1. Agreement and account eligibility
By creating an account or using WalkAtlas Ireland, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. You must provide accurate information, keep your email and account details up to date, and only create an account if you are at least 16 years old or otherwise old enough to use the service under the law that applies to you.
2. Email, sign-in, and account security
You are responsible for the account created with your email address, username, or linked sign-in provider. You agree to keep your password and account access secure, and you authorize WalkAtlas Ireland to send account emails such as verification messages, login notices, service updates, and other important account communications.
3. Location and mapping features
WalkAtlas Ireland may use location information from your device if you allow it. WalkAtlas Ireland may also use locations that you select on the map, upload with a walk, or enter by address, route point, start point, or other location field. Location features are provided for convenience only and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable, so you remain responsible for how you use any walk, route, map, or location information shown on the service.
4. Walks, maps, photos, and other submissions
If you upload or submit a walk, route, map, photo, review, caption, location, or other material, you confirm that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate another person's privacy, copyright, image rights, land access rights, or other legal rights. If your submission includes another person, private property, or another creator's work, you are responsible for obtaining any permission or consent that may be required.
5. Ownership of submitted walks and photos
By submitting any walk, route line, map contribution, uploaded photo, image, caption, review, or related material to WalkAtlas Ireland, you agree that the submission is provided for WalkAtlas Ireland's business and community use. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assign and transfer to WalkAtlas Ireland all right, title, and interest in that submitted material, including any intellectual property rights in the walk or photo, as soon as it is submitted.
If any part of that transfer is not legally effective in your jurisdiction, you grant WalkAtlas Ireland an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free right and license to host, copy, store, adapt, translate, edit, publish, distribute, display, create derivative works from, commercialize, and otherwise use that material in any media and for any purpose. You also agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive or not assert any moral rights in the submitted material. This means walks and uploaded photos may continue to be used by WalkAtlas Ireland even if your account is later closed or the original post is removed.
6. Acceptable use and safety
You must not use WalkAtlas Ireland to upload unlawful, abusive, misleading, infringing, dangerous, or harmful material. You must not impersonate another person, misuse another person's location, upload content you do not have rights to use, or rely on WalkAtlas Ireland as an emergency, navigation, safety, or land-access guarantee. Outdoor routes and map information can change quickly, so you are responsible for your own judgment and safety.
7. Removal, suspension, and moderation
WalkAtlas Ireland may review, remove, edit, refuse, or restrict content or accounts at any time where reasonably necessary for safety, moderation, suspected infringement, abuse prevention, legal compliance, product operations, or protection of the service. WalkAtlas Ireland may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms.
8. Changes to the service or terms
WalkAtlas Ireland may update the service and these terms from time to time. When material changes are made, the updated version may be posted with a new date. Continued use of WalkAtlas Ireland after the updated terms take effect means you accept the updated terms.
