Terms of Service
Effective date: 1 June 2026 · Last updated: 1 June 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of theCaminantes mobile application (the "App"), operated byAFK Ventures ("we", "us", "our"), a business based in Denmark. Caminantes is published on Google Play under the developer name "Caminantes Project". By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Caminantes is a planning and tracking aid only. It isnot a substitute for official trail signage, maps, local advice, or your own judgment. Routes, distances, elevations, points of interest, opening details, contact information, and weather may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.Never rely on the App alone for navigation or safety.Walking long-distance routes carries inherent risks, which you assume yourself.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital-consent age in your country) to use the App. By using it, you confirm you meet this requirement.
2. Licence to use the App
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
3. No warranty: the App and its data are provided "as is"
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and all content within it, including routes, stages, distances, elevation figures, points of interest, accommodation, contact details, and weather information, are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data is correct or current.
4. Navigation, accuracy and assumption of risk
- The App is a supplementary aid. Trail conditions, waymarking, distances, and facilities change; data may be wrong or outdated.
- You are solely responsible for your own route choices, navigation, safety, physical fitness, equipment, and decisions in the field.
- Always follow official waymarking and local guidance, carry appropriate maps and supplies, check conditions, and know your limits.
- Walking the Camino and similar routes involvesinherent risks (terrain, weather, exertion, injury, becoming lost). You voluntarily assume these risks.
5. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AFK Ventures and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss, injury, getting lost, property damage, or other harm, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App or your reliance on any data it provides, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum permitted by law.
6. User-generated content
The App lets you submit content about points of interest (such as information, photos, and a venue's public contact details) ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for the content you submit, and you represent that:
- you have the right to submit it and to grant us the licence below;
- it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and not misleading;
- it does not infringe anyone's rights, is not unlawful, hateful, harassing, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, and does not contain private personal data of other people (submit only a venue's official, public contact details, never a private individual's).
By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable licence to use, store, host, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, publicly display, and distribute your User Content, in any media now known or later developed, for any purpose connected with our business, including operating, improving, andpromoting the App and our services (for example, in marketing materials and printed or digital guides). This licence continues with respect to content you have already submitted even if you later stop using the App. Submitted content isreviewed before it is published; we may decline, edit, or remove any content at our sole discretion. We do not guarantee the accuracy of User Content and are not liable for it.
We may also create, use, andcommercialise aggregated and/or anonymised data derived from the App and from User Content (for example, compiled points-of-interest and route information) that does not identify any individual. We do not sell your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
7. Reporting and moderation
You can report content you believe violates these Terms using the in-app report option. We review reports and may remove content and take action against accounts as described below. We are not obligated to monitor User Content but reserve the right to do so.
8. Acceptable use: prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- break the law or these Terms, or infringe others' rights;
- submit objectionable, infringing, or false content;
- attempt to disrupt, overload, or exploit the App or its backend, including automated or excessive requests, scraping, or abusing reads/writes;
- reverse-engineer, tamper with, or circumvent security or app-attestation measures;
- access the App by any means other than the official published application.
9. Suspension and termination
We may, at our sole discretion and without notice,suspend, ban, or terminate your account or access, and remove content, if we believe you have violated these Terms, abused or exploited the service, or created risk or cost to us or other users. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (see our Privacy Policy for deletion).
10. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services including Google Firebase (accounts, database, storage), Mapbox (maps and search), and Open-Meteo (weather). Their content and availability are outside our control and are subject to their own terms; we are not responsible for them.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless AFK Ventures and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the App, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Formaterial changes, we will give youat least 30 days' advance notice before they take effect, by in-app notice and/or email, and update the "Last updated" date above. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the App and may delete your account. Continued use of the App after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Dispute resolution
Nothing in this section affects the mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of your country of residence. In particular, if you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or the UK, you keep the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your home country, and this section does not apply to you to the extent it would override those rights.
If you are a resident of the United States, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) any dispute or claim relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved bybinding individual arbitration rather than in court (except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court); and (b) you and wewaive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the remainder of this section still applies to the extent permitted.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Denmark, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence.
