Terms of Service Overview

Below is the current Terms of Service for the Adventure Mentor LLC Platform, which means any website, application, or service we offer. The Terms of Service is our legally binding agreement. The Terms of Service sets out your relationship with Adventure Mentor LLC and your legal rights and covers areas such as limitations of liability, resolution of disputes by mandatory arbitration rather than a judge or jury in a court of law, and a class action waiver. While we try to keep this as simple as we can, it is necessary for our mutual understanding of the relationship and to maximize you obtaining the most benefit of your use of our service. 

​

Your Relationship with Adventure Mentor

• By using the Adventure Mentor Platform, you are agreeing to our Terms of Service. The Terms of Service are a legally binding agreement between you and Adventure Mentor.

• You acknowledge that use of the Adventure Mentor Platform creates no employee/employer relationship, nor agent principal relationship between Adventure Mentor and anyone, you or third parties who you may be introduced to through the Platform. You and all other persons using the Adventure Mentor Platform are independent persons from Adventure Mentor. 

• If you break the rules, we may suspend or terminate your account.

 

The Real World

• Using Adventure Mentor involves collaboration with real people and engaging in online and offline interactions and activities, which can sometimes lead to unexpected situations.

Ultimately it is your responsibility to use common sense and good judgment when interacting with others or engaging in any facilitated interactions or activities through the Adventure Mentor Platform.

• Many of the activities which you choose to engage in involve risk, which can sometimes lead to injury or even death. We are not responsible for your participation in any of these activities nor any injuries, damage, or other harms that you or others may sustain as a result of such participation. You should use common sense and good judgment when deciding to participate in any activity or event, and be mindful of your level of skill and experience in the activity, what gear or equipment to use for these activities, and who to participate with to do these activities.
