Terms of Use

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use Peak Journey. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian.

You are responsible for your account, device, sign-in providers, and any activity under your account or local app identity. Keep your login credentials secure and notify us if you believe your account has been compromised. You may not impersonate another person, create misleading profile information, or use another person's account without permission.

Ghost Duel may be available from age 13 where regional requirements permit. Live Duel and remote participant video require a signed-in account and age 18 or older. Minor and adult users are kept in separate Duel, profile, friendship, challenge, history, and messaging cohorts. You must provide an accurate date of birth and may not bypass age, cohort, suspension, block, or eligibility controls.

2. The Service

Peak Journey helps you build and share verified habits. Features may include GPS runs, focus timers, pose-assisted exercise tracking, private Daily Captures, proof receipts, local habit history, streaks, badges, leaderboards, asynchronous Ghost Duels, real-time Live Duels, friend challenges, nearby friend discovery, friends-only messages, reports, blocks, public share pages, referrals, and social sharing tools.

We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We may also set usage limits, update result display rules, change leaderboard windows, or alter verification logic to protect the integrity of the Service.

3. Health, Fitness, and Safety

Peak Journey is for general habit, wellness, training, and productivity support. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, emergency support, or a substitute for professional care. Always use your own judgment, follow applicable laws, and consult a qualified professional before starting or changing a fitness, health, diet, or wellness routine, especially if you have a medical condition, injury, disability, or other concern.

Do not use Peak Journey while driving, cycling in unsafe conditions, crossing roads without attention, operating machinery, or doing anything where distraction could cause harm. Stop any activity if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or unsafe conditions.

A Duel is an invitation to complete a fixed activity together, not permission to overexert, interfere with another person, enter unsafe areas, or ignore your surroundings. Rating changes depend on the verified outcome, not the victory margin. Ghost Duel never displays an opponent camera. Adult Live Focus and pose Duels require silent camera video for the match; Live Run uses no camera. You may choose Ghost instead if you do not want Live video.

4. Verification, Sensors, and Accuracy

Peak Journey uses device sensors and software estimates to support habit proof, including location, motion, timers, camera, and on-device pose analysis. These tools can be inaccurate, unavailable, interrupted, spoofed, or affected by device settings, environment, hardware, network, operating system behavior, and user movement.

Streaks, leaderboards, proof labels, calorie estimates, distances, pace, rep counts, form scores, and other metrics are estimates for motivation and product experience. They are not guaranteed to be complete, accurate, fair, or suitable for medical, legal, employment, insurance, competition, or safety-critical use.

Duel acceptance, start time, result deadlines, verification, forfeits, no contests, and rating updates are determined by server records. Temporary network loss may delay a result while local tracking continues. We may mark suspicious, implausible, duplicated, late, or unverifiable results as no contest and review related accounts.

5. Your Content

"User Content" means information or material you submit, create, upload, save, sync, publish, or share through Peak Journey, including profile information, handles, avatars, photos, videos, proof media, Daily Captures, habit data, captions, direct messages, reports, messages to support, and public shares.

You keep ownership of your User Content. You grant Peak Journey a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, publish, adapt, transmit, and otherwise use your User Content as needed to operate, secure, support, improve, and provide the Service, including creating proof pages, leaderboards, invite pages, previews, thumbnails, backups, and synced records.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed for your User Content and that it does not violate law, these Terms, or anyone else's rights. Do not upload or share images, videos, or information about another person without any consent required by law.

6. Public Sharing

Peak Journey includes features designed to make progress visible. If you create or distribute a public proof page, public recap page, invite link, leaderboard profile, image, video, or social post, people who receive or find it may view, save, copy, screenshot, reshare, or misuse it. Share only content you are comfortable making visible.

We may remove or disable public content, leaderboard entries, handles, avatars, or share pages that violate these Terms, create risk, or undermine service integrity.

