You must be at least 13 years old to use Walkbucks. Walkbucks is not directed to children under 13, and such users are prohibited from registering.

THE TERMS MAY CHANGE, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO REVIEW THEM REGULARLY.

3. YOUR USER ACCOUNT

Creating an Account.

To use the walkbucks application, you must create a user account (referred to as a "walkbucks Account") by logging in through your Facebook, Apple, or Google accounts. All information you provide must be accurate, complete, and kept up to date. walkbucks Accounts are non-transferable and cannot be shared with others.

Account Confidentiality and Access.

You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your Account or password, including any unauthorized use by others. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your Account credentials and to restrict access to your Account. To ensure security, do not share your password and avoid reusing it for other services. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account or password, you must notify us immediately.

Account Security.

Your walkbucks Account tracks all WalkCoins generated by you and records any transactions involving WalkCoins. Regularly review your Account for accuracy. If you notice any unauthorized transactions, unexpected activity, or believe your Account security has been compromised, contact our customer service team promptly.

4. WALKCOINS

"WalkCoins" are digital units that users of the walkbucks application can earn by participating in verified physical activities, such as walking. WalkCoins have no cash value, are not legal tender, and cannot be exchanged for real-world currency. WalkCoins are loyalty points limited to use within Walkbucks for redeeming designated rewards. Walkbucks reserves the right to change, suspend, or terminate the WalkCoins program and any related rewards at any time.

We reserve the right to invalidate any WalkCoins suspected of being obtained through unauthorized means and to suspend or disable accounts that violate these Terms & Conditions.

WalkCoins Generation and Rules

We retain full discretion to determine and modify the types of physical activities eligible for WalkCoins, the verification algorithms, and the amount of movement required to earn WalkCoins. For example, we may adjust the step-to-WalkCoin conversion rate or the verification process at any time. All movement verification conducted by our algorithms is final and cannot be appealed or reversed.

There is a daily cap on the number of WalkCoins a user can earn, and we may change this limit or the conversion rate periodically. WalkCoins are generated based on the number of steps taken, and users must claim their earned WalkCoins before 00:00 local time the following day; otherwise, they will expire. Additionally, WalkCoins collected by users will expire one year after they are earned, at the end of the calendar month.

5. FREE WALKCOINS

The Free WalkCoins feature enables users to earn extra WalkCoins beyond the daily step-based cap. This feature offers additional opportunities to accumulate WalkCoins through various activities.

The content provided through Free WalkCoins is sourced from third-party companies and is not affiliated with walkbucks.Separate Privacy Policies and Terms & Conditions from third-party providers will be displayed within their pages.By using the Free WalkCoins feature, you acknowledge and agree to these terms. Participation in such offers is entirely optional. These offers are advertisements provided by third parties, and Walkbucks does not control or endorse the content. Walkbucks disclaims all responsibility for third-party products or services.

6. REFERRAL PROGRAM

The walkbucks Referral Program allows users to earn additional WalkCoins beyond their daily walking rewards. This program benefits both existing users ("Senders") who invite others and new users ("Receivers") who join through a referral.

When a Sender shares an invitation and the Receiver successfully logs into walkbucks using the referral code, the Sender receives a referral bonus.

The Receiver also earns a registration bonus after completing the referral process.

Please note that referral bonuses are subject to change at any time without prior notice. This referral bonus mechanism also applies to participants in our influencer program.
