Agreement to Terms

By using Trek4Free (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Content & Risk

Information is provided for general guidance. Outdoor activities involve real risk. You’re solely responsible for your decisions and safety in the field.

User Contributions & Community

  • You own your submissions and grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, adapt, and distribute them in connection with the Service.
  • Only share content you have the rights to share; no infringing or unlawful material.
  • We may moderate, edit, or remove content for clarity, safety, or quality.
  • Be kind: no harassment, hate, spam, or exploitation. Report issues via email below.

Acceptable Use

  • No attempts to disrupt, scrape at scale, bulk download, or bypass rate limits unless clearly permitted by our robots.txt or written permission.
  • No posting of sensitive personal data of others without consent.

Intellectual Property

The Trek4Free name, logo, characters (e.g., Topo), and design elements are our property. Third-party marks belong to their owners. Don’t use our marks without permission.

Links & Third Parties

We may link to third-party sites (parks, weather, maps). We’re not responsible for their content, policies, or availability.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits arising from your use of the Service.

DMCA / Takedown

If you believe content infringes your rights, contact us with details (links, ownership statements). We’ll review and respond promptly.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue lies in state or federal courts in Texas.

We may update these Terms; continuing to use the Service after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
