Safety comes before
the screen.

Safety and use in outdoor environments

Watch the terrain, not the screen. Mountains, forests, remote trails and off-road motorcycle routes can involve serious risks. A screen cannot assess the ground in front of you.

1. Keep your attention on your surroundings, terrain and route, not the screen.
2. Stop in a safe place before interacting with TrailGroup Adventure. Do not operate the app while riding or moving through hazardous terrain.
3. GPS positions, recorded tracks and maps may be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete or unavailable. An old position does not establish where a rider is now.
4. Displayed trails may be offset from the actual terrain, including near cliffs, steep drops, water and other hazards. Never treat a line or direction indicator as proof that a crossing or path is safe.
5. The leader’s recorded GPS track is a record of reported positions, not a verified or guaranteed safe route. Planned GPX routes and recorded trails are different; neither establishes that a route is safe, lawful or passable.
6. You remain responsible for your own safety, decisions and compliance with applicable laws. Assess conditions independently and turn back or stop when necessary.
7. TrailGroup Adventure is not an emergency or rescue service. Do not rely on it as your only means of navigation or communication.
8. Alerts and location sharing are not guaranteed to be delivered, received or acted on. Transmission does not mean that the leader has acknowledged an alert; acknowledgement must be separately confirmed.

Check timestamps and accuracy information. If position, accuracy or trail information is uncertain or missing, do not guess a safe connection between points. A direction indicator only describes an estimated direction; it does not establish a safe route across the terrain.

Limitations and responsibility

GPS reception, map coverage, mobile connectivity, battery, device settings and operating system restrictions can affect information and delivery. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, navigation accuracy, a safe route, reliable rescue or guaranteed delivery of alerts or locations.

You must assess the terrain, weather, access restrictions and your own capabilities independently. Use appropriate equipment and independent navigation and communication methods. Follow applicable traffic, access and other laws. Stop safely before using the app.

Any exclusion or limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Nothing removes or restricts mandatory consumer rights, statutory remedies or protections against unfair contract terms.

Where applicable law requires responsibility for a defect, breach or harm, that responsibility remains. These warnings do not establish that the operator has no liability, and they do not require you to waive all legal rights.

Safety acknowledgement and updates

Before first use of live group tracking or trail following, the app must display the safety notice prominently and require an active acknowledgement. No checkbox may be preselected. The acknowledged notice version is recorded locally; a materially updated notice requires acknowledgement again before those features are used.

The acknowledgement text is: “I have read and understood this safety notice. I will watch my surroundings and stop safely before interacting with the app.” Acknowledging this safety notice does not waive your legal rights or consent to location sharing.

Safety information and this page must remain accessible from the app after onboarding. Joining a group, acknowledging this notice and agreeing to share location are separate decisions.
