The ground rules.

Using Pagdandi

Pagdandi is a free walking companion for fun and motivation. Treks, landmarks, groups and challenges are virtual: walking in Pagdandi doesn't mean you are on the real trail, and nothing in the app is navigation, route-finding or safety information. You may use Pagdandi for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Health and safety

Pagdandi is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. Step counts and distances come from your phone or wearable and may be inaccurate. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, listen to your body, and walk only where it's safe. Don't use the app in ways that put you or others at risk — for example while crossing roads.

Your account

• You must be 18 or older to create an account.
• Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for activity on your account.
• Choose a username and display name that aren't offensive, misleading or someone else's.
• You can delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or misuse the service.

Groups, challenges and cheers

Be kind to the people you walk with. Don't use group or challenge names, display names or invite codes to harass, spam or impersonate anyone. Step counts are self-reported by your devices and can't be verified, so challenges are for fun: there are no prizes, and we may remove obviously wrong numbers. Group owners and challenge creators can remove members.

What group-mates and challenge participants can see is described in our privacy policy.

Connected services

Apple Health, Health Connect and WHOOP are provided by third parties under their own terms. Connecting them is optional, and you can disconnect at any time. We aren't responsible for their availability or the accuracy of the data they provide.

Our content

The artwork, companions, writing, design and code in Pagdandi belong to us. Trail routes use map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. Landmark facts are given in good faith and may contain mistakes — tell us and we'll fix them. Postcards you share are yours to share for personal use.

Availability and changes

We work to keep Pagdandi running, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We may add, change or remove features. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before the change takes effect; continuing to use Pagdandi after that means you accept the new terms.

Liability

Pagdandi is provided "as is", free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, for injury arising from physical activity, or for loss of data, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to ₹1,000. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
