Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Walkaching.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Walkaching mobile application, website, related services, challenges, rewards, and other features provided through the Walkaching platform (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using Walkaching, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use Walkaching.

1. About Walkaching

Walkaching is a fitness and activity-based platform designed to encourage users to stay active through walking, step-based activities, challenges, virtual Coins, rewards, and other engagement features.

Users may participate in challenges based on recorded physical activity, including step counts collected through compatible devices, operating-system health services, or other supported sources.

Walkaching may introduce, modify, suspend, or discontinue features from time to time.

2. Eligibility

You must meet the minimum age requirement displayed during registration to create and use a Walkaching account.

If applicable law requires the consent of a parent or legal guardian for a user to access the Service or for Walkaching to process certain personal information, the required consent must first be obtained.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Walkaching is permitted under the laws applicable to you.

Walkaching may restrict participation in certain challenges, promotions, or rewards based on age, location, account status, verification requirements, or other eligibility criteria disclosed for that activity.

3. Account Registration

You may be required to create an account to access certain Walkaching features.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate and current registration information;
• Maintain and update your account information when necessary;
• Keep your password and authentication credentials secure;
• Not share, sell, transfer, or improperly provide access to your account;
• Notify Walkaching if you believe your account has been compromised.

You are responsible for activities performed through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Walkaching may require identity, email, mobile-number, device, or other reasonable verification when necessary to protect users, investigate fraud, determine eligibility, or distribute rewards.

4. Step Tracking and Activity Data

Walkaching may use step counts and other activity information obtained from supported devices, sensors, operating-system services, health or fitness integrations, or other authorized data sources.

Step counts displayed or recorded by Walkaching may differ from another application or device because of synchronization delays, device behavior, permissions, algorithms, connectivity, or other technical factors.

Users must not intentionally manipulate their activity data.

Prohibited activity includes, but is not limited to:

• Artificially generating steps;
• Shaking or mechanically manipulating a device to generate false activity;
• Using scripts, bots, emulators, automation, modified applications, or unauthorized software;
• Manipulating health or fitness records;
• Submitting fabricated activity;
• Exploiting bugs or vulnerabilities;
• Using another person’s activity as your own;
• Using multiple accounts to obtain an unfair advantage.

Walkaching may investigate suspicious activity and may invalidate steps, Coins, challenge results, rewards, or prizes associated with fraudulent or manipulated activity.

5. Walkaching Coins

Walkaching may provide users with virtual units referred to as Coins.

Coins may be used for eligible activities within the Walkaching ecosystem, including participation in certain challenges or other features made available by Walkaching.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Coins:

• Are virtual units within the Walkaching platform;
• Are not legal tender;
• Are not cryptocurrency;
• Do not constitute a bank deposit;
• Do not represent ownership or equity in Walkaching;
• Do not earn interest; and
• Have no value outside the Walkaching ecosystem except where Walkaching expressly provides an authorized redemption or withdrawal mechanism.

Walkaching may establish rules governing how Coins are earned, received, used, transferred, redeemed, forfeited, or otherwise handled.

Any cash-in, cash-out, redemption, or similar feature, if offered, may be subject to separate eligibility, verification, transaction, anti-fraud, minimum/maximum amount, processing, and payment-provider requirements.

Walkaching may correct Coin balances resulting from errors, duplicate transactions, fraud, technical problems, or unauthorized activity.

6. Signup and Promotional Coins

Walkaching may provide signup bonuses, promotional Coins, referral rewards, Beta Coins, or other incentives.

Promotional Coins may have additional conditions, expiration dates, usage restrictions, or eligibility requirements.

Walkaching may change or discontinue promotional programs at any time, subject to applicable law and any commitments already made to eligible users.

7. Challenges

Walkaching may offer free and paid-entry challenges.

A challenge may include specific rules concerning:

• Start and end dates;
• Entrance requirements;
• Coin entry fees;
• Step requirements;
• Ranking or scoring;
• Participant limits;
• Eligibility;
• Rewards or prizes;
• Tie-breaking procedures;
• Verification; and
• Disqualification.

