A user may appeal a moderation, suspension, or termination decision by contacting support@hikersandtrails.com. Appeals will be reviewed in good faith by a person who was not solely responsible for the original decision where reasonably practicable.

10. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE

Outest continuously evolves.

We may:

We may make such changes with or without prior notice where permitted by law.

Where a change materially affects users’ rights or obligations, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.

PART 2 — HIKING, SAFETY, GPS, AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

11. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Outdoor recreation, including hiking, trekking, backpacking, camping, mountaineering, trail running, cycling, and similar activities, involves inherent and unpredictable risks.

By using Outest, you acknowledge and voluntarily accept that participation in outdoor activities may expose you to risks including, but not limited to:

You understand that no software application can eliminate these risks.

12. OUTEST IS AN INFORMATION PLATFORM

Outest is a technology platform that allows users to record, organize, and share outdoor experiences.

Outest:

Any route, recommendation, GPX file, comment, photograph, review, or trail description available on Outest is provided for informational purposes only.

Users remain solely responsible for deciding whether a route is appropriate for their own skills, equipment, experience, and physical condition.

13. USER RESPONSIBILITY

You are solely responsible for:

Outest cannot make these decisions on your behalf.

14. GPS AND LOCATION ACCURACY

GPS technology is inherently imperfect.

Location information may be affected by:

Accordingly, Outest does not guarantee that:

GPS should never be relied upon as the sole means of navigation.

Users should carry appropriate backup navigation tools whenever necessary.

15. MAPS AND ROUTES

Maps displayed within Outest are provided for convenience.

Map information may be:

Roads, trails, bridges, campsites, water sources, and landmarks may change without notice.

Natural events, construction, erosion, storms, fires, flooding, or government action may permanently alter outdoor environments.

Users should independently verify current conditions before beginning any hike.

16. USER-GENERATED TRAILS

Many hiking routes available through Outest are created by users.

Outest does not guarantee that user-generated trails are:

Users should independently evaluate every trail before attempting it.

17. GPX FILES

Users may upload or download GPX files.

GPX files may contain:

Downloading or following a GPX file does not imply that Outest has reviewed or approved it.

18. WEATHER CONDITIONS

Outdoor conditions may change rapidly.

Users are solely responsible for monitoring:

Outest does not guarantee that weather information displayed within the Service is current or complete.

19. EMERGENCY SERVICES

Outest is not an emergency service.

Outest should never be relied upon to:

In an emergency, users should contact the appropriate emergency services using available communication methods.

Safety contacts, check-ins, and live sharing

Outest may let you add emergency or safety contacts, start live-location sharing, send or prepare SOS or safety messages, and create automatic or manual check-ins. These features are optional coordination tools. They are not monitored emergency services and do not replace contacting emergency responders directly.

Before entering another person's name, phone number, relationship, or other contact details, you represent that you are permitted to provide those details and to ask Outest to use them for the safety feature you select. You must not add a person or send repeated safety messages for harassment, tracking, or any unlawful purpose.

An active safety-link URL acts like an access key: anyone who receives or obtains the link may be able to view the latest location and related safety status available through that link until it expires or sharing stops. You are responsible for choosing recipients, protecting the link, and stopping sharing when it is no longer needed.

Outest does not guarantee that a safety contact, link holder, or emergency responder will receive, open, or act on any message, check-in, call, SMS, or location update. Delivery and accuracy may be affected by GPS accuracy, network coverage, device power, permissions, background restrictions, third-party messaging or telephone services, and the recipient's device or settings.

Your mobile carrier or another provider may charge for calls, SMS, data, roaming, or other communications. You and the recipient are responsible for those charges. In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency services directly using the most reliable method available.

20. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

Outest does not provide:

Trail statistics, pace calculations, elevation data, or hiking history should not be interpreted as medical advice.

Users should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding medical concerns.

21. WILDLIFE

Outdoor environments contain wildlife.

Users may encounter:

Outest cannot predict or prevent wildlife encounters.

Users are responsible for understanding local wildlife risks.

22. PLANTS

Some plants may be:

Plant information available within Outest should not be considered professional botanical advice.

Users should never consume wild plants based solely on information obtained through Outest.

23. PRIVATE PROPERTY

Users are solely responsible for ensuring lawful access.

Outest does not guarantee that any route is legally accessible.

24. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Users are expected to respect nature.

Users should:

Illegal or environmentally harmful activity may result in account suspension.

