Terms

You must be 16 or older and able to form a contract. Athletes need an account. Viewers do not — opening a room link is allowed for anyone the athlete lets in.

You choose a link name (slug) and keep it while your room is active. Room names are not sold or reserved, and we can reclaim or rename one that is abusive, impersonating someone, or blocking a race organiser. Don't pick a name that pretends to be a club, sponsor or another person.

You agree not to:

broadcast somebody's location without their knowledge; share a room password you were not given; upload courses you have no right to distribute; scrape, resell or white-label the live feed; hammer the service with automated traffic; or try to reach other users' data or the admin area.

Official course files are added by our admins. You can request a race that is missing and add it to your own list with a target time. A request or course can be declined or corrected if the source is unclear or the rights aren't there.

Position comes from a phone GPS and is shown as-is. It can drift, lag or stop — a dropped session is silent. Don't use Cheerzone for navigation, and never rely on it as your only means of calling for help in an emergency. You run at your own risk.

Holding SOS shows the people watching your run that you need help and where you were last seen, and opens a text to your emergency contact for you to send. Cheerzone is not an emergency service: it doesn't contact rescue services, only viewers with the room open see the alert, and it needs a phone signal to reach them. In danger, call 112 yourself.

A room password keeps casual viewers out, not determined ones: anyone you give the link and password to can see the run and pass it on. Treat both as secret, and change the password if it spreads.

Your photo, bio and course files remain yours. You give us permission to store and display them inside Cheerzone — nothing more. Remove them and we stop showing them.

The service is provided as available, without an uptime promise. Rooms can have a viewer limit, and we can change limits, features or prices. Live sessions can also be interrupted by things we don't control: your phone, battery, network or GPS.

You can stop using Cheerzone at any time and ask us to delete your account and room. We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we'll tell you why unless we're not allowed to.

To the extent the law allows, Cheerzone is provided “as is” and we aren't liable for lost runs, missed updates, device or data loss, or any indirect damage. Where liability can't be excluded, it is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

We'll post the new version here with a new date. Continuing to use Cheerzone after that means you accept it.

Write to berei.gabor1@gmail.com for anything here — or to report a room that shouldn't exist.
