Terms of Use

You ride at your own risk

Riding a bike carries real risk, including the risk of serious injury and of death. GeoPedal does not remove any of it. By using GeoPedal you accept that risk yourself, for every ride you take.

You alone decide where, when and how you ride, and you are responsible for that decision every time. Follow traffic laws. Wear a helmet. Ride within your ability and within the conditions. Stay aware of what is around you, and do not look at your phone while you are moving.

You are responsible for your own health and fitness to ride, for the condition of your bike, and for the roads, trails and traffic you choose to ride in.

The game is never a reason to ride badly

GeoPedal rewards riding a loop and riding over ground. That is a game rule, not an instruction. No territory, streak, season, crate or leaderboard place is worth riding somewhere unsafe, riding faster than is safe, riding into traffic, crossing private land, or breaking any law.

If the game and your safety ever point in different directions, stop riding for the game. Nothing in GeoPedal asks you to take a risk, and nothing in it should be read as advice that a route or a road is safe.

Not a safety or emergency service

GeoPedal is a game, not a safety device. It does not detect crashes, it does not call for help, it does not monitor your health, and it will not tell anyone where you are if something goes wrong. Do not rely on it in an emergency. It is not medical, fitness or training advice.

Fair play

• Territory must be earned on a bike.
• Rides at vehicle speeds, GPS spoofing and mock locations are not allowed and can be disqualified.
• Accounts that repeatedly cheat can be removed.

Age

You must be 13 or older to use GeoPedal. We ask for your birth year to check.

Your content

Your handle and profile photo must not be offensive or impersonate someone else.

Your territory

Territory is a record in the game, not property. Other riders can take it by riding the same ground, and it is cleared when a season ends.

GPS accuracy

Territory is calculated from the positions your phone reports. GPS is not always accurate, so a weak or drifting signal can change what a ride claims.

Seasons and changes

Seasons reset the map on a schedule. Game rules may change between seasons to keep the game fair.

No warranty

GeoPedal is provided as it is and as it happens to be available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind about it, express or implied, including any implied warranty that it is fit for a particular purpose, accurate, uninterrupted, error free, or secure. GPS, maps, distances, areas and territory can all be wrong.

Limits of our liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GeoPedal and the people who make it are not liable for any injury, death, illness, property damage, loss or expense arising out of or connected with your use of GeoPedal or with any ride you take, whether the claim is based in contract, in negligence or in anything else.

That includes anything indirect or consequential, and anything arising from a route you chose, from the condition of any road, trail or place, from the conduct of any other person, from GPS or map error, or from GeoPedal being unavailable, delayed or wrong.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law. Some places do not allow some of these exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and where that is the case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

You cover claims you cause

If someone brings a claim against us because of how you rode, what you posted, or how you used GeoPedal, you agree to cover the reasonable cost of dealing with it, to the extent the law allows.

Your data

What GeoPedal collects, and who else handles it, is set out in the privacy policy.
