Terms of Use
Last updated: October 17, 2026
These terms are between you and Threadle, LLC ("we", "us"), who make Strideborne. By playing, you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect.
Your account
- You need an account to play. Keep your sign-in to yourself; you're responsible for what happens on your account.
- One person per account. Don't sell, share or trade accounts.
- If you're under 13, you play in kids mode (our Privacy Policy explains it). If you're under 18, you need a parent's OK to play and to buy anything.
- If you don't play for 3 years, we delete your account and everything on it.
Usernames, clubs and behavior
- No usernames, club names or messages that are offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening, or that pretend to be someone else, including us.
- Be decent to other players. You can report and block players who aren't.
- We may change a username or club name that breaks these rules, and mute or remove players who keep breaking them.
- What you write in the game stays yours. You let us store it and show it to other players as part of the game.
Fair play
The game checks races on our servers. Cheating, hacking, bots, exploiting bugs or tampering with the game or its data isn't allowed. We may reset progress, remove results, or close accounts that do it.
Computer runners
Some races include computer-controlled runners, for example in Quick Match when not enough players are online. Ranked races are only ever against real players.
Stridebux and purchases
- Stridebux and items are a license to use them in the game. They have no real-world value, can't be cashed out, and can't be traded or moved to another account.
- Purchases are made through Apple (on iPhone) or Google Play (on Android). All purchases are final: we don't give refunds, including if the game shuts down. Apple's and Google's own refund rules and your rights under the law still apply.
- If something you bought doesn't show up, contact us. For a charge you didn't make, contact Apple or Google.
- We may change prices and what's for sale. We won't take away things you've bought, except under "Fair play" above or if the game shuts down.
Ads
- The game is free and shows video ads between races, and reward videos you can choose to watch.
- Remove Ads turns off the videos between races. You can still choose to watch a reward video.
- A reward video pays its reward only when it has been watched to the end and the ad company confirms it.
- Ads come from other companies. We aren't responsible for what they show or for the websites they link to.
The game can change
We update the game: we may add, change or remove features, events and items, and rebalance the numbers. We may also stop running the game one day; if we do, we'll give notice in the game first. Purchases aren't refunded if the game shuts down.
Ownership
The game, its characters, art, music and code belong to us or to the people who license them to us. You may share videos and screenshots of your play. Don't copy, resell or reverse-engineer the game. If you think something in the game uses your work or your name without permission, contact us and we'll look into it.
No guarantees
We work hard to keep the game running, but it's provided "as is", without guarantees that it will always work or be free of bugs. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing in these terms takes away rights the law gives you as a consumer where you live.
Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time in Profile › Account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the game or its content, has no duty to support it, and isn't responsible for any claims about it. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms as a third party.
Changes and the law
If these terms change, we'll update the date at the top; for big changes we'll tell you in the game. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA. If you live somewhere whose consumer laws protect you, those still apply. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
