This App enables users to actively search for digital boxes that contain either money and/or the in-game currency, “snoopo Coins”, and/or vouchers from different sponsors. Boxes are found by using an overall that shows boxes that are nearby. When the user approaches a box, the distance displayed will also become smaller until a specific radius is reached, which may lie between 50 meters and 5 kilometers. Once within this radius, the user must come within five meters of the box to activate the camera in which the box is then displayed and can be clicked open.
Users can also compare their performance with that of friends or with national and international rankings and progress to a higher level by opening the boxes. When a user reaches a higher level, he or she receives rewards (“snoopo Coins”, multipliers, hints) that can be used in the game.
The money found in the boxes is credited to the user’s player account and can be withdrawn by the user by providing his or her PayPal data. Withdrawal is possible only once the amount specified in the App is reached and must be made through PayPal. The money found is denominated in US dollars. Users are shown the equivalent amount in their respective national currencies at the prevailing daily exchange rate. When a withdrawal is made, disbursement is made in the national currency of the user at the prevailing daily exchange rate.
Users may use the “snoopo Coins” found in the boxes to purchase power-ups, which may take the form of multipliers for the content of a box or better hints on boxes, or make purchases in the in-game shop. “snoopo Coins” will not be redeemed in cash
The vouchers from the various sponsors found in the boxes will be subject to the general terms and conditions of the respective sponsors. Users must contact the respective sponsor directly to redeem a voucher. snoopo will not establish contact with sponsors or forward users’ data to sponsors.

By opening an account, the user consents to the use of their GPS by the App to determine the location of the user, display nearby boxes and monitor compliance with the Terms of Use (see section 3.4). The user further consents to the use of his or her mobile data volume for the purposes of ongoing updating.
