Terms of Use — Beach Book

App: Beach Book (com.ziehro.mybeachbook). Publisher: ZIEHRO / Driftwest, Strathmore, Alberta, Canada. Last updated: 5 November 2026.

These terms apply to the Beach Book Android app. By using Beach Book you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

The short version: Beach Book is a community beach map. Logs come from other users and satellites, so check conditions yourself before you swim, walk out on rocks or drive anywhere. Be decent in what you post.

1. Not safety advice

Beach conditions, water and shoreline scores, tide times, satellite estimates and species identifications can be wrong or out of date. They aren't a safety warning or an all-clear. Follow local signs, lifeguards and official advisories, and use your own judgement near water.

2. What you post

You keep ownership of your photos and notes. By posting them you let us show them in Beach Book and use them to build the beach database. Only post photos you took or have the right to share. Don't post people's faces without their OK, private property, anything illegal, abusive or spam. We may moderate, edit or remove anything.

3. Your account

You sign in with Google. You're responsible for what's posted from your account. We may suspend accounts that break these terms. You can delete your account at any time: see Delete your data.

4. Paid reports

Satellite beach reports are paid once through Stripe at the price shown before you pay, in Canadian dollars. They're estimates from satellite imagery. If a report fails to arrive, email us and we'll resend or refund it.

5. No warranty

Beach Book is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZIEHRO / Driftwest is not liable for any injury, or any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, arising from your use of Beach Book. Where liability can't be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.

7. Changes

We may update the app and these terms. The current version is always at this address, with its date at the top.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
