Terms of Service

By using the PakTrails website or the PakTrails mobile app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them. They apply to both, and where something applies only to the app it says so.

Hiking and mountaineering carry real risk of injury and death. Everything here is information, not advice, and no route description, map or GPS track is a substitute for your own judgement, proper equipment, a weather forecast, or a local guide.

A downloaded map and route work without a signal, and that is the point of them, but a phone can break, freeze or run out of battery. Carry a paper map and a compass on anything remote, and tell someone where you are going. You walk at your own risk.

Trail conditions, access, permits and road heads change, sometimes between seasons and sometimes overnight. Distances and elevation figures are measured from recorded GPS tracks and are approximate. Verify current conditions before you travel. Tell us at paktrails.pk@gmail.com if something here is wrong and we will correct it.

You need an account only to save trails, download them for offline use, write a review or post a photograph. Keep your sign-in secure; you are responsible for what happens under your account. You can delete it at any time from Profile → Account → Delete Account in the app, which removes your account and everything you posted.

Reviews and photographs are written by other walkers, not by us. They are opinions and observations, and we do not verify them.

What you post must not be any of the following:

• abusive, harassing, threatening, or an attack on a person or group
• hateful towards anyone on the basis of religion, sect, ethnicity, nationality, gender, disability or sexuality
• sexual, obscene, or graphically violent
• someone else’s photograph or writing, unless you hold the rights to it
• a picture of an identifiable person who has not agreed to appear
• false, deliberately misleading about conditions or safety, or spam
• illegal, or an incitement to anything illegal

Reporting. If you see something that breaks these rules, write to paktrails.pk@gmail.com with a link to the trail and a description of the review or photograph. We aim to look at every report within 24 hours and we remove anything that breaks these rules.

Blocking and removal on request. Tell us at paktrails.pk@gmail.com if a particular account is targeting you and we will stop their content reaching you and act on the account. We suspend accounts that repeatedly break these rules and remove what they posted.

What we may do. We screen uploads and may remove anything that breaks these rules, without notice, and may suspend or close an account that does. You keep ownership of what you post, and you give us permission to show it on PakTrails beside the trail it relates to.

Trail descriptions, guides, editorial photographs and the site design belong to PakTrails or to the people who supplied them. Read them, use them to plan and print them for your own walk. Do not republish or resell them.

Some features require a paid subscription. The price, what it includes and how to cancel are shown before you pay. Where you subscribe through the App Store or Google Play, billing, renewal and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms, and you manage or cancel the subscription in your store account.

PakTrails is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from using the site or the app, or from relying on information in them. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

We may update these terms. The date below shows when they last changed, and material changes will be announced in the app.

For anything about these terms, about content you want removed, or about your account, write to paktrails.pk@gmail.com. See also our Privacy Policy.
