terms

Last updated: July 2026

the short version

Use wax@alarma to remind yourself to wax your chain. Do not use it for anything else. Do not break it. We are not responsible if your chain wears out anyway.

the service

wax@alarma is a free service that connects to Strava and sends you email reminders when your chain needs waxing. We provide it as-is with no guarantees of uptime or accuracy. Kilometre counts are based on Strava data — if your Strava is wrong, our count is wrong.

your account

You are responsible for keeping your account secure. One account per person. Do not share your account. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that misuse the service.

strava connection

By connecting Strava you grant wax@alarma read access to your activity data. We only read distance. You can revoke access at any time from your Strava settings or from your wax@alarma settings page.

limitation of liability

wax@alarma is not liable for worn chains, missed reminders, email delivery failures or any damage arising from use of the service. Wax your chain. We remind you. The rest is up to you.

changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept them. We will notify you by email of significant changes.
