Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, downloading the mobile app, or using zorove.com, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. Who we are

ZoRove is operated as a sole proprietorship based in Texas, United States. Throughout these terms, "ZoRove," "we," and "us" refer to that operator. "You" refers to the person using the service.

3. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 13 years old to use ZoRove. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us at signup, for keeping your password secure, and for everything that happens on your account.

4. License to use ZoRove

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use ZoRove for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

5. Your content

You own everything you create on ZoRove — your places, photos, reviews, tracks, notes, vehicles, comments, Tribe posts, and feature requests.

By marking content public (a public place, a public Tribe notice, a comment, a feedback post), you grant ZoRove and other users a worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and reproduce that content as part of the service. You can delete your content at any time, subject to community-protection rules in the app (e.g., once other users have engaged with a public place, you can hide it but admins may keep the historical record so the community contributions aren't lost).

You're responsible for the content you post. Don't post anything you don't have the right to post.

6. Acceptable use

Don't use ZoRove to:

• Post anything illegal, hateful, harassing, defamatory, infringing, or sexually explicit
• Post fake or dangerous information (e.g., false hazard warnings, fake closed-road reports, fake trail conditions)
• Reveal private property locations to encourage trespassing, or share access information for sites where you don't have permission
• Impersonate another person or organization
• Scrape, mass-download, or otherwise extract data at scale
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from the service
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute ZoRove or its data
• Disrupt the service (DDoS, abuse rate limits, exploit vulnerabilities)
• Use the service to track or monitor people without their consent

We may remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate access for violations of this section.

7. Safety disclaimer — read this

ZoRove is a planning and discovery tool, not a safety device. Map data and overlays come from many sources — government agencies (BLM, USFS, NPS, USGS, NIFC, NOAA), OpenStreetMap, and other ZoRove users. The data is provided as-is and may be inaccurate, outdated, or wrong:

• Public-land boundaries can be wrong or out of date.
• Roads and trails may be closed, washed out, or seasonal.
• Campgrounds may have changed status, ownership, or rules.
• Cell coverage estimates are predictive, not measured at your location.
• GPS positioning depends on your device and conditions; coordinates may drift, especially under heavy tree canopy or in canyons.
• Fire perimeters and weather data have inherent reporting delays.

Always verify locally before relying on ZoRove for navigation, safety, or legal access decisions. Carry a paper topographic map and compass. Tell someone where you're going. Check current conditions with the relevant land manager. If you're in an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) — do not rely on ZoRove.

You assume all risk of using the service, including any decisions you make based on the information it shows.

8. Pro subscription

Pro features are available for $4 per month or $38 per year, billed by Stripe. New subscribers get a 14-day free trial. You can cancel any time from your account page; access continues until the end of the current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods. We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice for renewals; current subscribers keep their current price for the remainder of any prepaid term.

9. Third-party data and services

The map overlays and data sources we use have their own terms and licenses (e.g., OpenStreetMap is licensed under ODbL; many government datasets are public domain). We comply with the upstream licenses, and we don't relicense their data to you. If you re-publish data sourced through ZoRove, you must comply with the upstream license, not just our terms.

10. Service availability

We aim to keep ZoRove running reliably, but we don't guarantee uptime, error-free operation, or that any specific feature will be available at any given time. We may add, change, or remove features. Offline downloads remain usable on your device per the offline section of the app.

11. Termination

You can stop using ZoRove and request account deletion at any time by emailing hello@zorove.com.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or pose a risk to other users. Where reasonable, we'll give notice and an opportunity to fix the issue first. Upon termination, your right to use ZoRove ends immediately, but content you've contributed to public surfaces (e.g., places, comments) may remain available to the community in line with Section 5.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

ZoRove is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZoRove and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or relating to ZoRove is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, in which case they apply only to the maximum extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify ZoRove and its operator against any third-party claims arising from your content, your use of the service, or your violation of these terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, except that either party may bring a small-claims action in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via in-app notice with at least 14 days' notice before taking effect. Your continued use of ZoRove after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and ZoRove regarding the service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale of the business.
