5.1 No Representation About Real-World Locations

The appearance of a location, route, business, landmark, Mission, treasure, or other point on Trash Bandit does not mean:

it is safe;
it is open;
it is publicly accessible;
entry is permitted;
a property owner has granted permission;
Trash Bandit has inspected it;
Trash Bandit controls it;
Trash Bandit owns it;
the information is current;
conditions have not changed;
the location is appropriate for you; or
Trash Bandit endorses the location.

You must independently assess conditions and legality before entering or approaching any location.

5.2 Accessibility

Trash Bandit is committed to providing access to its Services without unlawful discrimination on the basis of disability and to making reasonable efforts to improve the accessibility of its websites, applications, and digital features for users with disabilities.

Where reasonably practicable, Trash Bandit may provide or support accessibility features, accessibility information, alternative methods of participation, or other reasonable modifications designed to improve access to the Services.

Trash Bandit is a location-based platform that incorporates real-world locations and activities, including parks, trails, streets, landmarks, businesses, public spaces, Missions, Treasure Hunts, Trash Bounties, Hideouts, Events, Physical Bounties, and user-created locations. Many of these locations are owned, operated, maintained, or controlled by third parties rather than Trash Bandit.

Accordingly, Trash Bandit does not represent or guarantee that every real-world location, route, Mission, Treasure Hunt, Trash Bounty, Hideout, Event, Physical Bounty, or other activity displayed through the Services will be accessible or suitable for every individual.

Accessibility may be affected by circumstances outside Trash Bandit's control, including terrain, stairs, slopes, trails, surfaces, distance, weather, construction, entrances, transportation, parking, operating conditions, property restrictions, and accessibility facilities provided by third-party property owners or operators.

Users are responsible for considering their individual accessibility requirements and determining whether a particular real-world location or activity is appropriate for them before participating. The absence of accessibility information for a location does not mean that the location is accessible.

Where accessibility information is provided through the Services, such information may originate from users, businesses, public sources, property owners, or other third parties and may not always be complete or current. Users should independently verify accessibility information where appropriate before travelling to or participating at a location.

Users who experience an accessibility barrier when using Trash Bandit's digital Services, or who require assistance accessing a feature, may contact Trash Bandit through the official Support or Contact page. Trash Bandit will consider reasonable accessibility requests and modifications in accordance with applicable law.

5.2.1 Accessibility Information for User-Created Content

Users creating Missions, Events, Hideouts, Treasure Hunts, Bounties, or other location-based content are encouraged to provide accurate accessibility information where known, including information concerning stairs, steep terrain, unpaved surfaces, significant walking distances, wheelchair access, or other physical accessibility considerations.

Users must not knowingly provide false or misleading accessibility information.

The presence or absence of accessibility information does not constitute a guarantee by Trash Bandit that a location or activity is accessible, safe, or suitable for a particular individual.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or waive any accessibility, accommodation, or disability right that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or waived.

30% supports the Trash Bandit platform.

A Bounty's displayed transaction terms control that Bounty.
