TERMS OF USE

Acceptance

By using AviaQuest, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

Your account

• • You must provide accurate information when registering.
• • You are responsible for keeping your account secure.
• • You must be 13 years of age or older to use AviaQuest.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• • Post false, misleading or deliberately inaccurate bird sightings.
• • Share the precise locations of sensitive, nesting or legally protected species.

Wildlife protection

AviaQuest is committed to responsible birding. You must comply with the wildlife protection rules that apply where you are birding, including restrictions around nests, protected species, access and disturbance. In the UK this includes relevant protections under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981; when birding in Portugal or elsewhere, you are responsible for following the applicable national and European rules.

Content

You retain ownership of photos and notes you upload. By sharing them publicly, you grant AviaQuest a licence to display them within the app. We will never sell your content to third parties.

Identification accuracy

Bird identification results are provided by AI models and are not guaranteed to be accurate. AviaQuest is a tool to assist birders — always apply your own judgement. Never base wildlife reporting decisions solely on AI identification.

Service availability

AviaQuest is provided on a reasonable-effort basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and are not liable for any loss of data or inconvenience caused by downtime.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of AviaQuest after updates constitutes acceptance. Significant changes will be communicated through the app.
