Terms of Service — The Quest

Effective date: 2026-10-20

The Quest is operated by Zakhar Pauliushchyk (Individual developer), Bogomolova 11, apt. 85, 223709 Soligorsk, Belarus, Belarus. Contact: app.thequest@gmail.com. These terms govern use of the app and its services. Read the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines alongside them. Mandatory consumer and data-protection rights remain unaffected.

1. Eligibility and accounts

The minimum age is 16, subject to higher local requirements and any legally necessary parental authorization. Do not use another person's identity or misrepresent your age or authority. You must have the legal capacity required for the service or obtain legally valid authorization where permitted.

Provide accurate account information, secure your account and promptly report unauthorized use. Available authentication methods may include email/password, Apple and Google. Provider availability depends on the distributed build. Do not share your password with support. You are responsible for activity you authorize, subject to applicable law and responsibility for security failures that are not yours.

The app stores progress and social features against your account. Removing the app does not delete the account. The deletion page describes the current process and its limitations.

2. Explore safely

Quests, map markers, routes and proximity checks are game features, not navigation guarantees, safety instructions, permission to enter land or a promise that a location is accessible. GPS, map data, friends' positions and widget snapshots may be inaccurate or old. A marker does not establish a friend's current location or consent to meet.

For an unsafe or inaccessible game point, including a property or access-hours concern, follow the location-reporting instructions in Support. You do not need to complete a quest to report it. Safety takes priority over rewards, streaks and deadlines. A popular location is not necessarily a safe location, and a proximity radius does not authorize entry anywhere within that area.

Stay aware of surroundings. Do not play while driving, cycling in traffic or crossing a road. Never trespass, enter restricted or dangerous areas, ignore signs or local laws, or interfere with other people to complete a quest. Stop if conditions are unsafe. Choose an accessible alternative or leave a quest unfinished rather than taking a risk. The service is not for emergency response, safeguarding or locating a missing person.

Step counts, distances and activity goals are game information, not medical advice or a medical device. Choose activity appropriate to your circumstances; consult a qualified professional when needed. No reward is a reason to disregard health or safety.

3. Quests, rankings and rewards

Quest availability can depend on location, eligibility, progress, cooldowns and purchased game access. Internet access, permissions, provider availability and device limitations can affect operation. We may correct errors, prevent abuse, balance gameplay and update content with appropriate regard to users' rights and paid entitlements.

Leagues, scores, streaks and rankings are in-game features. Rankings can change as scores and seasons update. Rewards have only the value expressly described in the app. No monetary prize, employment benefit or physical-world entitlement is promised by ordinary quests or leagues. Any future promotion with external prizes would require its own published rules before participation.

Do not spoof location, falsify activity, automate gameplay, manipulate scores, exploit duplicate rewards or bypass account, payment or access controls. Corrections to fraudulent progress should be proportionate and open to a support request where appropriate.

4. Qbucks and virtual items

Qbucks (QB) are virtual game units recorded in your account, used for available in-game items and features. They are not money, deposits, securities or cryptocurrency; they cannot be cashed out or transferred outside features expressly provided by the app. No secondary-market value is promised.

Qbucks can be earned in the app and spent on eligible in-game features. This policy does not represent Qbucks as a direct Apple payment. If paid currency is introduced, price, platform purchase rules and applicable refund/consumer disclosures must be provided before sale. Do not infer that a Qbucks price is an Apple payment charge.

Item descriptions determine their effect. For example, a time-limited shop relocation has an expiry, and consumable items are used when applied. Permanent Flappy Quest access means account-linked access without a scheduled expiry while that feature and the service remain available; it is not a promise that software or servers will exist forever. It does not entitle you to every future paid quest or to a physical location. Corrections, withdrawal or discontinuation must respect applicable consumer rights and any remedies owed for paid digital content.

Displayed balances may require synchronization. Report an incorrect transaction to app.thequest@gmail.com with the approximate time and item, without payment credentials. Do not deliberately exploit a display or synchronization error.

