Subscription Terms
- Subscriptions are purchased as in-app purchases (IAP) through the Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your platform. Apple and Google act as merchant of record and collect and remit any applicable taxes (VAT/GST). We never receive or store your payment card details.
- Monthly or annual billing as selected at checkout
- Cancellation takes effect at end of current billing period
- Early adopter pricing is locked for continuous subscribers
- Lapse of more than 30 days forfeits early adopter pricing
- 30-day grace period: if subscription lapses, social features are hidden but data is preserved
Refunds
- Refunds within 7 days of initial purchase for users who have not made significant use
- Contact support@valkara.app for refund requests
- Annual plan refunds are prorated at our discretion
6. Free Access
Valkara has no time-limited trial. All core features are free forever, and the social layer is currently free with a registered account. Any future paid subscription will be introduced through in-app purchase (see §5), with reasonable notice.
7. Early Adopter Program
Warriors who register via the landing page before 21.12.2026 23:59:59 receive early adopter status. This permanently locks the founding subscription price, subject to:
- Maintaining a continuous subscription (30-day grace period applies after testing period)
- Account remaining in good standing
- Not violating these Terms
Early adopter status is non-transferable and applies to one account only.
8. Referral Program (In-App Feature)
Registered warriors may refer others using a personal referral link or in-app warrior code.
Rewards:
- Referrer receives: 1 month free subscription credit per confirmed referral (no cap)
- Referred user receives: 1 month free subscription credit
- A referral is confirmed once the referred user completes registration and logs 7 active days in the app
- Earned credits are banked and displayed in your dashboard; they are consumed only once paid subscriptions begin at launch (21.12.2026) — nothing is consumed before then
Referral rewards are subject to the referrer's account remaining in good standing. Fraudulent referrals (self-referral, fake accounts, automated sign-ups) will result in account suspension and forfeiture of all referral credits.
9. Affiliate Program
Valkara operates a separate affiliate program for content creators, influencers, and publishers. Full terms are available at valkara.app/affiliate.
Commission: Affiliates earn 10% of each subscription payment made by a user who registered via the affiliate's unique link.
Affiliate program participation requires a separate application and agreement. Affiliate links are distinct from in-app referral links and governed by the Affiliate Program Terms at valkara.app/affiliate.
10. Health & Fitness Disclaimer
Valkara is not a medical service. The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- Biological age calculations are estimates based on available data. They are not medically validated measurements.
- Calorie calculations are estimates.
- Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting a new exercise, nutrition, or wellness programme.
- If you have a pre-existing medical condition, consult your doctor before using fitness tracking features.
11. Solitary Retreat — Special Disclaimer
The Solitary Retreat quest type involves voluntary periods of social isolation for personal reflection.
Before activating a Solitary Retreat quest, you confirm that:
- You are in good mental and physical health
- You have informed a trusted person of your plans
- You understand this is a personal development practice, not a medically supervised intervention
- You will discontinue immediately if you experience distress
Valkara accepts no liability for outcomes arising from Solitary Retreat quests.
12. Substances Shadow — Special Disclaimer
The Substances shadow elimination program supports habit reduction around substance use.
This programme is not a substitute for professional addiction treatment.
If you are dependent on alcohol, drugs, prescription medication, or any controlled substance, consult a qualified healthcare professional or addiction specialist before attempting to change your usage patterns using this app. If you are in crisis, please contact your national emergency services or a dedicated support line in your country.
13. User Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal purpose
- Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm other users
- Post hateful, discriminatory, or violent content
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, hack, or exploit the Service
- Create fake accounts or manipulate leaderboards, streaks, or XP
- Impersonate Valkara staff, other users, or public figures
- Use automated tools to interact with the Service
Violations may result in immediate account suspension without refund.
14. Content You Create
Quest notes, warrior names, and content you create remain yours. By creating content on Valkara, you grant us a licence to display it within the Service (e.g., public profile, leaderboard). We do not claim ownership of your personal data or user-generated content.
15. Intellectual Property
The Valkara name, logo, app design, shadow program content, quest library, warrior tone copy, and all original content are owned by TechniSK s. r. o. You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit this content without written permission.
16. Availability & Changes
We may update, modify, or discontinue features at any time. We will give reasonable notice for changes that materially affect paid features. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, especially during the testing period.
Inactive accounts: to minimise the personal data we hold, an account with no sign-in for 2 years is automatically and permanently deleted, together with its associated cloud data. See our Privacy Policy for full retention details.
The Service relies on third-party providers — Apple and Google (in-app purchases and push notifications), Expo (push delivery and app updates), Supabase (accounts and data), and Vercel (website hosting). Your use of the Service is also subject to their applicable terms, and how each handles your data is described in our Privacy Policy.
17. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- Valkara is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- Our total liability does not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
- During the free testing period, the Service is provided entirely without warranty
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Slovak Republic. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the Slovak Republic.
19. Changes to These Terms
We will notify you of material changes via email. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance.
