Stay Safe Out There

Eyes up: Don’t look at or handle your iPhone while you’re moving, especially near traffic or on a bike. Voice guidance and haptics are there so you don’t have to.

The road comes first: Follow traffic rules, signs and local access rules, even where the route or the voice guidance says otherwise. No piece of art is worth a risk.

Guidance can be wrong: GPS can be inaccurate, and cues can come late, wrong or not at all, for example between tall buildings, under trees or with a low battery. Map data can be out of date.

Your safety is your responsibility: Decide for yourself whether a route suits you, your fitness, the weather and the light. In remote areas, tell someone your plans and bring what you need.

RouteSketcher is not a safety, medical or emergency device. By using the App, you accept responsibility for your own safety.

About These Terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Tonnoz Services (“RouteSketcher”, “we”, “us”) for the RouteSketcher app for iPhone, including its Share extension and Live Activity (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.

They add to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”), which covers your license to use the App. The website routesketcher.com has its own Terms of Service, which apply to your routesketcher.com account and to what you upload to it. How the App handles your data is explained in the App Privacy Policy.

Routes Are Suggestions Only

Every route you draw, snap, import or follow with RouteSketcher is a suggestion made from map data. It does not mean the route is legal, safe or open to you.

Review every route before you go. Check the whole route yourself before you run, ride or walk it, and make sure you are allowed on every road and path along it. Many roads don’t allow running, walking or cycling, such as motorways, expressways, some tunnels and bridges, and many busy main roads. Some paths are private or closed. Map data can be wrong or out of date, so a route can include roads where you are not allowed. Never use a road or path where your activity isn’t allowed, even if the route goes there: change the route or skip that part.

RouteSketcher declines any responsibility for injuries, accidents, fines or damage that happen because you used a road or path where running, walking or cycling isn’t allowed, or because you followed a route without reviewing it first, as far as the law allows. You use every route at your own risk.

Who Can Use the App

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you live in the European Union or European Economic Area and are under 16, you need a parent’s or guardian’s consent.

Free Features and RouteSketcher Pro

You don’t need an account to use the App. Your first GPS art route and the iCloud backup are free. Most other features, like following any route, drawing and importing routes, reels, GPX export and connecting your routesketcher.com account, need RouteSketcher Pro. The App shows what Pro includes and its current prices before you subscribe.

Subscriptions

RouteSketcher Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Prices are shown in the App in your currency, including applicable taxes, before you buy.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when your free trial ends.
Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
New subscribers may get a free trial (currently one week). If you don’t cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it becomes a paid subscription. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Manage or cancel your subscription in your iPhone’s Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel it.
Use Restore purchases in the App’s Settings to get Pro back on a new iPhone or after reinstalling, with the same Apple Account.
If a price changes, Apple tells you in advance, as the App Store rules require.
RouteSketcher Pro in the App and purchases on routesketcher.com are separate: one doesn’t unlock the other.

Refunds

Apple handles all App Store payments, so refunds go through Apple: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can’t issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves, but email us if something went wrong and we’ll help. Nothing in these terms limits the consumer rights you have by law, including your right of withdrawal in the EU.

Your Routes, Activities and Art

The routes you draw, the activities you record and the share cards, overlay images and reels you make are yours. They are stored on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and we don’t claim any rights to them.

The iCloud backup depends on Apple and on your iCloud storage, and we can’t recover data lost from your iPhone or your iCloud. Export anything you want to keep safe, for example your activities as GPX.

When you upload a route to routesketcher.com, it becomes a sketch in your account, covered by the website’s Terms of Service. It starts private. If you make it public, anyone can see it, including where it starts.

Discover shows sketches their creators chose to make public. You may follow them and use their shapes for your own activities. The creators keep their rights to them.

Reels can include music we provide. Share your reels as you made them, but don’t take the music, fonts or other assets out of the App for other uses.

Fair Use

The App is for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

Use the App in a way that breaks the law or puts you or others at risk
Copy, decompile, decrypt or reverse engineer the App, or extract its code, reel engine, renderers, designs, fonts, music or other assets, except where the law allows it regardless of these terms
Use the App, its code or its output to build a product or service that competes with RouteSketcher
Send automated or scripted requests to our services (such as Snap, Upload or Discover), use them from anything other than the App, or get around App Attest, request limits or other protections
Scrape or bulk download the public gallery
Upload routes, names or other content that is illegal, offensive or infringes someone else’s rights
Interfere with or overload our services

For business use, email [email protected] first.

Estimates, Not Measurements

Distances, times, pace, estimated durations and how much of the art you drew are estimates based on GPS and map data. They can be off. The App is not a medical device: talk to a doctor before starting a new kind of exercise if you’re unsure it’s right for you.

Third-Party Services and Map Data

The App uses Apple Maps and iCloud, routesketcher.com, road data from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License) and map tiles from OpenFreeMap for reels. It can also open directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps. Their own terms apply, and we’re not responsible for them.

Map data is made by volunteers and companies and can contain errors. Roads close, paths move and conditions change. Routes are provided as they are, without any promise that they are safe, legal, accessible or suitable for you.

Changes and Availability

We keep improving the App, so features may change, be added or be removed. Importing, Discover, Snap and your routesketcher.com connection need an internet connection and our servers, which can sometimes be unavailable. We work hard to keep everything running, but can’t promise the App will always be available or free of errors.

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

To the extent the law allows, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, for loss of data, or for injury, damage or loss that results from following a route or using the App. Our total liability to you is limited to what you paid for RouteSketcher Pro in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence, or your mandatory rights as a consumer.

Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Questions and claims about the App, including product liability, legal compliance and intellectual property claims, go to us. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Ending These Terms

You can stop at any time by deleting the App and cancelling your subscription. If you break these terms, we may block your access to our online services, such as Snap, Upload and the routesketcher.com connection. Sections that by their nature should continue, like the disclaimer and the limitation of liability, still apply after these terms end.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. We change the date at the top when we do, and announce significant changes in the App or on this page before they take effect. If you keep using the App after that, the new terms apply. If you don’t agree with them, stop using the App and cancel your subscription.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, and disputes go to the courts of the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can also bring a claim there. If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
