Terms of Service

Last updated: April 14, 2025  ·  Version 1.0

Please read these Terms carefully before using WalkRace. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1 Who We Are

WalkRace ("the Service", "the App") is operated by AppJuice ("we", "us", "our"), reachable at legal@walkrace.appjuice.it. The Service is a mobile application that reads step-count data from Apple HealthKit, synchronises it with our servers, and enables users to compete in leaderboards, join groups, and participate in walking challenges.

2 Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use WalkRace. If you are between 16 and 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By registering, you represent that you meet these age requirements.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts if we have reason to believe the user does not meet the minimum age requirement, without prior notice and without liability.

3 Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at legal@walkrace.appjuice.it if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.

You may not create multiple accounts, impersonate another person, or use a username that is offensive, misleading, or violates the rights of third parties. We reserve the right to reclaim or modify usernames that violate these rules.

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorised it.

4 Health Data and HealthKit

WalkRace is not a medical device. Step count data, distance estimates, and calorie calculations are provided for general fitness and entertainment purposes only. They must not be used to make medical, clinical, or health-related decisions.

By granting HealthKit permission, you authorise WalkRace to read your step-count data from Apple Health and synchronise it with our servers for the purpose of powering leaderboards, achievements, and challenges.

We do not share your health data with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes. Health data is used solely to operate the core features of the Service.

Step counts, distances, and calorie values displayed in the app are estimates derived from device sensors and may contain inaccuracies. We make no warranty regarding their accuracy. Rankings and leaderboard positions are computed from this data and may therefore be imprecise.

You may revoke HealthKit permission at any time through your device's Privacy & Security settings. Revoking permission will prevent the app from updating your data; your account will remain active but your rankings will no longer be updated.

5 User Content

"User Content" means any content you submit to the Service, including profile information, messages, group posts, comments, and reactions.

You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to store, display, and distribute it solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

You represent and warrant that your User Content:

We reserve the right — but not the obligation — to remove any User Content that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable, at any time and without notice.

6 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

Violation of these rules may result in immediate account suspension or termination without notice and, where applicable, legal action.

7 Leaderboards, Challenges, and Achievements

Leaderboard rankings, challenge results, and achievements are provided for entertainment and personal motivation only. They have no monetary value, do not constitute prizes, and carry no legal or commercial entitlement whatsoever.

We reserve the right to reset, adjust, or remove rankings, achievements, and challenge results at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to detected cheating, data errors, or technical issues.

We make no guarantee that the Service will be available during any specific challenge period, nor that challenges will be completed as scheduled.

8 Intellectual Property

All elements of the Service — including the WalkRace name, logo, design, code, and features — are the exclusive property of AppJuice or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our express written permission.

9 Privacy and GDPR

We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable EU/Italian data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation EU 2016/679).

As a user in the European Union, you have the right to:

To exercise these rights, use the in-app Privacy & Data section or contact us at privacy@walkrace.appjuice.it.

10 Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk.

11 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AppJuice, its directors, employees, partners, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, personal injury, or property damage, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service.

In jurisdictions where limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages is not permitted, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Because WalkRace is currently provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim shall not exceed €50 (fifty euros).

12 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AppJuice and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

13 Service Modifications and Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service — in whole or in part — at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or extended inactivity. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

You may delete your account at any time through the in-app Privacy & Data section. Account deletion will be processed within 7 days of your request, as described in our Privacy Policy.

14 Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure including Apple HealthKit and Supabase. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service.

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for their content or practices.

15 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the App.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and delete your account.

16 Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Italy, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Milan, Italy, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence requires otherwise.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
