Terms of Service for Stryked

Last Updated: August 2, 2026 (Terms version 1.0)

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Stryked ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. For how we use platform technology (location, maps, and interactions), see our Technology & Platform Use page.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Stryked is a location-based mobile application that enables users to:

• Discover and visit real-world trophy locations
• Complete challenges and earn achievements
• Share photos and experiences through Snapventures
• Compete on leaderboards and track progress
• Connect with other users and view their achievements
• Unlock and redeem optional real-world partner rewards at participating locations, where offered

3. User Accounts

3.1 Account Creation

• You must create an account to use certain features of the App
• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. In the European Economic Area (EEA), including the Netherlands, the minimum age is 16, in line with the GDPR age of digital consent for processing personal data (such as location data). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16
• If you are under 18 (or under the legal age to form a binding contract in your country), you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing you to use the App, that parent or guardian agrees to these Terms and accepts responsibility for your use of the App
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and must not share them with anyone else
• You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration

3.2 Account Security

• You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account
• You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account
• We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account

3.3 Account Termination by You

• You may delete your account at any time through the App
• Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease

3.4 Accounts, Progress, and Virtual Benefits — No Transfer or Grey-Market Trade

Your account and all associated progress, statistics, trophies, achievements, leaderboard standing, Snapventure entitlements, Partner Reward unlocks, and other in-App benefits are licensed to you personally for use within the App. You acquire no ownership rights in them and they have no cash value.

• Except through features we expressly provide (if any), you may not sell, buy, rent, lease, transfer, gift, sublicense, share, or exchange your account, credentials, or any in-App benefits for real money, cryptocurrency, goods, services, or other consideration — whether on third-party marketplaces, social media, or otherwise
• Boosting, account-recovery scams, and paid “visit on your behalf” services are prohibited
• Any attempted transfer or grey-market trade may result in immediate suspension or termination of the accounts involved and cancellation of related benefits, without obligation to refund, to the maximum extent permitted by law

3.5 Effect of Termination on Progress and Benefits

If your account is suspended, terminated, or deleted, or if we discontinue the App or a feature, you may lose access to associated progress, trophies, achievements, leaderboard positions, Snapventures, Partner Reward unlocks, and other account-linked benefits.

• These are part of your personal right to use the Service and do not constitute money, stored value, or personal property.
• Except where required by mandatory law, we are not obliged to restore, transfer, replace, or compensate you for lost or unused progress, unlocks, or account-linked benefits.
• Nothing in this section limits any statutory rights you may have regarding purchases processed by Apple.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1 Permitted Uses

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may:

• Use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes
• Share your experiences and achievements with other users
• Participate in challenges and competitions in good faith

4.2 Prohibited Activities

You agree NOT to:

• Location Spoofing: Falsify or manipulate your device location, including through GPS spoofing, mock locations, or similar techniques
• Cheating: Use bots, automation, scripts, emulators, modified clients, unofficial third-party software, or tools that intercept or alter App traffic or sensor data to gain an unfair advantage
• Account Sharing or Transfer: Share, sell, buy, trade, gift, or transfer accounts, credentials, progress, or in-App benefits (see Section 3.4)
• Technical Bypass: Bypass, disable, or interfere with security, anti-spoofing, or other technical protection measures
• Harassment: Harass, threaten, or abuse other users, including in the real world in connection with the App
• Inappropriate Content: Post offensive, illegal, or inappropriate content, including but not limited to:
  • Hate speech, discrimination, or harassment
  • Violence, threats, or intimidation
  • Sexually explicit or pornographic content
  • Content that infringes on intellectual property rights
• Impersonation: Impersonate any person or entity or falsely claim affiliation with any person or entity
• Data Mining: Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the App without authorization
• Reverse Engineering: Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent mandatory law permits
• Interference: Interfere with or disrupt the App's servers, networks, or security features
• Multiple Accounts: Create or use multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or gain unfair advantages
• Commercial Use: Use the App for any commercial purpose without our written consent, including gathering in-App progress or rewards for sale outside the App, or performing visits or services in the App in exchange for payment outside the App
• Encouraging Violations: Encourage or enable any other person to do any of the foregoing

5. Location Services and Safety

5.1 Location Tracking

Precise location while the App is in use (While Using) is necessary to discover trophies, validate physical visits, and help prevent spoofing. Background Location (Always) is never required for the core Service: denying or revoking Always only stops periodic background visit detection; the App remains playable with While Using. If you enable Always, those updates support the optional background visit-detection feature. Details on what we collect, when (foreground versus background), retention, and your device controls are set out in our Privacy Policy and Technology & Platform Use page. Location processing for core gameplay is not an optional marketing consent; see the Privacy Policy for the applicable legal bases.

