OutfitterBase Terms of Service
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
Pre-publication legal draft
Company, jurisdiction, retention, and privacy-control details shown in brackets must be completed and reviewed by qualified counsel before public launch. “Prarie Works LLC” is shown as supplied and its exact legal spelling must be confirmed.
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and [OPERATING COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (“Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Operator offers the OutfitterBase website, mobile applications, communications, and marketplace services (the “Platform”) under license from Prarie Works LLC (“Technology Provider”). Technology Provider owns the Platform technology and associated intellectual property but is not the seller, outfitter, guide, landowner, or operator of outdoor experiences offered through the Platform. By using the Platform, creating an account, listing an offering, or booking or purchasing, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. What OutfitterBase Does
OutfitterBase is an online marketplace that helps customers discover and transact with independent guides, outfitters, landowners or authorized land controllers, and other outdoor-service providers (“Providers”). Listings may include guided trips, outdoor experiences, private-land access, legally supported wildlife-program documents, and related goods or services (“Offerings”).
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Operator and Technology Provider provide marketplace technology and administrative support only. A customer contracts directly with the Provider for the guided activity, access right, or other outdoor service (“Outdoor Services”). Providers are independent businesses—not employees, agents, joint venturers, franchisees, or representatives of Operator or Technology Provider. Neither company owns, manages, inspects, or controls a Provider’s business, land, equipment, vehicles, vessels, weapons, animals, personnel, or performance.
2. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 and legally capable of entering a contract to create an account, list an Offering, or book. A parent or guardian must make a booking involving a minor and complete all required consents and waivers. Provide accurate information, protect your credentials, and notify support@outfitterbase.com of suspected unauthorized use.
We may require identity, business, authority, licensing, insurance, safety, tax, payout, or background information. Verification is limited in scope and time and does not guarantee that a user is trustworthy, qualified, insured, safe, or compliant.
3. Provider and Landowner Obligations
Providers are solely responsible for their Offerings and Outdoor Services and represent that they have full legal authority to provide them. Platform review of a credential, parcel, boundary, or listing is administrative screening based on available information—not legal advice, title insurance, a survey, a government determination, a safety certification, or a continuing compliance guarantee.
•
Keep profile, availability, price, location, amenity, risk, equipment, accessibility, credential, and Offering information accurate and current.
•
Maintain every required license, registration, permit, land-manager authorization, vessel or operator credential, insurance policy, tax registration, and other authorization.
•
Perform professionally, safely, lawfully, and consistently with the listing and accepted booking.
•
Disclose known material hazards, restricted areas, rules, limitations, physical requirements, required customer licenses, and material changes.
•
Remain responsible for personnel, subcontractors, equipment, vehicles, vessels, firearms, animals, premises, taxes, permits, and services.
4. Customer and Participant Obligations
Customers must review all listing and booking terms, decide whether an activity is appropriate, obtain licenses and permits not expressly included, provide accurate party and safety information, bring required equipment and medication, and ensure participants follow law, property rules, conservation requirements, and reasonable safety instructions. If you provide another person’s information, you represent that you are authorized to do so and have made the Privacy Policy available to them.
5. Outdoor Risks and No Guarantee of Results
Hunting, fishing, boating, paddling, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, remote travel, and private-land use involve inherent and other risks, including weather, fire, terrain, water, wildlife, disease, isolation, equipment failure, vehicles, vessels, firearms, actions of other people, serious injury, illness, disability, property damage, and death.
Weather, animal behavior, harvest opportunity, catch, access conditions, and outdoor results are uncertain. No listing, review, verification badge, recommendation, or communication guarantees safety, compliance, wildlife availability, success, or any outcome. A separate activity waiver or Provider waiver may be required. Those waivers are separate contracts; these Terms do not replace them.
6. Listings, Search, Maps, and Recommendations
Listings are supplied primarily by users. We do not guarantee that they are accurate, complete, current, lawful, suitable, or available. Search and recommendations may consider location, preferences, availability, ratings, completed trips, promotions, and commercial relationships. Featured placement is not an endorsement. Maps, parcel boundaries, coordinates, access points, and public-record data are informational—not surveys, title opinions, navigation instructions, or guarantees of legal access.
7. Bookings, Prices, and Payment
Prices, inclusions, exclusions, taxes, Platform fees, processing amounts, and special terms displayed at checkout form part of the booking. Quotes may expire and availability is not guaranteed until checkout succeeds and the booking is confirmed.
The Platform collects full payment through a third-party processor. Operator does not receive or store full card numbers. You authorize the displayed charge and permitted refunds, transfers, reversals, and adjustments. Payouts may be held through completion and review. Payment and payout services are also subject to the processor’s terms. Providers remain responsible for taxes except where law requires another party to collect or remit them.
8. Cancellation, Refunds, Weather, and Changes
Unless different terms are clearly disclosed and accepted at checkout, a customer may cancel a paid guided-trip booking for a full refund only when cancellation is completed through the Platform at least 72 hours before the scheduled start. Inside that period, a booking generally cannot be cancelled or refunded through the standard flow. Pending checkout sessions may expire without charge, and refund timing depends on the processor and financial institution.
