Terms of Service

Last updated: June 15, 2026

The short version. Campound is a map. The outdoors is not. If you head into the backcountry, you're responsible for your own safety, navigation, and judgment — Campound is one of many tools to help you, not a substitute for ranger districts, official maps, weather services, or your own preparation. We provide the app "as is," we can't guarantee the data is correct, and we limit our liability to the maximum extent the law allows. Disputes are handled by individual arbitration. Please read the full terms below before using the app.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Zombo Software, LLC ("Zombo," "we," "us"), the publisher of the Campound mobile app, Apple Watch companion, related software, and any Campound-branded website (collectively, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian must read and accept these Terms on your behalf.

2. What Campound is — and what it is not

Campound is a recreation and trip-planning app that displays public-lands data, trail and route information, campground listings, and tools for capturing your own waypoints, lines, and photos. Campound is informational only. It is not, and is not intended to be, any of the following:

A safety device, survival tool, or substitute for proper outdoor preparation, equipment, training, or judgment.
A source of authoritative legal land-ownership, boundary, easement, or access information.
A real-time emergency, rescue, or notification service.
A substitute for official maps, regulations, conditions, closures, fire restrictions, permit requirements, or notices from the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Recreation.gov, state agencies, or any other managing authority.
Professional advice of any kind, including navigation, medical, legal, weather, or wildlife advice.

3. Assumption of risk — outdoor activities

You acknowledge that outdoor recreation — including hiking, camping, off-road driving, backcountry travel, fishing, paddling, and related activities — carries inherent and significant risks of property damage, serious bodily injury, illness, and death. These risks include but are not limited to: weather and storms; cold, heat, dehydration, and exposure; falls, rockfall, and avalanche; wildlife encounters; getting lost or stranded; vehicle damage or breakdown on unimproved roads; equipment failure; the acts or omissions of other persons; and natural hazards that may not be marked, mapped, or known. You voluntarily and knowingly assume all of these risks when you use the Service to plan or undertake any outdoor activity.

You are solely responsible for: assessing your own skills, fitness, equipment, and experience against the activity; carrying appropriate gear (including independent navigation tools such as paper maps and a compass, sufficient water and food, communication devices, and first-aid supplies); checking current conditions, closures, permits, and regulations with the managing agency before you travel; and notifying a responsible person of your plans.

4. Data accuracy — no guarantees

Campound's maps and information are aggregated from sources that include public datasets (e.g., USGS PAD-US, USFS, BLM, Recreation.gov / RIDB), open-source mapping projects (e.g., OpenStreetMap, OpenFreeMap, OpenTopoMap), third-party providers (e.g., Mapbox), user contributions, and our own processing. These sources are frequently incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Trails are misnamed, mismapped, or no longer exist on the ground. Roads shown as drivable may be impassable, gated, washed out, snowed in, or on private land. Land-ownership shading is approximate and is not a legal property line. Campground availability and reservation status can be wrong, stale, or unavailable. Elevation, distance, and time estimates are approximations. You may not rely on the Service for navigation, access rights, or any decision where being wrong has real-world consequences. Always confirm before you act on what you see.

5. Not an emergency service

The Service does not contact emergency responders, search-and-rescue, or any other rescue service on your behalf. The Service may not work without cellular or satellite signal, with a depleted battery, or when your device, the operating system, GPS, or any third party is unavailable. In an emergency, contact 911 (or your local equivalent) directly — by phone, satellite messenger, or other means independent of this app.

6. Your account and your content

Account

The Service is usable without an account. If you create one, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

Your content

You retain all rights you already hold in the waypoints, lines, photos, notes, ratings, and other content you create in the Service ("Your Content"). You grant Zombo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, back up, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate the Service for you. We don't claim ownership of Your Content and we don't use it to train models or sell it.

You represent and warrant that Your Content does not infringe anyone's rights and does not violate any law. You are solely responsible for Your Content.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law, agency regulations, or third-party rights.
Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or extract data from the Service except as expressly permitted by law that may not be waived.
Circumvent any access, rate, or security limit; interfere with other users; or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system.
Use the Service to harm or endanger any person, location, archaeological or cultural site, or wildlife.
Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or its data without our written consent.

We may suspend or terminate access for any user who violates these rules.

8. Third-party services and data

The Service uses third-party providers (including Mapbox, Supabase, Recreation.gov / RIDB, Open-Elevation, and Apple platform services). Your use of those services through the Service may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Zombo is not responsible for third-party services, their availability, accuracy, or content.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, name ("Campound"), and original content, is owned by Zombo or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use under these Terms. All other rights are reserved.

10. Disclaimers — “AS IS”

The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zombo, its affiliates, and its licensors disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranty arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or trade usage. Zombo does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, accurate, complete, or available at any particular time or location, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service or any data it provides is free of harmful components. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Zombo or through the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Zombo, its affiliates, officers, members, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the Service — whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Zombo has been informed of the possibility of such damages. The total aggregate liability of Zombo and the parties listed above for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid to Zombo for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) twenty United States dollars (US$20).

The disclaimers and limitations in Sections 10 and 11 are essential elements of the agreement between you and Zombo. The Service would not be provided to you without them. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, Zombo's liability will be limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Zombo, its affiliates, and its officers, members, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) your violation of any third-party right; or (e) any injury, illness, death, or property damage suffered by you or by any person traveling with you, related in any way to the use of the Service.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 — will survive.

14. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the Service from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree:

These Terms are between you and Zombo only — not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
Your license to use the Service is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules.
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. Any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Zombo's sole responsibility.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service, including product-liability claims, claims that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the Service or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Zombo (and not Apple) is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Disputes — arbitration, class-action waiver, governing law

Please read this section carefully. It requires you to resolve disputes with Zombo through binding individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in class actions.

Informal resolution first

Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by sending a written notice to privacy@campound.com describing the dispute and the relief you seek. We'll try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.

Binding arbitration

If we can't resolve the dispute informally, you and Zombo agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver

You and Zombo agree that each may bring claims only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.

Opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to privacy@campound.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email address you use with the Service, and a clear statement that you want to opt out.

Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the exclusive venue is the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

16. General

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, for signed-in users, notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Zombo regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
