and password. You agree to provide accurate, truthful, and complete information and to promptly update it if it

changes.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for all activity that

to circumvent restrictions, obtain additional Membership benefits, or manipulate Community Features is a

5. The Platform and Access Tiers

5.1 What Sole Drift Offers

Sole Drift is a digital adventure discovery platform designed to help users discover unique natural and outdoor

locations. The Platform includes interactive maps powered by Mapbox, hand-curated natural locations with

detailed visitor information, coordinates, parking, directions, and navigation assistance, difficulty ratings, walking

distances, and duration estimates, facilities, dog-friendly, and safety information, community CompletionSubmissions including ratings, reviews, and photos, saved locations and trip planning tools, completed location

tracking and explorer statistics, explorer rankings, badges, and achievements, community chat rooms,

leaderboards, and Partner Perks for Paid Members.

Some location pins display images sourced from Google Places via the Google Places API. These images are

provided by Google and their respective contributors and are displayed with attribution in accordance with

Google’s requirements. Sole Drift does not own these images. By tapping the attribution button displayed

alongside any Google Places image, you can view the original source on Google Maps.

Feature availability may vary by country, device, operating system, and Membership type. Features may be

added, modified, or removed at any time.

5.2 Access Tiers

Guest Access (no account required): You may open the App and browse the map without creating an

Account. A limited selection of location pins are visible. The majority of location pins are locked and require a

Paid Membership. Saving locations, accessing community chat, managing a profile, and submitting Completion

Submissions are not available without an Account.

Free Membership (registered, no payment): Creating a free Account gives you access to your profile, the

ability to save locations, and access to platform announcements. The majority of location pins, community chat

rooms, and Partner Perks remain locked and require a Paid Membership.

Paid Membership: A Paid Membership unlocks the full location database for the relevant country, the ability to

submit Completion Submissions, community chat rooms, Explorer Rankings, Partner Perks, and all other

premium features.

The selection of locations available under Guest Access and Free Membership may vary and is determined by

Sole Drift at its discretion. Sole Drift reserves the right to change which locations are freely accessible at any

time without notice.

5.3 Community Chat Access

Community chat rooms are available to Paid Members only. Free Members and guests may access

announcements posted by Sole Drift but cannot post messages or participate in community chat.

5.4 Future Features

We may introduce new features, countries, or functionality over time. Nothing in these Terms guarantees that

any planned feature will be introduced or that any existing feature will remain available indefinitely.

6. Memberships and Payments

6.1 Membership Types

Sole Drift offers Free Membership, Monthly Membership (auto-renewing), Yearly Membership (auto-renewing),

and Lifetime Membership (one-time purchase). There is no free trial period. Membership availability and pricing

may vary by country, currency, platform, and promotional period.

6.2 Lifetime Membership

A Lifetime Membership provides access to the Sole Drift service for the specific country purchased for as long

as that country’s service continues to operate. “Lifetime” means the operational lifetime of the service for the

purchased country, not the lifetime of the purchaser or their device. Lifetime Memberships are personal to the

purchasing Account and cannot be transferred, resold, gifted, or shared. If Sole Drift permanently discontinues a

country’s service, Lifetime Membership benefits for that service will end subject to any rights you may have

under applicable consumer protection laws.6.3 Where You Purchase Matters

Sole Drift Website: Payments processed by our authorised payment provider. Refunds handled by Sole Drift

per our Subscription & Refund Policy.

Apple App Store: Payments processed and managed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple.

Sole Drift cannot issue refunds for Apple purchases except as required by law.

Google Play Store: Payments processed and managed by Google. Refund requests must be submitted to

Google. Sole Drift cannot issue refunds for Google Play purchases except as required by law.

6.4 Subscription Renewals

Monthly and Yearly Memberships automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before

the renewal date through the platform on which the subscription was originally purchased. It is your

responsibility to keep your payment method valid. If a renewal payment cannot be processed, Sole Drift may

suspend or downgrade your Membership until payment is received.

6.5 Cancellation

You may cancel a recurring subscription at any time. Cancellation prevents future renewal charges but does not

delete your Account and does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the current billing period except as

required by law. Subscriptions purchased via an App Store must be cancelled through that App Store. Deleting

the App or your Account does not cancel an active subscription.

6.6 Membership Expiry

When a Monthly or Yearly Membership expires or is cancelled, your access reverts to Free Membership level.

The full location database, Completion Submission functionality, community chat rooms, and Partner Perks will

no longer be accessible until a new Paid Membership is purchased. Your Account, profile, and any previously

approved Completion Submissions remain visible while your Account is active.

