Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of StreetVenture (the “Services”), including our mobile applications and our website at streetventure.app. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

These Terms are intentionally readable and short relative to a typical fitness-app ToS — payment, subscription, refund, and arbitration sections found in larger apps are not applicable here because the Services are currently free, do not include any in-app purchase, and operate under Dutch / EU jurisdiction (no US-style binding arbitration).

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services. 16 is the digital age of consent under the Dutch implementation of the GDPR (Article 8). In jurisdictions where the local digital age of consent is lower (some EU member states set it as low as 13), the local age applies, but never below 13.

You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep it up to date. One person, one account.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for everything that happens under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

Authentication is provided by our identity provider, Clerk. Their security practices apply to the login flow itself.

You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen. After deletion, your personal data is removed within 45 days as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or fabricated activities (e.g. activities you did not actually walk, run, or ride).
• Harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate other users.
• Upload content that is unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, infringing, or otherwise harmful.
• Attempt to access another user’s account, data, or activities without authorization.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or build derivative datasets from the Services beyond what the law allows.
• Use the Services in a way that harms our infrastructure (e.g. automated mass-write traffic, denial-of-service patterns).
• Use the Services to violate any law applicable to you.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

4. Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Services — activity data, routes, photos, profile information, comments, and so on.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and process your content solely as needed to operate the Services on your behalf (for example, to render your activity on your friends’ feed). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, with two exceptions:

• Aggregated and de-identified data — once your data has been combined with others’ in a way that cannot be re-attributed to you, the resulting aggregate may continue to exist (for example, an aggregate “most-walked street in Amsterdam” figure).
• Content you have shared publicly with other users — copies that other users have already viewed, downloaded, or referenced are outside our direct control after the fact.

You are responsible for the content you submit, including ensuring you have the rights to it and that it does not violate anyone else’s rights.

5. Community Standards

The Services include social features (feed, leaderboards, expeditions). You agree to interact with other users respectfully. Specifically:

• Don’t harass, dox, or stalk other users.
• Don’t post content that targets others on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar characteristics.
• Don’t use private location features (e.g. another user’s shared route) to threaten or harm them.
• Reports of violation can be sent via the contact channel described at the end of these Terms.

We reserve the right to remove content and suspend accounts that violate these standards.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our IP

The Services, including the source code, design, branding (the StreetVenture name and logo), and original content we author, are our intellectual property and that of our licensors. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivatives of these without permission.

6.2 Map Data

Map tiles and street geometries are sourced from OpenStreetMap and rendered by OpenFreeMap. OSM data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). Your use of map data through the Services is subject to those licenses, which permit personal use.

6.3 Feedback

If you send us suggestions for the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you. We will not associate your name with public mentions of a suggestion without your permission.

7. Third-Party Services

You may connect your StreetVenture account to third-party services (today: Strava import, OS-level health stores). When you do, those third parties’ terms and privacy policies govern the data they share with us and any actions you take on their platforms. We are not responsible for the operation of those services.

We do not write back to Strava or any other third-party account. The connection is one-way: we read activities you import.

8. GPS, Activity Data, and Safety

The Services include GPS-based tracking and route-planning features. You acknowledge that:

• Walking, running, and cycling carry inherent risks. You are responsible for your own safety.
• GPS is imperfect. Indoor coverage, urban canyons, weather, and device variability mean that the route we record may not exactly match where you went.
• Map data is community-maintained. Streets in OpenStreetMap may be incorrect, missing, or outdated. If a planned route depends on a street existing and it doesn’t, that is a map data issue we cannot fully prevent.
• Activity, heart-rate, and fitness data we surface is for informational and entertainment purposes. It is not medical advice. Consult a qualified professional for medical or training decisions.

Use common sense. Pay attention to traffic, terrain, weather, and your own limits.

9. Service Availability

We will make reasonable efforts to keep the Services available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Services at any time. Material changes that affect existing functionality will be announced via the app or this page where reasonably possible.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch and EU law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that the results obtained from them will be accurate or reliable.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer-protection rights you have under Dutch or EU law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, StreetVenture and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from:

• Your use or inability to use the Services.
• Any third-party content, integration, or service.
• Athletic activities you undertake while using the Services.

Where the law does not permit such exclusion, our aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) fifty euros (€50) or (b) any amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. Because the Services are currently free, (a) is the practical cap.

This section does not exclude or limit liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold StreetVenture harmless from claims arising from your violation of these Terms, your content, your athletic activities, or your violation of another person’s rights. This indemnity does not apply to claims that result from our own fault.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time and delete your account from the Settings screen.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we cease offering the Services. We will give reasonable notice where practical.

Sections 4 (Your Content), 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Third-Party Services), 10 (Disclaimer), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnity), and 15 (Governing Law) survive termination.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced through the app or via this page’s “Last updated” date. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the Services and delete your account.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of the Netherlands have jurisdiction over any dispute arising under these Terms, except that consumer-protection laws in your country of residence may grant you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

EU consumers may use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform for out-of-court resolution.

16. Apple Acknowledgment (iOS app)

This section applies only to the iOS version of the StreetVenture application and is required by Apple’s App Store guidelines.

1. Apple Inc. is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the iOS application or the Services.
2. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the iOS application.
3. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a user.
4. The iOS application is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of this agreement. Your license is limited and non-transferable as described in Section 6.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS application. Any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to the iOS application’s failure to conform to any warranty are between you and us, not Apple.

17. Google Acknowledgment (Android app)

This section applies only to the Android version of the StreetVenture application.

Google Inc. is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the Android application or the Services. Your use of the Android application is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