A Provider must promptly report an inability to perform. If a Provider cancels, materially changes, or fails to provide an Offering, Operator may help arrange an alternative, issue a full or partial refund, or provide credit, subject to law and reasonable review. Weather, fire, flood, road closure, government action, illness, or unsafe conditions may require delay, relocation, rescheduling, or cancellation. Travel, lodging, license, equipment, and third-party costs are not reimbursed unless promised in writing. Private-land access, goods, wildlife documents, promotions, and special offers may have different disclosed terms.
9. Completion, Contests, and Reviews
After a Provider marks a trip complete, the customer currently has 48 hours to approve or contest it through the Platform. Approval, or expiration of the disclosed period without timely contest where the Platform so provides, may release the payout. A contest is not an automatic refund. Reviews must be truthful and based on firsthand experience. We may moderate or remove reviews reasonably believed fraudulent, irrelevant, unlawful, retaliatory, abusive, or privacy-invasive.
10. Communications
We may send transactional emails, in-app messages, and push notifications about accounts, bookings, payments, safety, support, and policies. Optional marketing and push settings may be controlled where offered. Platform messages may be retained and reviewed as described in the Privacy Policy for support, safety, disputes, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
11. Goods, Affiliate Links, and Third-Party Services
The Platform may display affiliate products, dropship goods, external links, maps, authentication, payments, app-store services, or other third-party offerings and may earn affiliate compensation. Linked sellers govern their purchases through their own terms and privacy practices. Operator and Technology Provider are not responsible for third-party sites, services, content, availability, security, products, or conduct.
12. User Content
You retain ownership of profiles, listings, messages, reviews, media, documents, maps, feedback, and other material you submit (“User Content”). You grant Operator and Technology Provider a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt, distribute, display, and use User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Platform and relevant transaction. Private credential, identity, payment, and compliance documents will not be used for public marketing without permission.
You represent that you hold all required rights and permissions and that User Content does not violate another person’s rights. Platform suggestions and feedback may be used perpetually, worldwide, and royalty-free without compensation.
13. Acceptable Use
You may not violate law, wildlife rules, land restrictions, sanctions, or third-party rights; offer illegal activities or unauthorized access; submit forged or misleading information; facilitate poaching, trespass, weapons violations, fraud, cruelty, or unsafe conduct; harass or endanger others; manipulate reviews, rankings, fees, or transactions; scrape or resell Platform data; introduce malware or bypass security; impersonate others; or use personal information for unrelated or unauthorized purposes.
14. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Platform or request closure through support@outfitterbase.com. We may investigate, limit, suspend, remove content from, or terminate an account or Offering when reasonably necessary to protect users, property, wildlife, the Platform, or the public; comply with law or payment requirements; address fraud or safety risk; or enforce these Terms. We may preserve records and complete or unwind pending transactions as reasonably necessary.
15. Intellectual Property
The Platform software, architecture, design, databases, documentation, compilations, and other technology—excluding User Content and third-party material—are owned by Prarie Works LLC or its licensors and licensed to Operator. Operator grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to use the Platform as intended. No ownership transfers to you. Infringement notices may be sent to [IP/DMCA EMAIL AND POSTAL ADDRESS].
16. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” OPERATOR, TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER, AND THEIR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCLAIM EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY. THEY DO NOT WARRANT THAT USERS WILL PERFORM OR THAT AN OUTDOOR SERVICE, PROPERTY, WILDLIFE DOCUMENT, PRODUCT, OR RESULT WILL BE SAFE, LAWFUL, SUITABLE, OR SATISFACTORY.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPERATOR, TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER, AND THEIR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (“RELEASED PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL; OR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM A PROVIDER, CUSTOMER, OUTDOOR SERVICE, LAND, VEHICLE, VESSEL, WEAPON, ANIMAL, WILDLIFE DOCUMENT, PRODUCT, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, OR USER DISPUTE. TOTAL AGGREGATE PLATFORM LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF PLATFORM FEES PAID IN THE TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR US$100. Limits do not apply where prohibited.
18. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Providers will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from claims arising from listings, Outdoor Services, land or access authority, personnel, taxes, permits, equipment, User Content, breach, or legal violations. Other users provide the same protection for third-party claims arising from User Content, unlawful or willful misconduct, breach, or violation of another’s rights. No consumer must indemnify a Released Party for that party’s own negligence where prohibited.
19. Disputes Between Users
Users should first try to resolve transaction concerns through Platform messaging and support. Operator may facilitate communication, request evidence, make Platform-level payment or account decisions, or decline involvement. Neither Operator nor Technology Provider becomes a party to the underlying contract or has a duty to resolve private legal claims except as law requires.
20. Governing Law and Forum
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING-LAW STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to consumer law, state and federal courts in [COUNTY, STATE] will have exclusive jurisdiction. Before a non-emergency claim, provide a written description and requested relief and allow 30 days for good-faith informal resolution. This draft does not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.
21. Changes
We may update these Terms prospectively by posting the revision and effective date and giving additional notice where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted. We may change features without eliminating rights already vested under a confirmed booking except as its terms or law permit.
22. General Terms
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, checkout disclosures, and accepted additional terms are the entire Platform agreement. You may not assign them without written consent; Operator may assign them with a merger, restructuring, asset sale, financing, or transfer of its operating license. Technology Provider and the Released Parties are beneficiaries of provisions expressly protecting them. If one provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays effective.
