Terms ofService

Effective Date: August 1, 2025

Welcome to AlleyKat! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our mobile app ("App"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms.

1. Use of the App

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. You agree not to use the App for unlawful purposes or in a way that could harm other users or the service.

2. Account Registration

You agree to provide accurate information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

3. User Content

By uploading photos or media, you grant us a license to use, store, and display them within the App. You retain ownership of your content.

4. SMS / Text Messaging

AlleyKat offers two separate text-messaging programs, and you must opt in to each independently:

  • Marketing texts — promotions, product updates, and other AlleyKat-initiated messages.
  • Race-operational texts — start times, weather delays, results, and other updates about a specific race, sent by that race's director to the phone number on file for registrants who opt in.

By opting in to either program, you consent to receive automated text messages at the mobile number you provide. Consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of any purchase or race registration. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP at any time to opt out of that program, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You can review or change your text preferences at any time in the App's Privacy settings.

5. Health Disclaimer

The App is for fitness tracking purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Always consult a physician before starting a new fitness regimen.

6. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms or cause harm to the App or its users.

7. Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for injuries, data loss, or damages resulting from the use of the App.

8. Changes

We may update these Terms. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

10. Compliance with Laws

By using the AlleyKat platform, you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including but not limited to traffic laws, pedestrian laws, and local ordinances. You are solely responsible for knowing and following the laws that apply in your location.

11. No Encouragement of Illegal Conduct

AlleyKat does not encourage, endorse, or require participants to violate traffic laws or engage in unsafe, reckless, or illegal behavior. Any references to "races," "competition," or "timing" are for informational and recreational purposes only and do not imply permission to disregard laws or public safety.

12. Participant Responsibility

You acknowledge that:

  • You must obey all traffic signals, signs, and right-of-way rules
  • You must yield to vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians as required by law
  • You may need to stop, slow down, or alter your route to remain compliant and safe
  • Your performance, ranking, or finish time does not justify unsafe or unlawful conduct

13. Public Spaces & Open Routes

All activities take place in open, public spaces that are not closed or controlled by AlleyKat. AlleyKat does not provide traffic control, route enforcement, marshals, or supervision.

14. Assumption of Risk

You assume all risks associated with participating in outdoor running activities in public spaces, including risks arising from traffic, road conditions, weather, and interactions with others.

15. Disqualification for Unsafe Behavior

AlleyKat reserves the right to disqualify participants or invalidate results if we determine, in our sole discretion, that activity data suggests unsafe, reckless, or unlawful behavior.
