This agreement governs your use of the Media Analysis feature on FencerIQ (fenceriq.ai). By uploading a video or clicking "Analyze Video," you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
This document is written in plain language by design. We want every athlete, parent, and coach to understand exactly what this feature does, what it cannot do, and how to get the most out of it.
Part 1 — What the Feature Does
1.1 How it works
When you upload a video clip, FencerIQ sends it to the SaFE Vision Engine — a large AI model capable of analyzing motion, posture, and athletic technique from video. The engine watches the full clip and returns a structured analysis that FencerIQ formats and displays to you.
The analysis includes:
- An overview of what the engine observed in the clip
- A single most important focus for the week ahead
- Specific strengths observed, with context
- Corrections with timestamps, severity ratings, and coaching cues
- Scores across relevant FencerIQ dimensions (e.g. Technical, Fitness, Tactical)
- Drill recommendations tailored to the corrections identified
1.2 What makes it genuinely useful
Unlike generic sports apps that give the same advice to everyone, the analysis is based on your actual video. The corrections reference specific moments (e.g. "0:19-0:21") and describe what was observed at that moment. The coaching cues are fencing-specific and weapon-aware — sabre, foil, and epee athletes receive different context.
The dimension scores feed into your FencerIQ SaFE development profile alongside your self-assessments. Over time, repeated analyses of the same technique area create a trend line — you can see your Technical score improve as your corrections are addressed.
Part 2 — Technology Limitations
2.1 Known limitations
| Limitation | What this means for you |
|---|---|
| Clip-based only | The engine analyzes what is visible in the clip you uploaded. It has no knowledge of your training history, prior injuries, tactical context, or what your opponent was doing. |
| No fatigue detection | The AI cannot tell whether a technical flaw is a habit or caused by end-of-bout fatigue. |
| Camera angle matters | Analysis accuracy is directly tied to video quality. Film from the side or at 45 degrees with the full body in frame for best results. |
| Single perspective | Even a well-filmed clip shows one angle. A front knee angle that appears correct from the side may reveal other issues from a front-on angle. |
| Strengths are less precise | The corrections section is the most reliable part. The strengths section reflects genuine observations but is less specific. |
| Short clips only | Clips are capped at 90 seconds for individual plans. The AI performs best on focused 5-30 second sequences. |
| No opponent analysis | Tactical decisions are made in response to an opponent. The AI cannot distinguish habit from situational response. |
| AI confidence is not displayed | A correction stated with the same tone may be highly reliable or moderately reliable. When in doubt, verify with a coach. |
2.2 What this means in practice
Use the analysis to identify where to focus. Use your coach to understand why the issue exists and how to fix it in the context of your complete game.
Part 3 — How to Use This Feature Correctly
3.1 Before you upload
- Choose a focused clip. A single lunge sequence, a 30-second footwork drill, or a specific exchange gives the AI a clear subject.
- Film from the side or 45 degrees. Full body in frame. Stable camera. Good lighting.
- Select the right analysis type. Lunge Mechanics, Footwork, Guard & Distance, or Match Review.
- Use the Notes field. Write what you want the AI to focus on — this steers the analysis toward what matters to you.
3.2 When you receive results
- Read the corrections first. They are the most reliable part of the output.
- Check the timestamps. Go back to your video and watch the specific moment cited.
- Share with your coach. The corrections are designed to be coach-readable.
- Use the drills. They address the specific issues observed in your clip.
- Ask Wolfy. The Wolfy button opens a conversation pre-loaded with your results for personalized follow-up.
3.3 What not to do
- Do not treat dimension scores as your official competitive standing.
- Do not make significant technique changes based on a single analysis.
- Do not upload match footage from sanctioned competitions without confirming permission.
- Do not rely on this feature for injury assessment. Consult a sports medicine professional.
Part 4 — Acceptable Use Policy
4.1 Permitted uses
- Personal fencing technique review for the account holder and their registered athletes.
- Coach review of athlete technique with consent of the athlete (and parent/guardian if minor).
- Club-level training support as part of an active FencerIQ club subscription.
4.2 Prohibited uses
- Uploading video of any person without their knowledge and consent.
- Uploading video of minors without explicit written parental or guardian consent.
- Uploading content that is not fencing-related or athletic training footage.
- Uploading video that depicts unsafe, inappropriate, or illegal activity.
- Attempting to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract the underlying AI analysis methodology.
- Sharing, selling, or commercially redistributing analysis outputs as a standalone product.
- Using the feature to generate content intended to harm, embarrass, or misrepresent another athlete.
4.3 Enforcement
FencerIQ uses both automated detection and manual review. Repeated violations will result in suspension of Media Analysis access. Three automated flags in a calendar month trigger an automatic review.
Part 5 — Data and Privacy
5.1 What we store
- Your uploaded video is stored in Cloudflare R2 (US-based storage). Videos are automatically deleted after 90 days. You will receive a notification before deletion.
- The structured analysis results (corrections, scores, drills) are stored indefinitely as part of your development history. You can request deletion at any time.
- Video goes from your device directly to cloud storage. FencerIQ does not store raw video frames on its own servers.
5.2 Third-party AI processing
When FencerIQ sends your video for analysis, Google's Gemini Vision API processes the video under Google's standard API terms. FencerIQ uses the paid API, which means your data is not used to train future AI models under Google's current API terms. For the most current Google API data usage policies, visit ai.google.dev/terms.
5.3 Your rights
- You can request a copy of all analysis results at any time by contacting support@fenceriq.ai.
- You can request deletion of your video and analysis data at any time.
- You can request deletion of your entire account, which removes all stored data.
Part 6 — Subscription, Quotas, and Billing

Part 7 — Liability and Disclaimer
ExaDreams LLC and FencerIQ make no warranty that the analysis is complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular training purpose. Results may vary depending on video quality, clip content, camera angle, lighting conditions, and the inherent limitations of AI vision technology.
FencerIQ is not liable for any training decisions made in reliance on the analysis, any injury sustained during the execution of recommended drills, any competitive outcome, or any technical regression resulting from acting on AI-generated feedback.
Part 8 — Changes to This Agreement
FencerIQ may update this agreement as the technology evolves. We will notify users via email and in-platform notification at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the feature after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
