Terms of Service

Acceptance of terms

By using Trailbound Journal, you agree to these terms of service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Trailbound Journal is published by Guangmei Technology Co., Ltd.

Informational purposes

All content on this site — route reports, destination guides, gear notes and journal essays — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. We are a magazine, not a guide service, tour operator or equipment retailer, and nothing here constitutes an offer to provide services.

No liability for trail conditions

Trail conditions, weather, prices, opening hours and regulations change constantly, and our articles reflect what we found at the time of writing. You are responsible for verifying current conditions with official local authorities, carrying appropriate safety equipment, and making your own judgments about risk. We are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from the use of information on this site.

Intellectual property

The text and images on Trailbound Journal are our own work and are protected by copyright. You may share links to our pages and quote short passages with attribution. Reproducing articles or images in full, for any purpose, requires our written permission.

No professional advice

Nothing on this site should be treated as professional mountaineering, medical or legal advice. Our gear notes describe what works for us; they are not a substitute for your own testing or for guidance from qualified instructors.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when we publish them on this page, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
