5. Location Services and Safety

5.1 Location Tracking

• 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.

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.

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
• 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 license to use, display, and distribute your User Content within the App
• You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant this license
• You are responsible for ensuring your User Content does not infringe on the rights of others

6.3 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.
• 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 Anti-Spoofing Measures

• We employ automated systems to detect location spoofing and cheating
• These systems analyze movement patterns, device sensor data, and other indicators

• Issue warnings
