DEGEN ⚡ — Terms of Service & End User License Agreement (EULA)

Last updated: 2026-07-04

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and George Leonard Batca (private individual, the Netherlands) ("we," "us," "DEGEN") governing your use of the DEGEN mobile application and related services (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. The App is a parody

DEGEN is a work of satire and entertainment — "Strava for your nights out." It lets adults humorously log and map where a night out took them (the bars, clubs, and venues visited, as a route) for fictional "Degen Points." It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Strava or any other company. Nothing in the App is real coaching, and Degen Points have no real-world value.

2. Eligibility — 18+

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the App. By using it, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. The App is rated 17+ on the App Store and is intended only for adults.

3. Not professional advice

The App does not provide medical, health, psychological, financial, or legal advice, and must not be relied on as such. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent anything, and it does not encourage or recommend the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, or any other substance. The App records the places you went, not what you consumed — logging a night is a joke entry you make about your own social life, and the App takes no position on whether you should do anything. Always look after yourself and your friends and follow all applicable laws.

Venue offers are third-party ads. Any offers, prices, happy-hours, events, or announcements shown in the App's "Near Me" / "What's On" features are third-party advertisements posted by those venues — they are not recommendations or inducements by DEGEN to consume alcohol or anything else. DEGEN does not set, verify, or guarantee any price or offer; an offer may be inaccurate, may have changed, or may be unavailable. Always check directly with the venue.

4. No real money

Degen Points are fictional, have no real-world value, and are non-transferable. The App contains no real-money features, no wagering, and no prizes — there is nothing to win or lose of value.

5. License grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, redistribute, sell, or create derivative works from the App except as permitted by law.

6. Price and payments

The App is currently free, with no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no paid features. If paid features are ever introduced, they will be offered exclusively through Apple In-App Purchase under updated Terms (with notice per Section 14), and will never remove or paywall any safety, reporting, blocking, account, or data-deletion feature.

7. Acceptable use and zero tolerance for objectionable content

DEGEN is a social app with user-generated content. You agree not to create, post, upload, or share any content — including handles, profile text, night titles, venue/route entries, comments, "I'm out tonight" cities, or photos — and not to behave, in any way that:

• breaks any law, or is fraudulent, deceptive, or impersonates another person;
• is objectionable, meaning content that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, bullying, hateful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit, that depicts or encourages violence or self-harm or harm to others, or that targets others based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability;
• infringes anyone's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights, or shares another person's private information without consent;
• harasses, threatens, stalks, or abuses any other user; or
• attempts to disrupt, reverse-engineer, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the App, its backend, or other users' accounts.

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. There is no tolerance for objectionable, abusive, or harassing behavior.

8. User content — your license to us, and our enforcement rights

Your content. "User Content" means anything you create or upload through the App: your @handle, alias, emoji, bio, night posts (titles, venues/routes, city, crew size), photos you attach, comments, "respects," your "I'm out tonight" presence, and — if you operate a venue account — the offers and announcements you post for a venue (Section 8A). You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights to share it and that it does not violate these Terms. The moderation and enforcement rights below (report, hide, remove, suspend/ban within 24 hours) apply to venue offers and venue accounts in the same way as to any other User Content.

Visibility. When you are signed in, a new night defaults to Public (discoverable by anyone on DEGEN). The App shows each night's visibility — Public, Friends, or 🔒 Just me — above the button before you post, and you choose it per night. You can change a night's visibility or delete it at any time. Nights kept "Just me" are private to you and are not shown to others.

License you grant us. You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely to operate, provide, and improve the App — for example, showing your posts and photos to the people you've allowed to see them (your followers, or everyone, depending on the Public / Friends / Just-me visibility you choose for each night), powering the Discover feed, and delivering notifications. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already re-shared or that we must retain to comply with law or enforce these Terms, and for reasonable backup copies.

Moderation and enforcement. To keep the community safe and to comply with App Store Guideline 1.2, you agree that:

• We may review, filter, hide, refuse, or remove any User Content, at any time and at our discretion, with or without notice — in particular content reported as objectionable or that violates Section 7.
• You can report objectionable content and block abusive users from within the App. We will act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours, which may include removing the content and ejecting (suspending or permanently banning) the user who provided it.
• We may suspend or terminate the account of any user who posts objectionable content or engages in abusive behavior, and may report unlawful content to the relevant authorities.

We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may do so. Removing content or banning a user does not make us liable for User Content posted by others. See the Privacy Policy for what data the social features store and how to request export or deletion.

8A. Venue accounts and business content (offers & announcements)

This Section applies if you use a venue account to claim a pub, bar, or club and post offers or announcements. It is the in-app short form of our Venue Posting Agreement (a separate document); by claiming a venue or posting venue content you agree to both.

• Authorisation. You represent and warrant that you are authorised to act for the venue you claim and to post on its behalf. Venue accounts are for genuine businesses; personal accounts may not impersonate a venue.
• Claim-then-verify. You may submit a claim on a venue, but your venue's offers and announcements go live only after we review and approve the claim. We may decline or revoke a claim at our discretion.
• Accuracy & lawfulness. You warrant that every offer or announcement is accurate, current, and lawful where it is shown — including compliance with all local alcohol-advertising and price-promotion rules. You are responsible for your content; DEGEN does not verify it.
• No excessive-consumption promotions. You may not post content that promotes excessive or unlimited consumption (for example "all you can drink," "bottomless," "free bar," "open bar," volume-escalating deals). Time-bound or standard pricing (e.g. "house pints £4 until 8pm") is permitted where lawful. We may filter or reject content that breaches this.
• Informational only. Venue offers are advertising only. There is no in-app purchase, booking, reservation, or payment for venue offers — any transaction happens directly between you and the customer at the venue. DEGEN is not a party to it and takes no commission on it through this feature.
• Our rights. Consistent with Section 8, we may review, hide, refuse, remove, or expire any venue offer or announcement, and suspend or eject a venue account, at any time and at our discretion — including content reported by users. Reported venue content is handled within 24 hours.
• Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold DEGEN harmless from any claim, loss, or expense arising from your venue content, your warranties above, or your breach of this Section or applicable law (this is in addition to Section 12).

9. Assumption of risk

You use the App, and make your own life choices, entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume all responsibility for any decisions or behaviors in your own life, whether or not you logged them in the App. The App is a record-keeping joke, not a cause of your behavior.

10. Disclaimers; no warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, HEALTH, OR PROPERTY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $10. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., 9–12) survive termination.

14. Changes to the App or Terms

We may update the App or these Terms. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Maastricht, the Netherlands, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

16. Apple-specific terms (required for App Store)

You acknowledge and agree that:

• These Terms are concluded between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Your license to use the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products you own or control, per the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the App; any failure to conform to a warranty is our responsibility.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory non-conformance, or consumer-protection claims.
• If a third party claims the App infringes their intellectual property, we (not Apple) are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.
