Terms of use

In force from 16 November 2026

These are the terms between you and wayloop. By using the app you agree to them. They are short on purpose. Where they say nothing, Apple's standard licence applies.

• wayloop suggests Routes. You decide where it is safe to go.
• wayloop+ renews by itself until you cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
• Apple takes the payment, and refunds are Apple's to give.
• What you record is yours.
• An Account is used on one iPhone at a time.
• Others see your name and photo: keep them fit for anyone to see. A Report is acted on within 24 hours.

1. Who and what

wayloop is an iPhone and Apple Watch app made by Adam Norén, Sweden ("wayloop", "we"). Contact: wayloop@adamnoren.se. These terms cover the app and this website. These terms are also published in Swedish; the two say the same and carry the same weight.

2. Your licence

You may use wayloop on Apple devices you own or control, for yourself and not for resale, as the App Store's rules allow. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies together with these terms; where the two disagree about something these terms cover, these terms apply. You may not copy, decompile or take apart the app beyond what the law lets you do regardless, or use it to harm the service or other people.

3. Accounts

You need an Account to use wayloop. It is made at the end of the welcome, with Sign in with Apple or an email address and a password. It holds your backup, friends, Leaderboards and Challenges. You must be at least 13, and old enough where you live to agree to these terms and to the Privacy policy without a parent's consent. In some EU countries that age is 14, 15 or 16. An Account is used on one iPhone at a time: signing in on another iPhone signs out the one before. An Account used to harass others or to cheat on boards may be closed.

4. Your name, your photo and other people

Your first name, the initial of your last name and your profile photo, if you choose one, are shown to other people; the Privacy policy says to whom. Use your own name, and a photo of yourself or of something that is yours to show. A name or photo may not be sexual, violent, hateful, threatening or harassing, may not pretend to be someone else, and may not advertise or break someone else's rights. Both are checked before anyone else sees them. One that does not pass is not shown, and others go on seeing your earlier photo, or your initial.

• Report. If you see a name or photo that breaks this rule, tap the person and choose Report name or photo. From then on you no longer see that name or photo. wayloop acts on every Report within 24 hours: where the rule is broken, it clears the photo, resets the name to its initial for good, or deletes the Account.
• How it is decided. The check before anyone sees a name or photo is automatic: OpenAI's moderation service marks what may be sexual, violent or similar, and wayloop refuses it. A Report is looked at by a person at wayloop. If wayloop clears your photo, resets your name or closes your Account, it tells you why, and you can write back to have the decision looked at again. Anyone, also someone who does not use wayloop, can tell wayloop about illegal content by writing to wayloop@adamnoren.se, in English or Swedish.
• Ending a friendship. Either friend can end it: tap the friend and choose End friendship. You leave each other's friends board, and each of you leaves the Challenges the other started. A Challenge someone else started keeps you both. An invite sent before the friendship ended no longer makes you friends, but a new one can. Neither of you then counts toward the other's months of wayloop+ again. Ending a friendship does not take back what invites already gave.

5. wayloop+ and Founder

• What it is. wayloop+ unlocks every Route, and every Activity on one, for as long as it is on. Without it you can still start an Activity with no Route (Just go). It paints your Coverage, as any Activity does. A Route needs wayloop+. Everything else, from Explore, Stats and Goals to Community, your Places and your backup, is free without it. It is sold as a yearly or a monthly subscription, and a week or a month of it can also come from invites (below). Founder is a single payment that gives wayloop+ for as long as wayloop is offered, and may stop being sold at any time.
• Price. The price is the one the App Store shows you, in your currency, tax included where that applies, before you confirm.
• Free days. The yearly plan can start with 7 days free for someone who has not had them before. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before they end, the first year is charged.
• Renewal. A subscription renews for the same period at the price then in force, and your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before the period ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. A price increase is told to you beforehand and, where Apple requires it, needs your yes.
• Cancelling. In Settings, your name, Subscriptions, or from Manage subscription in the app. wayloop+ stays on until the period you paid for ends. Removing the app or deleting your Account does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds. Apple is the seller and handles payments and refunds: reportaproblem.apple.com. If you live in the EU or the UK you have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase, which Apple carries out; rights the law gives you are not reduced by these terms.
• A new iPhone. Restore purchases brings wayloop+ back on any device using the same Apple ID.
• Invites. Opening a friend's invite gives you a week of wayloop+, once, if your Account has never had wayloop+. The week starts the day you join. Every three new friends who join through your invites give you a month of wayloop+, and each friend counts only once. The month starts the day the third one joins, or when a month already running ends, and runs alongside a subscription you pay for without adding to it. A week or a month ends as a cancelled subscription does: an Activity running when it ends finishes and paints, and nothing is charged. What invites give may change or end, but a week or a month already given runs to its end.

