The legal contract between you and PinDrift. We've written it in plain English where we can.
Last updated: May 3, 2026 · Effective: May 3, 2026 · Version 1.0
These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (collectively, the "Terms") form a binding contract between you and PinDrift ("PinDrift", "we", "us", "our"). The Terms govern your access to and use of the PinDrift desktop application (the "Software"), the PinDrift website at pindrift.app, the PinDrift license server, and any related services (collectively, the "Service").
PinDrift is offered exclusively to users who are 18 years of age or older. Anyone under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited from downloading, installing, activating, accessing, purchasing, or using the Software, the Site, or any part of the Service, for any reason whatsoever. This restriction is absolute and has no minor-with-parental-consent exception. Misrepresenting your age to obtain access is a material breach of these Terms and immediately voids any License without refund.
BY INSTALLING, ACCESSING, ACTIVATING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, OR BY PURCHASING A LICENSE THROUGH THE SITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE EXCLUSIVE GEORGIA FORUM, JURY-TRIAL WAIVER, AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 11. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
Age requirement (strict). You must be at least 18 years of age at the time you accept these Terms and at all times you use the Service. If the age of legal majority in your U.S. state of residence is higher than 18, you must additionally have reached that age. There is no exception for minors with parental consent; PinDrift is not lawfully available to anyone under 18 under any circumstance. You further represent and warrant that you have full legal capacity to enter into this contract. If we determine, at any time and at our sole discretion, that a user is under 18, we will immediately and permanently revoke that user’s License and any associated access, without refund, and may delete or anonymize associated account data consistent with our retention obligations. You accept these Terms by clicking “I Agree” in the Software’s first-launch agreement screen, by purchasing a license, or by otherwise using the Service.
Geographic scope. The Service is offered to and intended for residents of the United States of America only. By accepting these Terms and purchasing a License, you represent and warrant that you are physically located in the United States and ordinarily reside in the United States. PinDrift does not market, sell, or knowingly provide the Service to residents of the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and we do not undertake compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the UK GDPR, the EU Digital Services Act, or analogous foreign regulatory regimes. If you are located in those territories, do not purchase, install, or use the Software. Purchases attempted from those territories may be blocked or refunded at our sole discretion. Sanctioned jurisdictions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea / Donetsk / Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and any other jurisdiction sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control or by U.S. export control law) are categorically excluded.
Monthly and Yearly are the recurring-billing tiers; Lifetime and PinDriftBox are one-time purchases. PinDrift does not offer any other consumer or enterprise licensing tier.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your active License, PinDrift grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on the number of devices permitted by your purchased SKU.
You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software (except as permitted by applicable law); distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, or transfer the Software or License Keys; modify or create derivative works; remove proprietary notices; or use the Software in violation of any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right.
The Monthly, Lifetime, and PinDriftBox SKUs listed in Section 2 are licensed for individual non-commercial use only. "Personal" or "non-commercial" use means the License Holder is a natural person using the Software for their own personal purposes (hobby projects, personal learning, personal location autonomy on their own accounts and devices).
Any of the following constitutes "Commercial Use" and requires a separately negotiated commercial-licensing arrangement with PinDrift, the terms of which are agreed in writing on a case-by-case basis:
Limited safe harbors are described in the Acceptable Use Policy § Commercial Use, including verified academic use and personal feature evaluation prior to a commercial-licensing inquiry.
Misrepresenting Commercial Use as personal use to obtain or retain a personal License is a material breach of these Terms and the End User License Agreement, and immediately voids the License without refund. PinDrift may detect Commercial Use through heartbeat patterns, hardware-fingerprint clustering across an organization, or third-party reporting; in such cases PinDrift will revoke the personal License and require a commercial-licensing arrangement as a condition of further use of the Software. The License Holder remains liable for any damages, fees, or backlicensing obligations arising from Commercial Use under a personal License.
To inquire about commercial licensing, use the contact page. Pricing and terms are not published and are negotiated case by case.
You are solely responsible for how you use the Software. The Software is a general-purpose location-simulation tool. The lawful and compliant use of that tool is your responsibility, not ours. You agree to use the Software only with iOS or Android devices and accounts that you own or are explicitly authorized to use.
Many third-party apps and online services prohibit GPS simulation. You acknowledge that using the Software with such services may result in suspension, termination, loss of in-app purchases or in-game progress, or other consequences. You assume all such risk.
See our full Acceptable Use Policy for prohibited uses.
