Terms of Service

Yottatable (also referred to in this policy as “we”, “us” or “our”) is operated by the Yottatable editorial team. The site is published at yottable.top.

You can reach us by email at [email protected] for general enquiries, at [email protected] for editorial questions and corrections, and at [email protected] for formal legal notices. Postal address details are available on written request to [email protected].

By accessing or using this site you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and by any additional terms that apply to specific tools or features you choose to use.

If you do not agree, do not use the site. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of another person (for example your employer or a group you organise), you confirm that you have authority to do so.

Yottatable is a source-cited outdoor data journal. It contains long-form reporting on equipment, routes, brands and access rules, a database of gear records and a set of working planning calculators. The site is intended as a planning aid for outdoor activity, not as a substitute for professional advice, certification or local knowledge.

Nothing published here is a guarantee of safety, accuracy or suitability for any particular trip or individual. Outdoor activity carries inherent risk, and it is your responsibility to verify route conditions, weather, regulations and personal capability before relying on any information presented on this site.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use this site for your own trip planning and non-commercial reading. You may bookmark, print and quote short excerpts under fair-dealing principles, provided you keep the citation intact and do not imply endorsement.

• Scrape, crawl, mirror or otherwise systematically extract material from this site at scale without prior written permission.
• Reproduce whole articles, gear records or tool content on another site or in printed publication without a licence from us.
• Use any content published on this site to train, fine-tune or ground commercial machine-learning models without a licence.
• Sell, sublicense or otherwise commercialise access to our tools or content.
• Attempt to interfere with the operation of the site, including by automated means intended to bypass rate limits or authentication.

All editorial text, photographs, illustrations, code, calculators, database structure and design elements are the intellectual property of the Yottatable editorial team or of the third parties credited in each piece. The trademarks, brand names and product names that appear on the site are the property of their respective owners.

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others. If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, send a notice to [email protected] including the URL of the affected page, a description of the work and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

The calculators published on this site (pack weight, layering, hydration, hiking time, calories, cost per wear, altitude, daylight, battery, sleeping-pad R-value, bear canister, trip budget) are implemented client-side from named published methods and are intended as planning estimates.

Each tool page lists its sources and its limitations. Numbers are produced from the inputs you enter and from the documented model; outputs are not guaranteed and should be used as one input among several, not as a sole basis for safety-critical decisions.

Yottatable links to external websites for sourcing, manufacturer specifications, regulations and reader convenience. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Following an external link is at your own risk; read the destination site's terms and privacy policy before relying on it.

We aim to keep this site available, accurate and current, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, withdraw or change any feature or any piece of content at any time, including after publication, to fix errors, update methods or comply with new information. Substantive corrections are logged in the editorial-policy section of each article.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all warranties, conditions and representations, express or implied, in connection with the site and its content. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, and we do not warrant that any specific result can be obtained from use of the site.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising from or in connection with your use of the site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of your country of residence, including (for consumers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom) liability for personal injury caused by negligence and liability for breach of statutory rights.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Yottatable editorial team from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by a third party arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the site, or your violation of any applicable law or the rights of another person.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continuing to provide the service would create an undue security or operational risk. Where reasonable, we will give you advance notice and an opportunity to address the issue.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The version date appears at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage for at least 30 days. Your continued use of the site after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, User Agreement and any tool-specific notices, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the site. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force.

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in this section removes any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
