Terms of Service

Effective [DATE]

These terms are an agreement between you and C.J. Davis LLC ("we", "us") about the Outpace the Office app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use it

You must be at least [16] years old and able to agree to these terms. One account per person. You're responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your sign-in to yourself and tell us at support@outpacetheoffice.com if you think someone else is using it.

2. How the game works

Players join races that an organiser sets up: a course, a length, the workout types that count and how many race miles each one is worth. Workouts you add (from Apple Health, the in-app GPS recorder, or typed in, where the race allows it) move your avatar along the course. Checkpoints and late memos hand out items such as Pointless Meeting, Throw Under the Bus or Out of Office that you can use on other players or yourself.

• Items are game mechanics. "Throwing someone under the bus" in the app costs them race miles, nothing else. Don't bring it into real life.
• No cash value. Items, race miles, ranks and anything else in the game can't be sold, traded or exchanged for money, and you don't own them.
• Results can change. Standings are recalculated as workouts arrive, are removed (for example, deleted in Apple Health) or are corrected. We try to get them right but don't guarantee they're error-free, and we may fix mistakes after the fact.
• We may change the game. Rules, items, probabilities and features evolve. We'll try not to change the rules of a race that's already running in ways that matter.

3. Organisers

An organiser creates a race, chooses its settings, invites players and can remove them. Organisers and managers are players too and follow these terms. If you organise a race you're responsible for its name, its invite code and who you share it with, and for any prize or stake you attach to it.

4. Races at work

Outpace the Office is often played with coworkers. Unless we've signed a separate written agreement with them, your employer isn't our customer and we don't act for them.

• Taking part is your choice. Nothing in the Service should be treated as a condition of your job.
• A coworker or manager who organises or joins your race sees what any race member sees (see the Privacy Policy). They don't get your Apple Health data, your location or workouts you haven't added to their race.
• Prizes, bets, incentives or wellness rewards are arranged by the organiser or employer, not by us. We aren't a party to them and aren't responsible for paying or enforcing them.

5. Your health and safety

The Service is a game, not medical, fitness or safety advice. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise programme, especially if you have a health condition. Exercise is at your own risk: know your limits, stop if something feels wrong, and don't push past what's safe to win a race.

Pay attention to your surroundings. Don't use the app while driving or cycling, follow traffic laws, and don't go somewhere unsafe to chase miles. GPS distance, Apple Health data and race-mile conversions can be inaccurate.

6. Fair play and conduct

You agree not to:

• Log workouts you didn't do, inflate distances or times, or game imports from other apps.
• Use bots, scripts, multiple accounts or modified versions of the app, or exploit bugs (please report them instead).
• Use names, photos, race names or proof photos that are offensive, sexual, hateful, harassing, or that impersonate someone.
• Harass, threaten or bully other players, in the app or because of it.
• Upload content you don't have the right to share, or other people's personal information.
• Interfere with the Service, probe its security, or access data you're not meant to see.

Organisers may require proof photos and may remove players. We may remove content, void workouts or results, or suspend or close accounts that break these terms, with or without notice.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of what you put into the Service: your name, photos, workouts and race names. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and process it to run the Service, which includes showing it to the other members of your races. The licence ends when your content is deleted, except for race history that is kept in de-identified form (see the Privacy Policy).

8. AI race commentary

If you switch on AI race commentary, some race events about you are written up by an AI model. AI-written lines can be wrong, odd or not funny. They're entertainment, not statements of fact, and they aren't written by us or by other players. If a line is offensive, tell us at support@outpacetheoffice.com.

9. Paid features

The Service is currently free. If we offer paid features later (for example, a pass an organiser buys to run a bigger race), they'll be sold through Apple's App Store under Apple's payment terms, and we'll tell you the price and what you get before you buy. [Refund and renewal terms to be added when paid features launch.]

10. Other services

The Service works with services we don't control, including Apple Health, Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, Apple Maps and Google Maps. Your use of those is governed by their own terms. We aren't responsible for their availability or accuracy.

11. Ending your account

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from Profile in the app. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we're required to by law, or if we stop offering the Service. Sections 2 (no cash value), 7, 12, 13 and 14 survive the end of your account.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, injury arising from exercise, or disputes between players, organisers or employers. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or [US$50]. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where that rule applies.

14. Indemnity

You agree to cover our reasonable costs from claims by others that arise from your content, your breach of these terms, or a prize or arrangement you set up around a race, to the extent the law allows.

15. Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the courts of [COUNTY, STATE], unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them locally. [Decide whether to add an arbitration clause and class-action waiver.]

16. Apple

If you got the app from Apple's App Store: these terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app, its maintenance or support, or any claims about it, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual-property claims. If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you can tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you aren't in a country under a US government embargo and aren't on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

17. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is significant we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Using the Service after that means you accept the new terms.
