Last updated: 11-08-2026 · Applies to the RaidPact app and raidpact.app
The short version
The pact
Joining a lobby is a promise. RaidPact exists because remote raids fail when people flake. When you join, the other five trainers are counting on you. Breaking that promise costs karma — that is the product working, not a bug.
Be who you say you are. Your nickname and friend code must be your own, exactly as they are in Pokémon GO.
You must be 18 or older. No exceptions.
Treat other trainers decently. Harassment, impersonation and cheating get you removed.
RaidPact is not the game. It never connects to Pokémon GO and is not affiliated with its makers. The raid itself happens in the game, under the game's own terms.
These terms are an agreement between you and the developer of RaidPact. By creating a profile or using the app, you accept them. If you do not agree with them, do not use RaidPact.
1. Who we are
RaidPact is run by an individual developer based in the Netherlands. For questions about these terms, email hello@raidpact.app.
2. What RaidPact is — and is not
RaidPact is a coordination layer between people who want to remote-raid together in Pokémon GO: find a group, commit to it, swap friend codes, and confirm together that the raid happened. Everything that involves the game itself — sending invites, joining the raid, catching the boss — happens inside Pokémon GO, on your own account, under Niantic's and Scopely's terms, not ours.
RaidPact never connects to Pokémon GO's servers, never automates any part of the game, and never asks for your game credentials. We cannot guarantee that a raid succeeds, that an invite arrives, or that the game behaves — we only coordinate the people.
3. Who can use RaidPact
You must be 18 years or older. We ask your date of birth once and store only whether you are an adult — see the Privacy Policy.
You may hold one account. Creating additional accounts to dodge penalties, farm karma, or evade a block is prohibited.
Your account is yours: do not sell it, share it, or transfer it.
4. Your profile
Hosts invite you by your in-game name, and your party adds you by your friend code. Both must therefore be genuinely yours and match your Pokémon GO account. Impersonating another trainer — using their name, code, or identity — is grounds for immediate removal.
5. The pact: commitments, karma and disputes
The heart of RaidPact is that joining a lobby is a commitment, and the app is honest about what that means:
Leaving a lobby, failing to show, or not sending invites as host can cost karma and reliability, exactly as described in the app at the moment it happens.
Raid outcomes are settled by the party itself: each trainer attests to what happened, and the result follows from those attestations. Attest honestly — false attestations are a violation of these terms.
When attestations disagree, the system resolves the dispute by quorum. Those outcomes, including any penalties, are applied automatically and are final, though you can always raise genuine errors via hello@raidpact.app.
Karma, reliability, priority tokens and ratings are bookkeeping inside RaidPact. They have no monetary value, cannot be traded, and may be recalculated or redesigned as the system evolves.
6. Content you contribute
Your nickname, ratings, reports and lobby signals are visible to, or affect, other trainers. For everything you contribute, the rules are:
No harassment, threats, hate speech, or sexual content.
No impersonation of any person, and no sharing of anyone's personal information.
No spam, advertising, or content that promotes cheating, botting, or account trading — in RaidPact or in Pokémon GO.
Nothing illegal under Dutch or your local law.
We may remove content that breaks these rules and restrict or terminate accounts that post it. You can report any trainer by tapping their profile, and block them — blocking keeps you out of each other's lobbies in both directions. Outside the app, reach us at abuse@raidpact.app. Reports of objectionable content or abusive trainers are reviewed promptly — normally within 24 hours — and content that breaks these rules is removed and the trainer responsible ejected.
7. Fair play
Do not:
automate the app, scrape it, or access it with anything other than the official client;
farm karma — for example by staging raids between accounts that exist to rate each other;
interfere with the service, other trainers' accounts, or the resolution of raids;
use RaidPact for anything other than coordinating Pokémon GO raids between real people.
8. Enforcement
Most enforcement is the system itself: karma, reliability and probation respond to what you do. For violations of these terms we may additionally warn you, restrict features, or suspend or terminate your account — permanently for serious cases such as harassment, impersonation, or systematic abuse. You can stop using RaidPact and delete your account at any time.
9. The service
RaidPact is currently free and in active development. Features may change, be added, or be removed, and we cannot promise the service is always available or free of errors. Raid boss information shown in the app comes from public community sources and may occasionally be outdated or wrong.
10. Liability
RaidPact is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damage, lost game content or progress, failed raids, or the behaviour of other trainers — in the app or in the game. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Dutch law, including liability for intent or gross negligence, and nothing in them reduces the mandatory consumer protections of the country you live in.
11. Privacy
What we store and why is described in the Privacy Policy. It is deliberately short — RaidPact stores coordination data, not your life.
12. If you installed RaidPact from an app store
RaidPact is distributed through Google Play and, in time, the Apple App Store. This section exists because those stores require it, and it applies to Apple Inc. ("Apple") and Google LLC ("Google") alike:
These terms are between you and the developer of RaidPact — not with Apple or Google. The developer, not the store, is solely responsible for RaidPact and its content.
Licence. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use RaidPact on devices that you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules in the store's own terms of service.
Maintenance and support. The developer is solely responsible for any maintenance and support of RaidPact. Neither Apple nor Google has any obligation to provide any.
Warranty. RaidPact is free. To whatever extent a warranty nevertheless applies and RaidPact fails to conform to it, you may notify the store, which may refund what you paid for the app (nothing); beyond that, the store has no warranty obligation whatsoever, and anything left is between you and the developer.
Claims. The developer, not the store, is responsible for addressing any claim relating to RaidPact — including product liability, legal or regulatory non-conformance, consumer protection, privacy, and claims that RaidPact infringes someone's intellectual property.
Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you.
Third-party terms. You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use RaidPact — your mobile data agreement, and Pokémon GO's own terms of service.
Contact. Questions, complaints and claims about RaidPact go to the developer: hello@raidpact.app, Netherlands.
13. Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, the app will ask you to accept the new version before you continue raiding. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by Dutch law. If you live in the EU, you also keep the protections of the mandatory consumer law of your own country, and disputes can be brought before the courts that your local law designates.
