Terms & Conditions — Recreational Users

WildPass is a marketplace that connects people seeking outdoor access with landowners offering it, and a directory of public and open-access lands. WildPass does not own, control, inspect, or maintain any land listed on the platform. We are not a party to the access arrangement between you and a host, we are not an outfitter or guide service, and we make no representation that any property is safe or suitable for any activity.

Outdoor recreation is inherently dangerous. Activities available through WildPass — including but not limited to hunting, fishing, foraging, hiking, swimming, camping, climbing, ATV and off-road riding, horseback riding, cycling, winter sports, and paddling — can cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death. Hazards include terrain, weather, water, ice, falling trees and limbs, wildlife, livestock, insects, plants, fungi, machinery, firearms, tree stands, and other guests.

By booking any pass you voluntarily accept these risks in full and participate entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release WildPass, its owners, and its staff from any claim arising out of your use of listed land. Hosts may additionally require you to sign a liability waiver before entry; refusing to sign cancels the booking.

Read the Field Safety rules — they are part of these terms.

Never eat any plant or mushroom you have not identified with 100% certainty. Species information on listings is provided by hosts as a good-faith guide and is not a guarantee of identification, edibility, or safety. WildPass and hosts accept no responsibility for illness or death resulting from consuming foraged material.

Hunting and fishing require valid state licenses, tags, and stamps — your WildPass booking is land permission only. You are solely responsible for complying with all game laws, seasons, weapon restrictions, and safety-zone rules.

Follow the listing's rules, harvest limits, and zone map. Stay in open (green) zones; never enter restricted (red) zones. Pack out all trash. Close gates. No smoking where prohibited. Bring no more guests than your pass allows, only during your booked window. Violations may result in removal, rating penalties, account termination, and forfeiture of fees — and may constitute criminal trespass.

Prices are set by hosts. Guests pay the listed price plus a 6% WildPass platform fee. Payments are processed by Stripe; the host is the merchant of record. Cancellation and refund policies are set per listing by the host; contact the host through your booking for changes. Chargebacks filed to bypass a host's stated policy may lead to account termination.

The platform, including maps, species lists, season estimates, hunting-regulation overlays, and public-land cost information, is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Regulations change; always verify with the official agency. To the maximum extent permitted by law, WildPass's total liability for any claim is limited to the platform fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

You must be at least 13 years old to hold a WildPass account. WildPass is not directed to children under 13, and consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 — an under-13 signup attempt is refused and nothing from it is stored. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact help@wildpass.club and we will delete it and its data promptly.

Ages 13-17 (youth accounts): a youth account must be linked at signup to the WildPass account of a parent or legal guardian who is 18 or older, and stays subject to that link. Youth accounts cannot book passes — the linked adult books a group pass that includes the minor, and the minor visits the property only accompanied by that adult (or another adult the guardian designates in the booking group). Minors may never visit listed properties alone. You must be 18+ to book any pass and 18+ to list land as a host.

WildPass includes community features — trip posts, photos, reviews, messages, and listing content. By posting, you grant WildPass a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host and display that content on the platform, and you confirm you own it or have permission to share it (including consent from identifiable people in photos).

Strictly prohibited in all content: illegal content of any kind; nudity or sexually explicit material of any kind (including partial nudity and sexualized imagery — WildPass is an all-ages outdoor community); any sexual content involving minors, which we report to NCMEC and law enforcement; content depicting or promoting illegal activity, including poaching, taking game out of season or without licenses, trespass, or harvest beyond legal limits; violence, threats, or harassment; hate speech; other people's private information; and spam or deceptive commercial content.

Photo uploads are screened by an automated nudity filter at upload and may be reviewed by our team; anything violating these standards is removed, and violations lead to content removal, account termination, and where applicable referral to law enforcement. To report content, email help@wildpass.club.

One account per person; accurate information (including your real date of birth) required. Harassment, misrepresentation, poaching, and commercial harvest on personal passes are prohibited. Disputes with WildPass are resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under Michigan law, except where prohibited. We may update these terms; continued use after notice is acceptance.
