Strava Terms of Service

Strava's Terms set the rules for using the platform, including that Strava can use your posts, photos, and activity data—even in ads—without paying you, and that your profile is public by default when you sign up as an adult. If you have a paid subscription, it renews automatically and Strava generally won't issue refunds. If you have a dispute with Strava, you must bring it individually through JAMS arbitration within one year, and Strava's maximum financial responsibility to you is capped at $50 or what you paid in the last 12 months.

Strava's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users access Strava's platform and grant Strava a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and display user Content—including use of profile names, photos, and activity data in advertising and commercial contexts—without compensation to users. The document imposes a one-year limitations period on all claims, caps Strava's aggregate liability at the greater of $50 or fees paid in the prior 12 months, and disclaims all warranties on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. Dispute resolution is governed by binding JAMS arbitration on an individual basis only, with class and representative actions prohibited, applicable to all users except those in the EU or jurisdictions where arbitration is prohibited. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, and Strava provides no refunds or credits except as expressly enumerated in the Terms. User Content is set to public by default at sign-up for users aged 18 and older, and access to the Services is restricted to users who are at least 13 years old, or older as required by the user's jurisdiction.

As a Strava user, your Content—including your profile name, photo, and activity data—is licensed to Strava for broad commercial use, including in advertisements, from the moment you sign up, and your profile is public by default if you are 18 or older. Your ability to recover financially from Strava for any harm is capped at the greater of $50 or 12 months of fees paid, and you must bring any claim within one year of it arising. You can take one concrete step to limit public exposure: adjust your privacy settings after sign-up to change the default public visibility of your Content.
