Terms of Use
Last updated: 10 November 2026
These terms apply when you use the Stepwood app for iPhone ("Stepwood"). By using Stepwood you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
The licence
Stepwood is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. The points below add to it.
Using Stepwood
- Stepwood is for personal, non-commercial use.
- Please do not try to break, copy or reverse-engineer the app, or use it to harm others.
- The artwork, characters, name and code belong to Stepwood. Share cards you save from the app are yours to share.
Not medical advice
Stepwood is a game about walking. It is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Step counts come from Apple Health and may not be exact. Talk to a doctor before changing how much you exercise, and stop if you feel unwell.
Stepwood Plus
Stepwood Plus is an optional subscription, sold through Apple as a yearly or monthly plan.
- Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Free trial. The yearly plan may start with a free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the plan starts and you are charged.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Plus stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, so refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Prices. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may differ between countries. We may change prices for future periods; Apple will tell you beforehand.
Real trees
While you are a paying Stepwood Plus member, Stepwood has a real tree planted through the tree-planting service Ecologi for each forest you finish, up to 3 trees in any 12 months. Trees are a feature of the subscription, paid for by Stepwood.
- A tree is planted once your subscription has been paid for. Forests finished during a free trial count once the trial becomes a paid plan.
- Planting is done in batches, so there can be a delay of some weeks between finishing a forest and the tree being planted.
- The planting projects are chosen and run by Ecologi and its partners. Stepwood does not own the trees or the land, and cannot promise that any single tree survives.
Videos for free players
Free players may be offered a short video from an advertising partner when they water their forest. The partner, not Stepwood, is responsible for what its ads say.
Changes and availability
We work to keep Stepwood running well, but it is provided "as is". Features may change, and we may stop offering the app or parts of it. Your forest is saved on your phone, so please keep in mind that deleting the app or changing phones may remove it.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Stepwood is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the app, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Stepwood Plus in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, we will update the date above and say so in the app. Continuing to use Stepwood after that means you accept the new terms.
