Terms of use
These terms apply when you use the Dead Pace app and its server. Please read them together with the privacy notice. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
1. Who we are
Dead Pace is provided by Jonas Dietrich – JoDi Labs, Lilienthalstraße 70, 14612 Falkensee. Contact: support@deadpace.run.
2. What Dead Pace is
Dead Pace is a running app with an audio story. While you run, episodes play in your ear and react to your distance and pace; between runs you build up a camp. The first episodes are free. A subscription (Dead Pace Plus) unlocks the rest of the season, and some camp items can be bought separately. They only change how the camp looks.
3. Run safely: you stay in charge
- The story is fiction. Characters may tell you to run, hurry, turn or hide. That's part of the story, never an instruction for the real world. Always follow traffic rules, watch the road and the people around you, and stop or slow down whenever you need to.
- Keep the volume low enough to hear traffic, cyclists and other people.
- Dead Pace is not a medical product and gives no medical advice. Distances, pace and training plans are estimates. If you have health concerns, talk to a doctor before you start training.
4. Your account
You can use Dead Pace without signing in; your progress then stays tied to this phone. If you sign in with Google or email, your progress syncs between your devices. Keep your sign-in safe. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Your data → Delete my account) or on the account deletion page.
5. Subscription, trial and purchases
- Purchases are made through Google Play (or the App Store) and are billed by that store. The price, the billing period and any free trial are shown before you confirm.
- A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it. You can cancel any time in your store account (Google Play → Payments & subscriptions); it then runs until the end of the period you have paid for. If you cancel during a free trial, you aren't charged. Deleting your Dead Pace account does not cancel a store subscription.
- Refunds follow the store's refund rules. Your statutory rights, including any right of withdrawal you have as a consumer, are not affected.
- Camp items bought separately are yours for as long as Dead Pace is offered. They are only looks and give no advantage in the story.
- Invite codes, rewarded ads and other promotions can give you free time or items as described in the app. We may end a promotion for the future; what you have already earned stays.
6. Ads
The free version can offer optional rewarded ads (you choose to watch one for a reward). In the EU you are asked for consent first, and you can change your choice in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
7. Fair use
Please don't attack, overload or reverse-engineer the server, get around payments or checks, or copy and share the episodes. We may suspend an account that does this, after a warning where reasonable.
8. Content
The episodes, characters, artwork and sounds belong to us or our licensors. Your purchase or subscription lets you listen to them in the app for your own private use.
9. Availability and changes
We work to keep Dead Pace running, but the server can be down for maintenance or because of faults. We may improve and change the app and these terms; if a change affects you significantly, we tell you in the app before it applies. If you are subscribed and we stop offering Dead Pace, we refund the time you have paid for and not yet used.
10. Liability
We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and where the law makes us liable regardless of fault. For slight negligence we are only liable for breaching a duty that is essential to the contract, and then only for the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise we are not liable.
11. Law and disputes
German law applies. If you are a consumer living in another country, the mandatory consumer protection of that country still applies to you. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If something goes wrong, please write to us first: support@deadpace.run.