PinDrift uses a try-before-you-buy model rather than a post-purchase refund window. Every fresh install of the Software receives a limited unrestricted-spoofing trial starting from the moment of the first successful spoof on that installation. The trial is long enough to verify the Software works on your hardware, with the apps you care about, in the locations you actually use - and importantly, setup time (installing the app, pairing the phone, accepting Developer Mode, configuring devices, building routes) does not consume the trial budget. The clock and the lockout are enforced locally by the Software; no server round-trip is required to start the trial. The trial length is set by the Software in its then-current configuration and may be changed by PinDrift at any time.
Every paid plan - Monthly, Yearly, Lifetime, and PinDriftBox - includes all future updates at no additional charge for as long as your License is active. There is no annual maintenance fee, no "premium" update tier, and no requirement to repurchase the Software when a new version ships. Lifetime and PinDriftBox holders keep receiving updates indefinitely; Monthly and Yearly holders receive updates for the duration of their active subscription.
We do not warrant that the Software will work with any specific version of iOS, any specific Apple device, or any specific third-party application.
To enforce per-device licensing and provide support, the Software transmits to our license server: a one-way SHA-256 hash derived from your hardware fingerprint, your operating-system family and version, your hostname, the Software version, your license token, heartbeat timestamps, and integer counters for total spoof sessions, total active-spoof time in seconds, and total tunnel-minutes. Your purchase record contributes your email, country, purchased SKU, and a merchant order reference. The complete inventory, retention schedule, and lawful bases are set out in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and controls in the event of any apparent inconsistency with this Section.
We do not retain your IP address beyond transient request logs (purged within 30 days), and we do not collect your iOS or Android device serial number, your Apple ID or Google account, your routes, your simulated locations, your real GPS, your contacts, or any content you create.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY HARDWARE, OPERATING SYSTEM, OR APPLICATION.
WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT RESULT IN SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF ANY THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING POKÉMON GO ACCOUNTS, GAMING ACCOUNTS, IN-APP CURRENCY, OR PURCHASED ITEMS. YOU ASSUME ALL SUCH RISK.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).
WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST IN-APP PURCHASES, LOSS OF GAME PROGRESS, OR ACCOUNT BANS.
Carve-outs. Nothing in this Section 9 limits or excludes our liability for: (a) gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; (b) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (c) any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including, where applicable, California Civil Code § 1668 and analogous state and foreign statutes); or (d) any statutory consumer right of yours that is non-waivable under the law of your country, state, or province of residence.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PinDrift and its officers, members, employees, and agents from third-party claims, suits, and demands (and reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred in defending against them) to the extent arising out of: (a) your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) your violation of applicable law; (c) your violation of any third-party right (including any third-party service's terms of use); or (d) your use of the Software with devices or accounts you do not own and are not authorized to use. This Section does not apply to claims to the extent they arise from PinDrift's own breach of these Terms, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, and does not require you to indemnify PinDrift for amounts that exceed the actual damages awarded against PinDrift on the indemnified claim. We will give you prompt written notice of any claim we believe is covered, allow you to control the defense and any settlement that does not impose non-monetary obligations on us, and reasonably cooperate at your expense.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT GIVES BOTH PARTIES A 60-DAY DIRECT-RESOLUTION OBLIGATION, REQUIRES PRE-SUIT MEDIATION, FIXES VENUE IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, WAIVES JURY TRIAL, AND WAIVES CLASS-ACTION RIGHTS.
Before initiating any legal action against the other, you and PinDrift each agree to provide written notice of the dispute and a reasonable opportunity (at least sixty (60) days) to resolve it informally. You provide notice to PinDrift via the contact form (select "Other") or by U.S. mail to the postal address in Section 15. PinDrift will provide notice to you at the email address associated with your License. We commit to good-faith engagement on any claim brought in good faith, and the 60-day clock does not start until both parties have actually communicated about the substance of the dispute.
If direct resolution does not produce a settlement within the 60-day period, you and PinDrift agree to attempt non-binding mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under the AAA Consumer Mediation Procedures (or, by mutual agreement, JAMS or any other reputable neutral provider). The mediator's fee is shared equally up to a combined cap of $1,500; PinDrift will pay any excess. The mediation will occur by telephone or video conference unless both parties agree to an in-person session in Atlanta, Georgia. Mediation is not required (i) for claims that fit within the small-claims carve-out in Section 11.5, (ii) where statutory deadlines would expire during the 60 + mediation period (in which case suit may be filed protectively, with the mediation obligation continuing), or (iii) where injunctive or other equitable relief is needed to prevent imminent and irreparable harm.
If mediation does not produce a settlement, the parties agree that any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia. You and PinDrift each consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection based on forum non conveniens. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and PinDrift each irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software.