6.7 Yearly Membership — Friend Referral

Users who purchase a Yearly Membership are entitled to invite one friend to join Sole Drift with one year of

complimentary Paid Membership access. The following terms apply:

• The Friend Referral must be claimed within 30 days of the Yearly Membership purchase date;

• To claim, email contact@soledrift.com with your friend’s email address and your Account details;

• Sole Drift will issue a gift code redeemable on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store;

• The Friend Referral is only available to new users who do not already hold a Sole Drift Account or active

Membership;

• The gift code is personal to the invited friend and cannot be transferred, resold, or exchanged for cash;

• Sole Drift reserves the right to verify eligibility and to modify, suspend, or withdraw the Friend Referral offer

at any time. Changes will not affect gift codes already issued.

6.8 Promotional Pricing

Sole Drift may offer promotional pricing, discount codes, or limited-time campaigns from time to time. Unless

expressly stated otherwise, promotional offers are available only during the advertised period, cannot be

combined with other offers unless explicitly stated, may be withdrawn or amended at any time, and have no

cash value and cannot be transferred or sold.

6.9 Pricing ChangesSole Drift may change Membership pricing at any time. Where required by applicable law or App Store rules,

pricing changes affecting existing recurring subscribers will only apply after appropriate notice.

7. Partner Perks

Paid Members may receive access to Partner Perks, which are discount codes, promotional offers, and benefits

provided by third-party brands and organisations selected by Sole Drift from time to time. The following terms

apply:

• Partner Perks are available to Paid Members only;

• The brands, offers, and discount codes available may change at any time without notice;

• Partner Perks are subject to those third-party organisations’ own terms and conditions;

• Sole Drift does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, or ongoing validity of any Partner Perk;

• Partner Perks have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash;

• Sole Drift is not responsible for any products, services, or experiences provided by third-party partners;

Any complaints relating to products or services obtained through Partner Perks should be directed to the

relevant third-party brand or organisation.

possible; respect National Park rules, protected areas, and Indigenous cultural heritage; minimise your

environmental impact; avoid disturbing wildlife; and not encourage others to engage in reckless, dangerous, or

environmentally harmful behaviour.

9. Completion Submissions, Reviews, and User Content

9.1 How the Completion Process Works

On the Sole Drift Platform, recording a visit to a location and leaving a review are part of a single integrated

process called a Completion Submission. The process works as follows:

• You tap on a location pin and select the option to mark it as completed;

• You are taken to the Completion Submission screen where you must provide: (a) a star rating; (b) a written

review reflecting your genuine personal experience; and (c) between one and five photographs taken by you

at the location as evidence of your visit;

• Your Completion Submission is reviewed by Sole Drift before publication;

• If approved, your submission is published, the location is added to your Completed Locations, and your

Explorer ranking is updated;

• If not approved, your submission will not be published and the location will not be recorded as completed.

Submission does not guarantee approval. Sole Drift is under no obligation to provide reasons for rejection. If

your submission is not approved, you will receive a notification but no further explanation will be provided.

9.2 Your Responsibilities When Submitting

By submitting a Completion Submission, you represent and warrant that you have personally and physically

visited the location; your written review reflects your genuine honest personal experience; the photographs were

taken by you at that location during your visit; your photographs accurately represent the location and are not

staged, edited to misrepresent conditions, or taken by another person; you own all photographs submitted or

hold all necessary rights; your submission does not infringe any third-party rights; and your submission complies

with these Terms and all applicable laws.

9.3 Prohibited Submission Conduct

The following conduct is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms:

• Submitting a Completion Submission for a location you have not personally and physically visited;

• Submitting photographs taken by another person or sourced from the internet or social media;

• Submitting AI-generated images or digitally manipulated photographs presented as genuine evidence;

• Fabricating or exaggerating your experience in a written review;

• Using multiple Accounts to submit additional Completion Submissions for the same location;

• Coordinating with others to submit misleading or inauthentic Completion Submissions;

• Attempting to manipulate Explorer Rankings, achievements, or leaderboards through fraudulent

submissions.

Where Sole Drift reasonably suspects a Completion Submission is fraudulent or in breach of these Terms, we

may reject or remove the submission, remove associated Completed Location records, adjust Explorer

Rankings, and suspend or permanently terminate the relevant Account.

9.4 Photo RequirementsA minimum of one and a maximum of five photographs may be submitted per Completion Submission.

Photographs must have been taken by you personally at the relevant location during your visit. Uploaded

photographs are automatically compressed and EXIF metadata (including GPS data) is removed during

processing.

9.5 Licence You Grant to Sole Drift

By submitting a Completion Submission, you grant Sole Drift a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual,

transferable, and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, communicate, and

use your written review, rating, and photographs to operate, maintain, improve, and promote the Platform,

including on Sole Drift websites, mobile applications, social media channels, app store listings, promotional

materials, email communications, and advertising campaigns. You are not entitled to any compensation,

royalties, or credit for these uses.