The specific rules displayed for a challenge form part of these Terms.

By joining a challenge, you agree to comply with its applicable rules.

Joining a challenge does not guarantee that you will receive a reward or prize.

8. Challenge Entry Fees

Some challenges may require Coins as an entrance fee.

Before joining such a challenge, Walkaching will display the applicable entry requirement.

Once participation has begun, an entry fee may be non-refundable except where:

• The challenge is cancelled by Walkaching;
• A technical error attributable to Walkaching prevents participation;
• The challenge rules provide otherwise; or
• A refund is required by applicable law.

Walkaching will determine the appropriate treatment of affected entries where a challenge must be cancelled or materially changed.

9. Rewards and Prizes

Eligible challenges may provide Coins, digital rewards, physical prizes, cash-equivalent rewards, promotional items, or other benefits.

Reward details and eligibility requirements will be provided in the applicable challenge rules.

Before releasing certain rewards, Walkaching may require reasonable verification of:

• Account ownership;
• Identity;
• Eligibility;
• Activity records;
• Challenge compliance; or
• Other information necessary to prevent fraud and comply with applicable requirements.

Users who cannot satisfy required verification may be ineligible to receive the applicable reward.

Where required by law, taxes, fees, reporting obligations, or other charges relating to a prize may be handled according to applicable legal requirements and the specific challenge rules.

10. Fair Play and Anti-Cheating

Walkaching is intended to reward legitimate physical activity.

Users must participate fairly.

Walkaching may use automated and manual systems to identify suspicious activity, including unusual step patterns, device manipulation, duplicate accounts, abnormal activity synchronization, or other indicators of potential abuse.

If Walkaching reasonably determines that a user has cheated, manipulated the platform, or violated challenge rules, Walkaching may take appropriate action, including:

• Removing invalid steps;
• Recalculating results;
• Removing the user from a challenge;
• Reversing improperly obtained Coins or rewards;
• Withholding a prize while an investigation is pending;
• Suspending or terminating the account.

Where appropriate, users may contact Walkaching Support to dispute an enforcement decision.

11. Beta Program

Walkaching may operate a Beta version of the Service.

During Beta, certain features, balances, challenges, or data may be temporary.

Walkaching may provide Beta participants with temporary Coins solely for testing purposes. Beta Coins do not represent the user’s normal production Coin balance and may be removed when Beta ends.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, when the Beta period ends:

• Beta-generated challenge participation may be deleted;
• Beta step records and associated counts may be reset;
• Beta-specific rewards and temporary balances may be removed;
• Beta challenges may be removed; and
• The user’s underlying Walkaching account may remain active.

Users participating in Beta acknowledge that Beta functionality is experimental and may contain bugs, incomplete functionality, interruptions, or data resets.

Walkaching will identify Beta functionality where reasonably appropriate.

12. Health and Safety

Walkaching encourages physical activity but does not provide medical advice.

Information, goals, challenges, step counts, notifications, rankings, and other content available through Walkaching are provided for general fitness and engagement purposes.

You are responsible for deciding whether an activity is appropriate for your circumstances.

Do not place yourself or others in danger to earn steps, complete a challenge, improve your ranking, or receive rewards.

Always remain aware of your surroundings and comply with traffic rules, property restrictions, weather warnings, and other safety requirements.

If you have concerns regarding your ability to participate in physical activity, consider seeking advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.

13. Privacy and Personal Information

Walkaching processes personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable privacy and data-protection laws.

Depending on the features you use and the permissions you provide, information processed by Walkaching may include account information, contact information, device information, activity and step data, transaction information, challenge participation, and other information necessary to provide the Service.

Where required, Walkaching will request permission before accessing supported device or health/fitness data.

Please review the Walkaching Privacy Policy for more information about how information is collected, used, stored, shared, retained, and protected and how you may exercise applicable privacy rights.