• The App requires access to your device's location services to function
• You are responsible for your own safety when visiting trophy locations
• We do not guarantee the safety, accessibility, or legality of any trophy location
• Always follow local laws, regulations, and property rights when visiting locations

5.2 Safety Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: Visiting trophy locations may involve risks, including but not limited to:

• Physical injury from travel or terrain
• Exposure to dangerous or hazardous conditions
• Legal consequences for trespassing or violating property rights
• Adverse weather conditions

You acknowledge and agree that you visit trophy locations at your own risk. We are not responsible for any injuries, damages, or legal consequences resulting from your use of the App or visits to trophy locations, to the maximum extent permitted by mandatory law.

5.3 Trophy Locations: Accuracy, Access, and Curation

5.3.1 GPS and Placement Inaccuracies

The App displays locations based on GPS coordinates and external data sources. We do not guarantee that these coordinates are 100% accurate, current, or error-free. Errors in the placement of a trophy do not entitle you to compensation.

5.3.2 Private Property and User Discretion

The appearance of a virtual trophy at a particular location does not mean that location is publicly accessible. If a trophy is on private property, behind a fence, or on dangerous terrain, you must not enter that location. Your own judgment and respect for physical barriers always take precedence over what is shown in the App.

5.3.3 No Duty to Verify or Maintain Locations

We are not obliged to check, verify, or maintain in advance the physical status, accessibility, or safety of trophy locations. If you believe a location is dangerous, incorrectly placed, or on private property where access is not appropriate, please report it using the in-app report option or by emailing support@getstryked.com. Reporting helps us review and, where appropriate, correct or remove content; it does not create a guarantee of safety or accessibility.

5.4 Safe and Lawful Real-World Conduct

You agree that your use of the App is at your own risk. While using the App you will remain aware of your surroundings and will not use the App in any manner that endangers yourself or others, including while driving, cycling, or operating any vehicle or machinery.

The display of a trophy, route, map marker, partner location, or any other in-App content does not grant you any right, licence, or invitation to enter any property. You will not trespass, or attempt to access any property or location where you do not have a lawful right or permission to be. You will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, posted rules, and property rights, and you will not engage in any activity that may result in injury, death, property damage, nuisance, or liability of any kind.

If you have a dispute with any third party (including landowners, other users, or authorities) relating to your use of the App or visits to locations shown in the App, you release Stryked and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims and damages arising out of or connected with such dispute, to the maximum extent permitted by mandatory law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer or tort law.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Rights

• The App, including its design, features, and content, is owned by Stryked and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws
• Trophy locations, coordinates, maps, routes, validation logic, leaderboards, and related game data are owned by Stryked and/or its licensors. Visiting, “claiming,” completing, or appearing on leaderboards at a location does not create any property interest, exclusive right, or licence in the physical place or in the virtual location data
• You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the App without our written permission
• All trademarks, service marks, and logos are the property of their respective owners

6.2 Your Content

• You retain ownership of photos, text, and other content you upload to the App ("User Content")
• By uploading User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and technically process your User Content as needed to operate, secure, moderate, and improve the App
• This includes the right to make technical changes needed to display your User Content across devices, formats, and features, and to remove or restrict User Content where permitted by these Terms or applicable law
• We may retain backup copies for a limited period where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or service integrity
• You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant this licence
• You are responsible for ensuring your User Content does not infringe on the rights of others

6.3 Location Reports and Feedback

If you submit reports, suggestions, corrections, or other feedback about locations or content, you grant Stryked a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable licence to use that submission to operate and improve the App. You must not submit knowingly false, misleading, or unlawful location-related information.

6.4 Content Moderation and Reporting (Digital Services Act)

Because users can share photos and experiences through Snapventures and other features, Stryked acts as a hosting service under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). We are committed to addressing illegal or inappropriate User Content.

