Terms of Service

Last updated: 3 May 2026

These Terms govern your use of the CrowdKick mobile application and the website at crowdkickapp.com (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

CrowdKick (“we”, “us”, or “CrowdKick”) is an independent app published from Ontario, Canada. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, EPL, FIFA, UEFA, or any professional sports league, club, or team.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 12 years old to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement. The Service is rated 12+ in the App Store.

3. The Service

CrowdKick shows a live heatmap of where fans of your chosen team are gathering. You contribute to the heatmap when the app is open and you have granted location permission. You can choose not to contribute by denying location permission — the app will still load with reduced functionality.

4. Anonymous accounts

The Service does not require you to create a traditional account. On first launch, the app generates an anonymous device ID. Your team allegiance and any pings you generate are linked to that ID and nothing else. You can permanently delete the ID and all associated data from Me tab → Delete account & all data.

5. User-generated content

Your use of CrowdKick generates a stream of anonymous geolocation pings while the app is in the foreground. These pings are aggregated into the public heatmap. You agree:

Not to spoof or fake location data using GPS spoofing tools.
Not to use automated scripts or scrapers to submit pings.
Not to use the Service to harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or otherwise harm any person.
Not to use the Service in a way that violates the law in your jurisdiction.

6. Objectionable content and abuse — zero tolerance

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour on the Service. Even though pings are coordinate-only and contain no user-written text, we recognise that geolocation streams can be misused.

To address misuse, we provide:

An in-app block tool. Long-press a venue or pinpoint and choose “Block this area for 7 days” to suppress all incoming pings within a 100-metre radius for 7 days on your device.
Server-side rate limiting. Automated submissions are throttled and dropped.
Automatic eviction. Pings older than 15 minutes are automatically removed from the live heatmap.
A reporting channel. Email crowdkickapp@gmail.com with the venue name, approximate coordinates, and the date/time. We commit to reviewing every report and acting where appropriate within 24 hours.

We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, remove content, block device IDs, or revoke access to the Service for any user we determine has abused it.

7. Trademarks and third-party content

League names, team names, and team logos shown in CrowdKick are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here nominatively for the sole purpose of identifying the matches and teams the user has chosen to follow. Match data, team logos, and venue information are provided to us under licence by API-Sports. We claim no ownership of these marks, and our use does not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with the trademark owners.

The CrowdKick name, logo, and the heatmap visualisation are our property. You may not use them in connection with any product or service that is not CrowdKick’s without our prior written consent.

8. Intellectual property — the Service itself

All software, design, code, copy, and original artwork in the Service are owned by CrowdKick and protected by copyright and other laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or distribute the Service except as permitted by applicable law.

9. Apple App Store EULA

If you obtained the Service via Apple’s App Store, the following additionally applies:

These Terms are between you and CrowdKick only, not Apple. CrowdKick is solely responsible for the Service and its content.
The licence granted is restricted to a non-transferable licence to use the Service on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the Service.
If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, who will refund the purchase price (if any). Beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation.
CrowdKick — not Apple — is responsible for addressing claims from you or any third party relating to the Service, including product liability, regulatory compliance, and consumer-protection claims.
If a third party claims that the Service or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, CrowdKick (not Apple) is solely responsible for investigation and resolution.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, accurate, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CrowdKick will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed CAD $20.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CrowdKick and its officers, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Sections 7 through 14 survive termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the courts of Ontario, Canada, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Before initiating any legal action, please contact crowdkickapp@gmail.com for an informal resolution.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where required, surface a notice in-app before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
