By downloading, accessing, or using the Trekmara mobile application (the “App”), you (“the User”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this App.
2. RIGHT TO MODIFY WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE
Trekmara reserves the exclusive right, at its sole discretion, to modify, alter, or update these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice. Such modifications shall become effective immediately upon posting within the App. It is the User’s responsibility to check this section periodically for changes. Your continued use of the App following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the revisions.
3. SCOPE OF SERVICES
