Terms of use

We are Projektt Technologies Ltd (company number 12664203) ("Projektt", "us", "we" or "our") and we own and operate the mobile application and web platform known as "Squaddy" ("Service"). You must be at least 13 years old to use the app and access the Service.

This "agreement" consists of two sections - (A) our Terms of Use, which apply to all users who download and use our app or access the Service by other permitted means, whether via a free or paid account; and (B) our Subscription Terms, which apply to users that subscribe for a paid account, unlocking additional functionality and licence rights, or access a free trial to such a subscription.

By downloading the app and/or accessing the Service, you are agreeing to the applicable terms of this agreement which are legally binding. Please read this agreement, together with our Privacy Policy (https://www.squaddy.app/privacy), before downloading the app, registering an account, and/or accessing the Service.

If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, you may not access or use the app or register an account for the Service.
