Terms of Use

Last updated: September 20, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of Camino.Today. They govern your access to and use of the Camino.Today mobile application (the "App"), the website at camino.today (the "Website"), and all related content, features, and services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, making a purchase, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, and you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. If you do not agree or you are under 18, do not use the Service.

Please read Sections 4 and 5 carefully. The Service is an informational aid for pilgrims. It is not a navigation, safety, or emergency device, and you use it at your own risk.

1. Service Operator

The Service is operated by Arkadii Broun, an individual, …("we", "us", "our"). Contact: ….

2. Eligibility

The Service is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service you confirm that this is the case. We may ask for proof of age and may terminate any account that belongs to a person under 18. You may not use the Service if you have previously been banned from it, or if using it is prohibited by the laws of your country.

3. What the Service Is

Camino.Today helps pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago with maps, route stages, progress tracking, weather forecasts, accommodation listings, group chats for each route (you are added to a route's chat when you select that route and may join the chats of other routes), and direct messages between users.

Parts of the Service are free. Access to the full set of routes and features requires a paid subscription or a valid promo code (see Section 11). We may change, add, or remove features, routes, and content at any time.

4. Accuracy of Information; No Professional Advice

Routes, maps, distances, elevation, stage boundaries, points of interest, weather forecasts, and accommodation details (including prices, availability, opening hours, contact details, and photos) are compiled from our own research, public sources, third-party providers, and user contributions. They may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or change without notice. Trails are re-routed, closed, or affected by weather and construction, and accommodations close, change prices, or fill up.

Nothing in the Service is official route guidance, a navigation instruction, a safety warning, or medical, legal, or travel advice. Always verify important information (distances, water sources, opening hours, availability) with official sources, local signage, and the accommodation itself before relying on it.

We are not a travel agency, booking platform, or intermediary. Any booking or payment you make with an accommodation, transport provider, or other third party is a contract between you and that party only. We are not responsible for their services, cancellations, refunds, or conduct.

5. Safety and Assumption of Risk

Walking or cycling the Camino involves inherent risks, including injury, illness, getting lost, extreme weather, traffic, wildlife, and remote areas without mobile coverage. You accept these risks and are solely responsible for your own safety, health, fitness, equipment, route choices, and decisions.

You agree that:

  • the Service does not replace your own judgment, official waymarking, paper or offline maps, local advice, or emergency services;
  • the App may be unavailable, slow, or wrong at any time because of connectivity, battery, device limitations, GPS inaccuracy, or errors in our data;
  • you will not rely on the Service as your only means of navigation or as a safety device;
  • in an emergency you will contact local emergency services (112 in the European Union) and not the Service;
  • you will follow local laws, trail rules, private-property boundaries, and instructions of authorities.

6. Location Permission

The App requires location permission from your operating system to function and uses your location while the App is in the foreground. Location data may be unavailable or inaccurate. Disabling location access will prevent most features from working. How location data is stored and who can see it is described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Accounts

You sign in with your Apple or Google account. You must provide accurate information and keep your sign-in credentials secure. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately at … if you suspect unauthorised use.

You may have only one account. You may not transfer or sell your account, or use another person's account.

8. Your Content

"Your Content" means anything you post, send, or submit through the Service, including chat messages, direct messages, profile information and photos, accommodation problem reports, and other feedback.

Ownership and licence. You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, distribute, moderate, and remove Your Content as needed to operate, improve, promote, and protect the Service. For accommodation problem reports and other feedback about listings, you also allow us to use the information to correct and update our data permanently, without attribution. The licence ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for content that other users have already copied or forwarded, and where retention is required by law.

Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content and confirm that you have all rights needed to post it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law. We do not endorse and are not responsible for Your Content or the content of other users.

Prohibited content and conduct. You must not, and must not help anyone else to:

  • harass, threaten, abuse, defame, stalk, or intimidate anyone, or post hate speech;
  • post sexual content, content involving minors, or content that promotes violence or self-harm;
  • impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • post content that infringes copyright, trademarks, privacy, or other rights of anyone;
  • share another person's personal data (including their location) without their permission;
  • send spam, advertising, scams, phishing, or fraudulent offers;
  • solicit money from other users or arrange transactions that circumvent the Service;
  • upload malware or attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the Service;
  • scrape, crawl, copy, or extract data (including routes, accommodation data, or user data) from the Service by automated means or for reuse elsewhere;
  • circumvent access restrictions, subscriptions, or promo-code limits;
  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms.

9. Interacting With Other Users

Group chats and direct messages connect you with other pilgrims whom we have not vetted. We do not verify identities, backgrounds, or intentions of users. Any contact, meeting, travel arrangement, shared accommodation, or transaction with another user is entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user, online or offline. Use common sense: do not share your exact location or plans with strangers, meet in public places, and use the in-app report and block features if anyone makes you uncomfortable.

10. Moderation, Reporting, and Enforcement

We may, but are not obliged to, monitor, review, filter, or moderate content. We may remove or restrict any content and suspend, limit, or terminate any account at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that these Terms, the law, or the rights or safety of others are being violated, or to protect the Service. We may use automated tools to detect prohibited content. Decisions are made at our discretion, and we are not required to give reasons or compensation.