25. AI-POWERED FEATURES

Outest provides artificial intelligence features, including but not limited to:

Artificial intelligence systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or incorrect information.

AI-generated content should be considered informational only.

AI-generated and AI-assisted outputs are identified in the interface. Where a feature sends user data to an AI model, Outest presents a purpose-specific processing choice before the model request. A Premium subscription does not itself constitute consent to AI processing.

You may withdraw an optional AI-processing choice in Settings. Withdrawal applies to future requests. Features that can operate without optional AI processing, such as publishing with local safety checks, remain available where described in the Service.

Users must independently verify important information before relying upon it.

26. FUTURE FEATURES

Future Outest features may include:

Additional terms may apply to these features.

27. LIMITATION OF SAFETY REPRESENTATIONS

Nothing within Outest constitutes:

Users assume full responsibility for their outdoor decisions.

28. ACCEPTANCE OF OUTDOOR RISKS

By using Outest to record, follow, share, or discover outdoor routes, you acknowledge that:

PART 3 – USER CONTENT, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND COMMUNITY

29. OWNERSHIP OF USER CONTENT

Outest does not claim ownership of the original intellectual property rights in the content you create and upload.

Subject to these Terms, you retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you legally own in your:

You represent and warrant that you either:

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your content does not infringe the rights of others.

30. LICENSE GRANTED TO OUTEST

By making User Content available through Outest, you grant Outest a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence, only to the extent reasonably necessary to host, store, reproduce, process, format, resize, compress, convert, display, distribute, cache, synchronize, back up, index, transmit, secure, moderate, and make that content available in accordance with your settings and the features you choose.

The licence allows Outest to operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, improve, and provide the Service. Outest may promote public Outest content within the Service. Use of an identifiable user’s content in external advertising or promotional campaigns requires separate permission where required by law, except for ordinary sharing, embedding, previews, and links initiated through Service functionality.

This licence does not transfer ownership of User Content to Outest. It ends when the relevant content is deleted from active systems, except for limited backup copies, content lawfully reshared by others, and retention necessary for legal compliance, fraud or abuse prevention, security, or dispute resolution.

31. PUBLIC CONTENT

If you choose to make content public, you understand that it may be viewed by:

Public content may be:

Although Outest provides privacy settings, no online platform can guarantee that publicly shared content will never be copied or redistributed by others.

32. CONTENT REMOVAL

You may delete your own content through the features provided by Outest.

Deletion generally removes the content from active systems within a reasonable period.

However, copies may remain:

Deleted content cannot always be restored.

33. PROHIBITED CONTENT

You may not upload, publish, or distribute content that:

Outest may remove such content without prior notice.

34. COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Users are expected to contribute positively to the hiking community.

Examples of expected conduct include:

Outest may issue Community Guidelines that supplement these Terms.

Violation of Community Guidelines may result in moderation actions.

35. CONTENT MODERATION

All posts, stories, images, and video thumbnails are automatically screened for safety before they are visible to others, using an automated moderation service (currently OpenAI's moderation API as a data processor). This screening is a condition of using the community features and is not optional. Content that cannot be screened automatically is reviewed by Outest.

Outest may also use proportionate automated tools and human review to detect, review, restrict, or remove content and to investigate reports. Moderation factors may include legality, user safety, intellectual property, privacy, platform integrity, community standards, context, severity, and repeated violations.

Before enabling public community or user-to-user interaction features, Outest will maintain reasonable safeguards appropriate to those features, including tools for reporting objectionable content and blocking abusive users, filtering or restricting prohibited material where appropriate, and responding to reports within a reasonable time.

When Outest restricts content or an account, it will provide the affected user with the material reason and an appeal method where required by law and where doing so would not compromise safety, security, fraud prevention, an investigation, or another person’s rights.

Automated screening and review reduce risk but cannot guarantee that prohibited content will never appear. This does not limit any moderation or consumer obligation imposed by applicable law.

36. REPORTING CONTENT

Users may use the in-app reporting tools or contact support to report content, conduct, or accounts that may violate these Terms, Community Guidelines, intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, safety rules, or applicable law.

Reports should include enough information to identify the content and explain the concern. Support contact: support@hikersandtrails.com.

Outest may acknowledge, investigate, prioritize, and act on reports according to severity, legal obligations, available evidence, and risk to users. Knowingly false, abusive, or retaliatory reports may violate these Terms.

