At RescueMesh, we are committed to improving outdoor safety through technology. However, it is essential to understand that RescueMesh is a supportive tool — not a guaranteed rescue system.
By using the RescueMesh mobile application, you agree to the following safety terms and limitations:
1. No App Can Guarantee Rescue
RescueMesh is designed to assist with emergency alerts and location sharing via mesh network technology, especially in areas without cell coverage. However, RescueMesh does not ensure or promise rescue, response, or recovery.
Environmental factors, terrain, user error, low battery, or lack of nearby users may impact the app’s functionality in emergencies.
2. Technology Limitations
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or mesh signal strength may be weak or unavailable in certain locations
- Battery life, device compatibility, and weather conditions can interfere with SOS or tracking features
- Offline communication depends on proximity to other users or devices — if you’re isolated, alerts may not transmit
Always bring additional safety gear and backup communication methods when exploring remote areas.
3. Not a Replacement for Common Sense
RescueMesh should never be your only safety measure. You are responsible for:
- Planning safe ski routes
- Letting someone know your travel schedule
- Following local ski resort or backcountry safety rules
- Carrying appropriate survival gear
Do not take unnecessary risks assuming RescueMesh will “always work.”
4. False SOS Warnings
Misuse of the SOS feature, such as sending false alerts or triggering non-emergency signals, may result in app restrictions and could carry legal consequences depending on local laws.
Please use RescueMesh responsibly.
5. You Acknowledge
By installing and using RescueMesh, you acknowledge:
- You understand the risks involved in winter sports and mountain travel
- You accept that RescueMesh is not a certified rescue service
- You release [the makers of this app] from liability for failure to receive assistance due to app or user limitations