6. Out on the street

A Route is a suggestion drawn from OpenStreetMap data, which can be wrong or out of date. A street on the map may be closed, private, unlit or unsafe. You are responsible for where you go: follow traffic rules and signs, respect private property, keep your eyes on the street and not on the screen, and do not use the app in a way that takes your attention while cycling. Distances, Climb, steps and active energy are estimates. wayloop is not a medical device and gives no medical advice; talk to a doctor before starting hard exercise if you have reason to.

7. What is yours, and what is shared

Your Activities, Coverage, Routes, Places and photos are yours. You give wayloop permission to store and process them to run the features you use and, unless you turn off Help improve wayloop, to make wayloop better, as the Privacy policy describes; that includes showing your name and profile photo to others, as section 4 says. If you add your paint to Everyone's map, the counts it becomes part of stay in the map after you leave, but your own paint is taken out.

8. Map data and names

Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. The app, its design, the name wayloop and the artwork belong to wayloop. Open source licences are listed in the app.

9. Changes and availability

wayloop is made by a small team. Features can change, and the service can be unavailable at times; a City can be added, redrawn or removed, and paint does not always carry over to a redrawn map. If wayloop is ever closed down, subscribers are told beforehand and nothing further is charged. These terms can change, for example when the law changes or a feature is added or changed. A change that matters is said in the app at least 30 days before it applies. If you do not accept it, you can cancel wayloop+ and delete your Account before then. If you go on using wayloop after that, you accept it.

10. What wayloop answers for

wayloop works to keep the app running and your backup safe, but cannot promise that it will always work without faults. As far as the law allows, wayloop is not liable for indirect loss or for what happens out on a Route, and its total liability to you is limited to what you paid for wayloop+ in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any right you have as a consumer that cannot be signed away, such as the right to an app that works as described.

11. Apple

These terms are between you and wayloop, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no duty to maintain or support it, and is not liable for claims about it, beyond refunding the price where a warranty it owes fails. wayloop, not Apple, handles any claim about the app, such as that it does not meet a law or a consumer protection rule, or that it breaks someone else's rights, such as copyright. When you use the app, you also follow the terms of other services you use with it, such as your mobile plan. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. You confirm that you are not in a country under a US embargo and not on a US list of prohibited parties.

12. Garmin

You can connect your Garmin account in Settings. Then a walk, run or hike you record on a Garmin watch can be added to wayloop with one tap. What wayloop receives from Garmin, and what it keeps, is in the Privacy policy. This section applies once you connect. Garmin lets wayloop receive your walks only if you agree to what follows.

• Garmin is separate. Garmin does not make, endorse or support wayloop. Your use of your Garmin watch and Garmin Connect is between you and Garmin, under Garmin's own terms.
• As it is. What comes from Garmin is given as it is. Garmin does not promise that it is correct, complete or on time. Garmin also does not promise that adding walks from Garmin always works, or that it is secure and free of faults. You use it at your own risk.
• Garmin's liability. As far as the law allows, Garmin is not liable to you for any loss or damage that comes from wayloop, or from walks from Garmin in it. That covers direct and indirect loss, such as lost or wrong data. As far as the law allows, you also give up any claim against Garmin about wayloop. Nothing here takes away a right the law gives you as a consumer that cannot be signed away.
• Claims against Garmin. If someone makes a claim against Garmin because you broke these terms or the law when using walks from Garmin in wayloop, you cover Garmin's loss and costs, as far as the law allows.
• Garmin can enforce this. Garmin is a third-party beneficiary of this section and may enforce it.
• Report abuse. If you see wayloop being misused, write to wayloop@adamnoren.se. For example: an Account that adds someone else's walks from Garmin, cheats on boards or harasses others. In the app you can also use Report name or photo (section 4). wayloop looks at every report, and can stop an Account from connecting Garmin, or close it.

13. Law and disputes

Swedish law applies, and Swedish courts decide disputes. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of your country. You may sue in your country's courts, and wayloop can only sue you there. Write first: most things are solved by an email. Consumers in Sweden can also turn to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN), and wayloop takes part when they do.