14. Location Information

Certain Walkaching features may require or optionally use location information.

Where applicable, Walkaching will request the necessary device permission before accessing location information.

You may be able to manage location permissions through your device settings, although disabling permissions may prevent certain features from functioning correctly.

15. Notifications and Communications

Walkaching may send service-related communications necessary for operating your account, including security alerts, verification messages, challenge updates, reward information, and important changes to the Service.

Marketing and promotional communications will be handled separately where consent or an opt-out mechanism is required.

You may manage eligible communication preferences through the options provided by Walkaching or your device.

• Cheating;
• Security risks;
• Abuse of rewards or promotions;

• Required legal or regulatory action.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, Walkaching may provide notice or an opportunity to address the issue.

Termination may result in loss of access to challenges, features, and virtual Coins to the extent permitted by applicable law and these Terms.

18. Account and Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of their Walkaching account through available account settings or by contacting Walkaching Support.

Account deletion may permanently remove or anonymize applicable account information and activity records.

Certain information may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required, including for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, financial recordkeeping, regulatory compliance, or enforcement of these Terms.

Further information is provided in the Walkaching Privacy Policy.

19. Third-Party Services

Walkaching may rely on third-party services such as:

• Authentication providers;
• Cloud infrastructure;
• Analytics providers;
• Email or notification services;
• Health and fitness platforms;
• Mapping or location services;
• Payment providers.

Use of certain third-party services may also be subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Walkaching is not responsible for independent third-party services outside its reasonable control.

20. Service Availability

Walkaching aims to provide a reliable Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The Service may occasionally become unavailable because of maintenance, updates, internet or cloud outages, third-party failures, security incidents, device limitations, or other circumstances.

Walkaching may temporarily suspend features when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, or system integrity.

21. Errors and Corrections

Technical or administrative errors may occasionally affect steps, Coins, challenge rankings, transactions, or rewards.

Walkaching may correct an obvious or verifiable error and, where appropriate, adjust affected balances, results, or records.

Such corrections will not be used to arbitrarily remove legitimately earned benefits.

22. Intellectual Property

The Walkaching name, logo, branding, application, website, software, interface, graphics, content, and related intellectual property are owned by Walkaching or its applicable licensors.

Except as expressly permitted, users may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, license, or commercially exploit Walkaching intellectual property without authorization.

23. User Content

If Walkaching allows users to submit photos, usernames, comments, challenge content, profile information, or other materials, users retain ownership of their content where applicable.

By submitting content to features intended to display or process it, you grant Walkaching the limited rights reasonably necessary to host, process, reproduce, and display that content for operation of the Service.

You must have the right to submit any content you provide.

24. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Walkaching and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses resulting from the use of or inability to use the Service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Walkaching is not responsible for injuries caused by a user’s unsafe behavior while walking or participating in an activity, except to the extent responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

25. No Guarantee of Earnings

Walkaching is primarily an activity, challenge, and rewards platform.

Participation does not guarantee income, profit, financial returns, prizes, or any particular monetary benefit.

Coins, rewards, challenges, promotions, and prize availability may vary according to the applicable rules.

Walkaching must not be treated as an investment, savings product, employment opportunity, or guaranteed source of income.

26. Changes to the Service

Walkaching may improve, modify, add, or discontinue features as the platform evolves.

Material changes that significantly affect user rights, balances, paid participation, or existing rewards will be handled reasonably and in accordance with applicable law.

27. Changes to These Terms

Walkaching may update these Terms from time to time.

When material changes are made, Walkaching may provide notice through the application, website, email, or another reasonable method.

Where required, users may be asked to review and accept updated Terms before continuing to use certain features.

The latest version and effective date of these Terms will be made available through Walkaching.

28. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without prejudice to consumer or other rights that apply under mandatory law.

Any dispute will be handled through the appropriate processes and courts or authorities having jurisdiction under Philippine law.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from exercising rights or remedies available under applicable Philippine consumer-protection laws.

29. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
