Terms of Service
Last updated July 2026
These terms govern your use of The Outdoor Dispatch (operated by Epiqara LLC). By using the site you agree to them; if you don’t agree, please don’t use it.
Who can use the site
The Outdoor Dispatch is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under 18, please use the site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the site you confirm you can form a binding agreement and will follow these terms and all applicable laws.
What we provide
The Outdoor Dispatch is a free, informational directory of outdoor groups, clubs, and meetups run by independent third parties. We are not affiliated with and do not organize, control, or endorse the groups, organizers, or events we list.
Accuracy & confirming details
Listings are community-sourced and compiled from public information. They may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong — schedules, meeting places, costs, and whether a group is still active all change. Always confirm the details directly with the organizer before you show up.
Outdoor activities & your safety
Outdoor and physical activities carry inherent risks. You take part in any listed activity at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety, fitness, equipment, and decisions, and for following each organizer’s rules and all applicable laws.
Acceptable use
Use the site for personal, lawful purposes. Please don’t attempt to disrupt or overload it, scrape it abusively, or use it to break the law.
Feedback & suggestions
If you send us a suggestion, a problem report, or other feedback, we may use it to improve The Outdoor Dispatch— including adding or correcting a listing — without any obligation or payment to you. Please don’t send us anything confidential.
Intellectual property
The design, organization, and compilation of The Outdoor Dispatch are owned by Epiqara LLC. Group, organizer, and place names belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
Third-party links
The site links to organizers’ own pages and other third-party sites, which we don’t control and aren’t responsible for.
Affiliate links
We link out to partners such as AllTrails to help you plan. Where we take part in a partner’s affiliate program, those links are affiliate links: if you sign up or make a purchase after following one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence which groups, organizers, or trails we list or how we present them. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
No warranty & limitation of liability
The site and its listings are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Epiqara LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of the site or your participation in any listed activity.
Termination
We may suspend or limit access to the site or its features if you misuse them or to protect the site and its users. You can stop using The Outdoor Dispatch at any time.
Changes & governing law
We may update these terms as the site evolves; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Montana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
