Terms of Service
Last updated: July 22, 2026
DRAFT — pending legal review
This document is under review by our counsel. The factual descriptions of what data we collect and how the service works are accurate today; sections marked [LAWYER] are placeholders for reviewed legal language.
1. Agreement
These terms govern your use of the AvAI™ mobile app and the rmdig web portal, operated by Rocky Mountain Digerati LLC("rmdig", "we").
[LAWYER]
Binding acceptance clause (assent mechanics, minimum age, authority to accept on behalf of an organization). Counsel to supply.
2. What AvAI is — and is not
AvAI is a safety companion app: you schedule a check-in before a backcountry trip, and if you don't check in on time, our servers alert your emergency contact with your last-known location. Checking out requires cell or internet signal.
AvAI is in beta. Do not rely on it as your only safety system. The check-out/check-in feature is being tested for reliability — bring a satellite communicator or radio for any backcountry trip.
AvAI is operated by a small team and may have outages of hours or days. It is not an emergency service, does not contact 911 or rescue services on your behalf, and must not be your only safety system. Carry a second safety plan — partner check-ins, a satellite messenger, a filed trip plan, formal training.
[LAWYER]
Assumption-of-risk and no-reliance clause for backcountry activity, consistent with the beta disclosure above. Counsel to supply.
3. Your account and responsibilities
Keep your credentials secure and your emergency-contact details accurate — the alert path is only as good as the contact information you give it. You are responsible for having your emergency contact's permission to share their details with us, and for telling them what an AvAI alert means.
[LAWYER]
Account terms: acceptable use, prohibited conduct, suspension and termination rights. Counsel to supply.
4. Your content
Photos you capture with AvAI stay on your device at this stage of the beta. A future dataset-contribution feature, if launched, will have its own explicit consent flow and terms.
[LAWYER]
User-content license terms (scope of license for any future contributed content; CC-BY-4.0 dataset mechanics per AvApp doc 19 when that feature ships). Counsel to supply.
5. Privacy
How we handle your data is described in the Privacy Policy, including how to request deletion of your data.
6. Disclaimers, liability, disputes
[LAWYER]
Warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law (Colorado) and venue, dispute-resolution terms. Counsel to supply — these are the core operative clauses of the lawyer engagement and will not be drafted in-house.
7. Changes
We may update these terms; we will post changes here and update the date above, and notify you in the app of material changes before they take effect.