• Reporting: You can report User Content that you believe is illegal, inappropriate, harassing, or infringes copyright or other rights by emailing support@getstryked.com or using the in-app report option on Snapventures and related content
• Notice and takedown: When we receive a valid report or notice of illegal content, we may review the reported content and remove or restrict access to it without prior notice, where required or permitted by law
• Repeat violations: We may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly upload prohibited content, as described in Section 9

7. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

7.1 Purchases

• The App may offer in-app purchases, including subscriptions and one-time purchases
• All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store
• Prices are displayed in your local currency and may vary by region
• All sales are final unless required by applicable law
• Right of withdrawal (EEA consumers): If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, you generally have a 14-day right to withdraw from distance contracts for digital content. By purchasing digital content or subscriptions and requesting immediate delivery or access, you agree that the digital content or service is provided immediately and you acknowledge that you lose your statutory right of withdrawal once delivery has begun, to the extent permitted by applicable law

7.2 Subscriptions

• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID account settings
• We reserve the right to change subscription prices with reasonable notice
• Refunds are subject to Apple's refund policy

8. Partner Rewards

Some trophy routes or partner locations may offer optional real-world rewards ("Partner Rewards"), such as vouchers, discount codes, complimentary items, or other benefits supplied by independent third-party partners.

8.1 Stryked as Intermediary

• Stryked provides the App, validates whether you have met in-game unlock conditions, and facilitates QR-based redemption verification. We act as an intermediary, not as the seller, supplier, or issuer of Partner Rewards.
• The partner that offers a reward is solely responsible for providing, honouring, and fulfilling the reward at their premises or through their own systems, subject to their own terms and availability.
• Partner Rewards are not in-app purchases, digital content sold by Stryked, or lottery or gambling products. They are not processed through Apple or the App Store.

8.2 How Rewards Are Earned and Redeemed

• Unlock conditions are based on gameplay (for example, visiting specified trophies or completing a sequence). Rewards are not awarded by random chance, loot boxes, or lotteries.
• When you unlock an offer, the App may generate a QR code for you to present to the partner for redemption. Redemption is validated on our servers; partners cannot rely on screenshots or altered codes alone.
• QR codes are short-lived (typically valid for 15 minutes from generation). For sequential routes, redemption must usually occur within 24 hours of your last qualifying trophy visit, unless a different period is shown in the App or by the partner.
• Each offer can normally be redeemed once per user. Additional conditions (such as opening hours, stock limits, or partner-specific rules) may apply and are displayed where available.

8.3 No Cash Value; Non-Transferable

• Partner Rewards have no cash value, are not legal tender, and cannot be exchanged for money or in-app currency through Stryked unless a partner explicitly offers cash-equivalent settlement under their own rules.
• Rewards are linked to your account and are not transferable unless the partner expressly allows otherwise. Account and progress transfer rules in Section 3.4 also apply.
• Stryked does not refund, replace, or compensate you for unredeemed Partner Rewards except as required by mandatory consumer protection law.

8.4 Expiry, Changes, and Withdrawal of Offers

• Partners may set expiry dates, quantity limits, or other conditions shown in the App or at the point of redemption.
• We or a partner may modify, suspend, or withdraw an offer before redemption if it was misconfigured, abusive, fraudulent, unlawful, or contrary to these Terms.
• Expired or invalid QR codes cannot be redeemed. Whether you can obtain a new QR code depends on the offer rules and your continued eligibility.

8.5 Partner Refusal, Insolvency, and Unredeemed Rewards

• If a partner refuses to honour a valid redemption, is closed, becomes insolvent, or otherwise cannot fulfil a reward, Stryked is not liable for the unredeemed or unfulfilled reward beyond our reasonable efforts to help resolve the issue with the partner.
• We do not guarantee the availability, quality, safety, or fitness of any Partner Reward or of any goods or services supplied by a partner.
• If you believe you met the unlock conditions but could not redeem, contact support@getstryked.com. We will investigate in good faith but cannot compel a third party to provide goods or services outside their agreement with us.

8.6 Limitation of Liability for Partner Rewards

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stryked's liability relating to Partner Rewards is subject to the limitations in Section 10.2. Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory consumer protection law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or gross negligence).

For how we process data related to Partner Rewards, see our Privacy Policy (Section 1.7).

