Last updated: March 15, 2026

These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Agreement") govern your use of the mobile applications, services and related websites (collectively, the "App") provided by Nathan Sobol ("Nathan," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the App you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App.

The App provides tools for tracking the completion of hiking lists, recording hike journals, and engaging with game or social features related to mountains such as the New Hampshire 48 (NH48) peaks and other lists. The App is provided for informational, educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for navigation, safety or emergency planning. Nathan offers the App as an individual, not as a corporation, and operates solely under these terms.

This Agreement is effective as of the date you first use the App and will remain in effect until terminated. We reserve the right to update or modify this Agreement at any time. Material changes will be communicated through in-App notifications, email, or by posting updated terms. Continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Purchases and Subscriptions

10. Purchase Options

The App may offer free features alongside optional one-time purchases, premium content unlocks, and subscription services. Access to premium features depends on successful payment and maintaining an active subscription. All purchases are processed through Apple's App Store or other authorized payment processors. You acknowledge that Apple's terms, billing cycles, subscription renewals, and cancellation policies apply to any purchases made via the App Store.

11. Refunds

Refunds are not automatic. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, you must contact us within ninety (90) days after the date of purchase. We will review requests on a case-by-case basis. Refunds may be granted after mutual agreement. Abuse, fraud, chargeback misconduct, or excessive refund requests may limit your eligibility. Purchases made through Apple may also be subject to Apple's refund policies; please consult Apple's support for details.

12. Subscription Renewal and Cancellation

Subscriptions, if offered, may automatically renew at the end of the billing period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account settings. Cancellation of a subscription will stop the next billing cycle, but you will retain access to premium features until the end of the current period. If your payment method fails, premium access may be suspended until the payment is successfully processed.

The App, including its user interface, design, written content, code, structure, features, and proprietary datasets, is owned and copyrighted by Nathan Sobol, except where otherwise noted. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

14. Third-Party Content

Some mountain photographs and list references used within the App originate from public sources, including Wikimedia Commons and other open repositories.

Accuracy and Service Disclaimers

16. Informational Purposes Only

The App aggregates information about hiking lists, mountains, trails, elevation, prominence, coordinates and related content from public sources and community contributions. While we strive to present accurate and up-to-date information, we do not guarantee that list data, trail data, mountain statistics, weather references, route notes, conditions, or map overlays are complete, current, accurate, or official. The App may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Discrepancies may exist between the App and official agencies, clubs, guidebooks, land managers, or government sources. You agree to independently verify critical information with official sources before making decisions.

17. No Professional Advice

The App is provided for informational, educational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute professional advice of any kind. It should not be used as a substitute for navigation tools, safety planning, weather forecasting, emergency guidance, or legal or medical advice.

Assumption of Risk and Limitation of Liability

18. Assumption of Risk

Outdoor activities such as hiking, mountaineering and travel carry inherent risks, including but not limited to injury, death, property damage, severe weather, natural hazards, and other dangers. By using the App you acknowledge and assume all risks associated with outdoor activities. You agree that Nathan is not responsible for decisions you make based on App content, including route selection, trail choice, equipment selection or travel plans.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Nathan disclaims all liability for any injury, death, loss, damage, fine, trespass, rescue cost, missed objective or any other consequence arising from your use of or reliance on the App. This includes liability for damages due to inaccuracies in the data, user-generated content, outages, lost progress, corrupted data, failed sync, subscription interruptions, or any breach of warranty. The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability; in such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nathan and any related affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees arising out of your use of the App, your content, or your violation of these terms or any applicable law.

Outdoor and Hiking Terms

21. Changing Conditions

Trail and route conditions change rapidly due to weather, seasons, wildlife, closures, maintenance, and other factors. Parking availability, access, private land rights, water crossings, avalanche hazards, snow, ice, mud, blowdown, washouts, wildfire and other conditions must be checked independently with official land managers and governmental agencies. The App's information may become outdated immediately. You are solely responsible for assessing conditions, verifying trail closures, obtaining permits, and respecting landowner and government restrictions.

22. Navigation and Safety

Map pins, check-in locations and game-related geolocations are for gameplay or informational reference only and should not be relied upon for real-world navigation or rescue. Always carry proper navigation tools, maps and emergency supplies. Follow official guidance from park, forest, state and local authorities.

23. Preparedness and Lawful Use

Users are solely responsible for their preparedness, safety planning, and lawful use of land. Always plan hikes responsibly, inform others of your plans, carry appropriate gear, and adhere to Leave No Trace principles.

33. Disclaimers Regarding Lists and Clubs

Unless expressly stated, the App is not affiliated with any hiking club, list-certification organization, or governmental agency. List completion tracking within the App is unofficial and for personal enjoyment only. Club organizations are not responsible for App content or your use of it.

Game, Social, and Profile Features

24. Gameplay and Rewards

Game progression, scores, streaks, badges, unlocks, leaderboards, and related achievements are provided for entertainment. We make no promise that any particular game mode, reward, rank, streak, cosmetic or leaderboard feature will be available permanently. We reserve the right to modify, reset, or discontinue game features at any time.

25. Social and User Content

The App may allow you to connect with friends, share progress, or post content such as journal entries and profile bios. We may moderate, remove, hide, or restrict content that violates this Agreement, infringes upon intellectual property, or is otherwise inappropriate. We have no duty to monitor user content, nor do we assume responsibility for user interactions. You are solely responsible for the content you submit and the interactions you engage in via the App.

26. Community Guidelines

By using social features, you agree to treat other users with respect. Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, illegal or harmful behavior will not be tolerated. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate community guidelines.

Data Sync, Backups, and Device Issues

27. Sync and Data Integrity

If enabled, cloud sync attempts to keep your data consistent across devices. Sync may lag, fail, conflict, overwrite or merge data imperfectly. Local and cloud data may temporarily disagree, and some progression may be lost during network disruptions, device changes, or app reinstalls. We are not responsible for data drift, missing sync, stale state, duplicate entries, or discrepancies arising from these issues.

28. Backups and Restores

We recommend that you manually back up important data such as journal entries or lists through export features (if available). Device backups, restores, reinstalls, sign-outs, or offline usage can affect saved data. We do not guarantee that your data will be preserved.

Third-Party and Platform Dependencies

29. Open Source Libraries and Third-Party Tools

The App relies on open source libraries, Apple frameworks, Firebase, Supabase, Wikimedia Commons content and other third-party services. These services may change or be discontinued at any time. We have no control over their availability or policies.

30. Third-Party Terms

Your use of the App may be subject to additional third-party terms, including Apple's App Store terms, Firebase's terms, and Wikimedia Commons' licenses. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using the App.
