4. AI Analysis Disclaimer

Important: The AI-powered road analysis provided by Motero is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for your own judgment as a rider.

Road conditions change over time — analysis is based on imagery that may not reflect current conditions
The AI may produce inaccurate assessments of road surface quality, hazards, or conditions
Weather, seasonal changes, construction, and other factors can alter road conditions at any time
Always exercise caution, ride within your skill level, and assess road conditions in real time

You acknowledge that Motero's analysis is a planning aid and accept full responsibility for your riding decisions.

5. Street View Imagery

The Service uses Google Street View imagery to perform road analysis. All Street View imagery is the property of Google LLC and is used in accordance with the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service. You may not download, copy, or redistribute Street View imagery obtained through the Service.

6. Pioneer System and Royalties

Motero operates a Pioneer System that rewards users who contribute to road analysis coverage. As a Pioneer, you may earn credit royalties when other users access road segments you helped analyze.

Analyst Pioneers earn a percentage of credits when riders unlock segments they analyzed
Rider Pioneers earn a percentage of credits when their recorded ride data contributes to segment analysis
True Pioneers who both analyze and ride earn a combined royalty rate

Royalty rates and the Pioneer System structure are subject to change at Motero's discretion. We will notify users of material changes. Royalties are credited as Motero credits and are subject to the same terms as purchased credits. Motero reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Pioneer System at any time.

By participating in the Pioneer System, you grant Motero a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use road data you contribute for the purpose of providing and improving the Service.

7. GPS Navigation and Motorcycle Safety Disclaimer

Critical safety notice: Motero is a route planning and road information tool — it is not a substitute for attentive riding.

Never interact with your phone or the app while riding
GPS navigation is an aid only — always observe road signs, traffic laws, and real-time conditions
GPS signals may be inaccurate, especially in tunnels, mountainous areas, or dense urban environments
Routes suggested by the Service may include roads unsuitable for your motorcycle type or skill level
You are solely responsible for your safety and riding decisions at all times

Motorcycle riding carries inherent risks including serious injury or death. By using Motero, you acknowledge these risks and agree that the Service is a planning aid only. The rider is always responsible for their own safety.

8. User-Generated Content

Routes you create and analyses you perform are associated with your account. By using the Service, you grant Motero a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use anonymized and aggregated data derived from your routes (such as road quality ratings) to improve the Service and generate community features like the heatmap. Your specific route details remain private unless you choose to share them.
