Terms of Use & Outdoor Activity Disclaimer

These Terms apply to Not Lost Or Found, including Find Your Shot, Sky Daddy, Field Notes, downloadable resources, and other travel, photography, and outdoor content created by Shannon Roberts. By using the website or its tools, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not rely on the content to plan or undertake an activity.

General information, not real-time guidance

Content is provided for general informational, editorial, and educational purposes only. It is not professional guiding, emergency, medical, legal, navigation, weather, road-safety, or land-management advice. Information may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your circumstances. Conditions, rules, closures, fees, hours, hazards, road access, trail access, and weather can change without notice.

You must verify current information directly with the government agency, Tribal authority, land manager, property owner, emergency service, or other organization responsible for the location before traveling or participating.

Outdoor activities involve inherent risks

Travel, hiking, photography, stargazing, driving, camping, boating, and other outdoor activities may involve foreseeable and unforeseeable risks, including falls, cliffs, unstable or uneven terrain, extreme heat or cold, altitude, dehydration, storms, flash floods, lightning, snow, ice, darkness, fire, water hazards, wildlife, plants, insects, traffic, unmaintained roads, equipment failure, limited cell service, delayed rescue, serious injury, illness, property damage, and death.

You voluntarily decide whether to visit a location or participate in an activity. You are solely responsible for evaluating your skills, health, fitness, experience, equipment, transportation, companions, children, pets, and current conditions; selecting an appropriate route; obeying laws and closures; carrying suitable supplies; and turning around when circumstances exceed your preparation or ability.

No control over destinations or third parties

Not Lost Or Found and Shannon Roberts do not own, operate, inspect, maintain, supervise, or control the parks, trails, roads, viewpoints, businesses, tours, Tribal lands, public lands, or other third-party destinations mentioned on this website. A listing, link, photograph, or recommendation is not a guarantee or certification of safety, access, legality, quality, or suitability and does not create a guide-client, agency, partnership, or supervisory relationship.

Stewardship and lawful use

You are responsible for complying with all laws, permits, fees, closures, posted instructions, photography restrictions, drone rules, and land-manager requirements. Practice Leave No Trace: plan ahead, travel on durable surfaces, dispose of waste properly, leave what you find, minimize fire impacts, respect wildlife, and be considerate of other people and local communities. Do not trespass, damage natural or cultural resources, disturb wildlife, block roads, enter closed areas, or expose fragile or sensitive locations.

No warranties

The website, tools, recommendations, links, downloads, forecasts, and other content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Not Lost Or Found and Shannon Roberts disclaim express and implied warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Not Lost Or Found, Shannon Roberts, and their contractors, contributors, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for any injury, illness, death, loss, property damage, rescue cost, travel disruption, indirect damage, consequential damage, or other claim arising from or related to your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website or its content; your travel to or participation in an activity at a listed destination; changing or hazardous conditions; or the acts or omissions of a land manager, business, tour operator, website, map provider, or other third party.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a responsibility or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or liability limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

Downloads and intellectual property

Unless a page says otherwise, site content and downloads are provided for personal, noncommercial use. They may not be resold, repackaged, redistributed, or represented as your own. You may share links to the original pages.

External links

Links to maps, agencies, businesses, services, or other websites are provided for convenience. Not Lost Or Found does not control their content, security, availability, terms, or privacy practices.

Changes and governing law

These Terms may be updated as the site and its tools change. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