9.6 Community Chat

Community chat rooms are available to Paid Members only. Free Members may view platform announcements

but may not post. Chat messages are visible to other eligible members. Sole Drift does not verify the accuracy of

information shared by users in chat. Community chat is not continuously monitored but Sole Drift may monitor,

moderate, mute, or restrict individual users’ access to chat at any time where we reasonably believe these

Terms have been breached.

9.7 Moderation

Sole Drift reviews all Completion Submissions before publication. We may approve, reject, remove, or restrict

any submission or previously published content at our sole discretion and without prior notice. We are under no

obligation to explain moderation decisions.

10. Community Standards

This section sets out the standards we expect from everyone who participates in Community Features on the

Platform. These standards apply to all User Content including Completion Submissions, chat messages, profile

content, usernames, and profile pictures. Breaching these standards may result in content removal, chat muting,

suspension of Community Features, or permanent termination of your Account.

10.1 Treat Other Members with Respect

Treat every member the way you would want to be treated. You must not harass, bully, or intimidate other users;

make threats of any kind; discriminate against individuals or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion,

gender, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or any other characteristic; encourage hatred or violence;

deliberately provoke or troll other users; repeatedly contact a user after being asked to stop; or share another

user’s personal information without their consent. Healthy discussion and respectful disagreement are welcome.

Personal attacks are not.

10.2 Honest and Accurate Content

Only submit a Completion Submission for a location you have personally and physically visited. Your written

review must reflect your genuine personal experience and must not fabricate or exaggerate experiences,

include false or misleading information, be copied from another source, be submitted in exchange for rewards or

incentives, contain promotional language, or contain defamatory statements. Your star rating must honestly

reflect your personal experience and must not be used to manipulate rankings.

10.3 Respect Nature and the EnvironmentHelp protect the places we explore. Leave no trace; stay on designated tracks; avoid damaging vegetation or

wildlife habitats; respect wildlife; remove your rubbish; follow all local regulations and National Park rules; and

respect culturally significant and environmentally sensitive areas. Do not submit content that encourages

environmental damage or disregard for regulations. Sole Drift donates a portion of profits to environmental

organisations protecting the natural places our community explores.

10.4 Respect Private Property and Legal Boundaries

Not every beautiful place is publicly accessible. Do not submit content that encourages or facilitates trespassing,

climbing fences or bypassing gates, ignoring warning signs, entering closed or restricted areas, damaging

barriers or access controls, or any other activity involving illegal access to land. If you are unsure whether

access to a location is legal, check with the relevant land manager before visiting.

10.5 Stay Safe and Encourage Safe Behaviour

Do not submit content that encourages reckless or dangerous behaviour, unsafe cliff jumping or diving into

unknown water depths, swimming in hazardous or closed conditions, entering officially closed locations, ignoring

official warnings, or dangerous stunts. Share information responsibly — conditions at locations change and

other explorers rely on what you write.

10.6 Community Chat Standards

Keep your conversations respectful and welcoming, relevant to exploration and the Sole Drift community,

constructive and helpful, and free from personal attacks or inflammatory content. Avoid dominating

conversations, posting off-topic content, using chat to advertise products or services, or sharing unverified or

potentially dangerous information about locations.

Sole Drift reserves the right to mute or restrict individual users from posting in community chat rooms at any time

where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached. A muted user may still access and read chat

rooms but will be unable to post. Muting may be temporary or permanent depending on the nature and severity

of the breach. Sole Drift is not obligated to provide prior notice or detailed reasons for muting a user.

10.7 Explorer Rankings, Giveaways, and Rewards

Explorer Rankings celebrate genuine exploration and positive community participation. Do not attempt to

manipulate rankings by creating multiple Accounts, submitting fraudulent Completion Submissions, coordinating

with others to artificially inflate rankings, exploiting software bugs, or using any automated means to generate

platform activity. Where manipulation is detected, Sole Drift may remove points, reset rankings, revoke badges

or achievements, and suspend or permanently terminate the relevant Account.

Sole Drift may run giveaways, competitions, or reward programmes from time to time. Sole Drift is under no

obligation to run giveaways at any time. Entry requirements, including any role that Explorer Rankings play in

eligibility, are determined by Sole Drift for each individual promotion and may vary between promotions.

Rewards have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred, and may be modified,

suspended, or withdrawn at any time.

10.8 Usernames and Profile Pictures

Your username and profile picture must not impersonate another individual, business, or organisation; falsely

suggest affiliation with Sole Drift; contain offensive, hateful, or discriminatory language or imagery; promote

illegal activity; contain sexually explicit or suggestive content; or infringe another person’s intellectual property

rights. Sole Drift may require users to change usernames or profile pictures that breach these standards.

