Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Off Beat Pathfinder — where the roads are winding, the maps are handmade, and the terms of use are written in plain English (mostly). By using our site, you agree to the rules outlined below. Blaze promises to keep it as fun and fair as possible.

1. Eligibility

To use Off Beat Pathfinder, you must be at least 16 years old. If you’re under that age, you’ll need to wait a few birthdays before adventuring with us. Blaze will still be here.

2. Account Responsibility

You’re responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. If you share your account with your cousin from Tallahassee and they start planning a llama trek in your name — that’s on you. Please let us know immediately if you suspect account misuse.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this site for anything sketchy, shady, or spammy. That includes hacking, impersonation, misusing member tools, or using Blaze’s name to start a pyramid scheme. You know better.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on Off Beat Pathfinder — including copy, images, podcast episodes, ebooks, and Blaze’s hand-drawn stick maps — is protected by copyright. You’re welcome to share with credit, but you can’t resell or reuse without permission.

5. Member Communications

By creating an account, you agree that Blaze (and our system) may send you emails, notifications, and the occasional friendly nudge about new features. You can opt out of promotional emails anytime — but essential account messages will still come through.

6. Paid Features & Memberships

If you choose to upgrade your membership, purchase a trip planning add-on, or unlock a premium feature — thank you! Prices, billing cycles, and cancellation details will be clearly outlined on the checkout screen. We don’t do sneaky fees or fine print.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, abuse the platform, or give Blaze a bad name. If your account is terminated, you may lose access to saved itineraries, forum posts, and badges. Be cool and you’ll be fine.

8. Third-Party Links & Tools

We may include links to external sites, like lodging platforms, travel affiliates, or goat yoga retreats. We don’t control those sites and aren’t liable for what happens once you leave our platform — but we do try to vet partners that align with our values.

9. Limitation of Liability

Off Beat Pathfinder is built for inspiration, education, and entertainment — not as a licensed travel agency or legal advisor. You use this site at your own risk. We’re not responsible for travel mishaps, wrong turns, or ghost towns that turn out to be... actual ghost towns.

10. Updates to These Terms

We may tweak these terms over time. Major changes will be posted on this page. If you keep using the site after we post updates, that means you accept the new terms. Blaze always reads the fine print — now you do too!

11. Contact Us

If you have questions, feedback, or stories of bizarre roadside attractions to share, head over to our Contact Page. Blaze reads every message (eventually).

Thanks for reading the fine print. You’re officially more prepared than 87% of travelers.
