Last updated: March 17, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of foxminster.org and its services. By accessing and using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use our services. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of our platform following such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our website and services related to power walking and Nordic walking clubs, park trail schedules, and step-count challenge events.

User Obligations and Conduct

By using our services, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and to use our website only for lawful purposes. You agree not to engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of our services. This includes harassment, bullying, or discriminatory behavior toward other members and participants. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We expect all users to treat fellow walking group members with respect and to follow safety guidelines during organized walks and events. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, submit false information, or violate the intellectual property rights of others.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, images, audio, video, trail maps, and walking schedules, is the property of our organization or our content suppliers and is protected by international copyright laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, or display any content without our express written permission. This includes trail guides, Nordic walking technique materials, event schedules, and step-count challenge information. You retain ownership of any content you submit to us, such as photos from walking events or personal challenge records, but you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use such content for promotional purposes. We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same when sharing content within our community.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services or inability to access them. This includes injuries sustained during walking activities, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. We provide our website and services on an "as is" basis without warranties of any kind. While we strive to maintain accurate information about park trails, walking schedules, and Nordic pole technique, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of such information. Your participation in walking groups and physical activities is at your own risk. We recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before beginning any new physical activity program.

Termination of Services

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include violation of these terms, engagement in illegal activities, harassment of other members, or any conduct we deem harmful to our community. Upon termination, your right to use our services immediately ceases. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. If you wish to terminate your membership or account, you may contact us through our website's account settings. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to termination. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice of termination, but such notice is not required under these terms.
