You are responsible for the confidentiality of your Google credentials and for any activity performed from your account.

5. Disclaimer / Limitation of liability

5.1 Acceptance of risks related to physical activity

  • Consulting a doctor if you have any doubt about your fitness for physical activity.
  • Choosing your routes safely.
  • Equipping yourself appropriately (clothing, shoes, hydration, night-time visibility, etc.).

5.2 No guarantee of geographic accuracy

The App displays geographic cells divided from Google's S2 grid. We do not guarantee in any way:

  • That these cells are all physically accessible, legal, or safe to access.
  • That GPS positions are accurate (the App depends on your device's GPS accuracy).
  • That the maps displayed are up-to-date or free of errors.

Our total liability to you, whatever the cause, may not exceed the amount you have paid us during the last 12 months, or, in the absence of any payment (the free version), CHF 0.

No provision of these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability in case of intentional gross negligence on our part, or for liabilities that cannot be legally excluded.
