3. Service Description

3.1 Core Features (Free Tier)

The core free features include: GPS-tracked run recording with live route visualization; automatic capture of the hexagonal map cells your GPS-tracked route passes through; territory conquest when you run through hexagons held by another user; global, friends, and all-time leaderboards ranked by total area captured; an achievement system with 38 achievements across 6 categories (Distance, Runs, Streak, Territory, Area, Special) with 6 tiers each (Bronze through Elite); a follow system with request-based connections; and user profiles with customizable privacy settings.

3.2 Premium Features (Wibto Pro)

Wibto Pro is a paid subscription that unlocks additional features including: territory attack alerts, route explorer with algorithmic suggestions, 1v1 challenges (1-day, 3-day, and 7-day durations), squad mode (teams of up to 5 members with owner/co-leader/member roles), advanced analytics dashboard with pace charts and trends, personal heatmap, GPX export of run data, territory animations and custom territory names, profile showcase features, seasonal pro league, unlimited run history (free tier limited to last 20 runs), full cursor-based run pagination, GPS coordinate export, and Auto Conquest (collecting walks recorded during a session you start in the App as unclaimed territory; see Section 7.5).

3.3 Service Availability

We strive to maintain the Service's availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access. The Service depends on third-party infrastructure (Google Cloud, Firebase, Mapbox, Apple services) and may be unavailable due to: scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, third-party service outages, network failures, force majeure events, or any other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from Service unavailability.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Subscription Plans

Wibto Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, processed exclusively through Apple's In-App Purchase system via StoreKit 2. Current pricing is displayed in the App and may vary by region as determined by Apple's pricing tiers.

4.2 Billing and Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You will be charged through your Apple ID account. You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time through your device's App Store settings (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions).

4.3 Free Trials

We may offer free trial periods for the yearly plan. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the displayed price. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is generally limited to one trial per Apple ID.

4.4 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policy. We do not process refunds directly. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, you acknowledge that digital content delivery begins immediately upon purchase, and you expressly consent to waive your 14-day withdrawal right under the Consumer Rights Directive once download or streaming begins.

4.5 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next billing period following notice. Apple will notify you of any price increases, and your continued subscription after the price change constitutes acceptance.

4.6 Subscription Expiration

Upon expiration or cancellation of your Wibto Pro subscription, you will immediately lose access to all premium features. Your data (runs, territories, achievements) will be retained, but premium-only features will be locked. Free-tier limitations (such as the 20-run history cap) will apply.

5. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

5.1 General Conduct

You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with these Terms. You are solely responsible for your conduct and any content you submit to the Service.

5.2 Prohibited Activities

You agree NOT to:

(a) GPS Spoofing and Cheating: Use any means to falsify, manipulate, or simulate GPS location data, including but not limited to GPS spoofing apps, emulators, modified firmware, VPN-based location masking, or any other tool or technique that generates artificial or inaccurate location data. Territories created through spoofed GPS data are invalid and may be removed without notice.

(b) Account Abuse: Create multiple accounts, share account credentials with others, buy, sell, or transfer accounts, or use automated scripts (bots) to interact with the Service.

(c) System Interference: Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, other users' accounts, or our infrastructure; reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Service; exploit bugs, vulnerabilities, or unintended features; overwhelm the Service with excessive automated requests beyond normal use; or circumvent rate limits, security measures, or access controls.

(d) Harmful Content: Use offensive, discriminatory, threatening, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable usernames, territory names, squad names, challenge titles, or any other user-generated content. This includes but is not limited to content that promotes hatred, violence, harassment, or illegal activities.

(e) Intellectual Property Infringement: Use the Service in any manner that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.

(f) Real-World Safety: Use the Service in any way that endangers yourself or others, including running in unsafe areas, ignoring traffic signals, trespassing on private property, or running while distracted by the App. You are solely responsible for your physical safety while using the Service.

(g) Commercial Exploitation: Use the Service for any unauthorized commercial purpose, including advertising, solicitation, or data harvesting.

