BagLimit Terms of Use and Disclaimer

Version 1.2 · Effective 31 October 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Thomas Maslauskas, of Gibsons, British Columbia ("we", "us"). They cover your use of the BagLimit app ("BagLimit"). By ticking the box and tapping "Agree and continue", you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use BagLimit.

The same text is also at https://baglimit.app/terms.

1. BagLimit is a guide, not the law

BagLimit gives a plain-language summary of recreational fishing rules for British Columbia, compiled from public federal and provincial sources. It is an independent app. It is not an official or legal source of fishing regulations, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Province of British Columbia, or any other government body. Government names are used only to identify where the information comes from.

The official regulations, licence conditions, fishery notices and closures are the only legal authority. Even the government's own summaries say this: the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis is "for general information purposes only", and where it differs from the Regulations, "the Regulations are the final authority." If BagLimit differs from an official source, the official source governs.

2. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• holding every licence, stamp, tag and validation you need, and following its conditions;
• knowing and following the current federal and provincial regulations for the waters you fish, including open and closed times, bag and possession limits, size limits, gear rules, and species identification;
• checking for in-season changes, fishery notices, closures (including shellfish closures) and area-specific rules before you fish;
• your own safety and the safety of anyone with you.

Before you fish, check the official sources, including DFO (tidal waters and salmon) and the Province of BC (non-tidal freshwater).

3. Offline data may be out of date

BagLimit stores regulation data on your device so it works without a signal. That data is only as current as your last update, and we may not learn of a change right away. Regulations can change at short notice, including during the season. BagLimit shows the date of your data. Treat older data with extra caution and update it whenever you can.

4. Location, maps and boundaries

Location features rely on your device's GPS and on boundary data we have drawn from public sources. GPS can be off by tens of metres or more, especially near shore, in canyons, under tree cover or on the water. Our boundary lines are approximations, not legal surveys. Near any boundary, closure line or river mouth, assume the stricter rule applies until you have confirmed your position and the rule from official sources.

5. Safety; not for navigation

Fishing and boating carry real risks, including drowning, hypothermia, changing weather, tides and currents. BagLimit is not a navigation aid, chart, tide table or safety device, and you must not use it for navigation. Use official charts, tide tables, marine forecasts, proper safety gear and your own judgment.

6. No warranty

To the extent the law allows, BagLimit is provided "as is" and "as available". We don't promise that BagLimit or its data is accurate, complete, current, available, or error-free, or that it is right for your exact location or situation. Nothing we say outside these Terms creates a warranty. Section 9 explains which rights this doesn't affect.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows:

• we are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of BagLimit or your reliance on its information. This includes fines, tickets, penalties, charges, prosecutions, seizure or forfeiture of gear, catch, vessels or vehicles, licence suspensions, legal costs, lost fishing time, travel costs, and any other consequence of a breach of fishing or other laws;
• we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss; and
• if we are found liable for any reason, our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for BagLimit in the 12 months before the claim and CA$50.

This section applies whether a claim is in contract, negligence or any other legal theory.

8. Indemnity

If someone else brings a claim against us because you broke the law or these Terms while using BagLimit, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim. This doesn't apply to the extent the claim was caused by our own fault.

9. Rights these Terms don't take away

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes:

• our liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence;
• liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• any right you have under consumer protection law, including British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, or any other law that can't be waived or limited by contract.

If a court finds any part of these Terms unenforceable, that part is limited only as far as needed and the rest still applies.

10. Our sources and other services

BagLimit uses information published by DFO and the Province of British Columbia under their licences and attribution terms. The source for a rule is shown with that rule in the app. Those bodies have not reviewed or approved BagLimit. We are not responsible for outside websites we link to.

11. Licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use BagLimit for your own non-commercial fishing. Don't copy, scrape, resell or redistribute BagLimit's compiled data, and don't reverse-engineer the app except where the law allows.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Each version has a number and an effective date, shown on the Packs tab under Terms of Use and Disclaimer and at https://baglimit.app/terms, and we keep past versions. If we make a material change, we will show it in the app and ask you to accept it before you continue. Other changes take effect when posted. If you don't accept a change, stop using BagLimit. The version you accepted governs anything that happened before the change.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. You may bring a claim in the courts of British Columbia or, if the law where you live gives you that right, in your local courts. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not waive your right to take part in a class proceeding. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.

14. App stores

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for BagLimit and its content.

If you downloaded BagLimit from Apple's App Store, you and we acknowledge the following. Your licence does not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

• These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for BagLimit and its content.
• The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use BagLimit on any Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that BagLimit may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• We are solely responsible for maintenance and support of BagLimit. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for BagLimit.
• We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If BagLimit fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for BagLimit to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to BagLimit, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to BagLimit or your possession and/or use of BagLimit, including product liability claims, any claim that BagLimit fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. These Terms do not limit our liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.
• If a third party claims that BagLimit, or your possession and use of BagLimit, infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that intellectual property infringement claim.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Questions, complaints or claims about BagLimit should be directed to Thomas Maslauskas, Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada, at support@baglimit.app or https://baglimit.app/support.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using BagLimit.
• You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

15. General

These Terms, our Privacy Policy at https://baglimit.app/privacy, and the in-app disclaimer are the whole agreement between us about BagLimit. Not enforcing a right straight away doesn't waive it. We may transfer these Terms to a successor owner of BagLimit, with notice, without reducing your rights. Sections 1 to 9 and 13 survive after you stop using BagLimit.
