Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Skrid iOS application ("App") and the website at skrid.app ("Website"), collectively the "Service", operated by Johannes Gebert ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Service Provider

Johannes Gebert
Europaplatz 16
70565 Stuttgart
Germany

E-mail: hello@skrid.app
Phone: +49 152 23146102

2. Scope and Nature of the Service

Skrid is a gamified fitness iOS application. The App reads your daily step count from Apple HealthKit and awards in-app coins that you can spend on virtual characters, customisation items, and other in-game content. The App also integrates with Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls framework to support self-set app-usage limits. The Service is available worldwide wherever the App Store is accessible.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use Skrid independently. Users between 16 and 18 years old should review these Terms with a parent or guardian. If you are under 16, you may only use Skrid with the verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that we have reason to believe are held by users under 16 without parental consent.

By using the Service you represent that you meet the applicable age requirement and, where required, that your parent or guardian has consented to these Terms.

4. Account Registration

To access core features you must create an account secured with a passkey. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and passkey. You must not share your account or allow others to access it. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

You may choose any username that is not offensive, does not impersonate another person or entity, and does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights. We reserve the right to require a username change or suspend an account if these requirements are not met.

5. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

5.1 Purchases via Apple App Store

All purchases — including one-time purchases and subscriptions — are processed exclusively by Apple Inc. through the App Store. Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions apply to all transactions. We do not have access to your payment information.

5.2 Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You can manage and cancel subscriptions at any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancelling a subscription stops future charges but does not entitle you to a refund for the current billing period, except as described in Section 6.

5.3 Virtual Currency and Items

In-game coins and virtual items have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real currency, transferred between accounts, or redeemed outside the App. Virtual items are licensed to you, not sold, and we may modify or remove them in accordance with Section 13.

5.4 Prices and Taxes

Prices are displayed in the App Store in your local currency inclusive of any applicable taxes as determined by Apple. We reserve the right to change prices; such changes will not affect subscriptions already in a paid period.

6. Right of Withdrawal for EU / EEA Consumers

6.1 Digital Content Delivered Immediately

Under EU Directive 2011/83/EU and the applicable national implementations (e.g., §§ 312g, 356(5) BGB in Germany), consumers generally have a 14-day right to withdraw from distance contracts without giving a reason.

Exception — immediate digital delivery: When you purchase in-app content (e.g., a one-time coin pack or character unlock) that is delivered and made available immediately upon purchase, you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that the right of withdrawal is thereby extinguished once performance has begun, in accordance with Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and § 356(5) BGB.

6.2 Subscriptions

For subscription purchases, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of the purchase, provided you have not expressly requested that the subscription commence before the end of the withdrawal period. If you have requested immediate access and the subscription has commenced, the right of withdrawal is extinguished as described above.

6.3 How to Exercise the Right of Withdrawal

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us by means of a clear statement (e.g., by e-mail to hello@skrid.app) before the withdrawal period expires. You may use the model withdrawal form below, although it is not obligatory.

Model Withdrawal Form

To: Johannes Gebert, Europaplatz 16, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany; hello@skrid.app

I/We (*) hereby give notice that I/we (*) withdraw from my/our (*) contract of sale of the following goods (*) / for the provision of the following service (*):
[Description of product/service]
Ordered on (*) / received on (*):
Name of consumer(s):
Address of consumer(s):
Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper):
Date:

(*) Delete as applicable.

Note: Because all purchases are processed by Apple, refunds must generally be requested through Apple's standard refund process at reportaproblem.apple.com. We will assist you where we can but cannot issue refunds directly.

7. HealthKit Data

Skrid requests permission to read your daily step count from Apple HealthKit. Granting this permission is optional; however, the step-based coin reward system will not function without it. We use this data solely to calculate coin rewards and to back up your progress, as described in our Privacy Policy. HealthKit data is never sold or shared with third-party advertisers.

You can revoke HealthKit access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Skrid.

8. Screen Time and Family Controls

The App integrates with Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls framework to let you set voluntary daily usage limits. All screen-time data is processed exclusively on your device and never transmitted to us. Use of this feature is governed by Apple's terms and your device settings. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from self-set usage limits.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account and, where legally required, reporting to competent authorities.

10. Intellectual Property

All content, design, graphics, software, and other materials forming part of the Service ("Skrid Content") are owned by or licensed to Johannes Gebert and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Skrid name, logo, or trademarks without our prior written consent.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on Apple devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

11. User-Generated Content

The current version of the Service does not allow users to submit publicly visible content. If user-generated content features are introduced in the future, these Terms will be updated accordingly.

12. Service Availability and Changes

We strive to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, updates, or modifications that temporarily affect availability. We will endeavour to give reasonable notice for planned downtime.

We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove features at any time. Material changes that reduce functionality available to paying subscribers will be communicated in advance and, where applicable, entitle you to a pro-rata refund or the right to cancel without penalty.

13. Account Termination

13.1 By You

You may delete your account and all associated data at any time using the in-app account deletion feature. Deleting your account terminates these Terms and permanently removes your data from our servers. Any active subscription must be cancelled separately in iOS Settings (see Section 5.2).

13.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account with immediate effect if you materially breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent or illegal activity, or if we are required to do so by law. Where permitted by applicable law, we will provide prior notice. In case of termination due to your breach, no refund will be issued for unused subscription periods.

We may also discontinue the Service entirely. In such case, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via the App or e-mail. Affected subscribers will receive a pro-rata refund for any remaining paid subscription period.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the step count data read from HealthKit is accurate or complete, as this data is generated by your device hardware and iOS. We are not a medical or health-care provider, and nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice.

15. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or under mandatory German consumer protection law.

Subject to the above, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Johannes Gebert shall not be liable for:

Where German law applies and mandatory liability rules cannot be excluded, our liability for negligent (but not grossly negligent or intentional) breaches of non-cardinal obligations (nicht wesentliche Vertragspflichten) is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage. Our liability for negligent breaches of cardinal obligations (wesentliche Vertragspflichten) is also limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

In any event, our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) EUR 100.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Johannes Gebert from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (c) your infringement of any third-party right.

17. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with the following third-party services, each of which operates under its own terms and privacy policy:

We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of third-party services. Links to third-party websites or services are provided for convenience only.

18. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using the Service you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days in advance by posting a notice in the App or by e-mail (if we hold your e-mail address). The updated Terms will indicate a new "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance.

If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and delete your account before the effective date. Active subscribers who do not accept updated Terms may cancel for a pro-rata refund of any unused subscription period.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and conflict-of-law principles.

For consumers within the EU/EEA: The choice of German law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable EU law.

For consumers in Germany: If you are a consumer domiciled in Germany, the place of jurisdiction is your domicile, unless otherwise required by law. For disputes with non-consumers, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Stuttgart, Germany.

For users outside the EU: To the extent permitted by applicable local law, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Stuttgart, Germany.

21. Dispute Resolution

21.1 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Pursuant to § 36 VSBG (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz / Consumer Dispute Resolution Act): We are not willing and not obligated to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).

21.2 EU Online Dispute Resolution

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform for consumers. It is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our e-mail address for ODR purposes is hello@skrid.app. We are not obligated and not willing to participate in online dispute resolution proceedings.

22. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Johannes Gebert with respect to the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
