State888 Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

By creating a State888 account, or by using State888 in any way, you agree to these Terms and to the State888 Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. If you do not agree, do not use State888.

2. Eligibility and minimum age

You must be at least 16 years old — or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher — to use State888.

By using State888 you confirm that you meet the applicable age requirement, that you have the legal capacity to accept these Terms, and that you are not barred from using the service under any applicable law. Where the law of your country requires the consent or authorisation of a parent or guardian for someone of your age, you confirm that you have it.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for everything that happens under your account.
• The information you give us — including your username, profile details, and date of birth where provided — must be accurate, and you must keep it up to date.
• One person, one account. Do not impersonate anyone else, and do not create an account on behalf of someone else without their authority.
• Usernames are allocated on a first-come basis. We may reclaim a username that is inactive, impersonating, infringing, or otherwise in breach of these Terms.
• Tell us promptly at support@state888.app if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

4. Your content

“Your content” means anything you upload, post, send, or record in State888 — profile details, photos and video, Stories, posts, messages, voice messages, community and event content, activities, and match results.

• You own your content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of it to us.
• Licence to operate the service. You grant BARDOS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for technical purposes such as resizing and formatting), and display your content, solely so that we can operate, provide, and improve State888 and show your content to the audience you selected. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where the content has already been shared with other users, as described in the Privacy Policy.
• You are responsible for it. You confirm that you have the rights necessary to share what you share, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights or break any law.
• Other people’s privacy. Do not post photos, video, or information about other people without their agreement.

5. Sports and activity information

Sports, levels, roles, and training preferences you set on your profile are shown to other users so they can find and connect with you. This information is self-declared: State888 does not verify skill level, qualifications, or claimed achievements, and you should not treat another user’s profile as a credential check.

6. GPS and activity tracking

State888 records activities using your device’s GPS and sensors. Accuracy depends on your device, your surroundings, signal quality, and operating-system settings, and the figures State888 produces are estimates. Do not rely on them for navigation, safety, competition scoring, or any other purpose where accuracy is critical.

You are responsible for your own safety while training. Do not operate the app in a way that distracts you from your surroundings, and follow the rules of the road, the venue, and any event you take part in.

Routes and locations you share can reveal where you live, work, or regularly train. Think about that before sharing an activity publicly.

7. Health data and no medical advice

With your authorisation, State888 can read health and fitness data from the health store on your device — Apple Health on iOS, Health Connect on Android. This is optional on both platforms and State888 remains usable without it. On iOS only, State888 also writes activities you record in the app back to Apple Health; on Android it only reads. What is read, what is stored, and how to revoke access are set out in the Privacy Policy.

State888 is not a medical device and does not provide medical, diagnostic, clinical, or professional health advice. Nothing in the app is a substitute for consulting a qualified professional. State888 makes no promise about fitness, performance, health, or competitive outcomes. Consult a doctor before starting or changing a training programme, and stop and seek help if you feel unwell.

8. Communities and events

You can create and join communities, and create, discover, and join events. If you create a community or an event, you are responsible for the information you publish about it, for any real-world activity you organise, and for complying with the laws, permissions, insurance requirements, and venue rules that apply to it. BARDOS is not the organiser of, and is not responsible for, events arranged through State888.

If you attend an event you found through State888, you do so at your own risk. Use the same judgement you would when meeting anyone new, and meet in a public place where you can.

9. Chat and communications

State888 provides one-to-one and group chat, including voice messages. Messages are stored so they can be delivered and so you can access your history. They are not end-to-end encrypted, and they may be reviewed by BARDOS where they are reported or where we have a legal or safety reason to do so. Do not use chat to send unlawful, abusive, or unsolicited commercial content.

10. Organisations, coaches and venues

If you create or manage an organisation, coaching, or venue presence on State888, you confirm that you are authorised to represent that entity and that the information you publish is accurate. You remain solely responsible for the services you offer, for any arrangement you enter into with a user, and for holding the qualifications, licences, and insurance that your activity requires.

A presence on State888 is not an endorsement, certification, or verification by BARDOS, unless we have explicitly said otherwise. State888 does not process payments between users, coaches, venues, clubs, or organisers; any payment happens directly between you and the other party, outside the app, and at your own risk.

11. Match results

Match results are entered by users. State888 does not officiate, verify, or certify results, and a result recorded in the app has no official standing in any competition. Do not enter results that misrepresent what happened or that name other people falsely.

12. Stories

Stories are short-form posts shared with the audience your profile settings allow. Even where a Story stops being displayed after a period, people who saw it may have captured or recorded it. Do not treat a Story as private or as guaranteed to disappear.

13. Prohibited conduct

You must not use State888 to:

• harass, bully, threaten, stalk, or intimidate anyone, or encourage others to do so;
• post hateful, discriminatory, violent, sexually explicit, or otherwise unlawful content;
• post content that sexualises or endangers minors, or otherwise put a child at risk;
• impersonate another person, club, coach, venue, or organisation;
• share another person’s private information, images, or location without their agreement;
• promote doping, dangerous training practices, self-harm, eating disorders, or unlicensed medical or performance products;
• send spam or unsolicited commercial messages, or run scams or fraud;
• falsify activities, results, or achievements in order to mislead others;
• infringe intellectual property rights, or upload content you do not have the rights to;
• scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract data from State888 by automated means;
• interfere with, overload, or attempt unauthorised access to State888, our infrastructure, or another user’s account;
• circumvent a block, suspension, or ban;
• use State888 for any unlawful purpose.

14. Moderation and reporting

You can report profiles, messages, communities, events, results, and Stories from within the app, and you can block other users. We review reports and may remove content, limit a feature, or restrict an account where we consider these Terms have been breached. We aim to act proportionately and, where appropriate, to tell you what happened — but we may act immediately and without notice where there is a serious risk to a person, to the platform, or to us.

If you believe something on State888 infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us at support@state888.app with enough detail for us to identify the content and your rights in it.

15. Suspension and termination

You can stop using State888 and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict access to features, if you breach these Terms, if your account is used unlawfully, if we are required to do so by law, or if continuing to provide the service to you would create a serious risk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why.

16. Intellectual property

The State888 name, the BARDOS name, the associated logos, the app, the website, and the software, design, and content we provide remain the property of BARDOS IT SOLUTIONS LTD and its licensors. These Terms grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use State888 for its intended purpose. They do not give you any right to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our software or branding.

17. Third-party services

State888 relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase and Google Cloud Platform for infrastructure, Sign in with Google and Sign in with Apple for authentication, Apple and Google notification services for push notifications, Apple HealthKit on supported Apple devices, and the app stores through which State888 is distributed. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. Links to third-party sites or content in the app are not endorsements.

18. Disclaimers

State888 is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that activity or health figures will be accurate, or that content posted by other users will be accurate, lawful, or appropriate. We are not responsible for the conduct of other users, whether online or in person.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. If you are a consumer, you keep the statutory rights available to you under the law of your country of residence.

19. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, BARDOS IT SOLUTIONS LTD is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of State888. Our total liability arising out of or in connection with State888 is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us for State888 in the twelve months before the claim, or GBP 100.

20. Account deletion

You can delete your State888 account at any time. Instructions, including how to request deletion if you can no longer access the app, are on the State888 account deletion page. What is deleted and what may remain is set out in the Privacy Policy. Uninstalling the app does not delete your account.

21. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in, and to the protection of the mandatory consumer law of, your country of residence.

22. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as State888 evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use State888 after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