9. Anti-Spoofing and Enforcement

9.1 Fair Play and Anti-Cheat

Cheating is prohibited. “Cheating” means any action that attempts to or does alter or interfere with the normal operation or rules of the App, including the activities listed in Section 4.2 (such as location spoofing, bots, emulators, modified clients, account sharing or transfer, and bypassing technical measures).

• We employ automated and manual systems to detect location spoofing and cheating
• These systems may analyse movement patterns, device and sensor signals, validation outcomes, and other indicators, as further described in our Privacy Policy
• We may refuse support, restrict features, or suspend or permanently terminate accounts where we detect or reasonably suspect cheating
• We do not support use of the App on jailbroken or rooted devices, or on devices we reasonably suspect are configured to facilitate cheating
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not obliged to refund purchases or restore progress lost due to enforcement for cheating or other violations of these Terms

9.2 Enforcement Actions

If you violate these Terms, we may take one or more of the following actions:

• Temporarily suspend your account. Where our automated systems apply a suspension for suspected cheating or location spoofing, the suspension period is 24 hours
• Permanently suspend or terminate your account in serious cases (for example severe abuse), including after manual review — this is not an automated “escalation ladder” after a first temporary suspension
• Remove or modify your User Content
• Cancel improperly obtained progress or benefits
• Take legal action if necessary

9.3 Appeals

• If you believe you were incorrectly banned, you may appeal by contacting support@getstryked.com or using the in-app appeal option where available
• Ban appeals are reviewed with human involvement as described in our Privacy Policy (automated decision-making). We normally complete that review within 24 hours of receipt. Complex cases may take longer; we will notify you if that happens
• Our decision on appeals is final under these Terms, without prejudice to your mandatory rights under applicable data protection or consumer law

10. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

10.1 Service Availability

• The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind
• We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time, subject to mandatory consumer protection law for paid features

10.2 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
• Our total liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for in-app purchases in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) EUR 50
• We are not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from:
  • Your use or inability to use the App
  • Visiting trophy locations
  • Interactions with other users or third parties
  • Unauthorized access to your account
  • Errors or omissions in the App
  • Enforcement actions taken in good faith for suspected cheating or Terms violations, to the extent permitted by law

These limitations of liability apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, but do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory consumer protection law (including liability for our gross negligence or willful misconduct).

10.3 Jurisdiction-Specific Terms

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by mandatory law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Stryked, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your intentional or grossly negligent misuse of the App
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any rights of another user or third party
• Your User Content, including intellectual property or privacy claims

If you are a consumer in the EEA, this section applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer protection law and does not require you to indemnify us for our own negligence where that would be prohibited.

12. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we process, for which purposes, on which legal bases, and what choices you have. Please review it together with our Technology & Platform Use page.

13. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with third-party services, including:

• Apple Services: App Store, Sign in with Apple, in-app purchases
• Google: Sign in with Google (if you choose it)
• Apple Maps (MapKit): Map display and location-based features. Your use of map data is subject to Apple Maps Terms of Service and Apple's applicable privacy policies
• Firebase/Google: Authentication infrastructure, database, hosting, analytics

Your use of these third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

14. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms. When we make changes:

• The "Last Updated" date and Terms version at the top will be changed
• The updated Terms will be published on this page (linked from the App under Profile > About)
• For material changes that affect your rights, we will provide reasonable notice (for example by email to the address associated with your account, or through another contact channel we make available). Where required by law, we may ask you to accept the updated Terms before continued use
• If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the App and may delete your account; unpaid access ends when you stop using the App, and paid subscriptions remain subject to Apple’s cancellation and refund rules

15. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App, with or without prior notice, where reasonably necessary, including if:

• You violate these Terms
• We detect or reasonably suspect fraud, cheating, or illegal or harmful activity
• We are required to do so by law or to protect the App, our users, or third parties
• We discontinue the App or a material part of it (in which case we will provide reasonable notice where practicable, subject to mandatory consumer law for paid features)

Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease, and we may delete your account and User Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

16.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you are a consumer in the EEA, you also benefit from any mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence.

16.2 Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved through:

• Good faith negotiation — contact us at support@getstryked.com
• If negotiation fails, disputes may be brought before the competent courts of the district of Zeeland-West-Brabant, location Breda, the Netherlands, without prejudice to mandatory consumer venue rights (including your right, if you are a consumer, to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence)

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Stryked regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
