Effective Date: April 27, 2026

Last Updated: May 17, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ADVGuide mobile application, website (ADVGuide.us), digital tours, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you will comply with all applicable laws, including traffic, safety, and land-use regulations.

2. Overview of the Services

ADVGuide provides location-aware, geofenced audio tours for motorcycle riders and other outdoor users. Tours are purchased through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and delivered through the ADVGuide mobile application.

The Services are provided for personal, non-commercial use only.

3. Acceptance of Terms & Updates

By using the Services, you accept these Terms. We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

4. Safety, Riding Risk & User Responsibility

4.1 Inherent Risk of Motorcycle Riding

Riding a motorcycle is inherently dangerous and involves significant risk of injury, death, and property damage. By using ADVGuide, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

ADVGuide does not and cannot eliminate or mitigate the risks associated with motorcycle riding.

4.2 Distraction Risk

ADVGuide provides audio content that may divert attention. You are solely responsible for maintaining full awareness of your surroundings and for operating your motorcycle safely at all times.

You must comply with all applicable distracted-driving and hands-free laws.

4.3 Not a Navigation App

ADVGuide is not a turn-by-turn navigation system. It provides informational audio content, not real-time routing or navigational instructions.

You must not rely on ADVGuide for navigation decisions.

4.4 Environmental Hazards

ADVGuide does not provide warnings or updates regarding:

  • Weather
  • Fire conditions
  • Flooding
  • Wildlife
  • Road closures
  • Seasonal hazards

You are responsible for independently verifying environmental conditions.

4.5 Route Conditions & Accuracy

Route information may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsafe. Conditions may change without notice.

You are solely responsible for evaluating terrain, conditions, closures, and hazards.

4.6 Trespass & Land Access

You must obey all posted signs, respect private property, and comply with land-use restrictions. ADVGuide is not responsible for land closures or access limitations.

By using the Services, you agree that you assume all risks associated with:

  • Riding a motorcycle
  • Environmental hazards
  • GPS errors
  • Route inaccuracies
  • Device distraction
  • Your own decisions and actions

ADVGuide is not responsible for any consequences arising from your use of the Services.

5. Location Services & GPS Limitations

ADVGuide uses precise location data, including background location during active tours, to trigger geofenced audio.

GPS accuracy varies by device, terrain, weather, and signal conditions. Geofence triggers may not fire reliably, and poor reception may impact tour performance.

You are responsible for ensuring your device is functional, charged, and safely mounted.

6. User Accounts (Future Website Features)

When ADVGuide.us supports user accounts, you may be required to provide accurate, current information. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts for misuse or violation of these Terms.

You may not:

  • Copy, distribute, or create derivative works of ADVGuide content
