Terms of Service
Last updated: April 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing and using pwrdby's services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use our services.
These terms apply regardless of where you access the service from. If any local laws impose additional requirements, those apply on top of these terms.
2. Description of Services
pwrdby is a free integration layer that connects Spotify and Strava, automatically syncing the music you listened to during your workouts into your Strava activity descriptions. Our services include:
- Automatic Spotify-to-Strava music sync after each activity
- Timestamped playlist logging in your Strava activity description
- Community stats and anonymised listening trends
- Weekly community playlist of top running tracks
- Personal activity history and music insights
3. Free to Use
pwrdby is completely free. There are no subscription fees, sign-up costs, or hidden charges. We succeed when athletes love the app.
4. Account & Connections
You may sign in using your Google account and optionally connect your Spotify and Strava accounts. You can disconnect any linked service at any time from your account settings.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your connected accounts and for all activity under your pwrdby account.
5. Third-Party Platform Terms
Your use of Spotify and Strava is governed by their own Terms of Service and Privacy Policies. We are not responsible for their policies, services, or actions.
You are solely responsible for maintaining compliance with Spotify's and Strava's terms, including their restrictions on automated data access.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use pwrdby for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or exploit our services
- Use automated tools to artificially inflate community stats
- Share your account credentials with others
- Interfere with or disrupt the service or its infrastructure
7. Intellectual Property
pwrdby does not claim ownership of your workout data, music preferences, or any content synced via Spotify or Strava. Your data belongs to you.
The pwrdby app, brand, and software are owned by pwrdby. You may not reproduce, copy, or distribute any portion of the service without written permission.
8. Data & Privacy
We handle your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which covers your rights under GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, LGPD, and other applicable privacy frameworks. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting m@pwrdby.run.
9. Limitation of Liability
pwrdby provides the service on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no guarantees about sync accuracy, uptime, or uninterrupted service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, pwrdby is not liable for:
- Missed syncs due to Spotify or Strava API outages or changes
- Account suspensions or access revocations by third-party platforms
- Inaccurate music matching due to timing differences
- Data loss caused by third-party service failures
- Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law — including liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold pwrdby harmless from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your use of the service, violation of these terms, or infringement of any third-party rights — to the extent permitted by your local law.
11. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these terms shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails, disputes may be escalated to mediation or binding arbitration.
If you are a consumer in the EU, you retain any mandatory dispute resolution rights under your local law, including access to the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform. Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights.
12. Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom. Any legal action shall be subject to UK jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer resident in another jurisdiction (e.g. an EU member state, California, Canada, or Brazil), you may also benefit from mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.
13. Amendments
pwrdby reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Where required by law, we will notify you of significant changes before they take effect. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of amended terms.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