10.9 Prohibited Content

The following content is not permitted anywhere on the Platform:• Content that is illegal under any applicable law;

• Content that is defamatory, threatening, or intimidating;

• Hate speech or content that promotes discrimination or violence;

• Sexually explicit or pornographic material;

• Graphic violence or gore;

• Content that promotes or glorifies self-harm or suicide;

• Content that promotes criminal or terrorist activity;

• Content containing malware, malicious code, or harmful links;

• Content that infringes another person’s intellectual property rights;

• Content that includes another person’s personal information without their consent;

• Spam or unsolicited promotional content;

• AI-generated photographs presented as genuine evidence of a location visit.

10.10 No Spam or Advertising

Do not use the Platform to advertise products or services without Sole Drift’s express permission; post affiliate

links or referral codes for third-party services; repeatedly promote social media accounts; send unsolicited

promotional messages; recruit members to unrelated platforms; or repeatedly post identical content. Genuine

honest recommendations based on personal experience are welcome provided they are not promotional,

commercially motivated, or misleading.

10.11 Reporting Content

If you see content that breaches these standards, please report it using the reporting tools within the Platform or

by contacting us at support@soledrift.com. Each report is assessed individually. Submitting a report does not

guarantee removal. Knowingly submitting false or malicious reports may itself breach these Terms.

10.12 Moderation Consequences

Depending on the nature and seriousness of a breach, Sole Drift may issue a warning, remove content or reject

submissions, mute or restrict chat access, temporarily restrict Community Features, suspend your Account,

permanently terminate your Account, or report unlawful conduct to relevant authorities. Repeated or serious

breaches including submitting fraudulent Completion Submissions, manipulating Explorer Rankings, or

engaging in harassment are more likely to result in immediate permanent Account termination.

12. Outdoor Activities, Risk, and Safety

12.1 Informational Platform Only

Sole Drift is an informational discovery platform. We do not organise, supervise, guide, or control visits to any

location featured on the Platform. The Platform is not a navigation system, rescue service, emergency service,

or safety certification service. You must not rely solely on Sole Drift for navigation or emergency planning.

12.2 Assumption of Risk

Outdoor recreation involves inherent and sometimes serious risks that cannot be eliminated. By using the

Platform to discover and visit any location, you voluntarily and knowingly assume all risks associated with those

activities, including but not limited to drowning, strong currents, tides, and unpredictable water conditions; falls

from heights, cliffs, unstable terrain, and steep drop-offs; slippery rocks, surfaces, and paths; landslides, rock

falls, and falling branches; flash flooding, severe weather, lightning, and bushfire; heatstroke, dehydration, and

hypothermia; wildlife encounters, venomous animals, and insects; remote locations with limited or no mobile

reception; vehicle damage on unsealed roads; becoming lost or stranded; and limited access to emergency

assistance. The absence of a warning on the Platform does not mean a location is safe.

12.3 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for deciding whether to visit any location; assessing your own fitness, skills, and

capabilities; checking current weather forecasts, emergency warnings, tide information, fire danger ratings,

National Park notices, and road conditions before travelling; carrying appropriate equipment and emergency

supplies; obtaining any required permits; and complying with all applicable laws and regulations. Nothing on the

Platform replaces your own judgement, common sense, or personal responsibility.

12.4 Location Information May Change

Location information on the Platform may become outdated or inaccurate due to weather events, flooding,

erosion, bushfire, closures, changes in land access, government restrictions, or other factors beyond our

control. You should independently verify information before travelling, particularly for remote or hazardous

locations.

12.5 Completion Submission Disclaimer

Completion Submissions represent personal opinions and experiences at the time of visit. Sole Drift moderates

submissions before publication but does not independently verify every factual claim. Conditions at locations

change over time. Reliance on any User Content is entirely at your own risk.

13. Privacy and DataSole Drift collects and processes personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Platform,

you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy. The Platform integrates with third-party

services including Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, Google Places API, Mapbox, RevenueCat, Supabase, Sentry,

and 1clickimpact.com. The App uses Firebase (Google Analytics) for analytics and Sentry for crash reporting.

The Website uses the Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Ads conversion tracking for advertising

measurement.

14. Third-Party Services

the Platform, other users, or Sole Drift. Sole Drift may also mute or restrict individual users from posting in

community chat rooms without terminating their Account.

16.2 Account Deletion by You

You may permanently delete your Account at any time through the Platform or by contacting us at

survive termination will continue in effect, including provisions relating to intellectual property, disclaimers,

limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law.

complies with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction from which you access it. Where applicable regional

privacy laws impose additional requirements — including but not limited to the GDPR, UK GDPR, the Australian
