# SafeWalk Terms of Service
Last updated: April 14, 2026
## 1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using SafeWalk, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the application.
## 2. Description of Service
SafeWalk provides walking route suggestions that incorporate historical public safety data and statistical risk models. The service is designed to present information that may be useful in route planning. SafeWalk does not provide real-time safety monitoring, emergency services, or personal security.
## 3. No Guarantee of Safety
Route suggestions are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of personal safety. Routes are generated from historical data that may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Conditions along any route can change at any time due to factors beyond our knowledge or control. SafeWalk is not a substitute for personal judgment, situational awareness, or common sense. You are solely responsible for your own safety while walking.
## 4. Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that walking in any environment carries inherent risks. By using SafeWalk, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with your travel, including risks that a suggested route may not account for. You agree that you will not rely solely on SafeWalk when making decisions about your personal safety.
## 5. Disclaimer of Warranties
SafeWalk is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any route suggestion will be safe, accurate, or suitable for any purpose.
## 6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Quinn Arnold and SafeWalk shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the service. In no event shall total liability exceed the amount you paid for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based.
## 7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Quinn Arnold and SafeWalk from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
## 8. Data and Privacy
SafeWalk does not collect or store personal location data. Route safety analysis is derived entirely from publicly available city datasets. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
## 9. Third-Party Services
SafeWalk incorporates data and services from third parties including OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and municipal open data portals. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or availability of third-party data or services.
## 10. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or your use of SafeWalk shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
## 11. Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of SafeWalk after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
