Strider · Last updated 29 September 2026
Who you are contracting with. Strider is a trading name of Tom Davies, a sole trader in the United Kingdom, contactable at Contact Strider. Where these terms say "we" or "us", that is who is meant.
Who takes your payment. Payments for Strider are handled by Paddle, who act as the seller of record. Paddle collects the payment, adds any tax your country requires, and issues your receipt. Their terms apply to the payment itself; these terms cover your use of Strider.
These terms cover your use of Strider, a scheduling application for individual content creators. By using Strider you agree to them.
1. What Strider does
Strider publishes videos and captions you provide to social media accounts you connect, at times you choose. It publishes only what you schedule, and only to accounts you have connected yourself.
2. Who it is for
Strider is for individual creators publishing to their own accounts. You must be 18 or over, and you must have the right to publish to any account you connect.
3. Your content, and what you may not publish
Your videos and captions remain entirely yours. We claim no ownership and no licence beyond what is needed to publish them where you asked.
You must not use Strider to publish:
- Content you do not have the right to publish
- Content that breaks the rules of the platform it is going to — each platform's own terms still apply to everything you post
- Spam, or repetitive automated posting intended to manipulate a platform's systems
- Content that is unlawful, harassing, or sexualises children
- Content published to an account you do not own or have permission to manage
4. Your account and access
You are responsible for keeping your Strider login secure, and for what is published from your account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to it.
You can disconnect any social account at any time, from within Strider or from the platform's own settings.
5. Checking your posts went out
Strider checks the destination account before every post and refuses to publish if it does not match the account you set up. Even so, automated publishing can fail — platforms change, connections expire, and services have outages. Please check that important posts published as you intended. Strider records every success and failure so you can see what happened.
6. Availability
We aim to keep Strider running reliably but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. Platforms occasionally change or withdraw the interfaces Strider depends on, sometimes without notice, and features may have to change as a result. Current status is on the status page.
7. Liability
Strider is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost income, opportunities or reputation, arising from use of the service.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
8. Ending it
You can stop using Strider at any time and ask for your account to be closed by emailing us. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where required by a platform or by law.
9. The platforms you publish to
Strider publishes on your behalf to platforms run by other companies, and their rules apply to what you post there in addition to these terms.
Which accounts can be connected. Each platform decides which of its accounts an app may post to, and Strider can only work within those rules:
- Facebook — Pages you manage. Meta does not allow apps to post to personal profiles.
- Instagram — Business or Creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page. Instagram does not allow apps to publish to personal accounts.
- TikTok — any account. A private TikTok account cannot publish posts visible to everyone.
- YouTube — any channel you own or manage.
- X — any account, on a paid plan.
If a platform changes which accounts it allows, Strider will change with it and tell you.
Strider uses YouTube API Services. By using Strider you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
Google's own handling of your data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
You can remove Strider's access to your Google account at any time, whether or not you continue to use Strider, at the Google security settings page.
10. Plans, paying and cancelling
What Strider costs, and what each plan includes, is set out on the pricing page. Subscriptions are monthly. There is no annual plan.
Basic is free and does not end. It needs no card and no subscription. Paid plans are charged monthly in advance until you cancel.
What a post means. Every plan includes a number of posts a month. One post is one video published to one platform, so a single video sent to four platforms uses four of your posts. A post that fails at the platform does not count against your allowance, and cancelling something you have scheduled returns the post to it.
Introductory prices. Where the pricing page offers a reduced price for a new member’s first months, it applies once per account. When that period ends, your plan continues at the full price shown on the pricing page. We tell you both prices before you subscribe.
Bonus posts are not part of your plan. We may add posts on top of your plan's allowance — for example in your first month. These are a gesture rather than an entitlement, they are shown separately from your plan allowance, and they may change or stop at any time. Your plan's own allowance will not be reduced without notice under section 11.
Scheduled posts need an active plan on the day they publish. Scheduling something further ahead than your plan covers, or beyond the end of a subscription you have cancelled, means it will not go out. Strider tells you this before you cancel.
You can cancel at any time from your account page, with one button. You do not need to contact us, and there is no waiting period and no fee for leaving. Cancelling stops the subscription renewing. You keep your paid plan until the end of the period you have paid for; anything you have scheduled inside that period still publishes. At the end of it, posts scheduled beyond that date are cancelled and your account moves to Basic rather than closing.
When we refund, and what happens to an unused X balance, is set out in full in the refund policy, which forms part of these terms.
X is available on paid plans only, which is why Basic never asks for card details. X charges for every post made to it. Each post is charged at X's own price, from an X balance topped up in amounts of £10 or more; £10 buys $11.00 of X credit, and that rate includes Strider's handling margin. No other platform charges per post. The amount is shown before you post and is returned if you cancel a scheduled post. If you move back to Basic, any X credit you hold stays on your account and becomes usable again if you return to a paid plan; if you would rather spend it down, ask us and we will keep X available on your account until the balance reaches zero. Unused credit is not refunded automatically; if you leave a paid plan and would like it refunded, ask us and we will refund it by hand, as the refund policy sets out.
X credit and currency conversion
Customer-facing prices, X top-ups, balance information and transaction amounts are shown in UK pounds and pence (GBP). X bills Strider in US dollars; Strider handles that conversion internally using a configured exchange rate, which may be reviewed periodically. You do not need to buy or manage US dollars.
The GBP top-up amount and any applicable tax are shown at checkout before you pay. The internal conversion for that purchase is fixed when its payment transaction is created. X posting costs are estimates, and converted balance and usage figures are rounded to the nearest penny for display; internal calculations retain greater precision. Usage history and available credit are displayed as GBP equivalents at the configured display rate and may change if that rate changes; they are not separate card payments. Paid top-up and payment-refund entries retain their original purchase conversion. The configured rate is not a promise of a live market or bank exchange rate. Strider's handling margin is included in that top-up rate and is not added again to each post.
11. Changes
These terms may change. Material changes will be notified by email, and the date at the top will be updated.
12. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.
