Legal
Terms of Service
The short version: your trips are yours, we keep them for you, and nothing Ventr tells you about the backcountry is a substitute for your own judgement.
Effective 2026-08-29
1. Who these are with
These terms are between you and Ventr Industries, LLC (Colorado, United States), which operates Ventr. Using Ventr means you accept them.
2. Your account
You need an account to use Ventr. Keep your credentials to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. You must be 13 or older. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account.
3. Your content stays yours
Your trips, photos, videos and notes belong to you. We do not claim ownership of any of it.
You give us permission to store, process and display your content for the purpose of running Ventr for you: storing it, generating descriptions and a story from it, producing exports, and showing it to whoever you publish it to. That permission exists so the product can function, it extends no further, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.
Publishing a trip is your choice, and it makes the published parts visible to anyone with the link. Do not publish content you do not have the right to publish.
4. Safety, and the limits of what Ventr knows
Ventr is a planning and record-keeping tool. It is not a safety device and it is not authoritative.
Route plans, camp suggestions, difficulty ratings, fuel and water estimates and weather windows are generated from public data and, in part, by AI models. They can be out of date and they can be wrong. Land status changes, roads close, fires start, water sources dry up, and a camp that was legal last season may not be this one.
Verify legality, water, fuel range and conditions with the managing agency and current conditions reports before you rely on any of it. Carry appropriate equipment and a means of emergency communication. Cell coverage in the country Ventr is built for is often absent, and the app cannot summon help.
You are responsible for your own decisions in the field. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for what happens on your trip.
5. What you agree not to do
- Publish content that is unlawful, infringing, or someone else's to publish.
- Publish content that identifies or endangers other people without their consent.
- Attempt to access accounts, trips or files that are not yours.
- Interfere with the service, or automate access in a way that degrades it for others.
- Use Ventr to locate or expose sensitive sites, whether cultural, archaeological or private.
We may suspend or close an account that does these things, and we will tell you why when we can.
6. Availability
Ventr is provided as it is, without warranty. We do not promise it will be available without interruption, and we may change or discontinue features. If we discontinue the service, we will give you reasonable notice and a way to get your trips out.
Your recorded trips live on your phone until they are uploaded, so losing the service does not lose the trip you are currently on.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ventr Industries, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of Ventr. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, which for a free account is nothing.
8. Changes
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell account holders by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Ventr after that means you accept the new terms.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
