We do our best to make everything work. We use reliable Amazon servers and we run daily backups. However, in a worst case scenario, things can go wrong and we want you to understand that we cannot be held responsible for any lost data and/or content.

Bloggers have been accepted to this network because they create high-quality content that is frequently updated. As we want to be dynamic new media house for the outdoor sports, we cannot accept that blog has just been left to die with no updates, no new content. Therefore we have a right to redirect any blogs that have not been updated in 30 days to our active blogs that represent outdoor sports blogging at it’s best.