5.3 Enforcement

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to investigate and take appropriate action in response to violations of these Terms, including: issuing warnings, temporarily or permanently suspending accounts, removing content, restricting access to features, and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement authorities. We may take enforcement action at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

6. Territory System and Game Mechanics

6.1 Territory Creation

The map is divided into hexagonal cells. When you record a run, each cell that your GPS-tracked route passes through is captured automatically and assigned to you. Captures and territory area are calculated server-side; client-submitted values are overridden by server calculations. GPS readings that do not meet the App's accuracy requirements may be ignored.

6.2 Territory Conquest

If your recorded route passes through a hexagonal cell held by another user, ownership of that cell transfers to you, and both users' statistics are adjusted accordingly. Territory conquest is fully automated, deterministic, and based solely on recorded GPS routes and the map's cell grid. There is no manual dispute resolution, no cooldown period, no protection window, and no appeal mechanism for conquests.

6.3 Spatial Indexing

The hexagonal cells are based on the H3 hierarchical spatial index. The cell size and the technical details of how cells are calculated may change over time as we improve the game.

6.4 No Real-World Rights

Territories in Wibto are purely virtual and confer absolutely no real-world property rights, land ownership, usage rights, or any other legal claim to any physical location.

Wibto territories exist solely within the context of the game.

7. Challenges, Squads, and Competitive Features

7.1 Challenges (Pro)

Wibto Pro users can create 1v1 challenges with durations of 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days. The challenged user may accept or decline. The winner is determined by the greater area captured during the challenge period. In the event of a tie, no winner is declared. Challenge results are final and not subject to appeal.

7.2 Squads (Pro)

Wibto Pro users can create or join squads of up to 5 members. Squad roles include Owner, Co-Leader, and Member. Owners and Co-Leaders can manage membership and approve join requests. Squad leaderboards rank teams by combined total area. Squad membership is voluntary and members may leave at any time.

7.3 Leaderboards

Leaderboards rank users by total area captured. Global leaderboards are calculated monthly; all-time leaderboards reflect cumulative performance. You may opt out of appearing on public leaderboards via Settings > Privacy > Show on Leaderboard. Leaderboard data from past periods is retained as historical records. Leaderboard rankings are calculated automatically and are not subject to manual adjustment or appeal.

7.4 Achievements

The achievement system awards badges across 6 categories with 6 tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Elite). Achievements are evaluated automatically after each run based on cumulative statistics. Thresholds include distance milestones (1 km to 1,000 km), run count (1 to 100), area milestones (0.1 km² to 100 km²), and special achievements (e.g., Night Owl for runs after midnight, Early Bird for runs before 6:00 AM). Achievement progress and unlocks are permanent and are deleted only upon account deletion.

7.5 Auto Conquest (Pro)

Auto Conquest lets Wibto Pro users record walks without starting a run, during a session they turn on in the App that ends automatically (at local midnight or after at most 12 hours). Walks stay on your device until you choose to collect them and expire after 7 days. Collecting a walk only captures hexagons that no other user holds: it never takes or defends territory held by another user, which still requires a run. The number of hexagons you can capture through Auto Conquest is limited per day (currently 100). Hexagons captured this way count toward your total territory and experience points, but not toward monthly leaderboards, streaks, challenges, quests or squad wars. Walks recorded with simulated locations, recorded in a vehicle, or overlapping one of your runs are not accepted, and repeated attempts to submit simulated walks are treated as GPS spoofing under Section 5(a) and may lead to suspension under Section 10. We may change these limits or suspend Auto Conquest at any time.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its source code, algorithms (territory conquest calculation, spatial indexing, route suggestion, achievement evaluation), design, graphics, user interface, logo, and all related intellectual property, is owned by Serhan Emre Telatar and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

By submitting content to the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, aggregate, and display your content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

This license survives termination of your account only to the extent necessary for: maintaining the integrity of the public territory map (conquered territories), preserving historical leaderboard records, and fulfilling legal obligations.

Upon termination by us, you will lose access to your account and all associated data.

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon account deletion or termination: your profile will be removed from public view; your territories will no longer be associated with your username on the map; your runs, territories, and achievements will be deleted from our active database; your follow relationships, challenge history, and squad memberships may not be fully purged from all systems (see our Privacy Policy for details); historical leaderboard snapshots may retain your username and statistics; and any active Wibto Pro subscription must be cancelled separately through your App Store settings. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that accrued prior to termination.
