Terms of Service: Wildland Atlas

1. Acceptance of Terms & Apple Standard EULA Acknowledgement

By downloading, accessing, or using Wildland: Nature & Atlas ("Wildland", "Wildland Atlas", "the Licensed Application"), you ("End-User") agree to be bound by this End-User License Agreement ("EULA") and Terms of Service, concluded between you and Robert Zerby ("Developer", "Licensor") only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and the content thereof. Your use of the Licensed Application is also subject to the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

        Open Architecture Standard: Wildland is engineered as an offline-first wilderness instrument prioritizing traveler autonomy, local device execution, and zero remote tracking.
      

2. Wilderness Navigation & Liability Disclaimer

Wildland provides topographical maps, route geometries, elevation profiles, celestial ephemeris calculations, and public land cadastral boundaries. However, backcountry exploration carries inherent physical risks.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Backcountry navigation requires active situational awareness, physical preparation, and sound human judgment. Electronic devices can experience battery depletion, cold-weather shutdown, physical damage, satellite multipath signal degradation, or hardware failure.

No Replacement for Situational Awareness: Wildland is a digital navigational aid and does NOT replace personal responsibility, physical preparedness, paper quadrangle maps, compass navigation proficiency, or official ranger instructions.
Dynamic Natural Conditions: Trail conditions, bridge washouts, rockslides, river crossings, wildfire perimeters, snowpack levels, and wildlife encounters can change without notice. You are solely responsible for evaluating your physical fitness, terrain hazards, and weather forecasts before embarking on any trek.
Assumption of Risk: You explicitly acknowledge and agree that your participation in outdoor, backcountry, and wilderness activities is voluntary and undertaken entirely at your own risk.
