Strava requires users to be at least 13 years old (or older depending on local law), and parents or legal guardians are fully responsible for any breaches of the Terms by underage users they permit to use the platform.
This analysis describes what Strava's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
If you allow your child to use Strava, you are legally responsible for everything they do on the platform, including any rule violations — and Strava can refuse service to any underage user at its discretion.
Strava's Terms grant the company a broad, royalty-free license to use content you upload, require most non-EU users to resolve disputes through binding arbitration (waiving your right to sue in court or join a class action), and enforce automatic subscription renewal unless canceled at least 24 hours before the billing period ends. The no-refund policy means payments are generally non-recoverable once charged. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Strava within 30 days of first accepting the Terms.

The age restriction and parental liability provisions engage COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) for users under 13 in the US and equivalent GDPR Article 8 protections for EU/EEA minors. Compliance teams should assess whether Strava's age verification mechanisms are sufficient to satisfy these regulatory obligations.
