Welcome to CreekBite ("CreekBite," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using the CreekBite application at creekbite.com or creekbite.app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
CreekBite is a fishing conditions and waterway navigation application that provides creek conditions data, bite score predictions, float planning tools, GPS trip tracking, waterway access information, and related features for wade and kayak anglers. CreekBite is an informational tool only and is not a safety or emergency navigation system.
CreekBite provides informational data only. All decisions regarding whether to enter, wade, float, or navigate any waterway are solely your responsibility. By using CreekBite you acknowledge and accept full responsibility for your personal safety and the safety of any persons in your party.
You agree that CreekBite:
Waterway conditions change rapidly and without warning. CFS readings, water levels, access conditions, hazard locations, and float estimates provided by CreekBite may be delayed, inaccurate, or incomplete. Always verify conditions independently before entering any waterway.
You must independently assess and verify conditions before any trip. Do not rely solely on CreekBite data when determining whether conditions are safe.
Access point information provided by CreekBite, including bridge access points, boat ramps, fords, and community-submitted access data, may be outdated, inaccurate, or incomplete. Public and private access status can change at any time.
CreekBite uses your device's GPS and location services for features including nearby gauge detection, trip tracking, float progress, and waterway navigation. Location access is optional but required for certain features.
CreekBite allows users to download float packages for offline use, including map tiles, route data, and waterway information. You acknowledge that:
You must create a free account to use certain features. You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use at creekbite@gmail.com.
You agree not to use CreekBite to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) trespass on private property; (c) post false, misleading, or harmful content including inaccurate access point data; (d) attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or copy the application; (e) interfere with the proper operation of the service; (f) submit access confirmations or trip data for locations you have not personally visited.
Users selected for the CreekBite Field Tester program agree to provide honest, accurate feedback and data submissions. Field testers acknowledge they are using pre-release beta software that may contain bugs, inaccurate data, or incomplete features. CreekBite reserves the right to modify or discontinue the field tester program at any time.
By submitting content (access confirmations, wading ratings, trip data, photos) to CreekBite, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that content to operate and improve the service. You retain ownership of your content. You represent that your submissions are accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the service is to discontinue use.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CreekBite and its owner from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the application, your violation of these Terms, or your outdoor activities in connection with use of CreekBite.
