mobile race stopwatch. You can time a whole heat from one phone, save sessions, see ranks and splits, and export results.

By creating an account, signing in, or using the timer, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

One accept covers both documents.

You need an account to save heats, folders, and racer groups.

You can sign in with email and a password, or with Google, Apple, or Microsoft.

You are responsible for your account and for the names and bibs you enter.

Use Sync Start to time races and manage results.

Do not try to break the service, access someone else’s account, or use the app for anything unlawful in Ontario or Canada.

You must have the right to enter the racer names and bibs you save.

You own the race data you enter. We host it so the app can work.

You can export sessions. You can delete sessions, groups, and folders you created.

We aim to keep Sync Start working. We do not promise it will always be up or free of errors.

Race-day decisions are yours. Do not rely on the app as the only record if a result is disputed.

The app is provided as is. We do not give warranties of any kind, to the extent Ontario law allows that.

To the extent Ontario law allows, Patten Labs is not liable for lost times, lost data, or other losses from using or not being able to use Sync Start.

If we are liable, that liability is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the last 12 months. The app does not charge you, so that amount is zero unless you later pay us.

This cap yields to rights that Ontario or Canadian law does not allow us to limit.

We may update these terms. The new version will appear on this page.

A new version may ask you to accept again before you can use the timer or sign in.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada that apply in Ontario.

Courts in Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the law requires otherwise.
