The deal, in plain language.

Who we are

Good Either Way is run by Skiwo AS (org 916636660), a company registered in Norway. We operate goodeitherway.com. When you sign up, these terms are between you and us. You must be at least 18 to use Good Either Way — we simply don't serve minors.

How the stake works

You choose one to three sessions a week. A week runs Monday to Sunday in your own timezone, and it's all-or-nothing: do every session you committed to and the week is free; come up short — by one session or all of them — and the week costs one stake, once. Every country has a fixed, round weekly stake in its local currency — 100 kr in Norway, $10 AUD in Australia, €10 in the eurozone — and the app always shows yours before you commit; never more than one stake a week on the line, and each week settles on its own — one stake at most. Your first partial week is free: counting starts on the first full Monday after you commit, and changes apply from next Monday whenever you adjust your sessions. Your stake is fixed by the country on your account when the week starts. Stakes are dormant in any country until a charity partner covering it is live — nobody's charged a cent before that.

Weeks close, weeks settle

Every Monday morning we settle last week and open a new one, by email. Nothing touches your card while you're on track: only if you're still short on Thursday morning do we place a hold for the week's stake — finish your sessions and it's released the moment the last one is logged. A week that ends short is collected Monday morning, and the money lands in your charity's own account the same day.

Changed your mind?

Pause any time — it releases any hold immediately, no charge, no donation, no hard feelings. A week you finish is never charged at all. Once Monday's collection lands, your money is already on its way to your charity — no refunds after collection.

Where your money goes

Our general practice: your whole missed stake is a donation to the charity you picked — wherever you are, it charges directly on the charity's own Stripe account; we never hold it. The charity pays us a platform fee of 20% — 20 kr of every 100 kr, $2 of every $10 — netted automatically by Stripe, and Stripe's processing costs and any currency conversion settle on each side's own share; what lands after them depends on Stripe's rates, which are public. If a creator introduced you, we pay them a quarter of our fee — 5% of the total, 5 kr of every 100 kr — from our side, never the charity's. If taxes or third-party fees shift in ways that threaten our sustainability, the fee may be adjusted — and whatever it is, it will always be disclosed right here, never buried.

The expected math on a 100 kr forfeit

What we expect a collected 100 kr to look like, in real numbers: the whole 100 kr is donated to your charity, on their own Stripe account. Our 20 kr platform fee (20%) is netted automatically by Stripe, and Stripe's card fee (roughly 3–5 kr depending on the card) settles on the charity's side — so they land around 75–77 kr, and the money never touches our account. Our 20 kr is gross — it includes 4 kr Norwegian MVA we pass to the state, our own taxes and costs come out of it, and if a creator introduced you, their 5% of the 100 kr — 5 kr — also comes from our side, never the charity's. Outside Norway the same shape in dollars: the whole $10 donated on the charity's own account, less Stripe's processing fee (roughly 45–60 cents) on their side; our $2 fee is the same flat 20% with no VAT added on top. This is what we expect to happen; if it turns out we can't afford to run the product on these numbers, we'll adjust them — and say so here first. For scale: we guess our breakeven (excluding human hours) at about 5 000 kr a month, though it really depends on what our servers end up costing — so we need roughly 300 people a month to, for lack of a better phrase, skip the gym to keep the lights on. Which would also mean about 24 000 kr raised for charities that month.

No tax-deductibility promises

We don't promise your donation is tax-deductible, ever. Your money moves directly into the charity's own account — any receipts are theirs to issue, not ours.

Cancelling

One tap: “I give up — let me off the hook.” No exit survey, no guilt trip, no maze. You're out, instantly, and nothing more is ever charged.

Injured? Pause.

One tap freezes every stake and nudge, instantly. We never push you through pain.

Partners, and our discretion

Creators earn 5% of collected stakes (a quarter of our 20%), invoice us from $100 — smaller balances roll forward — and keep their spot by staying visibly on board: a creator who posts nothing about Good Either Way for 12 months may lose their position, and it doesn't come back. And one honest, unglamorous clause across the board: we may remove any account — member, creator, donor, or charity — at our discretion. This is, at the end of it, a business; that control is what lets us feel safe building it. Money already owed still flows per these terms.

Changes to these terms

If we ever change these terms in a way that matters to you, we'll tell you before it applies. Never silently.