38. TRAIL INFORMATION

Trail information submitted by users is provided for informational purposes only.

Outest does not verify:

Users should independently verify all trail information before relying upon it.

39. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OUTEST

Except for User Content, all rights in the Outest Service are owned by or licensed to HIKERS AND TRAILS İÇ VE DIŞ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ.

This includes, without limitation:

These rights are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

No rights are granted except those expressly provided in these Terms.

40. TRADEMARKS

“Outest,” the Outest logo, HIKERS AND TRAILS, and associated names, graphics, icons, slogans, and branding elements are trademarks or trademark applications owned by HIKERS AND TRAILS İÇ VE DIŞ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ.

You may not:

without prior written permission.

Reference to Outest for descriptive purposes is permitted where allowed by law and does not imply affiliation.

41. FEEDBACK

If you voluntarily submit:

you grant Outest a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, implement, publish, and commercialize that feedback without compensation, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

42. OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE

Outest may include software distributed under open-source licenses.

Your rights regarding such components are governed by the applicable open-source licenses.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights expressly granted under those licenses.

43. REVERSE ENGINEERING

Except where prohibited by applicable law, you may not:

any part of Outest.

44. DATA SCRAPING

You may not use automated means to:

Unauthorized scraping or automated extraction may result in legal action.

45. AI-GENERATED CONTENT

Where Outest introduces AI-assisted features:

Users remain responsible for any content they publish, whether created manually or with AI assistance.

PART 4 — PREMIUM SERVICES, PAYMENTS, LIABILITY, AND TERMINATION

46. PREMIUM SERVICES

Outest may offer free and paid features.

Premium Services may include, but are not limited to:

Premium features may change over time.

The availability of Premium Services may vary by country, platform, device, or operating system.

Outest reserves the right to introduce, modify, suspend, or discontinue Premium Services at any time, subject to applicable law.

47. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Outest offers auto-renewing monthly and yearly Premium subscriptions. Availability, plan names, included benefits, and prices may vary by country, platform, currency, tax treatment, and lawful promotional offer.

Before the user confirms payment, the applicable purchase screen displays the billing period, total price and currency, applicable taxes, included benefits, whether the plan renews automatically, the renewal price and date or method for determining it, trial or introductory terms if any, and how to cancel.

The plan-specific terms shown at the point of purchase and in the app-store receipt form part of these Terms for that transaction. The user must be able to retain or access a durable confirmation of the transaction.

One-time purchases or other non-renewing products, if introduced, will be clearly identified as non-subscription products and will not be described as lifetime access unless the meaning and duration of that access are expressly defined before purchase.

48. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

A subscription will renew automatically only if it is clearly described as auto-renewing before purchase. Unless cancelled before the renewal deadline shown by the payment platform, it will renew for the disclosed billing period and the applicable platform may charge the renewal price and taxes to the user’s selected payment method.

Any price change or material change to renewal terms will be communicated in advance as required by applicable law and platform rules. Where consent or opt-in is required, the new price or term will not apply unless that consent or opt-in is obtained.

Renewal processing is controlled by the platform or authorized payment provider. Outest will provide clear access to the relevant subscription-management method.

49. FREE TRIALS

Outest may offer a free trial only after its duration, eligibility conditions, included benefits, price after the trial, billing period, automatic-conversion terms, and cancellation deadline are clearly displayed before enrollment.

A free trial may convert to a paid subscription only if that consequence is clearly disclosed and the user completes the required purchase authorization. Users must be told how to cancel before a charge occurs.

No free trial will be offered until all of those terms have been finalized and displayed in the applicable purchase flow.

50. PRICING

The full amount charged for each billing period, currency, applicable taxes, and any introductory and renewal prices will be displayed before purchase. Pricing may vary by country, platform, currency, tax treatment, or lawful promotional offer.

A displayed monthly equivalent for a longer plan will not replace or obscure the total amount actually charged for that billing period.

Price changes will apply only prospectively and with the notice, consent, cancellation rights, and platform process required by applicable law. They will not alter a completed billing period.

51. PAYMENT PROCESSING

Payments may be processed by:

Outest does not store complete payment-card information when purchases are processed through these providers.

Outest uses RevenueCat to manage subscription products, purchase status, entitlements, renewals, restorations, and subscription-support information. RevenueCat does not replace Apple or Google as the payment processor for purchases completed through their stores.

Payment information is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the applicable payment provider.

