Shepherd's Sky terms of use

Last updated 1 November 2026

These terms form an agreement between you and Dibs McCallum when you create an account, subscribe, contribute content or use Shepherd's Sky.

Planning information, not a safety guarantee

Forecasts, tide guidance, access notes, parking details, routes and community updates can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. Always check current weather, official tide information, daylight, access restrictions, private land, parking rules, local warnings and your own ability before travelling.

You remain responsible for route choice, equipment, personal safety and compliance with local law. Do not enter closed, unsafe or restricted land because it appears in a guide.

Accounts and acceptable use

You must be at least 13 to create an account. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or guardian. Shepherd's Sky is not directed to children under 13.

Keep account credentials secure and provide accurate information. You must not abuse, scrape, reverse engineer, disrupt or unlawfully access the service; impersonate others; post unlawful, misleading, dangerous or infringing material; expose sensitive wildlife or restricted locations; or use Shepherd's Sky to harass other people.

Your contributions

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Dibs McCallum a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, resize, display, moderate and distribute that content as needed to operate and promote Shepherd's Sky. You confirm that you own submitted photos or have permission to use them and that your guide information is supplied honestly. You can request removal, subject to legitimate retention for moderation, safety and legal records.

Community and moderation

We may review, restrict or remove content and suspend accounts to protect users, locations and the service. “Verified” and freshness checks describe community or editorial checks at a point in time; they are not guarantees.

Subscriptions

Paid features, price, billing period, free-trial terms and renewal details are shown before purchase. Subscriptions are managed by the relevant app store and renew unless cancelled through that store before renewal. Restore Purchase is available where supported. Statutory consumer rights are not affected.

Where an introductory offer is available, the purchase screen shows eligibility, the number of discounted payments and the price that applies afterwards. The subscription renews at the disclosed standard price when the introductory period ends. Cancel through the store to stop future renewals; deleting the app or your app account does not cancel a store subscription.

Maps and external services

Interactive maps inside the current iPhone, iPad and Android apps are rendered by Mapbox. Provider attribution remains visible, Mapbox features are subject to the Mapbox Terms of Service and the Mapbox Privacy Policy, and Shepherd's Sky disables optional Mapbox telemetry. Navigation actions may open Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze or another service selected by you. External map, navigation, booking and website links take you to services we do not control.

Availability and liability

We aim to keep Shepherd's Sky useful and available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, Shepherd's Sky is provided for photography planning and we are not responsible for losses caused by relying on stale community information, forecast uncertainty, third-party services, unsafe travel decisions or events outside our reasonable control.

Changes and termination

We may update features or these terms. Material changes will be notified in the app or by another reasonable method before they take effect. You may stop using Shepherd's Sky and request account deletion; we may restrict access for serious or repeated breaches.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without removing any mandatory consumer protection that applies where you live. Contact: [email protected].
