Terms of Service
The rules of the road. These are the terms for using PathQuest. They’re a contract — using the app means you accept them — but they’re written in plain language because contracts shouldn’t be a riddle. Read them once, keep them around, and email pathquest@castellet.dev if anything’s unclear before you start.
1. Accepting these terms
By downloading or using PathQuest, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, don’t install the app — and feel free to email us if you’d like to talk about why.
2. Who we are
PathQuest is made by Juan Carlos Castellet, sole developer, autónomo (sole proprietor) registered in Castellón, Spain. References to “we” or “us” mean me. References to “you” mean the person using the app.
3. License to use the app
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use PathQuest on devices you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s App Store Terms of Service. The license is for personal, non-commercial use. You don’t own a copy of the software — you have permission to use it.
You agree not to sell, sublicense, rent, modify, decompile, or reverse-engineer the app, except to the extent that local law expressly grants you that right. EU users in particular retain non-waivable rights to interoperability and source-code analysis under Directive 2009/24/EC; we respect those.
4. Your HealthKit data is yours
PathQuest reads daily step counts and walking distance from Apple’s HealthKit, with your explicit permission, only to compute progress along your quests. We do not transmit, sell, share, or use HealthKit data for advertising or any other purpose. You can revoke HealthKit access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → PathQuest, and the app will continue to work as best it can without it.
5. Premium features and subscriptions
Some features are part of a paid premium tier. Apple handles all billing. Purchases, refunds, subscription renewals, and cancellations are managed through your Apple ID — not through us. You can manage subscriptions at Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
Subscription pricing, the renewal cycle, and the free trial (if any) are shown in the App Store and inside the app before you confirm. If a payment is reversed by Apple or your card issuer after a premium feature has been enabled, we may disable that premium feature.
6. Acceptable use
A short list of “please don’t”:
- Don’t use the app to break the law.
- Don’t tamper with the app’s network traffic, local data, or signing.
- Don’t try to bypass paid features by reverse-engineering or repackaging the app (subject to the EU rights mentioned in section 3).
- Don’t use the app to harass, mislead, or harm others.
If you find a security bug, please tell us first at pathquest@castellet.dev — we’ll thank you, fix it, and credit you in the release notes if you’d like.
7. The app is provided “as is”
PathQuest is a fitness motivation tool, not a medical device. It does not provide medical, health, or fitness advice. If you have any health condition that might be affected by walking, please consult a qualified medical professional before using the app to set distance goals.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we provide the app on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or every iOS version.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to your use of PathQuest is limited to the amounts you have paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For users of the free tier, that amount is zero euros. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, lost profits, business interruption, or personal injury, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
9. Termination
You can stop using PathQuest at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially violate these terms. Sections 4 (HealthKit), 7 (as is), 8 (liability), and 10 (governing law) survive termination.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged in-app and reflected in the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change takes effect counts as acceptance. If you don’t agree with a change, you can stop using the app — that’s always an option.
11. Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with them shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the juzgados y tribunales de Castellón, with the parties expressly waiving any other venue that might otherwise apply.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the consumer-protection law of your country of residence.
