Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel your subscription through your device's app store settings or your account settings on our website. Refunds are subject to the policies of the applicable app store or payment processor.
We reserve the right to change subscription prices with reasonable notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing period following the notice.
8. Safety and Assumption of Risk
Outdoor activities such as hiking and biking involve inherent risks including but not limited to injury, illness, property damage, and death. By using TrailTimes to plan or record outdoor activities, you acknowledge and assume all risks associated with such activities.
TrailTimes does not verify or guarantee the safety, condition, or legality of any trail, route, or outdoor area. Trail conditions can change due to weather, natural events, closures, or other factors. Always exercise your own judgment, check current conditions, follow local regulations, and carry appropriate safety equipment.
