Terms of Use
Last updated: September 2026
These terms explain what Dialed Guides is, how you may use it, and the limits of our responsibility.
Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using Dialed Guides (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these terms from time to time; your continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
What Dialed Guides is
Dialed Guides is a directory. We compile publicly available information about climbing destinations, professional climbing guides, and guide services, and we help visitors discover and contact those professionals directly. We are not a booking platform, a party to any guiding engagement, an employer, a certifying body, or a permit-issuing authority.
Any profile, credential, permit, availability, or contact detail shown on the Site is presented for informational purposes and reflects data supplied by the listed professional or drawn from public sources. It may be out of date or incomplete.
No endorsement or guarantee
Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee of any guide's or service's competence, insurance, permits, availability, or character. We do not verify every claim a listed professional makes about themselves. You are responsible for doing your own due diligence before hiring or climbing with anyone you find here.
Your conduct
You agree to use the Site lawfully and not to:
- misrepresent yourself or your relationship to a listed profile;
- submit false, misleading, or infringing content;
- scrape, harvest, or republish directory data at scale;
- use the Site to send unsolicited commercial messages to listed professionals.
Claimed and submitted profiles
Guides and guide services may claim or submit profiles. Claiming a profile establishes that you manage its content; it does not mean Dialed Guides has verified your identity, credentials, or permits. We may edit, suspend, or remove profiles that violate these terms or that we believe are inaccurate or misleading.
Intellectual property
The Site's design, text, and original content are owned by Dialed Guides. Listed professionals retain rights to their own names, logos, and photos as shown in their profiles. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or create derivative works of the Site's compiled directory content without permission.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dialed Guides and its operators are not liable for any injury, loss, damage, or claim arising out of your use of the Site or your interaction with any listed professional. The Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.
For the risks specific to climbing and outdoor activity, please also read our Liability & Assumption of Risk page.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in California.
