Terms of Service — GPS Stats

Last updated: 5 June 2026 (v1.2)

GPS Stats is provided by Joanna Bednarczyk, an independent developer based in Switzerland, operating under the trade name “Studio Volt”. These terms may be assigned to Studio Volt GmbH or SA once incorporated. Your non-waivable consumer rights are unaffected.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using GPS Stats, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the app.

2. Description of Service

GPS Stats is a GPS-based measurement tool that displays real-time speed, altitude, distance, G-force, slope, and atmospheric pressure data from your device's built-in sensors. It is designed for informational and recreational purposes only.

3. Intended Use

GPS Stats is intended for passive measurement during outdoor activities such as skiing, cycling, hiking, running, walking, and similar recreational pursuits. The app is a measurement tool — it does NOT encourage, endorse, or facilitate exceeding speed limits, reckless driving, or any dangerous behavior.

4. Prohibited Uses

You may NOT use GPS Stats for:

• Illegal street racing or speed competitions on public roads
• Any activity that endangers yourself or others
• Evading law enforcement or circumventing traffic safety measures
• Any use that violates local, national, or international laws
• Using app data as official, verified, or legally binding evidence in any legal proceeding
• Commercial purposes without prior written consent from the developer

5. Accuracy Disclaimer

GPS-based speed, altitude, distance, G-force, and other measurements displayed by GPS Stats are approximations derived from your device's sensors. They are NOT legally binding, NOT verified, and should NOT be used as the sole indicator of speed, altitude, or any other metric. Sensor accuracy depends on device hardware, environmental conditions, satellite availability, signal strength, weather, and device placement.

6. Records and Achievements

Records, personal bests, achievements, and statistics displayed in the app are based on GPS and sensor approximations. They do not constitute accurate, verified, or official measurements. They are intended for personal entertainment and reference only. The display of records does not encourage or endorse attempting to break speed limits or engage in dangerous behavior.

7. User-Created Categories and Activities

Users may create custom activity categories within the app. User-created categories and activities are solely the user's responsibility. The developer does not review, endorse, or encourage any specific category or activity created by users.

8. User Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

You are solely responsible for:

• Complying with all applicable traffic laws, speed limits, and safety regulations in your jurisdiction
• Your personal safety and the safety of others while using the app
• Any consequences arising from your activities while using the app
• Ensuring that app use does not distract you from safe operation of vehicles, bicycles, or any equipment
• Mounting your device safely and not interacting with the app while in motion

BY USING THIS APP, YOU EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACTIVITIES. You understand that outdoor activities, sports, and transportation carry inherent risks including but not limited to injury, property damage, and death.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. The developer does not warrant that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that measurement data will be accurate.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the developer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Use or inability to use the app
• Inaccurate measurements, data, or sensor readings
• Personal injury, property damage, or death
• Legal consequences including fines, citations, or criminal charges
• Any actions taken based on app data
• Loss of data or device malfunction during use

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Studio Volt’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the total amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and in any case shall not exceed CHF 50.

Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for gross negligence or wilful intent (Swiss Code of Obligations Art. 100), for fraud, or any non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the app, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or regulation. This clause does not apply to consumers in jurisdictions where consumer-protection law prohibits such indemnification by individual consumers.

12. Data & Privacy

All GPS and sensor data is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or share your location, speed, or tracking data with any third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

13. Age Restriction

You must be at least 16 years old to use GPS Stats. If you are under 16, you may only use the app with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

14. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the app for breach of these Terms or where required by law. Your non-waivable consumer rights, including any right to a refund for a paid feature you can no longer use, are unaffected.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the use of GPS Stats.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the use of the app shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Switzerland. If you reside in the EU/EEA, nothing in these Terms affects your rights under mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

19. Assignment

The developer may assign these Terms to a successor entity (including Studio Volt GmbH or SA once incorporated). Your non-waivable consumer rights are unaffected.

20. Permanent Access and App Continuity

20.1 Definition of “Permanent Access” Purchase

Where the App offers a one-time in-app purchase described as “Permanent Access” (or, in older versions of the App or App Store listing, “Lifetime”), this refers to the lifetime of the product, meaning continued access to the purchased features for as long as the App is generally available on Apple's App Store and continues to be maintained by the developer. It does not mean the lifetime of the user. The developer may discontinue the App or cease maintaining it at any time. This does not affect your non-waivable consumer rights under the law of your country of residence.

This definition does not affect your mandatory consumer rights under the law of your country of residence.

20.2 Apple as Distribution Intermediary

The App is distributed via the Apple App Store under Apple’s terms. Refund requests may be submitted to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com or to the developer directly at contact@studiovolt.dev.
