Terms of Service

Effective November 14, 2026 · Version 2026-11-14.2 · Privacy Policy

1. Agreeing to these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Kylan Hill, an individual doing business as TrekBattles ("we", "us") for the TrekBattles app and website (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to the Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Effective November 14, 2026.

2. Who can use TrekBattles

You must be at least 13 years old. Players aged 13 get a restricted account: a random public name, no photos, and a private profile. If you are under the age of adulthood where you live, you need a parent or guardian to agree to these Terms for you. You must give your real birth date; it cannot be changed later. We may close accounts that give a false age.

3. Your account

Keep your password private and tell us right away if someone else uses your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account. You may have only one account.

4. Health and safety

TrekBattles is a game that uses your steps and workouts. It is not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting or changing exercise, and exercise within your limits. Stay aware of traffic and your surroundings and never use the app in a way that is unsafe. You use the Service at your own risk.

5. Your activity and health data

The game runs on your activity. If you connect Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone), you allow TrekBattles to read the activity data you choose to share, such as steps, distance and workouts. Entries you type in by hand are ignored. On Android, Health Connect does not count steps itself: you need a step-tracking app or watch that saves to it, such as Google Health. We read your activity from the day you created your account onward, including in the background when the app is closed, and never anything from before that day. We send that data to our servers, use it to run the game (stats, levels, coins, groups, battles, events and badges), and show it to you in the app and on our website when you sign in. The parts of it that are public in the game (see the Privacy Policy) can be seen by other players, in the app and on the website. You can disconnect at any time in the app or in your phone settings; the game then stops growing, and data we already received stays until you delete your account. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.

6. Rules of conduct

Play honestly and be kind. You must not: fake steps, workouts, streaks or any other data, use bots or scripts, or exploit bugs; bully, harass, threaten or insult other players, or share their private information; promote or advertise anything (products, services, other apps, websites, social accounts or channels), send spam, or ask other players for money; use a username, name, creature name or photo that is offensive, hateful, sexual, political (including the names of politicians and parties) or Confederate, or that breaks the law, or that pretends to be someone else; try to get into other players' private data or break the Service. We may block or replace names that break these rules.

7. Your photos and other content

The app asks for permission to use your camera so you can take a selfie for the back of your creature card; we use the camera only for that. You can also choose names for your creature. You keep ownership of what you add. You give us a free, worldwide right to store it, show it, and copy it as needed to run the Service. Other players will see your photo: every player who collects that card sees it, even if your profile is private; if you turn on "Show my card photo" in Settings, other players who can see your cards see it too; and where described in the Privacy Policy it may appear on our website. A card photo can be added once per card and cannot be changed or deleted by you; ask us to remove it. Only add a photo of yourself, nothing offensive or unlawful, and nothing with another person's personal information. You must be 14 or older to add or see card photos. We may hide or remove content that other players report or that breaks these Terms.

8. Cards are shared: a public card game

TrekBattles is a public card game that works with copies. When you collect a card, you get a copy of it, and your own card can be copied the same way. A private profile hides your profile page from players who are not your friends, but it does not take back copies that already exist. Your card can still be seen by your friends, and by anyone who holds a copy of your card, including when that copy is kept in their deck, shown in battles or battle history, or used in the game. Players in your groups see your public name, level and weekly score. A copy shows the card as it was when it was collected, with your public name (or the name "Deleted player" if you delete your account) and, for players who collect it, the card photo as described in these Terms. By playing you agree to this. Going private or deleting your account does not remove copies other players already hold.

9. Photo rules

Card photos must be suitable for a general audience of about age 14 and up (roughly TV-14). A photo may show you, your pets, or objects. No other person under the age of 14 may appear in it, not even in the background. Photos must not show or promote violence, gore, blood or injury, or self-harm. We do not permit nudity or sexual content, including fully exposed female breasts or bare nipples. No political flags, signs, slogans or paraphernalia, and no Confederate flags or paraphernalia. A photo must not break the law or show another person's personal information (for example a name, address, ID or screen). Players can report photos, and our staff (administrators and moderators) can see and review every photo and every report. We may hide or remove any photo, with or without warning, and may restrict or ban an account that adds photos that break these rules (see "Restricting, banning and deleting accounts").

