Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Cya Outdoors mobile application (the "App"). These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Crown Your Adventure ("Crown Your Adventure", "we", "us"), governing your access to and use of the App and all related Services.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App; users 13-18 must have parental or guardian consent. To use most features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate registration information, keep your credentials confidential, accept responsibility for activity under your account, and notify us at info@cyaoutdoors.ca of any suspected unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information or violate these Terms.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on a device you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the App; reverse engineer or decompile it; use it commercially without our written consent; overburden or impair our servers; scrape it with bots; or remove proprietary notices.
Cya Outdoors offers optional Pro subscriptions (currently priced at $15.99 CAD/year or $2.99 CAD/month, subject to change) that unlock additional activities and features, purchased and billed entirely through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and subject to those platforms' terms.
The App assists with outdoor recreation — hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, off-roading, and camping — in Alberta and British Columbia. You acknowledge and agree that:
We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of maps, regulations, or other content. Map data may not reflect real-time conditions, recent boundary changes, closures, or hazards. GPS accuracy depends on your device and signal; do not rely solely on the App for navigation in remote or hazardous environments. Regulation documents are provided for convenience — always consult the official provincial source for authoritative information. Trail and route information may not reflect current conditions or seasonal access restrictions.
YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RELIANCE ON THE APP'S CONTENT FOR OUTDOOR NAVIGATION AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.
The App includes Social features — friends/buddies, direct messaging, and sharing of photos, waypoints, and trip tracks — and, when you are out of signal range, an offline mesh relay that can deliver messages between nearby devices running the App over Bluetooth/local wireless, without internet access.
We may investigate and take action, including account suspension, in response to abuse of Social or mesh relay features.
Where available to your account, the SOS Beacon lets you broadcast your location to registered Buddies during an emergency. It is a communication aid, not a substitute for calling emergency services (911 or your local equivalent) and is not guaranteed to be delivered or received in time — cellular, Bluetooth, and GPS availability can all fail. You remain solely responsible for your own safety decisions.
You agree not to use the App to violate any law; infringe our or a third party's intellectual property; harass, threaten, or harm any person; transmit malware or harmful code; interfere with the App's infrastructure; or attempt unauthorized access to any part of the App or its systems. We may investigate and take action, including account termination, for any violation.
All content within the App — including the Cya Outdoors name and logo, maps, graphics, interface design, software, and original text — is owned by or licensed to Crown Your Adventure and protected by Canadian and international IP law. Government-issued regulation documents reproduced in the App remain the property of the issuing authority. You may not use our name, logo, or branding without written consent.
Your use of the App is governed by our Privacy Policy, available in the App and at cyaoutdoors.ca/privacy, incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App you consent to the practices it describes.
The App integrates third-party services including Firebase, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, and Google ML Kit. These are governed by their own terms and privacy policies; we are not responsible for their content, practices, or availability, and their inclusion does not imply our endorsement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; THAT ITS CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; THAT IT IS SUITABLE FOR SAFETY-CRITICAL USE OR AS A PRIMARY NAVIGATION OR EMERGENCY-COMMUNICATION TOOL; OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties; in those, the above applies only to the extent the law permits.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CROWN YOUR ADVENTURE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL; PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH ARISING FROM USE OF THE APP OR PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES; ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN MAPS, REGULATIONS, OR OTHER CONTENT; A MISSED, DELAYED, OR UNDELIVERED SOS ALERT OR SOCIAL MESSAGE; OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA.
Our total cumulative liability for all claims relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) CAD $50.00. This applies regardless of legal theory. Some jurisdictions do not permit such limits; there, our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law allows.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Crown Your Adventure and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, any outdoor activity you engage in, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time, with or without notice, and are not liable for doing so. We may update these Terms at any time; material changes are announced in the App or by email, and continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause; provisions that by their nature should survive termination (IP, warranty disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification) continue to apply. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting info@cyaoutdoors.ca.
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Disputes will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation; if unresolved within 30 days, they will be submitted to binding arbitration in British Columbia, Canada, unless both parties agree otherwise in writing. Either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for intellectual property matters or imminent harm. You agree to bring claims only in your individual capacity, not as part of a class or representative proceeding.
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and us only, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or warranty for the App — that responsibility is ours alone. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple for a possible refund of the purchase price; Apple has no further warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the App, including product liability, consumer protection, or IP infringement claims. 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, your use is also subject to Google Play's Terms of Service; in a conflict, Google Play's terms govern your relationship with Google. We, not Google, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of it, and waiving one breach does not waive future breaches.
