Terms
Short and plain. By using Follow the Hiker you agree to these. Follow the Hiker is run by Kraig Adams.
Using the site
- Upload only tracks you recorded or have the right to share.
- Nothing illegal, no hate or harassment, nothing that infringes someone else's rights, and nothing that tries to break, overload or get around the site's limits.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself. You're responsible for what's done with it.
Your hikes stay yours
You own the tracks and words you upload. You give Follow the Hiker a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process and show them, as you choose (private, followers or public, always trimmed by your privacy zones), including drawing a new hike's page from public tracks, for as long as they're up. When you delete a hike or your account, the licence ends, apart from copies held briefly in backups.
Removing content
You can delete any hike or your whole account at any time. We may hide or remove content, or close an account, that breaks these terms or the law, or that puts people or the site at risk. If you think we got it wrong, email us.
No warranty
Follow the Hiker is provided as it is, without any warranty. Hike details, distances, conditions and booking dates can be wrong or out of date: check official sources, and hike at your own risk. The site may change, go down or lose data. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss that comes from using it.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed.
