These terms govern your use of Bagtrail. By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
You must be at least 13 years old. If you create an account, you're responsible for activity under it and for keeping your login secure.
You keep ownership of the packs, lists, and gear entries you create. By publishing a pack or submitting gear to the catalog, you grant Bagtrail a non-exclusive license to display and distribute that content within the service. You're responsible for what you submit and for having the right to submit it.
The catalog is only useful if its data is trustworthy — real hikers plan real trips with it. When you submit or edit gear, you agree to make weights, prices, and specs as accurate as you reasonably can, matching the manufacturer's published figures.
To protect data quality we may: run an automated check on submissions, limit how many items you can submit per day, let the community report inaccurate entries, hide or remove content, and suspend the submission privileges of accounts that repeatedly post false, misleading, or low-quality data. Deliberately submitting bad data is a violation of these terms.
Don't misuse the service: no spam, scraping, automated abuse, harassment, attempts to break or overload the site, or posting unlawful or infringing content.
Weights, prices, dimensions, images, compatibility warnings, and planner estimates are community-sourced and representative. They may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Always verify specs with the manufacturer before you buy, and use your own judgment for any backcountry decision. Bagtrail is a planning aid, not safety equipment or professional advice, and we are not responsible for choices made in reliance on it.
Gear listings may link to manufacturer or retailer sites, which have their own terms and policies. We don't control and aren't responsible for those sites. Some outbound links may become affiliate links in the future.
The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Bagtrail is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.
We may suspend or terminate access that violates these terms. You can stop using Bagtrail at any time and ask us to delete your account.
We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
