Terms & Conditions
Last updated 18 October 2026
Ride safelyRoutehold is an aid to navigation, not a substitute for your own attention, skill and judgment. Always obey traffic law and the actual road ahead, which take priority over anything the app shows or says. Do not touch your phone while riding. Maps and routes can be wrong: never follow guidance that is unsafe or unlawful.
The short version- Routehold helps you follow a route you planned. It is a riding aid, not a replacement for paying attention to the road.
- The road always wins. If the app and the real road or the law disagree, follow the road and the law.
- Maps, routing and directions come from third parties (Mapbox and OpenStreetMap) and can be wrong, out of date, or unsafe. You ride at your own risk.
- Routes you import are your own; Routehold follows them as given and does not check them for safety or legality.
- Ride groups are optional. If you join one, your rider name and position are shared with the riders in that group.
- Importing, previewing and downloading routes is free. Riding, Find fuel now and ride groups need the Routehold pass: a subscription with a 14-day free trial, or the one-off Routehold Lifetime purchase. Purchases are made through the App Store and renew or end under its rules.
- The app is provided "as is", with no warranties.
- Nothing here removes rights the law does not allow to be removed, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
This summary is for convenience only. The full terms below are what apply.
1Who these terms are with
Routehold ("the app") is provided by Christopher Stuart Wild, an individual based in the United Kingdom ("I", "me" or "my"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the app. By downloading, installing or using Routehold, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
2Availability and features
Routehold may contain errors, and its features may change, be interrupted, or be withdrawn at any time without notice. Features described on routehold.com or elsewhere are not guaranteed to be present or to work as described.
3Safety and your responsibility as a rider
3.1Routehold is an aid to navigation only. It is not a substitute for safe riding, or for your own attention, road awareness, skill and judgment.
3.2You are responsible at all times for riding safely and lawfully and for the control of your motorcycle.
3.3Actual road conditions, road signs, road markings and traffic law always take precedence over any route, instruction, direction or information given by Routehold. Where the app conflicts with the road ahead or the law, you must follow the road and the law, and must not follow the app.
3.4Do not hold, operate or interact with your phone while riding. Set up and check your route before you set off, and stop somewhere safe and lawful before making any change.
3.5Any speed, distance, time or limit shown is for information only. It does not replace posted speed limits or your duty to ride at a speed that is safe and legal for the conditions.
3.6Motorcycling carries inherent risks, including the risk of death, serious injury and damage to property. You are responsible for assessing your own skill and experience, your motorcycle and equipment, the weather, and the suitability and legality of any route, before and during every ride. You use Routehold, and ride any route, at your own risk.
3.7Keep your phone adequately charged and securely mounted, and make sure that using it does not distract you from the road.
4Maps, routing and data accuracy
4.1The mapping, routing, directions and related data used in Routehold are provided by third-party services, principally Mapbox, and rely on underlying data including OpenStreetMap. I do not create, control or independently verify this data.
4.2This data may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or otherwise unsuitable. Roads may be missing, changed, closed or private; directions may be wrong; and surfaces, restrictions and conditions may differ from those shown. Guidance may route you in ways that are impractical, unsafe or unlawful.
4.3Routes you import into Routehold (for example GPX or KML files that you create or obtain elsewhere) are your own. Routehold follows the route as given and does not check it for accuracy, safety, suitability or legality. You are responsible for the routes you choose to ride.
4.4To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no responsibility or liability for any error, inaccuracy, omission or unsuitability in any map, route, direction or other data, or for any consequence of relying on it. Always ride according to the actual road and the law, not the app.
5No warranty
5.1Routehold is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This includes, without limitation, any implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.
5.2I do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or available at any particular time or location, or that any defects will be corrected.
6Limitation of liability
6.1Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. In particular, nothing excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales.
6.2Subject to clause 6.1, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, income, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, Routehold.
6.3Subject to clause 6.1, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, my total liability to you arising out of or in connection with the app, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to the amount (if any) that you have paid to use Routehold in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the liability. Routehold is currently provided free of charge.
6.4If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that these Terms do not affect.
7Your responsibilities and acceptable use
7.1You must use Routehold only in a lawful manner and in accordance with these Terms.
7.2You are responsible for your own device, its settings, how it is mounted, its power and its data connection, and for keeping your own files and routes backed up.
7.3You must not misuse the app, interfere with its operation or security, or use it in any way that is unlawful or that could harm others.
7.4Ride groups are optional. If you create or join one, the rider name you enter and your position are shared with the other members of that group, as described in the Privacy Policy. Only invite people you are happy to share your position with, and do not use a rider name that is unlawful or offensive or that impersonates someone else.
7.5Positions shown in a ride group can be delayed, approximate or missing. Do not rely on them for your safety or anyone else's, and do not use ride groups to follow anyone without their consent.
8Data and privacy
8.1To provide navigation, Routehold uses your device's location and sends routing requests to Mapbox in order to generate and follow routes. Those requests are processed by Mapbox under its own terms and privacy policy.
8.2Routehold asks only for the permissions it needs in order to navigate. How Routehold handles your data, including the ride log it keeps on your device and the position sharing in ride groups, is explained in the Privacy Policy.
9Third-party services and content
9.1Routehold depends on third-party services and data, including Mapbox and OpenStreetMap. Your use of features that rely on them may also be subject to those third parties' own terms. Map data is © Mapbox and © OpenStreetMap contributors.
9.2I am not responsible for third-party services, for their availability, or for the accuracy of their data.
9.3If you obtained Routehold from Apple's App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These Terms are between you and me, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or for supporting it.
10Intellectual property
The Routehold name, logo and the app itself are owned by me or my licensors. These Terms do not transfer any rights in them to you, other than the limited right to use the app in accordance with these Terms.
11Changes
11.1I may update, change, suspend or withdraw the app or any of its features at any time.
11.2I may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will be published at routehold.com. If you continue to use the app after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
12Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of Routehold, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom you may also bring proceedings in your home nation.
13Purchases, subscriptions and the free trial
13.1Importing a route, reading its details, previewing it on the map, downloading it for offline use and every setting are free. Starting a ride, Find fuel now and ride groups need the Routehold pass.
13.2The pass is sold through the app store you got Routehold from, as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription or as a single Routehold Lifetime purchase. The price in your currency is shown in the app and in the store before you confirm, and may differ between countries. Payment is taken by the store, not by me.
13.3Each subscription starts with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts to the paid subscription and the store charges you. A subscription then renews automatically for the same period, at the price shown when you subscribed, until you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel it in your store account settings, not in the app; deleting the app does not cancel it.
13.4Routehold Lifetime is a single payment with nothing to renew. It is tied to your store account and can be restored on another phone signed in to that account using Restore purchases.
13.5Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you may have a legal right to cancel a digital purchase within 14 days; the store's refund process is how that right is exercised, and by starting the free trial or using the pass you ask for the service to begin during that period.
13.6I may change the price of the pass for new purchases at any time. For an existing subscription the store will tell you about a price change before it applies, and where the law requires it will ask for your consent.
13.7From time to time I may issue codes that grant the pass free or at a discount. A code is personal to the account that redeems it, may not be resold, and gives no right to a refund of any earlier purchase.
13.8Nothing about a purchase is sent to any server of mine. The app reads what the store reports about your pass and keeps a copy on your phone so that a ride can start where the store cannot be reached.
