Terms of Use
Last updated 21 September 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and City Hunt for the use of the City Hunt app, its routes, hints and the coffee reward. Please read them; the short version is that you buy digital routes, the coffee is a gift for finishing, and you walk at your own pace and your own risk.
1. Who we are
City Hunt is made and operated as a sole proprietorship based in Istanbul, Türkiye ("we", "us"). You can reach us at hello.cityhunt@gmail.com.
2. What the app is
City Hunt is an iPhone app of hand-written walking routes. A route is a series of stops in one neighbourhood. Your phone's position turns each stop's card over when you reach it. The app needs an iPhone with location services to work as intended.
3. Routes and purchases
- Free routes can be walked at no cost.
- Premium routes, where the app offers them, are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase through Apple. You can read the first two stops of any premium route before deciding. The price is shown before you confirm, in your local currency, and includes any applicable VAT.
- Hints name the stop you are looking for and, where the stop has one, show its picture. Every free route comes with one free hint; further hints on free routes are bought as a one-time in-app purchase. Premium routes include unlimited hints. Bought hints can be used on any free route and do not expire.
- There are no subscriptions, no advertising and no recurring charges. Once a premium route is unlocked, nothing more is charged during that route.
- Purchases are processed by Apple under Apple's terms. Content is delivered immediately on purchase; by buying, you agree to immediate delivery and acknowledge that any statutory right of withdrawal for digital content ends once delivery has begun, to the extent the law allows. Refund requests are handled by Apple through your Apple ID's purchase history. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on a new device with "Restore purchases".
4. The coffee
- The coffee is a gift to people who finish a route. It is not sold, has no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or credit, and cannot be transferred. No purchase is needed to receive one, and buying hints does not change your chances.
- Where a route offers a coffee, it comes as a gift-card code for the coffee brand named in the app. Codes come from a weekly pool of fixed size and are handed out first come, first served to people who have turned every card of the route at its stop. A walk done in Demo mode earns no coffee. When the week's pool is spent, the route still works and the app says so before you start and at the finish.
- Codes are single-use and are redeemed with that brand under its own gift-card terms. Any expiry date is shown with the code. Fair use: one coffee per person, per route, per week.
- Which routes offer a coffee, the pool sizes and the values may change or be withdrawn at any time. Most routes offer none, and the app says so.
- Apple is not a sponsor of the coffee and is not involved in it in any way. Neither is the coffee brand: we buy its gift cards at retail, and its name and marks belong to it.
- We may refuse or cancel a coupon where we reasonably believe a completion was faked, for example by falsifying the phone's location.
5. Your conduct and safety
- You walk the routes on public streets, at your own risk and at your own pace. Watch the traffic, respect private property and local rules, and stop if conditions are unsafe. The clues and notes are for orientation and interest; they are not directions to be followed regardless of the situation.
- Do not tamper with the app, spoof your location, or use the app to harass others or to interfere with a café's business.
6. Content and ownership
- The routes, clues, notes, images and the app itself are our work or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright. You may use them for your own walk. You may not copy, publish, resell or reuse route content outside the app.
- Photos you take at stops are yours and stay on your phone. Sharing a collage is your choice, and what you share is your responsibility.
- Where a photograph in the app is credited to a third party, it is used under the licence named in the credit.
7. Availability and accuracy
Routes are written and walked by people, and cities change. A stop may be closed, moved or hidden by works, and a café may close or change hands. We do our best to keep routes current but cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate or that a route can be completed on a given day. The app may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance or for reasons outside our control.
8. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for injury, loss or damage arising from walking a route, other than where caused by our negligence or where liability cannot be excluded. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.
9. Your account and data
The app works without an account. The only identifier we use is the device ID: a random code the app creates the first time it is opened. We do not ask for, collect or use your name, email address, phone number, Apple ID, advertising identifier, or any other identifier. The device ID is used to deliver coffee coupons to the right phone and to record the kinds of walks you told us you enjoy. What the app stores on your phone and what it sends to us is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
10. Changes and termination
We may update these terms when the app changes; the date at the top tells you when. Continued use after an update is acceptance of the new terms. You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. We may suspend access for a serious breach of these terms, for example fraud around the coffee reward.
11. Apple
The app is distributed through Apple's App Store. These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app, gives no warranty for it, and is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, consumer protection or similar claims, or claims that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12. Law
These terms are governed by the law of Türkiye. If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom or elsewhere, the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence also apply and are not affected. Disputes can be brought before the courts of your place of residence where the law provides for it.
