These are the terms of using Amble. They're short. By installing or using the app, you agree to them.
Amble suggests walking routes and tracks the walks you take. It's a tool to help you find a nice walk. It is not a navigation system, not a safety device, and not a substitute for paying attention to where you are.
Walking routes that Amble suggests are computed from public OpenStreetMap data, which is mapped by volunteers and is not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date. Streets, paths, and crossings change. Amble does its best to prefer safe, walkable paths, but:
You take responsibility for your own walk.
You can:
You can't:
The walks, photos, and ratings you create in Amble are yours. We don't claim any ownership or licence over them. You can export them at any time via GPX export or by deleting the app (which removes our local copy and, if you're signed in, our cloud copy too within 30 days).
This is the most important section of these terms, so it's in plain words.
Walking and hiking carry inherent risks. Uneven ground, traffic, weather, water, livestock, other people, and your own health can all cause injury or worse. Those risks exist whether or not you use Amble. By using Amble you accept them and take responsibility for your own safety and for anyone in your care, including children and dogs.
Amble suggests routes calculated by software from OpenStreetMap, a map edited by volunteers. Nobody at Amble walks or inspects a route before you see it. A path shown in the app may be closed, fenced, flooded, overgrown, on private land, unlit, unsafe, or simply no longer there. Surfaces, gradients, steps, stiles, gates and crossings may be missing or wrong in the underlying data.
Routes may not be accessible. Amble cannot reliably tell whether a route is suitable for wheelchairs, buggies, or anyone with limited mobility. Check the route preview yourself before setting out.
Amble is not a safety or emergency device. Don't rely on it for navigation in remote terrain, in poor visibility, or in an emergency. Carry a map, a charged phone, and tell someone where you're going. In an emergency call your local emergency number (999 in the UK, 112 across the EU, 911 in the US).
You are responsible for deciding whether a route is safe and suitable for you, at the time you walk it. If what you see in front of you differs from what's on the screen, believe your eyes. Please read Walking safely with Amble before your first walk.
Amble is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. In particular we don't promise that:
Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors and is licensed under the Open Database Licence. We don't control it and we can't guarantee it's correct or current.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:
Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:
Where we are liable, our total liability to you for all claims connected with Amble is limited to the greater of £100 (or the equivalent in your local currency) or the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
These terms do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. In the UK those come from the Consumer Rights Act 2015; in the EEA, from national implementations of EU consumer law; elsewhere, from your own local law. Wherever you live, rights that cannot lawfully be signed away are unaffected by anything here. If any part of this section is found to be unenforceable, the rest of it still applies.
If you use Amble in a way that breaks these terms or the law and that causes us loss or a claim from someone else, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of dealing with it.
These terms can change. If they change in a way that affects you, the next time you open the app you'll see a brief notice. Continued use after that counts as accepting the new terms.
You can stop using Amble at any time by deleting it from your phone. If you're signed in, you can delete your account from the Profile tab. If you want us to wipe any cloud-stored data we hold, email support@amble.fit and we'll do it within 30 days.
If something's wrong, email support@amble.fit. We'll respond within a few working days.
If we can't sort it out, these terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes may be brought in the English courts.
If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of your home country's law. Consumer law in many countries — including across the EEA — gives you the right to rely on the mandatory protections of the place you live, and to bring a claim in your local courts. Nothing here changes that.
If you are in the EU, you can also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.
