Step Champ

Terms of Service

Last updated: November 8, 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Step Champ ("we", "us") about your use of the Step Champ app and website (the "service"). By signing in you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Who can use Step Champ

You must be at least 18 years old. You may have one account, and you are responsible for what happens under it and for keeping your Google or Apple account secure.

2. What the service is

Step Champ reads your daily step count, with your permission, and lets you compete with friends in private groups: leaderboards, championships, streaks, a Pip character and in-app coins. Features change over time, and we may add, change or remove them.

Championships, rankings, points and coins are for fun. They have no cash value, and we do not award prizes. If members of a group arrange a prize among themselves, that is between them and not part of Step Champ.

3. Your health and safety

Step Champ is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Step counts come from your device and may be inaccurate. Talk to a doctor before you start or increase physical activity, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant, or have been inactive.

You are responsible for your own safety. Walk only where and when it is safe, stay aware of traffic and your surroundings, and never use the app while driving or operating machinery. Stop and seek help if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath. You take part in any physical activity at your own risk, and to the extent the law allows we are not liable for injury, illness or loss that results from it.

4. Rules for everyone

You agree not to:

Report anyone who breaks these rules with Report on their member row. We may review what you post, rename or remove it, remove you from groups, reset your standings or coins, or suspend or delete your account if we reasonably believe you broke these Terms. Group owners can also remove members from their groups.

We also run automatic checks for step counts that look faked. Steps beyond what a person can walk are not counted, and an account the checks flag is hidden from its groups until we review it. If you think a check got it wrong, email us and a person will look at it.

5. Your content

You own the names you create. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store and display them to the people in your groups, only as needed to run the service. This licence ends when you delete them or your account.

6. Coins and Pip items

Coins and Pip items are a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use them inside the app. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything outside the app, and cannot be sold or transferred. We may change how coins are earned, what things cost, and which items exist. We may remove coins or items obtained by cheating or by mistake. Coins and items end when your account is deleted. Coins and items can never be used to enter anything that pays out a prize.

Buying coins. Where the app offers it, you can buy coins. Apple or Google takes the payment, and their refund rules apply, so ask them for a refund. If a purchase is refunded, we take back the coins it gave you, even if that leaves your balance below zero. Coins you buy don't expire. If coins you paid for haven't arrived, tap Restore purchases on the Coins screen, or contact us. Deleting your account ends coins you bought and does not refund them.

7. Referrals

You can earn coins when someone new uses your referral code. Share it only with people you know, and do not send spam. Referring yourself, using more than one account, or gaming the rewards is not allowed, and we may cancel rewards obtained that way. We may change or end referral rewards at any time.

8. Our rights

The app, the Step Champ name, Pip and everything we make are ours or licensed to us. You may use the app for your own personal, non-commercial use, and for nothing else.

9. Apple and Google

If you downloaded Step Champ from the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app, is not responsible for any claims about it (including product liability, legal compliance and intellectual property claims), and is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms who may enforce them against you. The same applies to Google if you downloaded the app from Google Play, together with Google Play's terms of service.

If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies by law, you may tell Apple, and Apple may refund what you paid for the app; Apple has no other warranty obligation for it. You must follow the terms of any other service you use with Step Champ, such as your mobile carrier, Apple Health or Health Connect. You confirm that you are not in a country under a Canadian or US government embargo, and that you are not on a Canadian or US list of prohibited or restricted parties.

10. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app under You → Delete account. We may suspend or end the service, or your access to it, at any time. If we shut Step Champ down, we will stop selling coins first and give at least 30 days' notice. Sections 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 15 continue to apply after your account ends.

11. Disclaimers

Does not apply to consumers in Québec. Québec's Consumer Protection Act does not allow the paragraph below to limit a Québec consumer's rights.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT STEP COUNTS, RANKINGS OR COIN BALANCES WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE OR KEPT.

Step Champ depends on services run by others, including Apple, Google, Health Connect and Microsoft Azure. We are not responsible for them, or for what happens when they fail or change.

12. Limitation of liability

Does not apply to consumers in Québec. Québec's Consumer Protection Act does not allow the paragraph below to limit a Québec consumer's rights.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. 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. Some places do not allow some of these limits, so they may not all apply to you; nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

13. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs, including legal fees, from a claim by someone else that arises from what you post, from your breaking these Terms, or from your misuse of the service.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the date above, and for significant changes we will give notice where we reasonably can before they take effect. If you keep using the service after that, you accept the new Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction over any dispute about these Terms or the service. If you live somewhere else, this does not take away any consumer protection rights the law where you live gives you. If you live in Québec, you can also bring a claim in Québec.

Talk to us first. Most problems get fixed by email. Before you start a claim, email us what went wrong and give us 30 days to try to put it right. This does not stop you from contacting a regulator or privacy commissioner at any time.

Does not apply to consumers in Québec. Québec's Consumer Protection Act does not allow the paragraph below to limit a Québec consumer's rights.

To the extent the law allows, you must start any claim within one year after it arises, and bring it only for yourself, not as part of a class action or other group claim. If the law where you live gives you more time, or the right to join a class action, that law applies instead.

16. General

These Terms, with the policies they link to, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a part right away, we can still enforce it later. We may transfer these Terms to an organization that takes over the service, for example a company set up to run it; you may not transfer yours.

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages at the services we depend on. We may send you notices in the app or by email to the address your sign-in provider gives us. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.
