1. About the App
The Wainwright Companion is a mobile application for tracking completion of the 214 Wainwright fells in the English Lake District. These terms govern your use of the app and its features.
2. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the app and its social features responsibly. You must not:
- Share offensive, abusive, or illegal content through social features
- Impersonate other users or misrepresent your identity
- Attempt to interfere with the app’s services or other users’ data
- Use the app for any purpose other than its intended fell-walking and tracking functionality
3. Safety & Liability
Weather and navigation data are provided for informational purposes only. They should not be relied upon as your sole source of safety information when walking in the fells.
You are responsible for your own safety on the hills.
Always:
- Remain on marked trails and respect landowners
- Check the forecast conditions before setting out
- Carry appropriate equipment, maps, and navigation tools
- Tell someone your route and expected return time
- Turn back if conditions deteriorate
- Follow the Countryside Code
Weather data is provided by the Met Office and Open-Meteo and may not reflect actual summit conditions. GPS accuracy varies and the app may lose signal in remote areas. Route information is computer-generated and cannot account for all terrain hazards, path closures, or seasonal conditions.
The app is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any loss, injury, or damage arising from use of the app, its navigation features, or its weather data.
4. User Content
You retain ownership of all content you create in the app, including notes, photos, and completion records.
By sharing completions publicly through the app’s social features, you grant a limited, non-exclusive licence to display that content within the app to other users. You can revoke this by unsharing individual completions or disabling social sharing in Settings.
5. iCloud & Data
The app uses Apple iCloud (CloudKit) to sync your data across devices and to power social features. Your use of iCloud is subject to Apple’s own terms of service.
We are not responsible for data loss due to iCloud service interruptions or account issues. We recommend keeping your iCloud account in good standing.
6. Account Deletion
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time using the Delete Account option in Settings. This action is permanent and removes your data from both your device and iCloud.
7. Termination
We reserve the right to remove accounts or content that violate these terms, or to suspend access to social features for users who misuse them.
8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
9. Governing Law
This licence is governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a resident of the European Union, European Economic Area, or Switzerland, the law of your usual place of residence applies to any dispute arising from this licence, and any such dispute shall be subject to the courts of that place of residence..
