Terms of Use

Hiking is dangerous — you are responsible for you

Everything on this site is general information, not professional guiding, instruction, or advice. Hiking, scrambling, and travel in Iceland's backcountry are inherently hazardous: weather changes violently and fast, terrain erodes, rivers rise, snow lingers, paths vanish, and conditions described here may be entirely different — or gone — when you arrive. Route descriptions, maps, GPS tracks, times, and difficulty ratings reflect one party's experience on one day. They may contain errors and are no substitute for your own preparation, equipment, navigation, and judgment.

By using any information from this site, you accept full responsibility for your own safety and assume all risks of injury, death, or loss. Check current conditions and alerts (for Iceland: safetravel.is and vedur.is), tell someone your plan, and turn back when in doubt.

No warranty

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or availability.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Inseris LLC and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages — including personal injury, death, property damage, or rescue costs — arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid to use the site (currently: nothing).

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, nothing here deprives you of the protections of the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

Content and ownership

All text, photography, and maps are © Inseris LLC unless noted (terrain data attribution appears beneath each map). You may link to and quote briefly from the site with attribution; republishing full routes or photo sets requires permission. Route descriptions, maps, photographs, and any downloadable files (such as GPX tracks) are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use only — you may not republish, redistribute, or sell them, in whole or in part, without our written permission.

Third-party links

Links to external sites (weather, safety, transport) are provided for convenience; we don't control them and aren't responsible for their content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and where applicable law grants it you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above reflects the current version. Continued use after changes means acceptance. Questions: [email protected].