You can report content or a user with the in-app report feature, block users in the App, or email …. We aim to review reports promptly and may act on them without contacting the reported user. Knowingly false reports are a violation of these Terms.

If you believe content in the Service infringes your intellectual property rights, email us with a description of the work, the location of the content, your contact details, and a statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them. We will remove infringing content and may terminate repeat infringers.

11. Subscriptions, Promo Codes, Free Access, and Donations

Free features. A limited part of the Service, including a limited number of route stages, is available free of charge. We may change what is included in the free tier at any time.

Subscriptions. Full access is sold as an auto-renewing subscription (currently annual) purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play ("Store"). Your subscription is a contract with the Store under its terms. The price is shown in the Store before purchase and may differ by country. Payment is charged to your Store account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Store account settings; deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled exclusively by the Store under its policies; we cannot issue refunds for Store purchases. If a subscription price increases, the Store will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before the increase takes effect.

Promo codes and promotional offers. We may offer codes or offers that unlock full access free of charge or at a discount for a limited time. Unless stated otherwise, promo codes are personal, non-transferable, may be used once per account, have no cash value, cannot be combined with other offers, and expire on the stated date or when we withdraw the promotion. Access granted by a promo code ends automatically at the end of its period and does not convert into a paid subscription unless you buy one. We may cancel access obtained by a code that was generated, obtained, or used in breach of these Terms or in a fraudulent manner. Promotional offers shown in the App may be shown to some users and not others at our discretion.

Donations. The App lets you make voluntary donations through in-app purchase to support the development of the Service. Donations are gifts: they do not unlock any features, do not entitle you to any goods or services, and are non-refundable except where the Store or applicable law provides otherwise.

Consumers in the European Union and United Kingdom. Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights. Where you have a right of withdrawal for digital content, it is exercised through the Store in accordance with its terms. By requesting immediate access to the subscription content you acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the content has been provided, to the extent permitted by law.

Taxes. Prices shown in the Store include applicable VAT or sales tax where the Store collects it. You are responsible for any other taxes that may apply.

12. Third-Party Services and Content

The Service relies on third parties, including the Apple App Store and Google Play, Apple and Google sign-in, Mapbox (maps), Microsoft (weather forecasts), Amazon Web Services (hosting), and push notification services. Their availability and accuracy are outside our control, and their use may be subject to their own terms. Map data is provided by Mapbox and its data sources, including OpenStreetMap contributors, under their respective licences. Weather forecasts are estimates and may be wrong. We are not responsible for any third-party service, content, or website linked from the Service.

13. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, logos, brand, route database, stage descriptions, accommodation database, texts, and photographs (other than Your Content and third-party content), is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, database, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the Store rules.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from any part of the Service, extract or reuse any substantial part of our databases, or remove any proprietary notices, except to the extent that applicable law expressly allows it despite this restriction.

Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you agree that we may use them without restriction or compensation.

14. App Store and Google Play Terms

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. The licence in Section 13 is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for maintenance and support of the App. To the extent any warranty applies and is not disclaimed, you may notify Apple of a failure to conform to it, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection or similar claims. If a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you downloaded the App from Google Play, you also agree to the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google LLC is not a party to these Terms and has no responsibility for the App.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that routes, maps, distances, weather, or accommodation information are accurate, complete, or current, that the Service will meet your needs, or that it will be available at any particular time or place.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we (and our licensors and providers) are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill, or opportunity, or for any personal injury, illness, death, property damage, or loss resulting from your use of or reliance on the Service, your journey, the conduct of other users, or any third party, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) EUR 10.

Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or your rights as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract. If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have statutory rights under the laws of your country of residence, and these Terms do not affect them.

17. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to Your Content, your use of the Service, your interactions with other users, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right. This does not apply to consumers to the extent that applicable law prohibits such an obligation.

18. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (Section 19). We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect users or the Service, or if we discontinue the Service. If we terminate your account without cause while you have an active paid subscription, your remedy is a refund of the unused portion through the Store, where available.

Sections 4, 5, 8 (licence to already-shared content), 13, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22 survive termination.

19. Account Deletion

You can delete your account directly in the App settings, or by emailing …. Deleting your account deletes everything linked to it, including your profile, location history, chat and direct messages, and reports, except for records we are legally required to keep or need to enforce a ban or handle an ongoing dispute, as described in the Privacy Policy. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Deleting your account does not cancel a Store subscription; cancel it in your Store account settings.

20. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at camino.today/terms and takes effect on the "Last updated" date shown above. If a change is material, we will give you reasonable notice in the App or by email before it takes effect. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Service and delete your account before they take effect; continued use after that date means you accept them. We may also change, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part of it at any time.

21. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of the Tel Aviv district shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

Consumers. If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another country whose law gives you mandatory protections, you also benefit from those protections and may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. We are not obliged to, and do not, take part in alternative dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

Informal resolution first. Before starting any legal proceedings, you agree to send us a written description of the dispute to … and to try in good faith to resolve it with us for at least 30 days.

Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of the Service or these Terms must be filed within one year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.

22. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and replace any prior agreements.
  • Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain in force.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor operator of the Service; we will notify you of any such assignment.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, strikes, failures of third-party services, networks, or app stores.
  • Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only; the English version prevails.
  • No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and us.
