Terms of Service

FlockTrot — Effective date: August 3, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the FlockTrot mobile application ("FlockTrot," "the app," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using FlockTrot, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Description of the service

FlockTrot is a group trip-planning app for camping and outdoor trips. It lets you create trips, organize groups, share itineraries, track supplies and gear, coordinate campsite logistics, and split trip expenses with people you invite.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be able to form a legally binding contract to use FlockTrot. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use FlockTrot with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
• You sign in using your Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of that account.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and the content you add to trips and groups.

3. Shared and group content

FlockTrot is built around sharing information with other people on your trip. When you create or join a trip or group:

• Content you add (itinerary events, supplies, expenses, campsite details, photos) becomes visible to other members of that trip or group.
• Invite links you generate grant access to whoever holds the link — treat them like you would any shared access credential, and only share them with people you intend to invite.
• By default, invited members can edit trip content ("write" access). You are responsible for who you invite.
• You should not upload or share content that is illegal, infringing, harassing, or that you do not have the right to share.

4. Free trips and payments

• FlockTrot currently allows a limited number of free trips per account. Beyond that, we may introduce paid features in the future.
• Any future payment processing will be handled through Google Play Billing, in accordance with Google Play's policies, and these Terms will be updated accordingly before charges begin.
• Certain accounts may be designated with unlimited access at our discretion.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use FlockTrot for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts, trips, or groups
• Interfere with or disrupt the app's functioning or servers
• Upload malicious code or attempt to reverse-engineer the app beyond what's permitted by applicable law
• Use the app to harass, abuse, or harm another person

6. Intellectual property

FlockTrot's name, logo, and app design are owned by us. You retain ownership of the content you create (trip details, photos, notes), but you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display that content as necessary to operate the app and share it with the trip/group members you've included.

7. Termination

You may stop using FlockTrot and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in abusive behavior, or pose a security risk to the app or other users.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

FlockTrot is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that trip/expense calculations will be free from mistakes — always double-check important logistics (campsite reservations, payment amounts, etc.) independently.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FlockTrot and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including but not limited to disputes between trip members over expenses, missed reservations, or lost trip data.

10. Changes to the app and these Terms

We may modify or discontinue features of FlockTrot at any time. We may also update these Terms; continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of FlockTrot will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California.
