Please read these Terms of Use (collectively with the TREKRECORD Privacy Policy the "Terms of Use") fully and carefully before using the TREKRECORD application (the "App") and the services, features, content or applications offered by "TREKRECORD LTD" in connection with the App ("Company," "we", "us" or "our") (together with the App, the "Services"). These Terms of Use set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the App and the Services.
- Acceptance of Terms of Use.
- By signing up for, installing and/or using the App in any manner, you agree to these Terms of Use and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time through the App by us, each of which may be updated from time to time without notice to you.
- Certain of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us from time to time; your use of such Services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by this reference.
- These Terms of Use apply to all users of the Services, including, without limitation, users who are contributors of content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.
- Eligibility. You represent and warrant that you are an individual person at least 16 years of age. If you are under age 16, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. Further, the Services are offered only for your use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. You are not eligible for participation in the App if you violate any provision of these Terms of Use, as determined in our sole discretion.
- Registration. To sign up for the Services, we may require you to register for an account on the Services (an "Account"). You must provide accurate and complete information and keep your Account information updated. If you provide any information that is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Company has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Company may deny you access the App, areas requiring registration, and/or terminate your Account, at its sole discretion.
You shall not: (i) select or use as a username a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use as a username a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use, as a username, a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, and for keeping your Account password and login credentials secure. You may never use another person's user Account or registration information for the Services without permission. You must notify us immediately of any change in your eligibility to use the Services (including any changes to or revocation of any licenses from state authorities), breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. You should never publish, distribute or post login information for your Account. You shall have the ability to delete your Account, either directly or through a request made to one of our employees or affiliates.
You may establish, maintain, use and control only one Account. Each Account may only be owned, maintained, used and controlled by one individual. For avoidance of doubt, users shall not "co-own" accounts. In the event Company determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one Account, in addition to any other rights that Company may have, Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts.
- Definition. For purposes of these Terms of Use, the term "Content" includes, without limitation, information, data, text, photographs, videos, audio clips, written posts and comments, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services.

- User Content. In order for Trekrecord to provide the intended level of quality information on travelling and destinations, you must always observe the basic principles of Trekrecord, namely:
- Don't add countries that you've been to for less than 12 hours. Add a country if you have actually spent some time in it, not if you have just travelled through it to go to another country, or if you have just spent time in the airport waiting for a connecting flight;
- Don't upload photos from places you haven't been to;
- Don't upload photos you don't own;
- Don't write Treknotes - tips from places you haven't been to.
- In case a user reports the content of another user, we will review that content to see if it is offensive or inappropriate or content that does not meet the App's standards/terms and if deemed necesssary we will block the author of this content from using the App.
All Content added, created, uploaded, submitted, distributed, or posted to the Αpp by users (collectively "User Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such User Content.
