Terms of Use
These terms apply to the Slopie apps for iPhone and Android and to slopie.app, provided by Alp Yenigün (“we”). The app asks you to accept them when it first opens, and using Slopie means you accept them. How we handle your data is described in the Privacy Policy.
Safety first
Skiing and snowboarding are dangerous, and you take part at your own risk: ski within your ability and follow the FIS rules for skiers and snowboarders. The real world comes first. The resort’s signs, piste markings, ropes and closures and the instructions of its staff and ski patrol always override anything Slopie shows.
Slopie’s information can be incomplete, out of date or wrong:
- The map, its runs, lifts, difficulty colours and places come from open data such as OpenStreetMap and from automatic processing.
- Directions are a planning and orientation aid, not a navigation or safety system. They use only the runs and lifts on Slopie’s map and never go off-piste, but they may lead over runs that are closed, too hard for you or in poor condition, and their times are estimates.
- Lift states come from the resort’s own published list, which the app names and links. Slopie shows a state only when that list gives it: a lift without one is unknown, never open.
- Weather and snow are model forecasts from the sources named in the app.
- Steepness and aspect are computed from elevation data. They are not avalanche information: off-piste and backcountry terrain needs the official avalanche bulletin, training and equipment.
- Recorded speeds, distances and runs are estimates from your phone’s sensors.
Do not look at your phone while you are moving: stop at the side of the piste, never where it is narrow or hard to see. Slopie is not a safety, rescue or avalanche device, and sharing your location with friends is not an emergency service: a position can be late, wrong or missing. In an emergency call the local emergency number (112 in Europe and Türkiye) or the resort’s ski patrol.
Who can use Slopie
You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 where the law of your country sets that age for consent (as some countries of the European Economic Area do). If you are under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission to buy Slopie Pro.
Your account
Keep your sign-in method secure; you are responsible for what is done with your account. You can delete it at any time in the app.
Your content
Your recordings and profile remain yours. You allow us to store, process and show them as needed to run Slopie and as your sharing settings say.
Fair use
Do not use Slopie unlawfully, harass or impersonate others, try to reach other people’s accounts or data, disrupt the service, collect its data in bulk by automated means, or copy, decompile or reverse engineer Slopie’s own software, its apps and its website’s code, beyond what the law or the open-source licences of its parts allow.
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive people. Your name, username and photo must not be offensive, hateful, sexual or misleading. In the app anyone can block a person and report them from their profile; we look at every report within 24 hours, remove what breaks these terms and close the accounts behind it.
Where the information comes from
Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database License. Lift states come from the resorts’ own lists, and weather from Open-Meteo and the other sources credited in the app’s Map data screen. These sources do not promise accuracy either.
Slopie Pro
On iPhone, Slopie Pro is sold through the App Store under Apple’s terms. The yearly subscription starts with a free week where the App Store offers one; it then renews every year at the price shown until you cancel it in your Apple account, at least 24 hours before the renewal. The week pass gives Pro for seven days and does not renew. Refunds are Apple’s to grant.
Changes and ending
We may change, suspend or end features. We will tell you before a change to these terms takes effect, and when it matters the app asks you to accept the new terms. You can stop using Slopie and delete your account at any time; we may suspend an account that breaks these terms.
Liability
We run Slopie with reasonable care, but we cannot promise that its information is accurate, complete or always available. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for gross negligence or intent, under product liability law, or anywhere else the law does not allow it to be limited, and nothing in them takes away your rights as a consumer.
Otherwise, as far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and 50 euros.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim in its courts; consumers in Türkiye may also turn to the consumer arbitration committees. Nothing in these terms requires arbitration or gives up your right to go to court.