5. Apple purchases and subscriptions

Where Premium or another paid product is offered, the App Store purchase screen provides its actual price, duration and applicable renewal terms. An auto-renewing subscription renews until cancelled under Apple's rules. Manage or cancel Apple subscriptions in Apple account settings; deleting The Quest or its account does not by itself cancel a subscription. Restore eligible purchases using the app's restore option.

Apple processes App Store payments and its refund process applies, alongside mandatory statutory remedies. These terms do not remove cancellation, withdrawal or digital-content rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. We do not promise Premium availability or benefits beyond the product information in the actual released version. Production entitlements must be functional before a paid offer is made.

You retain ownership of your content. You grant the operator a non-exclusive license to host, store, process, display and transmit it to operate the features and audiences you choose, and to take necessary safety and legal actions. The license lasts only as necessary for those purposes, subject to justified retention, legal obligations and copies independently made by recipients. It does not transfer ownership or authorize unrelated commercial use of your likeness.

You must have the rights and permissions needed for photographs, videos, audio, captions and other contributions, including appropriate permission involving identifiable people. Only include music, recordings and other protected works when you have the rights required to share them; availability in another app or in your photo library does not give you those rights. Do not film or record people in circumstances that infringe their privacy or other applicable rights. Do not upload unlawful content, private locations or identifying information without a lawful basis. Public Moments are visible to signed-in users beyond your friend circle. Friendship can arise from reciprocal following; it is not identity verification.

Follow the Community Guidelines. Contact app.thequest@gmail.com about harmful content, giving enough context to locate it. You can report accounts, publications, comments and stories in their contextual menus, and block accounts from a profile’s More menu. Blocking removes mutual follows and cancels open shared quests involving both accounts; it does not recall independent copies of content. Do not rely on The Quest for urgent safety help.

7. Enforcement and disputes about content

We may investigate credible complaints and take appropriate lawful steps concerning content or access to protect users and the service. Ordinary photo and video posts, avatars, stories, comments and description edits are published without mandatory human pre-approval, subject to normal audience rules and technical processing. Authorized operators can remove material or restrict accounts and record a reason. Limited text screening is not a complete automated image/text classifier, and we do not claim continuous human monitoring, instant decisions or an in-app appeal system.

We provide notice and reasons for restrictions where required by law, together with information about available ways to challenge the decision. Where legally permitted, a notice may omit information that would prejudice an investigation, expose another person’s private information or create a safety risk. Contact app.thequest@gmail.com to contest an error. Statutory review and redress rights remain available where applicable. We will not promise confidentiality that legal disclosure obligations could prevent. Reports must be made in good faith; never harass a person or coordinate false reports.

8. Availability and responsibility

We aim to provide a reliable service but cannot promise uninterrupted operation, accurate GPS, permanent availability of every quest or compatibility with every device. Planned changes, outages and third-party services can affect access. Applicable law may require notice, refunds or other remedies for material changes to paid services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided without additional guarantees beyond those expressly given. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including fraud, intentional misconduct, applicable liability for personal injury, or mandatory consumer guarantees. We remain responsible where law makes us responsible. No arbitrary liability cap in this document overrides those rights.

You remain responsible for choosing safe, lawful actions in the physical world, while this does not waive rights concerning a defect or breach attributable to the operator. Costs of mobile data and device services are governed by your provider arrangements.

9. Ending use and changes

You can stop using the service and request account deletion. We may restrict or end access for serious or repeated breaches or legal necessity, with proportionate notice and an opportunity to resolve or contest the matter where required. Treatment of retained records follows the Privacy Policy; a ban is not a license to retain everything indefinitely.

If these terms change materially, we will provide appropriate notice and any choice or consent required by law. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights. If the service is discontinued, applicable obligations for notice and paid entitlements still apply.

10. Applicable law and contact

Applicable law: The laws of the Republic of Belarus apply to these Terms, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection laws and other rights that apply in the user's country of residence. This does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections or courts available under applicable law in their habitual residence. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.
