Startide

TERMS OF USE

Last updated 25 October 2026

AGREEING TO THESE TERMS

By creating a Startide account you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't create an account. You need one to play.

Startide is made by Larry Osamudawem Idahosa (Starry Labs), called "we" or "us" here.

You must be 16 or older to create an account. By signing up, you confirm that you are.

YOUR ACCOUNT

You're responsible for your account and everything done with it. In particular:

Use an email address you own, and keep your password private
One person per account; don't share, sell or transfer it
Don't create accounts to get around a block, a limit or a ban
Tell us at startide@starrylabs.app if you think someone else is using your account

Your username is public to other players. It can't impersonate someone, or contain slurs, swearing, sexual terms or anything else the community rules below forbid. We may change or remove a username that breaks these rules.

COMMUNITY RULES

Startide has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. These rules cover everything you send to other players: your username, friend requests and challenges.

Don't send or encourage anything that is:

Hateful, or attacks people for their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other part of who they are
Harassment, bullying, threats or intimidation
Sexual, or sexually suggestive
Violent, or a challenge that could hurt someone: self-harm, dangerous stunts, drugs or alcohol
Illegal, or encourages breaking the law
Spam, scams or advertising
Someone else's private information
An impersonation of another person

Don't try to get around our filters, limits or blocks, access other players' data, or interfere with how Startide works.

REPORTING, BLOCKING AND ENFORCEMENT

You can protect yourself in the app at any time:

Report a challenge from its card. This also blocks the sender and ends your friendship.
Block a player from a friend request. Blocked players can't find you, add you or challenge you, and aren't told.
Unblock players from the Blocked list on the Social tab.

To report a username or anything else, email startide@starrylabs.app.

We review reports within 24 hours. If someone breaks these rules, we may remove their content, change their username, or suspend or permanently delete their account, without warning. We may also report illegal content to the authorities.

YOUR CONTENT

You own what you write, such as your challenges and suggestions. You give us permission to store it, show it to the players you send it to, and use it to run, moderate and improve Startide. That permission ends when you delete it or your account, except for copies kept in reports, as the Privacy Policy explains.

You're responsible for what you send, and you confirm you have the right to send it.

DOING QUESTS SAFELY

Quests and challenges are suggestions for self-improvement, not professional advice. Startide isn't medical, fitness, mental-health or financial advice.

You decide whether a quest is safe and right for you. Skip anything that could harm you or others, or that you're unsure about, especially physical quests if you have a health condition. A challenge from another player is that player's idea, not ours.

YOUR PROGRESS

XP, ranks and quests are saved to your account. They have no money value and can't be bought, sold or transferred. One device plays an account at a time: signing in on another device signs the first one out, after saving its progress.

CHANGES AND AVAILABILITY

Startide is free. We may add, change or remove features, and online features may sometimes be unavailable. We may update these terms; we'll change the date at the top, and tell you in the app if a change matters. If you keep using your account after that, you accept the new terms.

ENDING YOUR USE

You can stop using Startide at any time, and delete your account in Settings → Account → Delete account. We may suspend or delete accounts that break these terms. The sections on your content, disclaimers and liability still apply after your account ends.

DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY

Startide is provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we don't promise it will be error-free or always available, and we aren't responsible for what other players send you.

As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of data such as game progress. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. If you're a consumer, you keep all the rights your local law gives you.

APPLE APP STORE TERMS

If you downloaded Startide from Apple's App Store:

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Startide and its content.
You may use Startide on Apple devices you own or control, as the App Store's Usage Rules allow.
Apple has no duty to provide any maintenance or support for Startide.
If Startide fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid (Startide is free). Apple has no other warranty duty for Startide.
We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims about Startide, including product liability, failing to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
If anyone claims Startide infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with it.
You confirm that you aren't in a country under a US government embargo or on a US list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must follow any third-party terms that apply when using Startide, such as your mobile carrier's.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and may enforce them against you.

GOVERNING LAW

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes go to its courts. If you live elsewhere as a consumer, you may also use your local courts and keep your local legal protections.
