Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Seekrs at seekrs.io (the "Service"), operated by Seekrs ("we", "us", "our").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Seekrs.

2. What Seekrs is

Seekrs is a platform that connects hikers with group outdoor events and helps organisers publish hikes, manage bookings, and communicate with their community.

Organisers, not Seekrs, plan and lead hikes. We do not guarantee the safety, quality, or accuracy of any hike. Participation in outdoor activities involves inherent risk.

3. Accounts

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
• Keep your login details secure and notify us if you suspect unauthorised access.
• Use one account per person unless we agree otherwise.
• Be at least 13 years old to create an account (or the minimum age required in your country if higher).

4. Hikers

When you book a hike you agree that:

• You are responsible for your own fitness, equipment, and safety on the day.
• You will follow the organiser’s reasonable instructions and any cancellation rules shown for that hike.
• Some groups require you to accept their waiver or terms before booking; those are between you and the organiser.
• Booking confirms your spot when shown as confirmed in the app; organiser check-in may use your ticket on the day.

5. Organisers

If you publish hikes or host a group you agree that:

• You are responsible for planning, leading, and communicating about your events.
• Information you publish (times, location, difficulty, capacity) must be accurate and kept up to date.
• You comply with applicable laws, land access rules, insurance expectations, and safety standards for your activities.
• Your group waiver or terms are your responsibility; Seekrs provides tools to display them but does not provide legal advice.
• You will treat hikers fairly and respond to booking-related issues promptly.

6. Bookings, cancellations, and waitlists

Booking rules, cancellation policies, and capacity limits are set per hike and shown before you book. We may offer waitlists when hikes are full. We may modify booking features as the product evolves; we will not intentionally remove confirmed bookings without notice except where required for safety, legal reasons, or platform abuse.

7. Payments

Many hikes are free today. If paid bookings or booking fees are introduced, pricing will be shown before you confirm payment. Additional payment terms may apply at that time.

8. Acceptable use

You must not:

• Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or misleading purposes.
• Harass, abuse, or impersonate others.
• Post false hike listings or scrape the Service without permission.
• Attempt to bypass security or access others’ accounts or data.
• Use the Service in a way that could damage Seekrs or other users.

9. Content

You retain ownership of content you upload (photos, text, group branding). You grant Seekrs a non-exclusive licence to host, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate the Service (for example, showing your hike on seekrs.io and in emails to booked hikers).

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms or harm the community.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Seekrs is not liable for the acts or omissions of organisers or other users, or for injury, loss, or damage arising from outdoor activities booked through the platform except where liability cannot be excluded by law.

11. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Subject to that, our total liability to you for claims arising from the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) £100 or (b) the amount you paid us for the Service in that period (if any).

12. Termination

You may stop using Seekrs at any time and may delete your account in settings where available. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or if needed to protect the platform. Provisions that should survive termination (including disclaimers and liability limits) will survive.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence where applicable.