You and PinDrift each agree that all claims must be brought in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class action, collective action, mass action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. The court has no authority to consolidate more than one person's claims, to preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or to award class-wide relief. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds that this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) is severed and may proceed on a class basis in court; the remainder of this Section 11 continues to apply.
Either party may bring an individual (non-class) action in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction for any dispute that fits within that court's monetary and subject-matter jurisdiction. Sections 11.1 through 11.3 do not apply to such an action.
Nothing in this Section is intended to waive your right to seek public injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (cf. McGill v. Citibank, N.A., 2 Cal. 5th 945 (2017)). To the extent any portion of this Section is held to waive that right, that portion is severed and the remainder continues to apply.
This Section 11 survives any termination of these Terms or your License.
Why this structure (and not arbitration)? A 60-day direct-resolution obligation plus mediation handles the overwhelming majority of consumer software disputes (refund timing, license activation, billing) cheaply and without lawyers on either side. The Fulton County forum-selection and jury-trial waiver hold down the cost and unpredictability of any dispute that does proceed to court. The class-action waiver protects against aggregated litigation. We deliberately do not use mandatory arbitration: in our size and category, the modern "mass arbitration" tactic creates more cost exposure than class-action exposure, and we'd rather give you a real day in a real court than route everyone through AAA.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, mandatory and non-waivable consumer-protection laws of your U.S. state of residence remain in force where applicable, including (without limitation) the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Civ. Code §§ 1750 et seq.), the California Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq.), the California False Advertising Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17500 et seq.), the New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350, the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (Ch. 93A), and analogous statutes in other U.S. states. Because the Service is not offered to residents outside the United States (see Section 1), no foreign consumer-protection regime applies.
We may suspend or terminate your License immediately if you violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, initiate a chargeback without first contacting support, or use the Software unlawfully. Termination on these grounds does not entitle you to a refund.
In addition to the for-cause grounds in Section 13.1, PinDrift and its parent entity reserve the right to terminate or refuse service on any individual License at our sole discretion, at any time, for any lawful reason, including reasons not expressly listed in these Terms. When we exercise this right and the termination is not based on your breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, we will refund the unused portion of your purchase price within thirty (30) days. For Lifetime and PinDriftBox the refund is the full purchase price net of any nonrefundable add-ons; the user-initiated refund window in Section 5 is unaffected. This Section does not waive the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing read into these Terms by applicable law: we will not exercise the right under this Section in bad faith, in retaliation for the user's lawful exercise of any right under these Terms (including the right to seek public injunctive relief preserved in Section 11), or on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, disability, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. A user who believes a termination under this Section was wrongful may invoke the dispute-resolution procedure in Section 11; this Section 13.2 does not abridge those rights.
PinDrift may discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time. If a discontinuation under this Section renders your License unusable, we will refund the unused portion of your purchase price as described in Section 13.2 within thirty (30) days, regardless of whether you are within the user-initiated refund window in Section 5.
Upon termination, you must uninstall the Software and stop using the Service. The following Sections survive termination: 3 (license restrictions), 5 (refund obligations already accrued), 7 (activation data), 8 (warranty disclaimer), 9 (liability cap), 10 (indemnification), 11 (disputes), 12 (governing law), 13.2 (good-faith and non-discrimination obligations as to the terminated License), 13.5 (the carve-outs and dispute-resolution rights available to a user terminated as a Competitor), and 15 (contact and notices).
PinDrift may terminate or refuse service to any user whom we determine, based on publicly available information or information the user provides, to be a Competitor or an employee, officer, director, controlling shareholder, contractor, or agent of a Competitor. For purposes of this Section:
Termination under this Section 13.5 is treated as a discretionary termination under Section 13.2 and is subject to the same thirty-day refund obligation, the same implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and the same non-discrimination carve-outs. PinDrift will not invoke this Section against: (a) a user whose only connection to a Competitor is general employment in the technology industry, (b) a user employed by a company whose products do not actually or reasonably-anticipatedly compete with any Lunis Group product or service, (c) a user with a clearly disclosed academic, journalistic, regulatory, or good-faith research interest, or (d) any class of users in a manner that would constitute unlawful discrimination. A user who believes a termination under this Section was in error may invoke the dispute-resolution procedure in Section 11; this Section 13.5 does not abridge those rights.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will give notice of material changes in the Software at next launch and via the email address associated with your License at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Software after the effective date of the change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, your sole remedy is to stop using the Software; if you are within the refund window in Section 5 at the time the updated Terms take effect, you may request a refund under Section 5 on the basis of the change. We will not retroactively apply material changes to disputes that arose before the effective date.
For anything related to these Terms - support, refunds, legal notices, privacy or regulatory requests - reach us through the contact page. PinDrift will reply to you at the email address associated with your License or the address you provide.