52. REFUNDS

Refunds for purchases processed by Apple or Google are generally requested and administered through the relevant platform, subject to the platform’s procedures and all mandatory consumer rights.

If direct purchases are introduced, Outest will publish and present a Refund Policy before accepting payment. That policy will not limit any mandatory right to a refund, price reduction, repair, re-performance, cancellation, withdrawal, or other remedy.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits remedies that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

53. CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS

Users may cancel an auto-renewing subscription at any time through the platform where it was purchased. Cancellation prevents future renewal and generally leaves access available until the end of the paid period, unless applicable law or the payment platform provides otherwise.

Deleting an Outest account does not automatically cancel an Apple App Store or Google Play subscription. A user with an active subscription should cancel it through the relevant platform before or when requesting account deletion. Outest will display this warning in the account-deletion flow.

Cancellation does not automatically create a refund for the current billing period, but this does not limit any mandatory consumer right or a more favorable platform decision.

Manage Apple subscriptions: Apple subscription settings

Request an Apple refund: Apple refund request page

Manage Google Play subscriptions: Google Play subscription settings

Request a Google Play refund: Google Play refund request page

54. CHANGES TO PREMIUM SERVICES

Outest may improve, reorganize, or replace Premium features. Outest will not materially reduce the core paid benefits during an active paid period without providing the notice and remedy required by applicable law.

Where a material adverse change cannot reasonably be avoided, affected users will receive an appropriate remedy, which may include continued access for the paid period, a materially equivalent benefit, cancellation without additional charge, or a proportionate refund where required.

Changes to future plans or future billing periods will be disclosed before purchase or renewal as required by law and platform rules.

55. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY

Outest strives to maintain high availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

The Service may be unavailable due to:

Temporary interruptions do not automatically entitle users to compensation or refunds unless required by law.

56. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Outest relies on third-party providers including, but not limited to:

Outest is not responsible for interruptions, failures, delays, security incidents, or changes arising from third-party services beyond our reasonable control.

57. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Outest is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Outest does not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every device, permanent availability of every feature, or complete accuracy of maps, GPS data, User Content, or outdoor information.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any statutory guarantee, conformity obligation, warranty, remedy, or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including rights relating to paid digital content or digital services.

58. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, breach of a non-excludable consumer obligation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

For consumers, Outest’s liability is determined by applicable mandatory law. References to inherent outdoor risk do not remove Outest’s obligation to use reasonable care in operating the Service or affect mandatory remedies for defective paid digital content or services.

For Business Accounts and other users acting for commercial or professional purposes, and only to the extent permitted by law, Outest will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses that were not reasonably foreseeable. Except for non-excludable liability, Outest’s aggregate liability to a Business Account arising from the Service will not exceed the greater of the fees paid by that Business Account for the affected Service during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim or EUR 100.

Outest is not responsible for loss caused solely by a user’s failure to follow reasonable safety warnings, unlawful conduct, unauthorized modification of the Service, or reliance on information that the user knew or should reasonably have known was inaccurate, subject always to applicable law.

59. INDEMNIFICATION

This indemnification clause applies only to Business Accounts and users acting for commercial or professional purposes, and only to the extent permitted by law.

Such a user agrees to indemnify HIKERS AND TRAILS İÇ VE DIŞ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs directly arising from that user’s unlawful User Content, wilful misconduct, material breach of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights, except to the extent the claim was caused by Outest or a matter for which Outest is legally responsible.

Consumer users are responsible for losses they directly cause through unlawful conduct, wilful misconduct, or a material breach only to the extent provided by applicable law. No consumer is required to indemnify or defend Outest where such an obligation would be unfair, disproportionate, or otherwise unenforceable.

60. FORCE MAJEURE

Outest shall not be liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to:

Where possible, Outest will make reasonable efforts to restore affected services.

61. TERMINATION BY THE USER

You may stop using Outest at any time and may initiate account deletion through the in-app account settings or the account-deletion webpage.

Account deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions. Deleting your Outest account does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. If you have an active auto-renewing subscription, cancel it through the relevant platform to prevent future charges.

Before deletion, Outest will explain the expected effect on User Content, data that must be retained, active subscriptions, and any available export or download options.

Termination does not affect rights and obligations that accrued before termination, including valid payment obligations, consumer remedies, intellectual-property rights, and provisions intended to survive.

Account deletion: Outest account deletion page

62. TERMINATION BY OUTEST

Outest may suspend or terminate access to the Service where reasonably necessary to:

Where appropriate, Outest may provide advance notice or an opportunity to remedy a breach before termination.

