Terms of use

These terms cover your use of TrailTaper. By using the site and its plan generators, you agree to them. Please read the health note carefully, because training carries real physical risk.

Last updated June 28, 2026.

A free tool, offered as is

TrailTaper is a free service. The hiking and running plan generators, the guides, and the rest of the site are provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We work to keep the tools accurate and online, but we do not promise they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suited to your particular circumstances.

Health disclaimer, please read

The plans TrailTaper produces are general fitness guidance for information only. They are not medical advice, and they are not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified doctor, physiotherapist, or coach who knows your history. Endurance training, loaded hiking, and running place real stress on the body and carry a risk of injury.

Consult a doctor before starting any new training program, especially if you have a heart condition, a chronic illness, an injury, are pregnant, or have been inactive for a long time. Listen to your body, progress sensibly, and stop and seek medical help if you feel unwell or experience pain. You use the plans at your own risk, and you are responsible for your own training decisions.

Acceptable use

You may use TrailTaper for your own personal training planning. You agree not to misuse the site, for example by attempting to break, overload, or gain unauthorized access to it, by scraping it at scale, by reselling the generated plans as your own product, or by using it for any unlawful purpose. We may limit or refuse access to anyone who abuses the service.

Intellectual property

The TrailTaper name, the site design, the written guides, and the underlying tools are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. You are welcome to generate, download, print, and use plans for your own training and to share your own results. You may not copy or republish the site content or pass off the tools as your own.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, TrailTaper and its operators are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the site, the plans, or your training, including any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss. Because the service is free and the plans are general guidance, you accept that you rely on them at your own risk and use your own judgment.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site develops. When we make a meaningful change we will revise the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use TrailTaper after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable where the site is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes any rights you have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your own country.