7. Duels, Friends, Camera, and Messaging

Random ranked Live Duels use per-habit ratings. Ghost Duels, friend challenges, and immediate rematches are unranked. You may choose Ghost instead of Live, accept or decline a proposal, leave a queue, block a user, or report conduct at any time. Live Focus and pose formats require silent camera video after start; leaving, backgrounding, or unpublishing a required camera track may forfeit the match. Do not pressure anyone to choose Live, share personal information, move to another service, or continue an activity that feels unsafe.

Live Duel video is silent and ephemeral. You may show only yourself and an appropriate activity environment. Nudity, sexual content, harassment, hate, dangerous behavior, recording another participant, or attempting to identify or locate another user is prohibited. Direct messages are friends-only and may not be used for links, spam, grooming, threats, sexual requests, or evading age and safety controls.

Blocking may end an active pairing, remove friendship, cancel challenges, and revoke conversation access. Reports may preserve a bounded evidence snapshot for safety review. We may use automated rules, service providers, and human review to moderate content and enforce these Terms.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for illegal, harmful, deceptive, abusive, harassing, hateful, explicit, or exploitative purposes.
• Upload or share content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Fake, manipulate, automate, spoof, or tamper with sessions, GPS, pose tracking, streaks, referrals, proof, or leaderboard results.
• Farm ratings or statistics through coordinated outcomes, repeated opponents, alternate accounts, intentional disconnects, or manipulated friend challenges.
• Record, screenshot, redistribute, or attempt to identify another Duel participant without any consent required by law.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, crawl, copy, resell, benchmark, or use the Service to build a competing product except where law expressly allows it.
• Interfere with security, rate limits, infrastructure, app store systems, Supabase, payment providers, or other users' experience.
• Upload malware or attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, data, or non-public APIs.
• Use the Service in a way that could injure you, other people, property, or public safety.

9. Free Service and Legacy Purchases

Beginning with Peak Journey 1.1.0, consumer app functionality is free and no consumer subscription or in-app purchase is required. We may introduce separately described organizer, sponsor, or business offerings in the future, but these Terms do not convert the current consumer features into a paid plan.

Before the Peak Journey 1.1.0 subscription sunset, older iOS versions offered Apple subscriptions supported by RevenueCat. Apple controls the status, cancellation, and refund process for those historical purchases. Check iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions for legacy status and use reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple Support for refund requests. Deleting the app or your Peak Journey account does not itself alter an App Store transaction record.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service may depend on or link to third-party services, including app stores, Supabase, PostHog, Vercel, LiveKit, moderation providers, Apple, Google, Expo, social apps, and device operating system features. RevenueCat remains a records provider for historical iOS purchases made before the free 1.1.0 release. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, terms, policies, or actions.

11. Intellectual Property

Peak Journey, including our app, website, software, designs, logos, names, text, graphics, code, scoring systems, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, we do not grant you any ownership or license to our intellectual property.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, create derivative works from, or exploit the Service except as allowed by these Terms or applicable law.

12. Feedback

If you send feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant us the right to use them without restriction or compensation. We are not obligated to keep feedback confidential.

13. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Peak Journey at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate access to the Service at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk, infringed rights, misused the Service, or if we need to protect users, the Service, or our business.

After termination, provisions that by their nature should continue will continue, including ownership, content licenses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, dispute terms, and payment obligations incurred before termination.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, safety, and uninterrupted operation.

We do not guarantee that Peak Journey will preserve every session, sync without error, calculate every metric accurately, detect every movement correctly, prevent cheating, maintain every streak, or be available at all times.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Peak Journey and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, service interruption, personal injury, or device damage, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to Peak Journey for the Service in the 12 months before the claim or USD $100.

16. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Peak Journey and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

17. Disputes and Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding conflict of law rules, unless the laws where you live require otherwise. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@peakjourney.app so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere or requires another process. You and Peak Journey waive any right to a jury trial to the extent permitted by law.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice through the app, website, email, or another method. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