10. Coins, change tokens, the shop and refunds

You earn coins by being active. Coins are only earned by playing and are never sold for real money. Change tokens can be bought with real money in fixed-price packs. On Android the purchase goes through Google Play and is also subject to Google's terms. Purchases on iPhone are not available yet; when they are, they will go through the Apple App Store. Change tokens are used only for things with a fixed price: premium backgrounds, changing your background during the 6-month lock, and buying a specific rare egg in the shop (you get exactly the egg you pay for). Real money never buys a random result: change tokens cannot be spent on egg rolls, drops, foils or any other chance-based reward. Coins, change tokens, eggs, backgrounds, cards and every other item in TrekBattles are virtual items for use inside the game only. They have no tangible value: no cash value, no value outside the game, they cannot be exchanged for money, and they cannot be transferred or sold. You may use them but you do not own them. Payments are handled by Google Play (or the Apple App Store), not by us; to ask for a refund, use their refund process or write to us. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, we remove those change tokens from your account (tokens you already spent stay spent, and your balance will not go below zero). We do not give refunds for items you lose because of a rule break, a season reset, deleting your account or a change to the game, or for change tokens you have not used. Prices and what an item costs can change. If your app store or the law gives you a refund right that we cannot remove, that right still applies.

11. Deck battles

Deck battles are coming later and are not open yet. This is how they will work when we open them. They will be an optional mode for players with a deck of 20 or more cards. Starting one will cost 20 coins. The game will draw cards from your deck and from a random opponent deck and play the battle for you. The result comes from the stats of the cards drawn and is final. The winner gets one random prize roll (coins, a background or an egg), the loser may get a small coin flip, and a draw gives your coins back. The prizes and their odds will be shown in the app. They are for information only, can change at any time (see section 12), and are virtual items with no value outside the game. We do not promise you any result or prize. After you play, a copy of your deck (your cards as they were, with your public name) will be put in a pool for up to 6 hours or 10 battles so other players can battle it. Your real cards do not rest or change when a copy of your deck is fought. You will earn 1 coin each time your copy wins, and you will see these battles in your Battle history and in the notification list inside the app. You will be able to take your copy out of the pool in the app at any time. Cards you battle with rest for a while afterwards. Winning also gives you pink, a weekly battle buff that ends every Monday. Do not use extra accounts or any other trick to farm deck battles, prizes or coins; we may take away anything gained that way (see section 14). We may change, pause or close deck battles at any time, including before they open.

12. Odds, rarity and changes to the game

Eggs, rolls, drops, foils and other rewards are random. Any odds, percentages, rarity names, scarcity numbers or "how rare" labels shown in the Service are for information only. They can be wrong, can contain mistakes, and can change at any time without notice, and we do not promise you will get any particular item or result. TrekBattles is always being improved. We may change how stats, levels, badges, groups, battles, events, rewards, odds and prices work, and may reset a season. Cards and results are part of a game and have no value outside it.

13. Our rights

The Service, its names and software belong to us or our licensors. Much of the artwork in the Service (creatures, card art, backgrounds and seals) was created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and is used under the terms of those tools. We do not claim that this artwork is created by human artists, and rights in AI-generated images can be limited or unsettled in some countries. You may use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial play. Do not copy, resell or reverse engineer it, or take its artwork out of the Service.

14. Restricting, banning and deleting accounts

If you break these Terms or put others at risk, we may, with or without warning: remove content, names or photos; take away stats, cards, badges, coins or items gained unfairly; restrict your access to parts of the app or the website (for example groups, battles, friends, the shop or events); suspend or ban your account; and delete your account and its data. We decide what breaks the rules. You are not owed a refund or a replacement for anything you lose this way. If you think we made a mistake, write to us and we will look at it.

15. Ending your account yourself

You can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account yourself in the app (Settings, then Delete account) or on the website (trekbattles.com/delete-account). Either way, to make sure it is you, we email a one-time confirmation link to the email address on your account, and the account is deleted only after you open it and finish. If you cannot sign in, reset your password from that page first. Your account's email is the only way we can confirm an account is yours, so if you can no longer get into that email, we cannot delete the account for you. Deleting your account also deletes your coins, change tokens (including ones you paid for and have not used) and items, and they cannot be given back or undone.

16. No guarantees, and limits on liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise it will always work, be error-free, or keep every piece of data. We may change, pause or close any part of the app or website at any time. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or lost-profit losses, and our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the problem. Nothing here limits rights you cannot waive by law.

17. Changes, law and contact

We may update these Terms. If a change is important we will tell you in the app and ask you to accept it again, and by continuing to use the Service you accept the update. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, USA. Questions: support@trekbattles.com.
