Terms

Rypa is made by Caliverse AS (org. no. 938 407 452), Norway. By using Rypa you agree to these terms. How we handle your data is in the privacy policy. Questions: hello@rypa.app.

Your account

You can use Rypa without an account. Friends, sharing, plans, groups and chat need one, and are open from 13. One account per person, in your own name or a name that does not pretend to be someone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account; tell us at once if someone else gets into it.

Community rules

Rypa has no tolerance for abusive or objectionable content or behaviour. In names, photos, captions, comments, finds, chat and anything else you share, do not:

• harass, threaten, bully or stalk anyone, or keep contacting someone who has said no or blocked you;
• post hate, sexual content, nudity, violence or anything illegal;
• pretend to be someone else, or make fake or extra accounts;
• share other people's private information or photos of them without their consent;
• spam, advertise or sell, or use Rypa to find people for anything other than hiking.

You can report a person, a hike or a find in the app, and block anyone. We look at every report within 24 hours. We may remove content and suspend or close an account that breaks these rules, without warning, and we tell the police when someone may be in danger.

What you share

What you add stays yours. You let Caliverse AS store it and show it to the people you chose, for as long as you keep it in Rypa. A trail you send in may be published as a trail on Rypa's map for everyone, together with the open map data it is built on. Only share photos and words you have the right to share.

Safety

Rypa helps you plan and walk, but it does not replace a map, a compass, the weather forecast and your own judgement. Trails, grades, times, heights, weather and conditions come from many sources and can be wrong or out of date. Paths change, and the mountain does not care what an app says.

Live share and the alert when you are not back are best effort. They need signal, battery and the people you told to act. Rypa is not an emergency service: in danger, call 112, or 113 for medical help.

Meeting people

Rypa can help you find people to hike with, but it does not check who they are. You decide whom you meet. Meet at a busy trailhead, tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, and leave if something feels wrong. Report anyone who behaves badly.

Identify

Identify's answers come from AI and can be wrong. Never eat, touch or use a plant, mushroom or animal based on them.

Pro and Trip Pass

You buy Rypa Pro and the Trip Pass through Apple, and Apple's standard licence terms apply as well. Rypa Pro renews every year until you cancel it in Settings at least 24 hours before it renews. The Trip Pass lasts 14 days and does not renew. Refunds go through Apple.

Liability

Rypa is offered as it is. As far as Norwegian law allows, Caliverse AS is not liable for injury, loss or damage that comes from using Rypa's trail, weather, safety or AI information, or from meeting people through Rypa. Your rights as a consumer are not limited by these terms.

Changes and law

When these terms change in a way that matters, we tell you in the app before it takes effect. Norwegian law applies.