63. SURVIVAL

The following sections survive termination of these Terms where applicable:

PART 5 — GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTES, PLATFORM TERMS, AND FINAL PROVISIONS

64. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections available under the law of your country or place of habitual residence where those protections cannot legally be waived.

65. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Before starting formal proceedings, users are encouraged, but not required, to contact support@hikersandtrails.com so the parties can attempt to resolve the matter in good faith.

Consumers in Türkiye may apply to the competent Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) or Consumer Court (Tüketici Mahkemesi), as applicable under the current monetary thresholds and procedural rules.

Other disputes may be submitted to the competent courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye, subject to any mandatory right of a consumer to bring a claim before the courts or authorities of the consumer’s country or place of residence.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief where permitted by law, and nothing creates mandatory private arbitration.

66. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Outest may send service-related communications electronically, including account notices, security alerts, transaction records, billing information, subscription updates, support messages, and legally required notices.

Electronic communications satisfy writing requirements only to the extent permitted by applicable law, and Outest will provide information through a durable medium where required.

Acceptance of these Terms does not constitute consent to marketing communications. Marketing consent, withdrawal, and opt-out choices will be handled separately as required by applicable law.

67. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Outest may update these Terms to reflect legal, security, technical, operational, or product changes. Updates will not retroactively remove accrued consumer rights or alter a completed transaction except where permitted by law.

For material changes, Outest will provide reasonable advance notice through the application, website, email, or another appropriate channel. The notice will summarize the material change and state its effective date.

Where law requires express consent, the change will not bind the user unless that consent is obtained. Continued use will constitute acceptance only where that method is legally valid and the user received adequate notice.

If a material change adversely affects an ongoing paid service, the user may exercise any cancellation, termination, or refund right required by applicable law or platform rules.

68. ASSIGNMENT

Outest may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, transfer of the Outest business, or sale of relevant assets, provided that the assignment does not reduce mandatory consumer rights.

Where required by law, Outest will notify affected users in advance. If an assignment materially and adversely affects an ongoing consumer service, the user may exercise any termination or cancellation right provided by law.

A user may not assign obligations that are personal to that user without Outest’s written consent, but this restriction does not prevent the exercise or transfer of rights where applicable law permits it.

69. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court or competent authority to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted to the maximum extent permitted by law while preserving its original intent.

The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

70. WAIVER

Failure by Outest to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other right.

Any waiver must be made expressly and in writing.

A waiver of one breach does not constitute a waiver of future breaches.

71. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the general agreement governing use of the Service. Community Guidelines, Cookie Policies, Subscription Terms, Refund Policies, or feature-specific terms form part of the agreement only when they are actually published or presented to the user and apply to the relevant feature or transaction.

Plan-specific purchase terms shown before payment control for that purchase if they conflict with a general description in these Terms. Mandatory consumer rights always prevail.

These documents supersede prior understandings about the same subject matter, but do not exclude representations or rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Privacy Policy: Outest Privacy Policy

72. NO PARTNERSHIP

Nothing contained in these Terms creates:

between Outest and any user.

Users participate independently and remain solely responsible for their own actions.

73. EXPORT COMPLIANCE

You represent that you are not prohibited from receiving the Service under applicable law.

Warranty. Outest is solely responsible for warranties that cannot be validly disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price for the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and Outest is responsible for other warranty-related claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses.

Product claims. Outest, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or its possession or use, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection, privacy, or similar claims.

Intellectual-property claims. If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes intellectual-property rights, Outest, not Apple, is responsible for investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.

Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism and that you are not listed on a United States Government restricted-party list, except where such a representation is prohibited by applicable law.

Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App, including the terms of your mobile network, device platform, and integrated service providers.

75. GOOGLE PLAY TERMS

If the App is obtained through Google Play, these Terms are between you and HIKERS AND TRAILS İÇ VE DIŞ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, not Google. Outest is responsible for the App, its content, and support, subject to applicable law.

Purchases, subscriptions, renewal, cancellation, and refunds processed through Google Play are also governed by Google Play’s applicable billing terms and procedures. Outest will clearly display the price, billing period, renewal terms, and cancellation method before purchase.

Outest will provide access from the App’s account or subscription settings to an easy-to-use online subscription-management method where required. Deleting an Outest account does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription.

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights or modifies rights arising under applicable Google Play policies.

76. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE
