Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and Landroamer LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Landroamer”, “we”). By creating an account or using the app, you accept them. If you don't agree, don't use Landroamer.

1. Your account

You need an account to use Landroamer. You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under 18, a parent or legal guardian must review these terms and accept them on your behalf — including the release of liability in section 3 — and by allowing you to use Landroamer they agree to do so. You're responsible for keeping your login secure and for everything that happens under your account. Give us accurate information and keep it current.

2. What Landroamer is

Landroamer provides trail information, trip planning, navigation guidance, and social features for offroad and overlanding travel. Trail data comes from our own field experience, public sources, and content contributed by other users.

2a. Trail information is not a guarantee

Trail accuracy is not guaranteed. Routes, distances, travel times, fuel estimates, difficulty ratings, seasons, closures, land ownership, forest-road designations, named spots, photos, and every other piece of information in the app can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date, and you should treat all of it that way.

Trail conditions change constantly and without warning. Weather, seasonal closures, washouts, rockfall, fire, snow, private-property changes, and agency decisions can all make a trail impassable or illegal to drive between the time information is recorded and the time you arrive.

Difficulty ratings are subjective. A rating reflects one person's assessment with one vehicle on one day. Reports of what other vehicles have run a trail describe what those drivers experienced — they are not a prediction about your vehicle, your skill, or the conditions you'll find.

Every Landroamer trail is mapped by hand — from the first-hand experience of local drivers who have completed the trail, or from publicly available sources such as Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM), satellite imagery, and Forest Service and National Park road maps. A mapped route can differ from what you find on the ground: trails get rerouted, gated, washed out, and reshaped over time. Always follow posted signage and the rules of the county and managing land agency — what's on the ground overrides what's in the app.

Difficulty ratings start as a seed. Every trail is given an initial 1–10 rating when it's mapped, and that seed may differ from commonly known or previously published ratings for the same trail. As the community runs a trail and submits their own ratings, the displayed difficulty becomes the average of those reports — a more current reading, but still an opinion, not a measurement. The number can move as conditions change, and the trail on the day can differ from any number.

Trail names are not standardized. Some trails appear under their commonly known names; others go by different local conventions. Use the mapped route — not the name alone — to confirm you're navigating to your intended destination.

Forest roads, MVUM seasons, BLM routes, and land-status layers come from government datasets. A designation means an agency once mapped a road as open to a class of vehicle; it says nothing about whether that road is passable, safe, or still open today. Public data contains errors, and so can our depiction of it.

Content from other members — ratings, run logs, condition reports, named spots, photos, videos, comments, and messages — is their opinion and experience, not ours. Landroamer does not verify it.

If you believe a trail route is inaccurate, submit a concern using the report form at the bottom of any trail page in the app. Community reports are how this data stays current.

Always verify conditions and closures with the managing land agency before you go, and confirm you have the legal right to be on any route you drive.

3. Safety, risk, and your responsibility

This section is the most important one in these terms.

Offroad driving and overlanding are inherently dangerous activities that can result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Risks include vehicle rollover and mechanical failure, becoming stranded in remote terrain without communication, exposure, water crossings, falling objects, wildlife, other vehicles, and the loss of any ability to summon help.

By using Landroamer, you agree that you assume all risk associated with your travel — on and off pavement, on or off a mapped route, whether or not you were following the app's guidance at the time — including risks that are known and unknown, and risks that come from errors in the app. Specifically, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You and you alone are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of your passengers, your vehicle, your equipment, and anyone travelling with you. Make sure the people in your vehicle understand these risks too.
• Use your own judgment. You are responsible for deciding whether a trail, an obstacle, a water crossing, or a day is within your ability and your vehicle's capability. Never rely on the app, a rating, or another member's report to make that judgment for you — and turn around when it's wrong.
• You are responsible for safe and lawful driving at all times, including on public roads, and for following all federal, state, county, local, and tribal laws and regulations that apply where you are — traffic laws, speed limits, travel-management and land-use rules, seasonal and fire closures, OHV registration, permits, education certificates, street-legal and equipment requirements, and private-property boundaries. Stay on designated routes. Any fine, citation, impound, or trespass claim is yours.
• Never operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, or fatigue.
• Do not interact with the app while the vehicle is moving. Stop, or let a passenger operate it. A CarPlay display is a reference, not a reason to look away from the trail.
• You are responsible for being prepared. Always carry proper recovery gear, tools and spares, a first-aid kit, food, water, fuel, and the clothing and shelter to survive a night out in the weather you could meet — plus a navigation backup and emergency SOS equipment, such as a satellite communicator or personal locator beacon, that you know how to use before you need it. Tell someone where you're going and when you'll be back.
• Navigation and location features may fail. GPS can be inaccurate or unavailable, cell service is often absent, batteries die, and software has bugs. Directions and routes — including any hand-off to Apple Maps, Google Maps, or another app — are suggestions that can lead to a closed, private, impassable, or illegal road. Look before you commit. Carry paper maps or another independent means of navigation, and never depend on Landroamer as your only way to find your way out.
• Landroamer is not an emergency service. Nobody at Landroamer monitors your location, trips, recordings, messages, or crew chat, and the app will not notice if you are overdue, stuck, or hurt. In an emergency, contact 911 or your local emergency services, or trigger the SOS on your satellite device. Location sharing is not a personal locator beacon: it does not contact anyone on your behalf, and it will not work without a data connection.
• Search, rescue, recovery, towing, and medical costs are yours.
• Other members are not vetted. Crews, trips, messages, and meetups with people you met through Landroamer are at your own risk.
• Leaderboards, badges, stats, and streaks are for fun. Never drive faster, farther, later, or harder to earn them.

Insurance

Confirm with your insurance provider that you and your vehicle are covered for offroad use before you participate in any offroad activity. Many standard auto policies exclude offroad driving, damage occurring off maintained roads, and recovery costs. This is your responsibility to verify, not ours.

Release of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Landroamer, its owners, developers, employees, and contractors from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, or causes of action arising out of or related to your use of the app or your participation in offroad or overland travel — including any accident, injury, death, property damage, vehicle damage, recovery cost, delay, becoming stranded, trespass, citation, or any other unforeseen event — whether or not caused in whole or in part by information provided through Landroamer, and including claims based on the negligence of Landroamer or of anyone acting on its behalf, to the fullest extent the law allows such claims to be released. Landroamer and its developers take no responsibility for damage, loss of property, injury, or accidents that occur on or off the trail. You understand that you may be giving up the right to sue. This release does not cover gross negligence or willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be released.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you post — photos, run logs, trail reports, campsites, comments. By posting, you grant Landroamer a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and distribute that content within the app for the purpose of operating the service, and to display it to other users according to the visibility you selected.

You confirm you have the right to post what you post, and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.

Marketing use of public photos and videos

You agree to allow Landroamer to use your publicly posted photos and videos in Landroamer's marketing efforts, including social media, the landroamer.io website, the app stores, newsletters, and other related Landroamer services and materials. “Publicly posted” means content you shared with everyone, rather than only with friends or in a private message. This is a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license that lets us crop, resize, caption, and combine the content with other material, and we may credit you by your Landroamer username. It does not cover content you post privately, direct messages, or crew chat — those stay private. If you delete a post or your account, we'll stop using that content in new material, but copies already published may remain.

Trail recordings

Pro members can record a drive in the app and submit it as a new trail. You keep ownership of your recording. By submitting it, you grant Landroamer the same license described above to use the recording — the route your device captured, along with the name, trail type, difficulty, and description you provide — to review, build, and publish a trail in the app. Every recording is reviewed by a person before anything is published, and a published trail is Landroamer's own drawing of the route, which may differ from your recording. Submit only drives you made yourself on roads that are legal to drive, and describe them in your own words. We keep submitted recordings as a record of how a trail was made, whether or not it is published.

5. Rules of use

Don't do these things:

• Post trail information you know to be false, or deliberately misrepresent conditions or difficulty.
• Post routes across private property without permission, or routes that are illegal to drive.
• Harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse other users.
• Upload unlawful, hateful, or sexually explicit content.
• Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, resell, or redistribute trail data or other users' content, or use it to train AI models.
• Use Landroamer, on a free or a Pro account, to build, supply, or improve another map, trail guide, app, dataset, or similar product or service, by hand or by automated means.
• Reverse engineer the app, attempt to bypass paid features, or interfere with the service or its security.
• Use another person's account, or share yours.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

6. Subscriptions and payment

Some features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play according to their terms, and they — not Landroamer — process your payment.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple or Google account settings. Free trials convert to paid unless cancelled before the trial ends. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We may change pricing with reasonable notice; changes won't affect a period you've already paid for.

7. Availability

We work to keep Landroamer running, but we don't guarantee it will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Offline features depend on you having downloaded content in advance.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

Landroamer is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that trail data, difficulty ratings, conditions, routes, directions, distances, travel times, fuel estimates, seasons, closures, land ownership, forest-road designations, named spots, weather, member content, or any other information in the app is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your use.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landroamer and its owners, developers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or for personal injury, death, or property damage, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the app — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid Landroamer in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred US dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for personal injury or certain damages. In those places, the above exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law, and nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot lawfully be limited.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Landroamer and its owners, developers, employees, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the app, your content, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Ending your use

You can stop using Landroamer and delete your account at any time from Settings.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, or your access to any part of the service, at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice, at our sole discretion. That includes, but is not limited to, a violation of these terms, conduct we consider harmful to other members or to Landroamer, or where required by law. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, and any refund is handled by them under their policies (see section 6). Sections 2a, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 12 survive termination.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we'll update the date above and notify you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Landroamer after that means you accept the new terms.
