Effective 9 September 2026
VELOREACT ("the app") is published by The Bullpen Training ("we", "us", "our"). These terms are an agreement between you and us. By downloading or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Plain-language summary, which does not replace the terms below: the app is a calculator. It does arithmetic on numbers you type in. It is not a coach and it cannot see your field, so every decision about how to train — and how safely — is yours. We provide it as-is and our liability is limited.
1. What the app does
You enter a pitch speed and a distance. The app reports how long the ball takes to reach the plate, and what speed thrown from a regulation 60'6" mound would take the same time to arrive. It calls that the reaction-time equivalent velocity.
It performs arithmetic on numbers you provide. It does not measure anything, does not watch your training, and knows nothing about your equipment, your field, the people present, or their ability.
2. What the app is not
The app is not:
- a coach or an instructor, or a substitute for either;
- medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or injury-risk advice of any kind;
- a measuring device, or a source of data about any real pitch;
- a recommendation that any particular drill, distance or velocity is appropriate, safe or beneficial for any particular person.
Using the app does not create a coach–athlete, instructor–student, medical or other professional relationship between us.
3. Training carries risk
Baseball and softball training carries an inherent risk of serious injury, including from thrown balls, batted balls and pitching machines. That risk increases as the distance between machine and hitter is reduced, and reducing that distance is what this app is about.
You accept and assume all risk arising from any training you conduct, supervise or take part in, whether or not you used the app in planning it. You are solely responsible for:
- whether a drill suits the people taking part;
- the distances, speeds and equipment you actually use;
- protective equipment, including screens, and placing it correctly;
- adult supervision of anyone under 18, at all times;
- the condition and safe operation of any pitching machine;
- following the rules of any league, facility or organization you belong to.
A number the app can display is not a distance we suggest you use. See our Safety page for the guidance the app shows on first launch.
4. Adults and minors
The app is made for adults: coaches, instructors and parents. It collects no information from anyone (see our Privacy Policy), and it is safe for a child to read. But it is not designed to be operated by a child without an adult present, and the training it describes must never be carried out by minors unsupervised.
If you let someone under 18 use the app, you do so as the responsible adult and you accept these terms on their behalf.
5. The app is provided as-is
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that its calculations are accurate for any purpose, or that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free. The model is deliberately simple: it assumes constant velocity in a straight line and ignores drag, movement, pitcher extension and hitter biomechanics. A real baseball loses roughly ten percent of its speed on the way to the plate. The app tells you this, and you accept it.
Some places do not allow these exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
6. Limits on our liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the app.
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the greater of what you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or twenty-five US dollars.
This applies whatever the legal theory, and even if we were warned the damage was possible. Some places do not allow these limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
7. You cover claims arising from your training
You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any claim, demand, loss or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the app, from any training you conduct or supervise, or from your breach of these terms.
8. Links out, and buying things
The Shop tab and the social links open your browser and leave the app. Anything you buy is bought on our website, under that site's own terms and policies, not these. The app itself sells nothing and takes no payment. Purchases on the website are not transactions with Apple.
9. Artwork and names
The app's artwork, including the bullpen illustration and the VELOREACT wordmark, was created by us using generative AI tools under terms permitting commercial use. It is not licensed from anyone else. Because material generated by AI without sufficient human authorship is not protected by copyright in the United States, we make no claim of copyright in those images. Nothing here gives you a license to use our names or marks.
10. Apple
These terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple has no obligation to support the app and is not responsible for any claim relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms against you as third-party beneficiaries.
11. Florida law, and how disputes are handled
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute not covered by the arbitration section below belongs exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the county of our principal place of business in Florida, and you agree to that court's jurisdiction.
Individual arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the app or these terms will be settled by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Either of us may still bring an individual claim in small claims court.
No class actions. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. Neither of us may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding, and an arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable, the arbitration section above does not apply and the dispute goes to the Florida courts named above.
You can opt out. You may reject the arbitration section by emailing support@thebullpentraining.com within 30 days of first using the app. If you do, the Florida courts named above handle any dispute, and the rest of these terms still apply.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we make a material change we will describe it in the app's release notes and change the effective date above. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the new version.
